Hiring a DJ for our wedding was something that was difficult for us without seeing them perform. From the day we met Steve at a wedding expo, I knew he was the perfect fit. He sat down with us for quite some time to discuss their process, their capabilities, and their vision. The online portal made it easy for us to find and add songs we wanted played throughout our day. Steve even went as far as remastering a version of a song for my step father and myself to dance to! If I could, I would re-hire SG Productions over AND OVER again!! They truly made our day memorable, held us accountable to our timelines, and kept all of our guests on the dance floor. We are SOOO thankful!! Steve and his team are the best of the best!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

DJ was absolutely amazing! She was able to capture these beautiful moments from start to finish. Both my wife and I aren’t the most smiley but because of DJ working with us and talking it through with us at our engagement session by the time we got to our wedding day it was so effortless. We absolutely love the pictures but we love the ones of our family even more. She absolutely photographed my family which had darker skin tones beautifully which was one of my concerns when looking for a photographer but DJ did amazing and we have these stunning photographs to forever remember the day. She herself is so kind and delightful and is so cool to work with and worked so well with our other vendors too.

Can’t recommend Cortney Torres Photography enough! We just got our wedding album back and could not be happier. Cortney was wonderful to work with and helped coordinate the entire day for us. She created a timeline of events and perfectly planned out the day so we would not be rushing and have plenty of time to capture all of the photos and details. And the photos - MY GOODNESS! She has such an amazing gift. From engagement photos to the wedding day photos, Cortney made us feel so relaxed and captured our moments perfectly and also made it very fun. 10/10!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris is, simply put - the best. From our first meeting it was clear he understood exactly what we were looking for, which allowed us to go into our wedding day with full confidence and peace of mind. He came prepared that day for every possible contingency and even kept tabs with the MOH and Best Man to make sure everything was running on time, all while keeping a positive, calm, and upbeat demeanor. NOT TO MENTION he was able to capture such amazing and special moments throughout the day and evening — even when it meant wrangling some of our more rowdy guests to get the perfect shot. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out. The hardest part now is picking out our favorites to print and share because there are so many incredible photos. Could not recommend Chris highly enough — 10/10!

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Emerson, NJ

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

One of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Communication with Diana and Korey was smooth from the get go. Just take a look at their beautifully organized website and gallery and you'll understand what I mean! (It's also a great place to start looking for venue inspo!) Time tables with when and what things should happen are reviewed at a scheduled check in time. And the attention to detail they dedicate to your vision/pinterest board is a true sigh of relief for any bride in the wedding planning process! Josh and I are also certified introverts so it's hard for us to feel at ease in front of a camera. But each and every member of their team was so personable that it was easy for each smile and laugh to be genuine. Of course it also helped that Diana always had a pose idea ready to try! During our sweltering July wedding, despite 95 degree weather, Diana and her team sweated alongside us and continued to show enthusiasm for getting that next shot at that next backdrop to make sure every moment was captured. AND she had so many preview photos ready a mere TWO DAYS after the wedding. Herculean feat truly All our friends cannot stop complimenting the wedding album as they said Diana and Korey truly encapsulated our day and helped them relive it once more. I am so thankful that we have these memories memorialized through them and can't recommend this magical team enough!

Adam is the best of the best! After scrolling through his photography we knew he would be our perfect choice, but after meeting him, our choice was solidified. Adam is easy going but professional which was portrayed during our first meeting with him. We shared similar styles of wedding photography showcasing the emotions of the day with raw, lighthearted candids vs strict poses with serious faces. We booked an engagement session with Adam, which was a great way for us to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Adam more. He allowed us plenty of time to get all the shot locations we wanted and gave us excellent cues to allow for natural poses. We felt at ease with Adam as if it was a best friend taking our photos. Throughout wedding planning, Adam was always there with a quick email response. He is organized, detail oriented and planned a check in with us before the wedding to ensure everything would go smoothly. He truly listened to what we wanted and what our goals were for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Adam was the most calm, attentive, and down to earth photographer. My husband and I had the best day of our lives and if you look through our pictures, Adam captured it perfectly. We like to think every part of our day went so smoothly because we had Adam on our side. He seamlessly got through all our family photos and made certain we got all the photos we had planned for. Although, we honestly loved Adam so much because he snapped away during all the moments, planned versus not planned. He has incredible ability to snap photos where you can see emotions and bring you right back to that moment. I cried tears of happiness when we received our sneak peek photos because they were everything and more I could have ever dreamed of. Our family and friends have consistently raved about Adam, not only for his beautiful photos, but the way he conducts himself. Hiring Adam was the best decision we could have ever made and we cannot recommend him enough!

We were on the hunt for the perfect band for my wedding on Zola, WeddingWire and The Knot. My fiancé and I wanted to find a band that had no negative reviews. We came across bands with 500 reviews, but after reading some bad feedback, we started feeling concerned. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Loveday band, which had nothing but positive reviews - and it turned out to be the best decision we made! When we visited their website, we were delighted to hear their organic sound, which sounded so close to the original songs on their promotional video. After reaching out to them for more information, we had a couple of chats, and finally set a date to meet at my parent's house. It was a fantastic meeting; everyone loved Marcel. He was funny and went over all the details. We were sold and decided to go with them. Our wedding was absolutely amazing, from the ceremony to the reception. Loveday band's talented musicians brought the house down and lived up to everything we saw in their promotional video. They sounded incredible and kept the guests dancing all night on a packed dance floor. There wasn't a single guest at their table during the reception! We received compliments from every guest about the band we hired. I would highly recommend Loveday band to friends or anyone looking for a band for their big day. Many thanks to Loveday band for delivering a perfect evening performance! Doug & Jenny

They came an hour early to make sure everything was setup, I even got an extra hour of photos taken while the videographer was putting together his gizmo. He recommended Drawlines Studio for video which they did a fabulous job putting the video together. There DJ was perfect, had a speaker system for the ceremony and for the venue. The fog machine, sparklers and TVs really made my moments with my husband and dad special. The wedding album and parent albums are such good quality. Over all everything was perfect. Thank you for everything!!

Hi, I’m Cathy Melando—Congrats on your engagement! I’m a registered officiant in NJ and licensed in NY. I create personalized, meaningful ceremonies that reflect each couple’s unique love story. I also write custom scripts for first-time officiants. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a big celebration, I offer traditional or modern ceremonies for all couples. Since 2010, it’s been an honor to celebrate love in all forms: straight, gay, and lesbian. Let’s make your ceremony as unique and unforgettable as you are!

When my husband and I spontaneously decided to get married this Halloween, we could not have predicted how beautiful it would be- and we have Cathy to thank. With her exceptional creativity, she was able to write a customized, Halloween themed ceremony that made both of us cry. Cathy is highly skilled, competent, friendly, communicative, and above all else, she will go above and beyond to make sure your ceremony is PERFECT. You can not go wrong if you chose her for your special day, for anything from completely traditional, or, if you’re like us, completely non-traditional and unique. Thank you, Cathy, for making our special day one we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives!

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.
