Portraits By Lisa Marie

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

As a natural light photographer, I have a deep love for capturing the most beautiful moments that life presents. My passion lies in preserving these precious memories through my lens. I strive to showcase the magic and authenticity found in everyday moments. Through my photography, I aim to create images that inspire and evoke emotions in those who view them.

Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

Hello! I'm Jandi, a spirited photographer dedicated to capturing unforgettable moments with passion and creativity. Photography, for me, is more than just a profession, it's a desire to live in the intense moments. The ability to tell stories through visuals is a power that never ceases to amaze me. My journey into the world of photography began with a fascination to take a photograph and have that moment forever, and since then, it has evolved into a relentless pursuit of preserving that moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jandi and her second shooter Joe were absolutely great to work with! Super friendly and energetic. We’re definitely a camera shy couple but they made photos a fun and easy experience. They also didn’t give us any weird looks when our friends inevitably goofed off and suggested a photo of my maid of honor pretending to stab the groom or the best man suggestively riding a rake we found on the ground or even when the groom insisted Joe hop in a group photo with all the other Joseph’s attending the wedding (there were several) My husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken has already told me he intends to only use Jandi for any future events or occasions that will require professional photos so I consider that the highest praise possible from him lol You should absolutely hire Jandi if you want a comfortable and enjoyable experience!

Growing up with New York City as my playground and with constant exposure to the city’s vibrant culture and style, I had been introduced early on to the concept of self-expression—ultimately using a comb to sculpt my creations. I am known for my effortless updos, and glamorous waves! I decided to create Fluff Me because as a new mom going to a salon was a mission. What better place to get a blowout other than the comfort of my own surroundings! We pride ourselves of consistency of quality styling and positive professional attitudes.

I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of working with Fania and her team (Christie and Sydney) this past September for my wedding. They were essential in bringing my vision to life and creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime! Fania was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process from booking, to the trial, to the big day. On the day of, they were timely (even running early - which with 15 girls to glam is not only impressive to say the least, but also allowed for a stress free environment all morning), and as a bride I couldn't have been more grateful. From the second they arrived until after my second look for my reception (a full 12 hour day for them), the attention to detail, the talent and the energy they brought is absolutely unmatched. My day would not have been the same without them! I speak for myself and all of my girls when I say that we have never felt more beautiful. I have been singing their praises from the rooftop to anyone who will listen and will continue to do so! If you're a soon-to-be bride I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Fania and her team!

It brought us right back to the day when we were looking through the huge inventory of shots. Brought tears of joy and gratitude. Lets not forget the video!! My GOD!!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Jenny Flora Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Essex Fells, NJ

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny is Waterloo Village's preferred photographer and it's incredibly easy to see why! We researched so many photographers and were having a hard time finding a) ones that fit our style and b) were available for a not astronomical price. When we looked up Jenny's info, we were immediately excited by how clean, bright, and airy her photos are. She definitely did not disappoint for our wedding either! Jenny was always communicative, helped us build our ideal shot list, and had a lot of good suggestions for how to make the most out of our time. Her experience with the venue was a huge boon here as we easily got all our traditional posed photos done with time to spare pre-ceremony, and she knew the perfect route to take us around the venue (which is huge and has so many photo opps). She and the day assistant Nicolette she brought on are also just super nice and easy to be around which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. They never once made us feel awkward or forced. She turned around our highlights within a week which was an incredible surprise to get on our honeymoon and I love every single picture already. We definitely recommend Jenny!

Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

Hello! I’m the man behind the camera, capturing moments with deep passion for a couple of decades. What began as a simple hobby quickly grew into a mission to freeze time and immortalize your joyous occasions, candid moments, and raw emotions. My goal is to make my photos more than just images—they’re reflections of your most cherished moments, creating a deep connection between you and your memories. My work isn’t just a transaction; it’s about fostering a friendly, approachable environment where you feel comfortable and enjoy the process. I hope you come to love your photos as much as I love creating them.

Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

I take a photojournalistic approach to your images so that you can be fully present to live each moment authentically with the people that matter the most to you.

Corrina is a great photographer! We were so happy with all of our photos, I can never pick a favorite because they are all so great. She is also very adaptable, she listens to what you want and is always willing to try something new. We got married in 2020, so we had so cancel a lot of things, turn it into a micro wedding and make changes last minute. She was happy to go with the flow and make sure I still got the shots I wanted. We also did a trash the dress where my husband and I ran into the ocean. She was going to stay on shore, but the sun was behind us and without skipping a beat Corrina ran into the ocean to get the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen! I will forever be grateful for her passion for photography and her kindness.

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Carrie is the absolute best. I’ve had the pleasure to work with her multiple times and she knocks it out of the park each and every time! Go with Carrie - you will not regret it !

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are a phenomenal photographer team and we loved working with them for our wedding. They were easy to work with both in preparation for the big day, and on the day itself. They have a special eye that captures moments perfectly, and ties them together to make you feel like you’re watching the day on film (yet it’s all ‘still’ photos). They are artists and masters of their craft. I’m honored and grateful we had the chance to work with both of them. In addition to all of the above, they delivered our photos in a very fast amount of time. We really appreciated that. We opted to purchase an album from them which was an investment we would make over and over again. While they let us help with the design, they truly know best. In my opinion you do not need a videographer if you invest in the right photographer. Bethany and Raquel are THOSE photographers.
