  • Photographer

  • Serves Forked River, NJ

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Awarded Best of Zola
Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

My husband and I were planning a celebration in Hoboken for the fall of ’24 and when it came time to book our DJ, I knew that I wanted to book with 4AM without question. Having worked with Madison Janice before (I work in hospitality events), I already knew that they are the absolute best at what they do and would match us with the perfect DJ. That they did, and soon we were connected with DJ TRE, who’s an absolute ray of sunshine KILLER DJ. When certain circumstances forced us to rethink the wedding location and cancel the Hoboken event, we needed to regroup and change our original plans. We eventually decided on a smaller, intimate event in Malibu, and the 4AM team was BEYOND accommodating and understanding and we were so grateful to learn that TRE could DJ for us on the West Coast! Tre was incredible on our big day and kept our friends and family grooving all day – she provided the perfect soundtrack to the most spectacular Malibu day. We had a relatively specific preferences that weren’t necessarily typical wedding fare and she totally understood the vibe. We really could not be more grateful to TRE and the entire 4AM team for their help in making our big day a massive success.

I cannot recommend Laura enough to photograph your special day! Laura was our wedding photographer this past June and was such a pleasure to work with. While in the process of picking a photographer, Laura and I chatted over Zoom and I was pleasantly surprised with how easy Laura was to talk to, as well as how organized she seemed with her planning. Leading up to the wedding Laura was very communicative and answered all my questions immediately. The day of the wedding she arrived right on time and was incredibly organized. Her second photographer, Bia, was also a pleasure to work with. She was professional and fun- the kids in our wedding party loved Bia and she was able to capture amazing pictures. My fiance and I were somewhat dreading all the group photos that a wedding entails, however Laura ran this process so smoothly we actually had fun taking the photos! We were blown away with the end results. The photos came out absolutely beautiful. Laura captured all the feelings of our special day in every one of her photos. We also received SO many photographs- quite impressive considering I barely even noticed Laura taking pictures while I was so wrapped up in the day. I have zero complaints and only wonderful things to say about Laura. I sincerely hope to work with her again one day!

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I looked forward to every Tuesday night when my friends and I would gather at Brother Jimmy’s Murray Hill to watch The Barnstorm and dance until we couldn’t feel our feet. I knew in 2017 that one day I would get married and I wanted to recreate this wonderful feeling that I would get every Tuesday night. WELL, joke’s on me because I got that feeling and more. I do not even have words for the atmosphere that The Barnstorm created on our wedding day. Leading up to that day, Brooks was INCREDIBLY attentive to the hundreds of questions that I bombarded him with on a daily basis. He walked me through pricing, how the first dances would go, what kind of music gets played during dinner – every question came with an immediate follow up and a “how are you doing?” – completely above and beyond what a typical wedding band would provide. And that was before our wedding day even happened! The day of was indescribable. The atmosphere provided by The Barnstorm was absolutely electric and had every single person on the dance floor from 8 pm to 1130 pm. I genuinely feel like our wedding was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The band is absolutely magnetic. To top it off about one week after our wedding, as we were reliving the day, I get a text message from a friend saying “we booked your wedding band!”. They are THAT freaking good. If you want to have the best night of your entire life PLEASE look no further than The Barnstorm.

If you truly care about having a beautiful film with gorgeous cinematography, we will be a match made in heaven.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anthony is outstanding. What he creates is beyond anything you could have ever imagined. 100000% would recommend him time and time again. He is attentive and quick to respond to you. His attention to detail is beyond words. He was able to capture moments that my photographer could not. Honestly, I screen shotted some of his still frames from the teaser and sent those out to family. Where do I even start with the teaser, the highlight film, and feature film. I feel like no words can really do it justice to describe what he created. It's one thing to showcase the important moments of your wedding, but to do it in a way that you (as the bride) are jealous of the bride and groom in the video, that's crazy. I was jealous of my own wedding. Like he made us look famous... how the heck! Its wild. He also chose and edited the film in a way that was so unique compared to the other wedding films that he had created. It was perfect. I kept asking him, "how did you pick that song? how did you know that song encompassed our vibe?" He said the song was perfect for the atmosphere, he took the essence of the day and the vibe and energy from everyone and showcased it the best he could, as much he could, in that short 1 min teaser. Literally I was floored. I don't know how he captured so many intimate moments, it was like he was a ninja with the camera. And I don't know if you are self-conscious and anxious like me, but having a videographer that you are comfortable with, is everything. He hyped us up, made us feel confident, all while not being too in your face. Anthony is the best, his artwork will floor you, and he truly is the best investment of your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

John is incredible. We were on the fence about having a videographer or not. I came across his info on a Facebook wedding group and decided to check out his work. After reviewing his website, I decided to reach out to him about his rates and some questions I had. We ended up doing his 6 hour package, and also customized it so we could get all of our raw footage. His pricing is extremely fair and we loved being able to get a highlight video and the raw footage with our first choice package. Hiring John for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our highlight video is absolutely amazing. It shows our story and our relationship perfectly. He incorporated exactly what we asked him to. Our family and friends love the highlight video he created for us, too. Not only do we love it, but he delivered it just six business days after our wedding!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Pretty Posh Events for our wedding, and I can confidently say that their talent with color is truly unmatched. From the moment I told her about my color scheme, she was able to understand exactly what vibe we wanted and translated it into a stunning visual experience. They took our theme and colors and seamlessly blended them into every detail, from the florals to the table settings, lighting, and even the fabric drapes. The colors complemented each other perfectly, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere without ever feeling overwhelming. The way they used different shades of yellow throughout the venue brought depth and sophistication, while soft accents of blue provided balance and elegance.

My experience with Ashley for my wedding day was nothing short of perfect. Not only was Ashley, welcoming of pictures I showed her of what I wanted, but she re-created them in a way that was perfectly suited for my hair type. I have thick, coarse, and loosely curly hair, and Ashley managed it perfectly for the style I wanted. It stayed put all day! Ashley was fun to talk to through the whole process, and she made me feel comfortable. She is calm, joyful, and informed on the latest trends and products. It was wonderful having Ashley as addition to our special day. She was prompt and prepared. Highly recommend!

Using Rich was one of the best wedding decisions we made. We really liked his style and ended up feeling very comfortable with him during our first phone conversation so we decided to go with him. From the very initial calls, to the engagement shoot and eventually to the wedding, Rich was super thorough, helpful, encouraging and informative. He was able to be so helpful and guided us while also perfectly incorporating our preferences and discussions. When the wedding day came, he was so calm and really relived us of any anxiety and stress and he led us and our party through the day. He made everyone feel so comfortable and it really showed in the shots. The second photographer he brought, Greg, was also just the best and made us all feel so comfortable throughout the day. We thank you so much Rich for all you did for us and for making this whole experience super positive! The final pictures came out better than we could have ever expected and encourage anyone considering using Ciro photography to do so, you really won’t regret it.

Hello, and welcome! Nick here, and I first wanted to stay thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and I look forward to the opportunity to capture your wedding day! My approach to your wedding day coverage is more of a documentation of genuine moments between you, your partner, friends, and family. Specializing in a photojournalistic style, I'm on the hunt for those natural smiles, tears of joy, and most importantly, finding you and your partner lost in the moment. I also strive for a clean and timeless look, focusing on composition, and I'm not afraid to give direction when needed.

Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.

Her ability to make the travel aspect of a wedding feel effortless is truly remarkable.

WE LOVED STANLEY AND HIS ASSISTANT ALLIE! Once we saw their work we fell in love and thought we HAVE to book him. It was definitely one of the higher things in the budget, but I don’t regret it one bit. I loved Stanley’s packages because they are fairly simple with lots of add ons that we were able to choose. On our special day they were able to capture every single important moment. We got our teaser trailer back THE NEXT DAY after the wedding! I was just in shock and super emotional watching it barely having any sleep the day after! Not only is the work beautiful but their service is exceptional. I wish I could recommend them to literally everyone!

My passion for photography stems from a deeply personal experience. What began as a senior thesis project alongside my beloved Grandmother quickly evolved into a profound journey of documenting precious moments. Today, I cherish those photographs as windows to the past, allowing me to relive poignant memories. I hope my clients can also find solace and joy in their own photographs, whether in times of loss, reminiscing about loved ones, or celebrating life's special events.

Megan captured our wedding day this past May, and the year prior - also did our engagement shoot. I had high hopes for beautiful sunset photos for our engagement shoot, but of course it ended up being a cloudy day. I didn’t want to reschedule, but no biggie for Megan. She worked her magic and created a mock sunset shoot for us with her lightening. Fast forward to our wedding day. She dealt with our goofy groomsmen, the chaos of having my dogs, a surprise appearance that pushed cocktail hour a half an hour later than expected, day-of changes in shoot locations due to a rainy morning. But through it all, she maintained a go with the flow attitude that kept me level headed all day. Never once did I worry if she capturing what I wanted, or if my photos would turn out okay. I had previews the next day and my whole album is just about a month. I cannot describe how thankful I am for how beautifully she captured the day. My pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined, and she clearly heard my request to capture as much as could of our guests while still capturing me and Noah. Cannot say enough good things about her!

Hi! My name is Nick. I fell in love with photography as a child through my love for music; I was obsessed with album covers and photos that would draw my eye and immediately tell me a story. I have a passion for art and my way of expressing it has always been through music and photography. I love hanging out with my friends and being social. Going out to dinner, having drinks, and spending time with my family are a few of my favorite things.

I’ve worked with Nick on multiple occasions and he is one of the most gifted photographers I know. There are very few photographers that I will recommend on a regular basis and Nick is at the top of the list. He has an incredible vision for capturing amazing photos and his editing style is in elite company. I’m always impressed and inspired when I see his finished work. On top everything else, he is very easy to get along with and always a complete professional. Nick is everything you could ask for in a photographer and more.

We were extremely lucky to find this company and forever grateful to them. They made me feel amazing and our pictures and video were just incredible. I am a perfectionist and sometimes a bit much but they were so patient and kind. They were in constant communication with me and even let me know what to expect the day of. I received proofs fairly quickly (but can't remember how long though) and literally had 100s of pictures. I honestly had no cares at all. If you need a wedding photographer/videographer this is the company to choose. I have been to many weddings where the photographers forget about taking pictures with the guests and just focus on the wedding party. Blissfullstills made sure I got pictures with EVERYONE which meant the world to me. Oh and they had a drone that captured so many moments that would have been missed otherwise!!

FM3 Entertainment is a boutique entertainment company focused on music that our clients want to hear at their wedding. Each and every event is treated as unique as our couples choose it to be. We work with each couple determine their "musical personas" in order to put together a Soundtrack for their special day.

I cannot recommend FM3 Entertainment enough. Steve and Frank are phenomenal. Our wedding was in Stone Harbor, NJ but our families and friends are from New York to the suburbs of Philadelphia and we needed a company that would keep the party going for everyone from 20-90 years ago, and they did just that! They are an experienced duo that had great recommendations and asked us questions that you may not think of during the planning stages. They listened to all of our song requests as well as, more importantly, our do-not play list. When hiring a DJ you don't always think of how the company you choose will also be the MC or "host" of the night. Steve added special touches throughout his announcements while sticking to the flow of the night AND keeping the party going! The dance floor was packed all night and I continue to receive rave reviews from friends and family on how great the music was at our wedding. I recommend FM3 Entertainment for all your event needs!

With an event as sentimental, emotional, and intimate as a wedding, we knew we wanted to book with him.

He is so gracious and went above and beyond to make everything perfect for our day and beyond!
