Zeny Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Forked River, NJ

Hi, my name is Al Guzman and I would like to congratulate you on your engagement. I am the owner of Zeny Photography and I have been photographing weddings for the past 9 years. My style of photography is a mix of journalistic for most of the day and classic/fashion for the portrait session. When looking back on your wedding day we want you to relive those special moments through photographs, the happiness, love and fun had with family and friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
The complete package! From the moment we started to work with Al and his team we knew we were in good hands. He started with a questionnaire that asked questions we didn't even think of as far as photography was concerned. On the day of our wedding he was right there for all of the important shots, but also out of the way so he was not intruding on the moments. When the photos were presented we had the hardest time deciding what to keep for the album since ALL of the photos were truly amazing! The album is something we will treasure forever. In addition to the album we received a memory stick with all of the photos, two small albums, and thank you cards.

Flare Hill Productions

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Forked River, NJ

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm a photographer and I don't bundle video, so I make referrals. Flare Hill Productions is at the top of my preferred vendors list. I've worked side by side with Jeff on many occasions and know the quality of Jeff's work from another creative's perspective. I'm also fairly familiar with his packages. Jeff makes a full length video of the ceremony and speeches using multiple camera angles as well as a highlight video. He calls this "RAW footage". (Keep that term in mind). So if you are interested in full length videos for ceremony and speeches I think he is worth a serious look. Many other videographer packages say "RAW footage", but this is often meant as all the unedited short (a few seconds or minute long) video clips that the videographer used to create a highlight video. Not Jeff! Ask to see one of his full ceremony and/or toast and speeches videos. They are very cinematic. He also does bloopers reels and best wishes which I can't tell you how many couples have really enjoyed these outtakes and personal messages to the couple. (Just take a moment to watch a few of his viral videos on social media! Jeff is also amazing at live streaming if you have friends and relatives that would like to watch the wedding live. I don't know any other videographer that creates as much value for his clients! If you're having a larger wedding of 150 or more guests, I would recommend getting two videographers with Jeff, although he works well alone too. To top it off, Jeff is a really cool human being! Jeff will not disappoint! There are not enough stars to properly rate him!!

Lauren was by far the best thing that happened to me on my wedding day. She not only was very professional but she was attentive and caring. I can tell that she has a passion for what she does and it shows! She captured everything that we spoke about and more! She took control of what could have been a crazy day and was able to organize everyone and get amazing shots. I can’t speak for anyone else that works for her company but Lauren is OFFICIAL!

I always love working with the crew at Sterling Ballroom at Double Tree. As a photographer, getting to see how the staff interacts with each other and vendors like me when the client isn’t looking speaks volumes about their management team and the overall vibe they bring to the table. You can tell they really care about the client’s experience and want to do their part to make everyone’s day special. That’s a rare quality.

I am a published photographer who lives within minutes of the beautiful Jersey Shore. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me chasing my two kids around while chugging my fav drink ever - the Pink Drink from Starbucks (if you’ve never had one, you’re missing out!). I love having fun during sessions and always do my best to make you comfortable all while providing a one of a kind experience! I always tell my clients - It’s okay to feel awkward at the beginning of a session, that’s NORMAL. My job is to help you relax and enjoy the experience. I promise by the end of the day you won’t even remember there’s a camera there ;)

Rebecca was such a great find for my wedding! She made it so fun and so effortless for me and my family! We laughed ALOT! It’s like having your best friend follow you around with a camera! Her work exceeds expectations! She gets all the moments that you would ever want or need and she works super efficient!

Hi I’m Kristina. I’m a wife, toddler mama, and a photographer. I’ve always had a love for photography but really took the plunge when my children came into this world. I took the time to learn the in and outs of photography while adding my own flair. I wanted nothing more then to document every second of their lives without missing a single moment. Before I knew it I started to grow a following of others wanting me to document their precious moments as well. Soon after my dreams became a reality. Capturing candid moments are my absolute favorite and you’ll always find me clicking away when you’d least expect it.

Very professional and easy to work with. Beautiful quality work. Overall wonderful experience with Kristina Marie Photography.

Lily Szabo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Forked River, NJ

I never dreamed of being a wedding photographer. I thought it was all the same, you show up to a venue, photograph different couples in the same poses every weekend and after is all said and done never see them again. However one day while I was taking photographs of people I loved and cared about it clicked! I could photograph couples who I truly got along with, who just want to have a great time on their wedding day. Couples who want to be themselves. Couples who I could consider friends, not clients. I’ve built my business on this premise and enjoy it every single day.

Lily's style truly tells more of a story than traditional wedding images - you can watch the whole day unfold through them, while still capturing the ones you want to send to your relatives for the holidays. It was her style of photography that has us hooked and once we connected we immediately realized this would be an incredible partnership. She coordinated with us the weeks leading up to the wedding and arrived day-of, immediately taking charge with the most calming presence, keeping everyone at ease. She captured every moment - some I didn't even realize would have photographed beautifully. Because of her, I now have the most heartwarming image of me with my grandmother, smiling at each other - it was a split second from the day and the whole moment tells its own story. When it came time for the family photos, she took control - calling out who was up next, how and where to stand, when to take a deep breath to relax the shoulders - you name it. She was so on top of it that we simply just enjoyed the day. We also used her photobooth and had her create our wedding album -- two services we are forever happy we decided on. The Sparklebooth images are SO fun and our album is absolute perfection. She assembled the entire thing, sent a digital copy for review, and then her schedule allowed her to hand-deliver the final version -- which we are still gushing over a year later. Her personality is electrifying and we can't wait to hire her for more life events whether it's a future family shoot, pet adoption, new home, a Tuesday -- anything. You'd be lucky to have her shoot your special day.

Natali and her team of hairstylists focus on personalizing every style, from glamorous updos to romantic waves, specifically for you. Essentially, our goal is to leave you with an experience you can look back on and feel beautiful for a lifetime.

I had met Natali at a styled shoot a few months before my engagement pictures and loved the way she did my hair. The style lasted all day despite the heat, humidity, and me sweating like crazy! I knew I needed to hire her for my engagement shoot hair. Prior to the shoot, she had a coffee date where she discussed my expectations and her recommendations. She picked out my hair extensions, ordered them, and treated them prior to my shoot. My hair came out perfectly! It was a windy day on the boardwalk and my hair was getting blown around like crazy, yet looked amazing in every shot. I received so many compliments on my hair once my family and friends saw the pictures. More than anything, Natali makes you feel like you are an old friend that just happens to be having their hair done. She goes above and beyond in all aspects of her business and makes you feel like the upmost priority. I highly, highly recommend!!

I help brides create a look that captures their personal style and makes them feel like the most polished version of themselves. Because there's nothing more beautiful than a confident bride smiling from ear to ear just before they say, "I do."

Working with Jackie was exactly what I needed for our wedding day. Her communication style was direct, funny, and calming - exactly what a nervous bride needs! The quality of her work was exacting, excellent, and absolute perfection. Jackie was always available for touch-ups and discreetly in the background making sure my hair looked flawless for every photo, even when I was on the dance floor all night. She also was able to understand my style and knew that I wanted a lived in look that was natural and not overdone and she delivered on every note. I can't recommend Brides by Jackie Fanara enough - Jackie truly helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. My photos are what I remember most and the hair is absolute perfection.

We pledge to ensure that our commitment to inclusivity and diversity is a priority in all that we do, as we believe all forms of love deserve to be celebrated.

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

  • Starts at $15,000

There is just something special about celebrating your wedding or special occasion lakeside, amidst 86-manicured acres of natural landscape. Windows on the Water is a private resort set in the midst of horse country in Millstone Township, Monmouth County. Beyond the natural landscape, we offer an impressive array of contemporary cuisine selections and polished service staff ― all carefully managed by our senior wedding planners. We guide you through every aspect of planning ─ from creating spectacular menus to seating recommendations and floral arrangement placement. We are with you every step of the way to ensure the success of your wedding or special event from beginning to end and beyond. Windows on the Water at Frogbridge recently received a complete top-to-bottom interior and exterior redesign and renovation, including a separate his and hers bridal suite.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Windows on the Water at Frogbridge last month (May of 2024) and the team went above and beyond at the wedding. We wanted somewhere with natural beauty rather than somewhere over the top(with both indoor and outdoor spaces), lots of trees for shade, and great service and food. In August 2023, I met with Jim with my future sister in law whose kids go to the summer camp (a very fancy one lol) who gave me a tour of the Frogbridge grounds and I immediately fell in love and knew that it was the place for us. When I reached out a few days later to discuss dates and tour with my husband, they told me the space would be ours for the entire day which is so unlike many venues that have multiple weddings in one day. Also, all pricing is visible online so there were no surprises there. Another thing that made this choice more affordable was we were able to work with a local vendor for alcohol. The vendor returned all unopened cans/bottles after our wedding so we were only charged for what was used. In the winter we did a tasting which we could bring 4 more guests to. This was the only thing we were hesitant about because we booked before tasting the food. The experience was super easy and fun- we were able to taste most of the menu offerings and make our selections with our friends. We’re so happy we took a chance because the food, especially the day of the wedding, was amazing! On our wedding day, WOTW Coordinator, Colleen, made everything so easy- from making sure staff was at our beck and call (my wedding party and immediate family were seriously blown away), making sure our decor was perfect, and organizing on the fly when it was officially raining for the whole day (we weren’t even disappointed when Colleen reassured us and proved to us that everything would be perfect). She was awesome and we loved working with her! not only did the staff cater to us, the bride and groom - but they really made everyone in our wedding party, our families, and friends feel like they were receiving the best service. Our friends and family raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was. They loved sitting in the tent looking at the beautiful lake. We highly recommend this venue!

Red Bank Studio was founded in 2017 with one goal. To create unique, elegant and timeless memories for our couples. We look in meeting couples that love to be goofy , laugh and be present on their amazing day that is their Wedding Day. Our style of photography is all about you. We want to make sure we capture all the giggles, all the laughs, all the tears and even those goofy moments on the dancefloor. At the end of the day, we want to make sure you look back at your wedding day pictures and videos and relieve every single moment same like when it happened.

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

Forever North Photography is a premium wedding photography studio in New Jersey that specializes in capturing genuine and candid moments for couples. We offer custom photography packages and a range of additional services, with a focus on always providing a stress-free experience. Our style is timeless and natural, capturing real moments that tell the story of the wedding day.

We worked with Tommy of Forever North for our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we can’t say enough good things about our experience with him! From the beginning, we were won over by Tommy’s friendly and positive attitude. Even before booking, he took the time to get to know us and that relationship made every step in our wedding planning process easier and more fun. On an absolutely frigid day last January, we had a blast at our engagement shoot and the shots were phenomenal! We knew we were in for a treat on our wedding day, and Tommy delivered in spades. His positive presence kept the mood light while we set up shot after shot, which made a long process much more enjoyable for our families and wedding party. They were singing his praises all day! He even finished our shot list ahead of schedule. We received the photos quickly, and we can say they are absolutely gorgeous. He has given us the ultimate keepsakes from our very happiest day, and we are so grateful.

I believe there is beauty in everything. From magnificent sunsets, to even something as small as a cell. I guess capturing beauty is what really drew me to photography. The opportunity to freeze a moment in time, the little (and big), BEAUTIFUL moments... and be able to come back to them by just looking at a picture... It's truly amazing when you think about it... I enjoy photography, art, cooking, music, and the outdoors (when it's warm). But most of all, I love spending time with my Creator. I'm just running the race to my final destination.

Sophie and Yelena are the absolute best duo you could possibly hire for your wedding day. Not only is the product absolutely stunning (and I only have highlights so far!), but they emcee your wedding day in the most productive, professional way. Yelena and Sophie became family members within the first hour of the day. They kept the entire day running smoothly, made us feel so comfortable and loved, and took such care and time with our family and friends. We have two very young kids, and they were PHENOMENAL with them. They worked perfectly with other vendors, with our coordination team, and venue. They knew who our most important guests were, and truly, never left my side the whole night to make sure every moment was captured. I truly felt they were apart of our family. I cannot express how wonderful our experience has been from engagement shoot through to the last moments of our wedding day. If you are hiring a photographer for your wedding, or for any reason, look NO FURTHER than Sophie Gabriella Photography. You will be blown away.

The Reeds At Shelter Haven 

5.0

Stone Harbor, NJ
  • Venue
  • Starts at $1,000

The Reeds' casual elegance and coastal chic design combine in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings to create a backdrop that is truly one-of-a-kind. Designed by a team of wedding professionals, The Reeds offers the most exclusive seaside wedding destination at the southern New Jersey shore.

From our initial site visit until we said goodbye to The Reeds team a few days after our wedding, everything was simply wonderful. Liz was so welcoming at our walk-through and she showed us all of the various spaces we could utilize for our wedding and wedding weekend events. The menus and pricing provided were clear and easy to understand. I loved The Reeds before even touring, but once we were able to really see the spaces in person, I knew this was the place for our wedding. We wanted a place where we could do everything on-site and get a chance to spend the whole weekend with our guests in one location and this was definitely the spot for us! Once we booked, Liz was always available to answer any questions as they came up. As we got closer to our wedding date, we were connected with the person who would be our main contact for the detailed planning and on the day of our wedding, Ceandra. Ceandra was so sweet and easy to work with the entire time. Ceandra and Liz both attended our details meeting and we were able to discuss all of our plans, decide on our menu, ask questions, and plan for the big day. We did things a bit out of order because of our schedules and attended the tasting after the planning meeting, but that did not stop us from enjoying everything that was offered. The tasting had such a wide variety of the menu options and allowed us to get a sense of the quality of food and beverages offered. It was just amazing how much food was offered and how good everything was!! It also allowed us to see the wedding team in action. Following the tasting, the time to the wedding moved pretty quickly for us and Ceandra was in contact as often as needed and helped with all of the final details. I cannot even begin to explain how perfect our wedding weekend was. Ceandra and every team member at The Reeds made sure that everything went smoothly and according to plan during our entire stay. We met Ceandra for our drop off and did a final review of all the plans for the day. The next day, we had our rehearsal on-site, followed by our Rehearsal Dinner on the Roof Garden. The morning of the wedding, we used our space in the Skye Suite (which was SPECTACULAR) for getting hair and make-up done. We utilized various spaces on-site for our first look, bridal party, and family photos and even took a quick trip to the beach in one of their golf carts for beach photos. The outdoor ceremony site at The Reeds provided a gorgeous backdrop of our wedding ceremony and then from there, we partied all night long! The cocktail our on the patio allowed so much space for guests to mingle and enjoy time together, and the views could not be beat. Once the reception began, everything stayed on track with the timeline and the team continued to check in with us as the evening progressed. Throughout the entire evening, guests were coming up to us telling us this was the best wedding they had ever attended!! I'm still hearing from family and friends that the bartenders and wait staff were the best they had ever encountered at a weeding. We did not want the wedding to end and were thankful that we planned the After Party at the Crew Room in the Stone Harbor Pizza Pub. It was the perfect way to keep the party going and spend more time with our guests. For our final event, we were back to the Roof Garden for the post-wedding breakfast and everyone had a chance to relive the fun from the night before and say their goodbyes. Everything was perfect!!

I love hanging out with my kids, beach combing for really neat shells, cuddling with my dog who just so happens to be named Princess Fiona after the movie Shrek, and being an amazing wife to my husband while bringing joy to peoples lives through professional photography. I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to our wedding, she has made the entire experience stress-free and relaxed. Her calm and chill vibe helped keep everything low-pressure, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment of our wedding day. Jenelle is so accommodating and went above and beyond the entire day/night whether it was helping with my gown, the Groom’s boutonniere or capturing photos of us and our family in the rain. Her photography is breathtaking, capturing the emotion and romance of our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so grateful to have worked with Jenelle and cannot recommend her enough!
