Susan Shek Photo + Video

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lakewood, NJ

With nearly two decades of experience capturing weddings, I've honed my craft into an art form. As a lifelong New Yorker, the city is my canvas. I’m not just a photographer; I’m your insider, offering expert recommendations to make your special day truly unforgettable. My passion for preserving love stories is the driving force behind every image I create.

When you book Susan, you book an entire team. I was so confident the whole night that photos were completely handled because Susan's team was ON TOP of it. Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with. Susan was very patient and kind with me too whenever we did pre-wedding calls and I was an utter mess trying to plan everything.

When I went to college I knew I wanted to have a career that allowed me to work with people and so I studied Social Work and Psychology! Photography was a hobby but when my friend found her self with no photographer days before her wedding, she asked if I could shoot her day and from the first wedding I was hooked! 11 years later and I think I have the best job on the planet. I have been married to the love of my life Jordan for 6 years now and she is the extra magic in Swiger Photography. We have a lil rescue pup named Furgie and spend our free time trying new bourbons and exploring Philadelphia!

My wife and I got married in 2018 and had an amazing experience using Swiger Photography! She shot both our engagement pictures and our wedding and all the photos are incredible! Amanda and her wife Jordan are kind and professional as well as having the rare talent of putting people at ease. I will treasure the photos for the rest of my life and can’t thank Amanda enough.

Hey there, I'm Joy! Years from now when you look at your wedding photographs, I want all of the memories and emotions to come flooding back: the joy, the love, and the laughter.

Just a little bit weird. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie, and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Richel on the Zola app. I liked her vibe and porfolio. We had to postpone our engagement pictures a few times sue to Covid and the holidays but she did not disappoint once we were able to get together. Richel is very responsive to emails and texts, she was prompt and a joy to be around. I only have sneak peeks from our wedding but I am confident all of the pictures will be beautiful. If you're a fan of light and airy photos you would be crazy not to hire Richel.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most crucial decisions for our big day, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. From the moment we met Hannah, her genuine passion for photography and capturing special moments was evident. She not not only understood our vision but enhanced it with her (and AMAZING Micah’s) creativity and expertise. On the day of the wedding, they were not just photographers but integral parts of our celebration. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, putting everyone at ease and getting genuine smiles and emotions from us and our guests. They seamlessly blended into the background during intimate moments yet took charge (literally Hannah and Micah showed me what to do for a Pinterest inspo pic I sent her) when needed to ensure every important detail was captured beautifully. They let us shine and feel so beyond comfortable and natural, as we are not people that like the camera outside of the wedding! Their talent truly shone through in the final photos. They captured not only the significant moments but also the small, fleeting details that we might have missed in the whirlwind of the day. Looking through the photos brought back all the emotions and memories, making us feel like we were reliving the day itself. I swear I look at them everyday! We cannot recommend our Hillside Film and Photo highly enough. They are not just talented professionals but also genuinely wonderful people who made our wedding day even more special. If you're looking for someone to capture your wedding day with skill, passion, and a contagious enthusiasm, look no further. They are simply amazing! I swear I get more DMs from people asking who our photographer was so that speaks for itself!!

Herti Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Lakewood, NJ

Hi! My name is Herti. I’m originally from Albania where I first started doing photography and then moved to NY, that was about 5 years ago. It’s an incredible feeling being the one person your couple trusts with capturing moments of their life. That’s why I put a lot of thought in every wedding I shoot. I sit down with the couple before the wedding, talk to them and get to know them. So when the day of the wedding comes they know they have nothing to worry about regarding photography. I’m a strong believer on telling a story through photography and give everyone who looks at your pictures a glimpse of your love.

I don’t have enough words to explain how amazing Herti is and am so grateful we found him! I am a very camera-shy person, but Herti made me feel so comfortable being photographed and it was so much fun. Herti was our photographer for our intimate ceremony a year ago, and for our wedding celebration with family and friends this year and the pictures came out STUNNING! He’s detail oriented and takes the time to make sure he gets the perfect shot each time, but is also still very mindful of the timeline to ensure that you get to actually enjoy your wedding and be present in all the special moments. Herti is amazing at what he does and even more, he’s an incredible person and an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I have been raving about him to our friends and family and highly recommend him.

  • Serves Lakewood, NJ

I began my photography career over 15 years ago as a photographer for a Natural History Museum. There I learned to be versatile and to shoot anything from galleries, portraits, events to fossils and fieldwork. Just like the museum, weddings also call for a versatile photographer to catch great details, ceremony and reception spaces, portraits and events. But with my wedding photography, I push for more. Inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, I follow the light and seek decisive moments—emotion and reactions.

Liz photographed our wedding this spring and we’re absolutely obsessed with the photos. She captured so many sweet organic moments of our love and with our guests, and she has such a great eye for color. Our wedding was bright and colorful out in nature, and everything just pops so well in the photos while still looking really natural. Liz was so kind and helpful and easy to work with the whole time. Highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

Tom and his team did a great job of posing us (two camera shy people) as well as capturing natural moments between us. They offer a wide variety of photo/video packages and were willing to work with us to find a custom package that suited our needs. I am so thrilled to have amazing photos to look back on from our wedding day.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… wait that’s a different story :-) What seems like "lightyears" ago, 2004 was the beginning of our story, an epic tale spanning years and continents as we travel to discover the greatest story ever told…yours!

Lightyear Studios is truly a master of their craft. My one sole criteria was that I did not want a “point- and -shoot photographer” and they are definitely not that! Nathan and Thanh brings true vision to life. We used them for our engagement shoot, my bridal shower, and our wedding. The pictures have all come out beautiful, and really captured the emotion and energy of the room. My husband and I are as awkward on camera as they come. The Lightyear team eases you and helps you navigate through each picture and pose. I don’t know how they do it but I am all here for it. In addition, Their level of communication and ability to get back to your questions and concerns in a timely manner is top tier. Highly recommend!

CLY BY MATTHEW has evolved at year 2004 from fashion, portrait and still life photography to the wonderful world of wedding photography, which incorporates all three genres. We follow a non-intrusive photojournalistic style for your weddings, which our clients (and their guests) very much appreciate. We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography. If you’re here and in the middle of researching photographers, stop reading and contact CLY immediately. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

Steph photographed my husband and I’s wedding about a year ago from now. We were blown away with the results! She captured everything we requested. She had someone else there to assist as a second photographer as well. Steph worked with us within our budget, and delivered results within a timely manner. We have an online portfolio that we visit often to remind us of our beautiful day. I definitely recommend choosing her for your wedding/photography session!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

My husband and I hired Lizzie to do our engagement photos and bridal shower photos. She is really friendly, and her work comes out beautifully. I've recommended her to two other brides who also loved her work! When looking for a photographer, it was really important to me to find someone that would take timeless, natural looking photos that weren't cheesy and Lizzie delivered just that. For our engagement shoot, she thoroughly researched the location I chose (Central Park), recommending the best time for lighting and the best spots to take photos at. She delivered the photos quickly and even gave me a sneak peak the night of the shoot! For my bridal shower, she captured the most sentimental candids. The room was a little dark, but she has the right equipment with her to deliver amazing photos with perfect lighting. Aside from delivering a great final product, Lizzie is friendly and makes taking photos really comfortable. Her diligent research of the venue/location beforehand really made her work that much better. Her editing style is natural and timeless, and she was able to really capture how I was feeling at the moment.

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

I can't say enough good things about Meg. Not only was she just lovely to correspond with leading up to our engagement photos, but she did a PHENOMINAL job. She made us feel so comfortable and cute during our session, and her pictures came out AMAZING. She's the perfect photographer if you want natural, documentary style photographs that really just bring out your love and joy for each other. 10/10 would recommend!!

Kathi Littwin Photography

  • Editorial style

Kathi brings to wedding photography her artistic vision, and creates evocative images of your event. Her coverage tells the story of the day with truth, style, emotion and attention to details. Eloquent visual narratives are primarily candids, complemented by formals, still lifes, and scenics in both black & white and color.

Kathi was very professional. She talked with use beforehand about what kind of pictures we wanted and also gave us some great ideas about picture ideas we didn't think of. Her knowledge and experience really came in handy as we had a time crunch for pictures. The pictures came out beautiful and it was easy to access them digitally as well as order the prints we wanted.
