South Street Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

I found photography in my teens.  Photography became a hobby quickly and eventually my profession.   Lauren, my second photographer, and I have over 1000 weddings behind us.   I don't know what I would do if I wasn't a photographer.  I think I have developer fluid, or these days, ink in my veins. I am a family man, a parent, and a grandparent.  We have 2 dachshunds.  Ruby and Harley. AND I Love my Job!

Awarded Best of Zola
We met John and Lauren at a wedding expo and didn't even bother looking elsewhere. They have extensive knowledge regarding the use of lighting and creative angles and demonstrate that greatly in their photography. In addition to awesome pictures (for both our engagement and wedding photos), John and Lauren are truly wonderful to work with. My husband and I are not picture people and were very nervous about participating in photoshoots, but they put as at ease immediately and made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I highly recommend South Street to anyone looking to capture their special moments with amazing photos and have a good time while doing it.

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace and was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! Grace was very thorough and communicated with everyone from venue staff to the DJ to choreograph and capture everything. I fell in love with Grace's whimsical and wispy style of photography - she made sure to include everyone in the shots. Grace was punctual and went straight to capturing our final moments of getting ready, and she gave us time to socialize and enjoy our guests. I loved her creativity and willingness to take unique shots. I would definitely recommend her for any couple's day!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got very lucky finding Mary as our photographer. She was our photographer for our engagement party, engagement photos, and the wedding day. She always made time to talk and keep an open line of communication! She was great at making us feel comfortable and giving directions (which we definitely needed). Mary is also extremely thoughtful and I really appreciate the little things she had done to make everything as perfect as possible!

She was very responsive and thorough in her communication with us leading up to the big day, answering all of our questions in detail. On the wedding day itself, Madison was fast and efficient at taking photos, while still making sure to capture all the special moments. She gave clear directions for posing and navigating the family dynamics and crowds with ease. The photos Madison delivered were beautiful - bright, crisp images that perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. She was able to edit and deliver the final wedding photos very quickly.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress. The day was a whirlwind but Lindsay and Nathan made it so easy! I would hire them a million times over!

I've always been relationship driven. It's our connections with those close to us that makes our life's experience that much richer. It's no surprise that my clients naturally become a part of my family. There is no other industry in which I believe I am better suited. We are a good fit if you are looking for a fresh, enthusiastic, seasoned professional who will put you at ease, make you laugh, and spend quality time with you before, during, and after your wedding day. Getting to know each other on a personal level allows us to foster a bond that enables me to capture and deliver stunning images you'll cherish for the rest of your life.

There are not enough good words I can say about this man! Daniel was more than just our photographer, he was a mentor for the entire process (and I mean for the wedding as well!), he coordinated before and on the day for best locations to shoot and was truly invested in the day. It was seamless and not intrusive to the activities on the day, he even wore a kilt! (it was a Scottish wedding). 5 stars since I can't give 10!!

I look at photography as a window into some of the most important moments in the lives of my clients. I love life and consider myself blessed to capture memories and the celebrations of milestones. I live for the moments when I capture the glow of a mom to be, the innocence of newborns, the first time a groom sees his bride to be or the moment when grandma decided to lay it all out on the dance floor.

I booked with Aida Malik photography on few occasions, for my maternity pictures, baby pictures and Christmas pictures. In all the occasions she was always nice and professional. She made us feel at ease and made us enjoy the whole process. She is the best and would recommend her to anyone.

Spend your day having fun, not posing for photos. My approach is to focus on capturing what's really happening, so you can focus on making memories and I can deliver effortless, natural looking photos.

On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

I’m so happy you are here!! I started my business 5 years ago, and photographing weddings has forever been my dream. I’ve always loved weddings and this industry because of what it means. Weddings are full of beautiful moments, family, happy tears and so much love. You can find me crying right alongside you, sharing this moment with you through parent dances and speeches. I love the chaos and joy of a wedding day and the importance of capturing those moments is never missed on me.

Mario Oliveto Photography is genuine and heavily focused on real emotions, always believing that everyone has a story. Our photography makes you feel as if you were connected with those in front of the camera. Wedding photography is capturing real, raw, emotions, in the most beautiful fine art style.

We had nothing but positive experiences with Mario from engagement shoot to the big day! We used Mario for our engagement shoot in Philly about a year before our wedding. We were really unsure of locations and he had great suggestions that he ran by us and offered ideas ahead of time and during the shoot, he helped adjust as we looked at the lighting and space. We both expressed how unsure we were about taking professional pictures since this was a first for us and were not comfortable with a lot of the trendy shots and he really worked with us to make all the poses feel natural to us while still looking phenomenal. We decided to go with his associates for the big day based on our budget and they did not let down. Mario specifically picked two photographers who were familiar with our venue and had great suggestions for where to get the best shots. Our two associates, Rachel & Alyssa, were helpful, kind, fun, professional and absolute champs to get all the best pictures on our day. We had 100 degree temps and they worked so hard to make sure we were comfortable the entire time while not sacrificing the pictures we had planned for. They checked in with us often and were not afraid to tell our family that the group pictures were done so that we could actually enjoy cocktail hour (after confirming with us that is was what we wanted). They also took adorable couples pictures of our guests during lulls in the dinner service that my family and friends were beyond excited for. Mario and his associates are an absolute recommendation in my book and I can not say enough nice things about working with them!

I'm an empathetic person. I'm sensitive and in tune with the more spiritual side of life. I love travel and photography. I am a mother and a lover of fashion and nature and all things beauty. Coffee is basically my favorite and what makes me hop out of bed (even on Monday morning). I have a lot of energy and I love fitness and eating healthy. I love my girlfriends and have deep relationships but only with a handful of women who I trust. Loyalty is important to me and I believe in doing all things with love.

You will not be disappointed! We worked with Denise for both our engagement and wedding photos and they were nothing short of gorgeous. Denise is a consummate professional and her expertise was evident throughout the entire shoot. Prior to our wedding she asked us a bunch of questions to set expectations and created a game-plan for our big day. On our wedding day Denise and Lexi (the second shooter) were able to get all the right shots while keeping everyone on schedule and in good spirits! Lexi and Denise divided and conquered, Lexi working with the groom's party and Denise the brides'. I can't recommend this duo more highly! The 'sneak peek' batch of photos was delivered very quickly and Denise was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Photography is the part of the wedding that will last far beyond the actual wedding day and Denise was worth every penny!

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.
