Wild Hearts NJ

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Monmouth Beach, NJ

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Wild Hearts was the best photographer you could ask for on your wedding day! Kamelia is great at communicating throughout the entire process. Ahead of the wedding day we had a comprehensive 45 min conversation before I booked her about vision. She actually helped me get a timeline set up for the day and gave me a list of other recommended vendors which I used to find my hair/makeup stylist. It was very easy because the payments were broken up over time so nothing snuck up on you. About 1 week before my fiancé and I met up with Kamelia over brunch to discuss the locations of all the shots we planned on taking, the color scheme, all family members for those photos, and to get more comfortable with each other. I really appreciated this. The day of the wedding I could ask for nothing better. Kamelia is very organized and kept the whole day running with great direction. It was easy to follow her direction to set up poses and get some candid shots. Allyson was the other photographer and really got along with the groom and the groomsmen. They knew all of the good spots around Asbury Park and the board walk to get photos. The best times that my husband and I had was when it was just us and the photographers walking around Asbury Park Boardwalk. We were all vibing having a great time and I really think that made the photos even better. They are both such lovely and professional individuals to work with and it shows. Both photographers took INCREDIBLE photos. You always want your wedding photos to turn out great but these exceeded my expectations. Every single person at my wedding has nothing but incredible things to say about the photos. I would highly recommend Wild Hearts if you are getting married in or around Asbury Park. They were beyond a pleasure to work with.

DJ Cam truly went above and beyond! As a bride who knows how to micromanage, I never felt that way with DJ Cam. He perfectly captured the music vibe my fiancé and I love and delivered an incredible performance. We wanted the music to naturally draw people to the dance floor without any emcee work, and DJ Cam nailed it with a fantastic set list. He avoided the typical "wedding-y" songs and created the party atmosphere we dreamed of. DJ Cam was super responsive via email, text, and phone, and his fun yet professional demeanor made everything smooth. He arrived early to set up and handle any potential challenges, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We felt completely at ease knowing he had everything under control. DJ Cam is not your average DJ—he's the one to deliver an unforgettable party beat!

She exceeded our expectations and our family and friends are so impressed! Jillian was so amazing to work with- I don’t love having my picture taken but she made me feel so comfortable. She had so many ideas for diverse and romantic pictures. She was also out on the dance floor all night with us (all while standing on a chair to get the best angles haha!).

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

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!

They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything. We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

If you are looking to have a wedding where your guests do not leave the dance floor the entire night - look no further because JB Pro Live is who you need!! Our DJ, Jan, absolutely exceeded all expectations we had as a DJ for our wedding day. When we met with him before the wedding, we gave him a few of our favorite songs but told him to use his discretion as what was most important to us was having everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. WELL, did he know what he was doing!!! Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE NIGHT. We had 220 guests at our wedding, and 0 of them were sitting. We have guests who didn't even know we had a photo booth or voicemail booth because they truly did not leave the dance floor one time to look around. Jan reads the room perfectly and truly has a niche for knowing what people like to hear. Our MC Matt was also so great! He helped keep the night on track and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. He was fun, entertaining, and kept the vibes going! We have had 10 guests ask for our DJs information so they can book him for their own wedding because he really was just that good. After just the first dance set alone, our guests were excited and ready to party because he set the tone perfectly! We also booked a saxophonist through JPBRO as well as a dry ice machine, indoor firework fountains, and the snow effect and they were all perfect! The snow was by far the best addition! It was practically real snow (way better than what we were expecting) and all of our guests went crazy over it! The saxophonist was also a great touch and played practically every song throughout the night which our guests loved! And of course the dry ice machine and indoor firework fountains looked so great in our wedding pictures! Request Jan as your DJ- he is worth every penny and you will not regret it!!! He is absolutely a pro at what he does and you can guarantee that with him, not only will you have the best night of your life, but your guests will as well!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

We searched for a DJ in our area that would listen to our requests for music to get everyone who attended to get up and dance and join the celebration. Alex did not disappoint and was an outstanding DJ. His price for the event was also very reasonable. We spoke to him several times to seek ideas for the celebration songs to play and when to play them. He had a user-friendly website where you can put in the top 50 songs you wanted to play as well as additional songs if there was time. I sang to my wife at our wedding 50 years ago and wanted to surprise her at the party and do the same. I called Alex and asked him if he could set up and find the background instrumentals to “Have I told you Lately”. Minutes later he sent me a link of the instrumental via email. I practiced it once and it was perfect. My wife was definitely surprised, as well as our guests, when I sung it to her while I danced with my her. It was a special moment during our celebration and Alex helped make it happen. Received a lot of complimentary comments about Alex from our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your next celebration! Thanks Alex!!

You are doing something wrong if you are not hiring Alex as your day of coordinator for your wedding!!! "Day Of" doesn't even really describe all that Alex did for my wedding as she came into the picture long before the actual day and helped me get all the nitty gritty details of our wedding figured out. She took care of EVERYTHING at our wedding and was the go-to person for vendors, our venue, and all of my family! I was relaxed knowing that everything was being taken care of and it allowed for both me and my now husband to be fully present and enjoy the day. Alex went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend!!
