I can't imagine not having Jason as he's an incredibly hardworking photographer, a true gem. From the moment we connected, it was clear that he is exceptional at what he does, and his passion for his craft shines through in every interaction. Let's talk about communication.

Seeing him dash around to get so many incredible shots in such a short time was truly remarkable!

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

When it comes to capturing the essence of our special day, we couldn't have asked for a more talented and dedicated photographer than Seth at Hyde Photography. His expertise and passion for weddings shined through every moment. From our first meeting, Hyde impressed us with their warm and professional approach. They took the time to understand our vision and what mattered most to us, ensuring that every shot reflected our love story. We knew that the wedding would be over before we knew it and that the photos would be our best memories. My wife is also an amateur photographer and she wanted to make sure the photos receive the time and attention they deserve. On our wedding day, Hyde balance perfectly between being directive and being hands-off. Seth made sure he got all the shots he needed, quickly, efficiently, with good vibes, and happy smiles from everyone. It felt seamless and at the same time we were confident that he got all the shots we knew we wanted. We received the wedding preview shots less than a week after the wedding and---no surprise--every shot is beautiful. Seth is an artist and he’s able to frame each moment, directed or candid, for the perfect shot. Our photos are a mix of fun and timeless. Thanks to Hyde for making all our wedding memories truly unforgettable. With deepest appreciation, Dan and Niña.

Dawnpoint Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Read for my true heartfelt experience with Angelica at Dawnpoint, but in short - hire her. This should be the easiest decision you make in your wedding planning journey. I came across Dawnpoint after she documented the wedding of someone I know. Those pictures felt so authentic and real. They took me right to the event and made me feel so much. I knew I needed to meet her. From my initial zoom meeting with Angelica, we hit it off. I said I wanted to get the best views in our pictures. She was on board right away. For our engagement pictures, she took us on a hike. Chris and I showed up in hiking gear with our formal wear in our packs. So did Angelica. This may seem so minuscule but for two people who had never been photographed and just wanted someone to make them feel comfortable and to capture something real, this made us trust her from the get go. Needless to say, those pictures were amazing. We even used them for our save the dates! Fast forward to our wedding day in Lake Placid on June 15, 2024. My goals were ambitious but Angelica was on board every step of the way. From creating the timeline to executing the plan the day of, it was the least stressful part of our day. What I loved most was that she listened to my vision and incorporated it in everything she did that day. I even forgot that I wanted a specific picture of my dress, but she definitely did not. When I was getting ready, she had my bridal party share personal stories of us and it was so sweet, I felt so connected to the people closest to me that day and it helped me stay grounded and present from the beginning. For our first look, we wanted to meet at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This was 40 minutes away from our venue and logistically a lot of things could go wrong. Yet, Angelica was a smiling face reassuring me that we could do it. Everything from asking for us to skip the elevator line, to clearing the space on Whiteface for Chris and I to get our moment. I was and remain truly speechless of how she actually made this happen. The pictures speak for themselves. After, we returned to our venue and without delay resumed with a first look with my dad (which I added last minute and was meeted with so much excitement from Angelica). One of my favorite parts was golden hour pictures. I take zero credit here. This was Angelica’s idea and I am so thankful. It was a truly beautiful and authentic experience to photograph the newly wed joy I felt. This is just one of so many ways in which Angelica showed that she was as present and invested in our day as we were. After receiving my sneak preview pictures, I was honestly met with so much emotion. I was brought right back to each moment and exactly how I was feeling. I am truly blown away because if anyone can get a picture to tell a thousand words, it is Angelica. She perfectly captured our day and was the single most best decision I made that day. Unsolicited feedback from my guests: “Your photographer smiled the entire night! She looked like she was having so much fun!” This was feedback I got multiple times and it goes to show much Angelica loves her job! P.S. Jake, her second shooter, was also an absolute pleasure. Together, their energy was infectious.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

I was the maid-of-honor in two weddings who had Michelle as their photographer and 4 years later I knew that I wanted her as mine. She is an amazing person to work with, extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and a super talented photographer. She listened to my special requests and accommodated my very large bridal party perfectly in photos. She also isn’t afraid to take a quick detour to capture beautiful scenic photos! My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with Michelle and Allison which is super important since the photographer is the one vendor you are with for the entire day. Hiring Michelle was the easiest decision we had to make during our wedding planning!

Kimberly Craven did a fantastic job photographing our wedding day! She was meticulous and creative, kind and fun. She managed to get all of our guests in at least one photo. She got shots of really important moments without being intrusive or distracting. She also came with a list of shots to take so we didn't have to think of everything. Some of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even think to get. She captured the joy and love of our special day from the moment we started getting ready in our hotel rooms to the moment we left our event. Most of the photos we have up in our home are from the wedding because she KILLED IT!! The pictures look wonderful, and the editing process was quick! We didn't have to wait long to start seeing our photos. We can't recommend her enough. Everyone should be so lucky to have such a wonderful photographer and person on your special day.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day.

From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Before I get started: BOOK HIM! I probably spent more time than I should have going through dozens and dozens of photographer’s websites, portfolios, reviews, etc. Photography was my number 1 priority vendor for me, and both my husband and I are so happy with our entire experience with Bryan. From the first email and meeting to the wedding day itself to the photo delivery, working with Bryan was seamless and felt like we were working with a longtime friend! The quality and artistry in Bryan’s work is phenomenal, which was a shared sentiment of our family and friends as well. Magazine worthy shots, and that is coming from a couple who is a bit camera shy! Bryan is truly a gift. I’m so glad we have pictures that capture the day so authentically beautifully, and that we will have them to look back on in the years to come! HIGHLY recommend Bryan Weber Photography

Cannot recommend Ben enough! We did our engagement pictures with Ben ahead of our wedding and they were 1000/10. He is a master at finding the perfect lighting and did the perfect mix of the more modern photos we love and the more traditional ones our parents/grandparents love. My husband and I are both terrible at posing but Ben kept us comfortable and laughing our entire wedding day and made our photos look so natural! He is hilarious and brought such positive energy the entire day - everyone in our bridal party couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Ben! Ben even gave us a few preview physical prints during our reception which was such a beautiful touch! Can’t recommend Ben enough!

PS: Personally, I’d avoid the moon but I am more than happy to photograph you anywhere on earth. :)

I had initially found him through my best friend Sam, who he had done BOTH photo and video for, and I was blown away by his amazing work. He was kind enough to do the videography for my wedding and I am so grateful that he did. Not only does he do amazing work, but he is professional, kind, pays attention to every detail, and he ended up being the life of the party at the wedding. All of my guests adored him, and he made everyone feel so comfortable. When my husband and I received our video, we were both in tears. You can really tell how much time and effort Jia put into it.

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. I deliver what is essentially a visual storybook, capturing the day’s narrative.

Chris is, simply put - the best. From our first meeting it was clear he understood exactly what we were looking for, which allowed us to go into our wedding day with full confidence and peace of mind. He came prepared that day for every possible contingency and even kept tabs with the MOH and Best Man to make sure everything was running on time, all while keeping a positive, calm, and upbeat demeanor. NOT TO MENTION he was able to capture such amazing and special moments throughout the day and evening — even when it meant wrangling some of our more rowdy guests to get the perfect shot. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out. The hardest part now is picking out our favorites to print and share because there are so many incredible photos. Could not recommend Chris highly enough — 10/10!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam as our wedding photographer, and he was one of the best vendors we hired. Our wedding was in June at Greenpoint Loft, and Adam made the day even more special. From start to finish, Adam was incredibly chill and a calming presence on our wedding day, which was exactly what we needed. In the months leading up to our wedding, Adam was extremely communicative, always quick to respond and willing to go above and beyond. He provided us with excellent recommendations for other vendors and was always happy to answer any questions we had, even those unrelated to photography. On the day of the wedding, Adam's sweetness and flexibility were evident. He made sure to accommodate our schedule and captured all the special moments throughout the day. We especially loved that he offered the option to add 35mm film, which we did, and those turned out to be some of our favorite pictures. His dedication and professionalism were truly appreciated. Additionally, Adam's turnaround times were super quick. He provided us with our first look photos within 18 hours, and we received the full album in less than a month. We highly recommend working with Adam. He made our wedding day even more memorable, and we are grateful for his outstanding service.

My husband Mario and I were looking for a photographer to shoot our simple backyard wedding. The entire event was on a tight budget, and we were having a terrible time trying to find a reasonably priced photographer who fit our needs of a shorter time slot. I contacted a few other photographers before Bridoll Photography, but no one quite fit. When I contacted Chynna, she was very responsive, professional, and flexible to accommodate our needs. I had confidence in her photography skills right away. She sent over a questionnaire and tips to help make the day run smoothly. She was on time for our event, dealt with our crazy families (who like to take control!), as well as our dogs, and she made sure we fit in as many shots as possible. We are more than happy with our wedding photos and would definitely recommend Bridoll Photography!

I'm a wife, a mom and a New Jersey wedding photographer!! I love Jesus! I really really love to travel!!! And I'm the one who always plan the vacations. My favorite food is Italian. If I had to choose between the beach or snow, you will definitely see me jumping into the water!! I have a degree in Accounting and Finance and I love to create budgets. I was born in Cuba, so my first language is Spanish, lived in Colombia for a few years and my plan is to get old in the United States.

Sarai came recommended in a wedding group I was in, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to hire her for our intimate courthouse wedding. From our very first interaction, Sarai was incredibly responsive, friendly, and collaborative in helping us plan the perfect November morning around lower Manhattan. My husband and I have varying degrees of comfort with pictures, yet she was able to capture both staged shots and joyful, candid moments that made our wedding day so memorable. Sarai took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought out our goofy, playful sides without even trying. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, delivering the best value for the incredible quality of her work. Sarai is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuinely kind and personable human being. We cannot recommend Sari Photography highly enough for any couple looking to document their wedding day with beautiful, timeless imagery.

Hi! My name is Nina, but my business goes by Film & Frond Photography! I’ve been passionate about photography for over a decade, and my love for the craft has only grown as I’ve delved into the world of film photography! I officially launched my business last October, and have shot several weddings on my own, as well as second shot numerous weddings along side other photographers. I provide timeless and artful documentary style photography services for weddings, elopements, and engagements/couples.

Where do we begin! Nina and Will at Film and Frond helped ensure our NYC elopement went perfectly to plan, and we can’t thank them both enough for everything! Our photos are incredible and we will treasure them forever as perfect keepsakes of our special day in NYC. As we were travelling to NYC from overseas (Scotland) we were nervous about the logistics and the risk of the weather changing. In our two Zoom calls prior to our trip, Nina was so reassuring and we made sure to cover all bases incase of a change in schedule or rain. On the day of the elopement, Nina and Will met us early in the morning at our hotel, and were the perfect companions for us venturing round NYC for photos before our City Hall Ceremony. They are both the sweetest, most authentic people and there was zero awkwardness. Both my husband and I were a little nervous about being in the front of the camera, but with Nina’s help we forgot we were being photographed at all and simply enjoyed the day. We love the photos which have been delivered, such a beautiful variety of shots in Dumbo, at Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall and in Soho. Opening our full gallery was like being back in New York, and took us right back to the magic of the day. Nina and Will, we cannot thank you enough not only for your insane photography skills but for being such fantastic people to spend our elopement with! You helped make the day what it was and we are forever grateful you’ve helped preserve our memories so beautifully. We cannot recommend Film and Frond highly enough!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Jason came recommended to us from a few people who responded to a Facebook post I made in one of our local groups. We are so, so glad we decided to go with him! We had a very small wedding at our house and hired Jason to come do just an hour-long shoot (for a very reasonable price) so we could have a handful of formal shots and a few of our ceremony. He arrived right on time and ready to go. He was super friendly, laid back and professional and actually made us both feel at ease (which is tough because I hate being in front of a camera!) Even though it's the height of wedding season, he had a few preview photos for us to see within three or four days and the rest of the photos were ready for us within about two weeks? Just an amazing turn-around time. And although I'm burying the lede here, the photos were outstanding. I didn't expect very much from just an hour-long shoot, but we had so many "favorites" we really had a tough time picking which ones we wanted to have printed! We wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for a wedding photographer!

My passion is to highlight, document and capture that story artfully. My commitment is to deliver the highest quality images while not compromising the importance of your day, always mindful that this is your day and your moment.

At the end of the day, I’m just a guy that loves weddings. Both photographing them and going to one as a guest. The joy, the laughter, the butterflies in stomach. The tears. The celebration. Oh yes, the food. I believe the focal point of a good wedding photography is at the literal and creative portrayal of the emotions between the couple as well as their loved ones. My sincere hope as a wedding photographer is that one day you and your loved ones will look at the images that I created and be reminded of the amazing gratitude you feel for each other.

Wow. This woman is not only a great photographer but an all-around great person. Just my upfront vibes from her made me feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. She gave us a suggestion of a location and she really helped us out when it came to different poses that would work and different photo ops. I was so excited when I got the engagement photos back and when she arrived at my wedding venue the day of the wedding I knew that I could trust her to capture our wedding beautifully. I got some sneak peaks and I am in love. I cannot wait to get the rest of the photos. I would hands-down recommend her as a photographer to anyone! I found her on this app and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wedding.

On wedding days, I want my couples to know that I'm there to capture more than just portraits in the perfect golden hour lighting. Photos should bring you back to the day they were taken, the same way that souvenirs bring you back to a trip or country that you absolutely loved. To me, being a wedding photographer means more than just taking photos at a party. It's about taking the right photos that will have the right impact; the ones that will transport you through movement, colors, and vantage points right back into that incredible day. That's why "more than just portraits" is the best way to summarize what I photograph on wedding days.

We chose Olivia as our wedding photographer based on seeing some samples of her work and her glowing reviews. We definitely made the right choice and have no regrets. Olivia is extremely skilled and delivered beautiful photos, but what makes her stand out is her friendliness, ability to make you comfortable, and her flexibility. You can tell she really cares and wants you to have the best day, instead of just trying to get the shots to send them off to you and be gone. We highly recommend Olivia!

Hey, I'm Jaimee with two "E"s. I'm a New Jersey based Lifestyle Portrait and Wedding Photographer. I'm also a wife, new mom, and mediocre latte artist. Entertaining family and friends in my home is one of my favorite things to do. The more the merrier. Come over and I'll make you a latte. I promise. When I'm not working you can usually find me with my hair in a bun and a cute baby on my hip, or cuddling on the couch with my husband in our matching robes with our dogs watching a good crime series.

Jaimee was awesome to work with. She was friendly, warm, and most of all amazing at what she does! We found Jaimee through Instagram and felt her style was exactly what we wanted. It was clean, straight forward, and really captured the moment the people she was photographing were in. When we first did our engagement shoot was the first time we met Jaimee in person, she was personable, relaxed, and didn’t rush us. We were able to do an outfit change (in the woods while Jaimee shielded us with a blanket lol) and she had some great ideas. For two people who had never done professional photos, Jaimee made it really easy to be ourselves. We also shared aPinterest board in order to share ideas prior to the session which was helpful to get a sense of where we were all at. We continued meeting with Jaimee to lock down details for the wedding. She has us fill out a questionnaire with all the important information so she had it all in one place. She kept a schedule and frequently checked in throughout the planning process to ensure we were all still on the same page. She was even a good sport towards the big day when we asked her to meet and talk with us a few times. The second shooter she got for the big day was great as well and was similar in style to Jaimee. Jaimee even set up a video call for us all to meet so we didn’t feel like strangers the day of. Jaimee worked well with our vendors and ensured everything that needed to be captured was. We didn’t even notice them much throughout the whole evening which meant they fit right in, weren’t intrusive, and still got all the shots we wanted. Jaimee truly listened to what we wanted all while doing a great job wrangling together all the people we wanted photos with. Can’t wait to use Jaimee again for various occasions in the future :)

Passionate about customer service. The quality of work speaks for itself. We've maintained a perfect 5 star rating for over 16 years in the business. See what everyone is saying for yourself. Pricing, reviews and portfolios can be found on the website. Photo, video and photo-booth services.

I found Jason at a wedding expo and I instantly loved his work. He was super nice and we stayed in touch until I was ready to book. He was super helpful and responded to any questions I had very quickly and professionally. You can tell that he takes pride in his work and only hires the best of the best. When it got closer to the wedding, Jason was super attentive to all the things we wanted and helped us figure out our timeline as well since we were completely clueless about this. On our wedding day, my husband got to work with Tom and Frank and we LOVED them. They were super fun, attentive, and just great people to have as our photographer and videographer. We felt like they were our guests by the end of the night! After the wedding, when we got our photos and video, we were completely blown away. The details of the photos was amazing and we were extremely impressed on how beautiful everything came out. We couldn't have ask for anyone else. They did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!

My wife Nicole and I love to travel and are huge foodies. We have a dog and enjoy finding new hikes to take him on as much as we can. We are very family oriented and enjoy having game night with friends whenever we can :)

Working with Matt and Nicole at Matt Stallone Photography was a no-brainer. From the moment we saw their portfolio and the beautiful images they produced for good friends, we knew we wanted them on our team. They were so responsive, professional, and organized. They scheduled a call early into our planning to assess what we wanted to capture with our photos. My husband and I shared how important capturing authentic photos was to us especially since I am camera-shy and don’t know how to pose for a camera. Matt and Nicole calmed our nerves and made us feel comfortable on our very first call. This ability to ease nerves carried onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day photos. Struggling to feel comfortable in my skin, I was on edge during our engagement shoot. However, you would never be able to tell from the beautiful images Matt delivered. It was clear that he could sense my hesitation and anxiety and did his absolute best to make us comfortable and relaxed. We couldn’t believe how stunning the engagement photos turned out. The lighting, vivid colors, and authenticity were just palpable. Matt and Nicole are such a great team and so in tune with each other and their clients. They truly understand that each couple is unique and can capture that well. Fast forward to our wedding day, Matt and Nicole scoped out our first look location, even though it was an additional 45 minutes from our getting ready location. Matt and Nicole are easygoing, willing to try anything, and listen to the client. Even though the first-look location was out of the way and had the potential of delaying the wedding, they were on board. They were well prepared after having done several walk-throughs to find us the best shots at the location. They were prompt and ready to rock and roll when they arrived at the hotel. However, on our wedding day, my dad ended up in the hospital. I was extremely heartbroken and a mess, but they were supportive and empathetic while ensuring we captured beautiful images that could be shared with my dad proudly. There were several changes to our original game plan and they rolled with the punches. They were so good about keeping my husband and I on track and reminding us of our shot list request. They were determined to capture all of the photos we had requested. It was such a pleasure working with them and we can't wait to work with them again soon when we do our family portraits with Dad. We plan to work with Matt and Nicole for years to come!!!
