  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Greetings! My name is Lionel and I am a full time traveling photographer from New Jersey that specializes in Weddings and Events on the east coast. I've been practicing both photography and videography for going on 10 years now and from the moment I picked up a camera I absolutely fell in love with it. Its difficult to not sound cliche but capturing once in a lifetime moments and then seeing the reaction of clients and their families is a rush and satisfaction that you just can not get anywhere else. Not everyone in life is able to realize their passion but I am thankful that I have found mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

You're a badass and deserve the space to express yourself and your love EXACTLY as you are, no holds barred. Say goodbye to not knowing what to do with your hands, fake smiles in photos, and stiff posing that *just doesn't feel like you*. LGBTQIA+ and looking for a safe vendor? I gotchu!

Emily photographed some of our biggest life events over the past year. We booked her for our wedding right after finding out we were pregnant so she was able to capture our engagement photos, maternity photos, and in-home family pictures welcoming our baby all leading up to our wedding in September. Emily was able to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera with natural poses but she was also able to capture lots of candid moments for our wedding. We love her bright editing style which fit so well with the vibes of our wedding! Sometimes our emails didn’t like to work with her gallery distribution site, but she was always willing to try-try again to get us our photos!

have always been a follow your heart kind of a gal. When I began my photography journey, I was not exactly sure where it would lead me. A few years later and I cannot believe I was able to leave my full-time job to pursue what I love and live this dream.

Additionally, she was able to turn our photos around quickly!! Aryen’s professionalism and artistic talent made our special day unforgettable. The photos are stunning, and we'll cherish them forever!

We’ve all been in front of someone’s iPhone for a photo. You might not think anything of it until you see it later & you don’t look anything like yourself. My mom loves to snap family photos, so I’ve been there. It's terrible for confidence & it's stressful when someone at the party says “let’s take a photo!” I get it. That’s why I do this–for you to see photos of yourself that actually looks right & you see your own lit up smile, you see yourself in that moment and simply how happy you were. I photograph weddings for that freedom & relief that your creativity & mine are working together to craft authentic, artful photographs for you.

Jenn is absolutely incredible! From the moment we first reached out, they were warm, professional, and so easy to work with. On our wedding day, she had this amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural, which truly shows in the stunning photos they captured. Every shot is full of life, love, and emotion—exactly how we remember the day. They didn’t miss a single detail, from the big, emotional moments to the little candid interactions that made our day so special. Looking through the photos feels like reliving our wedding all over again, and we are completely blown away by their talent. Beyond their amazing photography skills, Jenn was an absolute joy to have around on such an important day. They were organized, patient, and brought such a calming presence that made everything run smoothly. We can’t recommend Jenn and Studio Starling highly enough! If you’re looking for a photographer who will beautifully capture your most cherished memories, look no further. We’ll treasure these photos forever!

I’m a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love the process of learning, which led to me earning my Ph.D. (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies and headbands, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

She made our wedding day stress free since she provided us with a schedule/outline of our wedding day and she always kept ahead of the schedule to make sure we didn’t run late for our ceremony. She provided us sneak peek photos from our wedding within 24 hours. We received a beautiful glass usb with all of our photos a month after our wedding.
