Gangi Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

We're a husband and wife team who love working together in pursuing our dreams while inspiring each other. We love capturing a combination of artistic and authentic moments that tells everyone's individual story. We pre-visualize from different perspectives, get inspiration from not the most obvious sources and view the world differently, especially photography. When we aren't behind our cameras, you can catch us binging one of our favorite shows, trying out a new local restaurant, or hanging out with our two cats Elmore & Albert.

Literally, look no further. The Gangis are professional, fun, organized and extremely talented. We are thrilled with our photos and can't recommend them enough!

Claire Teator Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

Hi! I'm Maria! I am a New York based fine-art wedding photographer that longs to capture real and authentic love anywhere and everywhere.

Kathi Littwin Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

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.

Savanah Marie Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Hey there! My name is Savanah and I started photography full time back in 2021 and it has been absolutely amazing. I have met so many amazing couples, and helped capture the most important day of their lives. I’m very big on candid moments and in between of your wedding day, from the little looks from across the room, to grandpa breaking it down on the dance floor. My goal is to capture every single thing that makes YOUR day special.

Savanah Marie Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy-going, clear, and consistent, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day itself, Savanah was so considerate - it was freezing outside, which made it difficult to take photos, but she gave us ample breaks to warm up and recover from the unrelenting wind. She also made sure to capture all the poses I had requested. While we haven't received the full collection back yet, the sneak peeks we've seen are absolutely captivating and such high-quality. The photos beautifully capture our love story and the beauty of our wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful and my husband feels the exact same way. Savanah's work is truly of the highest value, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Chris and Chrissy work their magic to make sure you have both!! They were with us for every moment of our wedding day and they made every moment the very best! We had the absolute perfect day filled with laughs and 'photoshoots' that felt like we were just having fun hanging out. And the pictures came out AMAZING!! They got every shot that we didn't know we wanted. Our photos are so beautiful we feel like we are reliving our day every time we look at them! Chris and Chrissy were so personable while also so professional. They provided their honest opinion on anything we asked and made us the priority on our wedding day. Whatever we wanted, whatever we asked for, Chris and Chrissy made sure it happened! They were never 'in the way' to get a shot and fit out photos into the schedule of the day, never taking us away from our day for photos. Our wedding was in August and three months later friends and family are still raving about how fun they were and in awe with how amazing our photos are! I cannot recommend Chris and Chrissy enough!!

Maria A. Garth Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!
