Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

Lance and Linda were absolutely amazing to work with! They are accommodating, flexible, and professional, to say the least. My husband and I are so happy we book with them, and are obsessed with all of our photos- they are stunning!

Love, Lucy Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Not only are they both lovers of Taylor Swift (so am I so we had lots to chat about!) Bethany and Raquel are phenomenal photographers/people in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book them. I’ve recommended them to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. They go above and beyond the basic responsibilities of photographers and genuinely love documenting love. I hope to book them for literally anything in the future. They were the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. They were one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Bethany and Raquel was amazing and it felt like they were actually invested in learning about us as a couple (they definitely were!) and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Their kind and thoughtful personalities led us to book them for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. They definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told them I trusted their artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with both of them (lol!). They are wonderful people who put you at ease whenever you chat with them and become your genuine lifelong friends along the way. Many guests complimented their work style in which they weren't intrusive during the ceremony, but were constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Bethany and Raquel's candid style was a perfect match for us.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used her for our engagement shoot & wedding photos. We didn’t realize that you should choose your wedding photography *style* before you reach out to potential photographers. If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Hello! I’m the man behind the camera, capturing moments with deep passion for a couple of decades. What began as a simple hobby quickly grew into a mission to freeze time and immortalize your joyous occasions, candid moments, and raw emotions. My goal is to make my photos more than just images—they’re reflections of your most cherished moments, creating a deep connection between you and your memories. My work isn’t just a transaction; it’s about fostering a friendly, approachable environment where you feel comfortable and enjoy the process. I hope you come to love your photos as much as I love creating them.

Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

They have such a knack for finding those perfect, candid shots that totally show the real us. Plus, the way they set up the posed photos. When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times!

My husband and I got married in a hastily planned wedding (thanks to our hands being tied by infinite amounts of immigration red tape) back in 2018 and we cannot express enough how stunningly gorgeous each and every photo is from that day. Amanda not only was able to keep with our annoyingly flexible plans, but she captured the important moments from the day that were stunning and showcased our personalities and with such style…. I still show them off at every opportunity. Truly, if you want a good photographer there are many and you’re sure to find them. If you want a great photographer, who makes even the boring group shots fun, who will capture memories more beautiful than you could ever remember them… If you want a photographer who is able to highlight all your best features and have your unique love and personalities absolutely jumping off the page… do yourselves a favour and hire Amanda. We still hire her for every opportunity that we possibly can because she’s just that good.

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.

Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

We booked Hanel for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot say anymore great things about him. His email responses were timely, thorough and it was incredibly easy to set up time to meet with him to discuss his and our visions. My husband and I are not camera people in the slightest, and often make silly faces in order to balance our awkwardness. However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day. Hanel was able to handle the chaos that were my family and friends on the wedding day, and easily navigated all the different groupings for photos the day of with immense ease. He kept to our wedding timeline without making us feel rushed. Our photos were sent back to us quickly after a month, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I had never felt so beautiful in my life (neither has my husband) and Hanel was able to capture those feelings forever for us. Thank you again for everything Hanel.

Mystery Machine went above and beyond for our wedding. As a musically inclined couple, it was important to us to have the best music. Mystery Machine was excited to bring our vision to life. They were able to professionally coordinate the sound and music for our wedding day, and collaborate with our musical guests for special performances. They brought an energy to our reception that only they could inspire. All of our friends and family are still talking about how incredible they are. Please hire them! You will not regret it!

Margo Sees Stars

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Margo Sees Stars created the most beautiful wedding video for my sister’s 2018 wedding so when it came time to choose my video team, working with Julia and her team was a no-brainer! As expected, our second experience with Julia and team was as comfortable and seamless as the first! If I had another sibling, Margo Sees Stars would be the videographer of choice!

Cyan Blue Photography

Photography is more than a few crisp images, it’s the gift of being able to tell someone else’s story through art. Being behind the camera comes with the privilege of being present for people’s most intimate and special moments. I was born and raised in Central Jersey, and throughout my life photography has been at the center. Over 10 years ago, I took the leap and took my love of the craft to new levels by creating Cyan Blue Photography.

My husband and I used Cyan Blue Photography for our wedding this past weekend and we are blown away by the photos we’ve received so far! 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!). She’s not only insanely talented but super super nice and friendly which made us love her even more. We could not recommend her enough for your wedding or any other important life event you’d like to capture!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Me and my husband had the wonderful pleasure of working with Lou :) he's incredibly talented, truly understands the needs and desires of the LGBT community. My partner and I were looking for a photographer who would make us feel comfortable and confident on our special day, and Lou exceeded our expectations in every way!!! Geniune, polite, friendly, supportive and a sweetheart, thank you Lou! He was even invited to our after party, we're happy to call him our friend. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Lou was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They took the time to listen to our vision for our wedding day and offered helpful suggestions and guidance to make sure we got the shots we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Lou arrived early to scout out the venue and get a feel for the space. He was friendly and engaging with all of our guests, making sure to capture all of the special moments and candid shots that we'll cherish forever. Lou's eye for detail and creativity truly shone through in the photos they took, and we were thrilled with the final results. Overall, we couldn't recommend Lou more highly. They are a true professional who is passionate about capturing the love and joy of every couple they work with. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is LGBT friendly, easy to work with, and produces stunning results, look no further !!

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.
