Sergio and his team at PEG were truly exceptional and I am so happy we booked them for our wedding! We had them do our ceremony music, our reception DJ , live sax player, and photo booth! Sergio worked with us every step of the way to make sure we had a package that worked for us. The dance floor was not empty for a single second of the night! The Sax player was a huge hit!

This Insane Idea Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Ocean Gate, NJ

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Awarded Best of Zola
A dear friend of ours, who happens to be a photographer, recommended This Insane Idea Photography to us for our wedding. We had been shopping around for photographers, but hadn’t found anyone offering the style and quality we wanted in our price range. When we looked through Mark’s website, we knew “that’s exactly what we want”. We made our interest known and had a quick initial chat with Mark - his charisma and openness were abundantly clear and made us comfortable being ourselves (important for candid photos!). He answered all of our questions, including his strategy for capturing our diverse crowd of guests coming to our wedding. A few months prior to our wedding, we had an engagement shoot with Mark on Princeton’s campus. He made us feel comfortable and close and had a constant stream of suggestions for poses and shots to take. We loved our Hogwarts vibes engagement shoot and getting to know Mark. On our wedding day, This Insane Idea showed up in full force with Mark, Brittany, and Tom. They were on time and high energy and knew exactly what they needed to do. We weren’t expecting to get close to our photographers, but they are simply great people and we felt like friends by the end of the day. The photos are gorgeous, candid, and true to life. We keep reviewing them to relive our wedding from a million perspectives we didn’t get to see on the day of. It’s been a joy to zoom in on the photos and appreciate the details of the day, and the expressions on our guests' faces. We will treasure these photos and the experience forever. We can’t recommend This Insane Idea highly enough, do it!

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!

She was clearly very knowledgeable about her craft and helped guide us to get the types of photos we were hoping for - from beautiful solo shots to fun family portraits. Kaitlin truly became a part of our whole wedding planning process, and we felt like she cared just as much about making our day special as we did. The quality of her work is top-notch, and we're still in love with our wedding photos years later.

Working with Alex was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. As a type A bride, I was reluctant to hand things over, but working with Alex was the best decision for our wedding. She was patient, concise, creative, and on top of just about everything. She made sure all of our vendors were aligned the month/day of, went above and beyond to help us decorate so we could save costs on florists, and made sure to check up on us throughout the entire process. We are so grateful to her and HIGHLY recommend working with her for your wedding! Absolutely loved her.
