We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience.

Storytelling by Tony & Olya

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Rockaway, NJ

We’ve stood in your shoes, and we know how important it is to capture a story full of meaning and heart. Our goal is to narrate the day as we see it, embracing every emotion and sentiment that unfolds. With over a decade of experience, we’ve told countless stories—sometimes we can predict the moments, and other times they surprise us. But we’re always excited to discover and capture the next amazing story.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a mom, my daughter’s baptism was one of the most precious and joyful days of my life, and having Olya there to capture it was the best decision we made. From the moment she arrived, Olya felt like family. She was so warm and approachable, instantly putting us at ease, which made the entire day feel even more special. The photos Olya took are absolutely beautiful. She didn’t just capture the big moments of the ceremony, but all the little details that made the day unforgettable—the looks on our faces, the love in the room, and the happiness of our friends and family. Every time I look at the photos, I feel like I’m reliving that day all over again. Olya was incredible with my daughter. Baptisms can be a bit overwhelming, especially for little ones, but Olya was so patient and gentle. She made sure my daughter was comfortable, and the photos she captured are just filled with joy. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The reception was such a fun celebration, and Olya managed to capture the energy and happiness perfectly! From the dancing to the laughter, every photo is bursting with life and love. I didn’t even notice her taking half the photos, but when I saw them, they felt so real and full of emotion. I can’t thank Olya enough for creating these beautiful memories that we’ll treasure forever. She captured the heart and soul of our day with such care, and I’m beyond grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly captures the love and joy of life’s special moments!

Waterloo Village is a truly magical venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We first visited for a wedding and were immediately captivated by the rustic charm and historic atmosphere. After seeing how seamlessly everything ran that day, we knew it was the perfect place for our own wedding. The staff at Waterloo Village is outstanding—extremely friendly, helpful, and refreshingly low-pressure. They genuinely focus on making your day special without pushing you to spend beyond your budget. Their professionalism and warmth made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the highlights is their catering partner, JAM. Their commitment to farm-to-table dining is evident in every dish. Many of the ingredients are sourced fresh, some even from their urban garden, which adds a special touch. The food is not only fresh but absolutely delicious.

We ended up behind schedule due to circumstances out of our control, but Chris stayed late just to make sure he fully captured the day. He clearly loves what he does, and he’s one of the best.

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!

Diana and Korey Photo and Film

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,498
  • Serves Rockaway, NJ

As many millennials do, we met on one of those phone dating apps (eh hem.. Tinder..) and had an instant connection! It didn't take long for Korey to make things "official" and asked Diana if she would be his girlfriend. Of course she said 'yes!' and it was a whirlwind after that. We adopted an adorable blue nose pittie, moved in together, and started a business! Now here we are, 6 years later - chasing our dreams and building a career together as a MARRIED COUPLE!! (and we also have another pup!).

One of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Communication with Diana and Korey was smooth from the get go. Just take a look at their beautifully organized website and gallery and you'll understand what I mean! (It's also a great place to start looking for venue inspo!) Time tables with when and what things should happen are reviewed at a scheduled check in time. And the attention to detail they dedicate to your vision/pinterest board is a true sigh of relief for any bride in the wedding planning process! Josh and I are also certified introverts so it's hard for us to feel at ease in front of a camera. But each and every member of their team was so personable that it was easy for each smile and laugh to be genuine. Of course it also helped that Diana always had a pose idea ready to try! During our sweltering July wedding, despite 95 degree weather, Diana and her team sweated alongside us and continued to show enthusiasm for getting that next shot at that next backdrop to make sure every moment was captured. AND she had so many preview photos ready a mere TWO DAYS after the wedding. Herculean feat truly All our friends cannot stop complimenting the wedding album as they said Diana and Korey truly encapsulated our day and helped them relive it once more. I am so thankful that we have these memories memorialized through them and can't recommend this magical team enough!

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.

We were on the hunt for the perfect band for my wedding on Zola, WeddingWire and The Knot. My fiancé and I wanted to find a band that had no negative reviews. We came across bands with 500 reviews, but after reading some bad feedback, we started feeling concerned. Fortunately, we stumbled upon Loveday band, which had nothing but positive reviews - and it turned out to be the best decision we made! When we visited their website, we were delighted to hear their organic sound, which sounded so close to the original songs on their promotional video. After reaching out to them for more information, we had a couple of chats, and finally set a date to meet at my parent's house. It was a fantastic meeting; everyone loved Marcel. He was funny and went over all the details. We were sold and decided to go with them. Our wedding was absolutely amazing, from the ceremony to the reception. Loveday band's talented musicians brought the house down and lived up to everything we saw in their promotional video. They sounded incredible and kept the guests dancing all night on a packed dance floor. There wasn't a single guest at their table during the reception! We received compliments from every guest about the band we hired. I would highly recommend Loveday band to friends or anyone looking for a band for their big day. Many thanks to Loveday band for delivering a perfect evening performance! Doug & Jenny
