Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Hey all you adventurous care free lovers! Thanks for being here. My name is Alyssa and I’m a nj based wedding and elopement photographer. I travel all over the US and beyond as well. When I’m not photographing weddings you can find me curled up with a fantasy book or at the gym or hanging out with my three daughters. My style of photography can be defined as documentary. I love capturing perfect moments that are happening organically as opposed to posing you through every part of your day. I like for my couples to enjoy the day as it’s happening and not stress about every second being dictated by a photographer. Let’s chat!

We first worked with Alyssa for our engagement photos and knew we had to book her for our wedding! She was responsive, kind, helpful and helped in anyway that she could on our wedding day! The turnaround time for our photos was amazing and we are so happy with the photos! We 1000% recommend Alyssa from Oceans to Mountains Photography!

I believe photographs are like time machines, one of life's greatest treasures.

Her strategic planning sessions prior to our day, helped us map out our wedding day, moment by moment and made our day go by smoothly. Her assistant Ashley’s attentiveness added to making us feel at home and in great hands, simply a great team! The photos came out unbelievably beautiful and we’re in the process of choosing the shots for our photo album and picture frame shots, so many to choose from!

Love & Lenses Photography’s three dedicated individuals each have their personality and distinctive flair. What remains constant across the board, however, is their willingness to put clients at the heart of their every decision. Unsurprisingly, they are comfortable with a broad array of styles that allow them to produce a diverse collection of images for newlyweds. These approaches include contemporary, natural, traditional, and vintage. What’s more, owners Brianna and Rebecca are adept at incorporating photojournalism into their work. This versatility allows them to reflect a number of interesting themes and aesthetics.

From the moment I met Becky, I knew I had found my wedding photographer. She was so bubbly and easy to talk to. She answered ALL the questions I had and put my mind at ease with each email I sent. I had a smaller wedding with approximately 75 guests. It was both mine and my husband's second marriage and we wanted a more relaxed fun atmosphere, with lots of actions and candid shots. Both Becky and Brianna exceeded our expectations. I have so many "in the moment" candid shots, along with the "traditional " type family photos. Everyone at the wedding commented on how my photographers weren't intrusive and were actually fun! I will definitely be recommending Love & Loves Photography to all my family and friends!

Scarlet was so resourceful and easy to work with. We love our engagement and wedding photos. Neither of us has ever really been part of a wedding so we didn't know much going into this. She was helpful not only with all things photography of course but just there to answer any wedding questions and help us as best she could. Our wedding day she took control and we didn't feel overwhelmed. She handled our families with patience and just the right amount of assertiveness. They were a wild bunch to get together for photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Rich as the videographer for our small intimate wedding was an absolute dream. He was transparent with pricing and services offered. Response time was extremely quick and his availability to talk when I had questions was very flexible. On the day of Rich put everyone at ease. We had an intimate 25 person wedding and I was worried a professional videographer would overpower the atmosphere but he was able to blend into the background while also being right there to capture everything. He was also super helpful the whole day and I really appreciated the extra above and beyond effort he put in to help things run smoothly. The videos and stills we received back left me speechless they were so beautiful and he was able to translate the inspiration I sent in his own way and perfectly capture the day. I can’t recommend Richard J Nieves Photography enough.

Diana and Korey Photo and Film

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,498
  • Serves Rutherford, 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!

She's so easygoing, extremely flexible, and will make your shoots so comfortable and relaxed. We did a few shoots with Lex prior to getting engaged. She actually helped my fiance plan our engagement and she absolutely nailed both execution and the photos. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and was the easiest decision we made the entire planning process. She was extremely patient at our official engagement shoot when we brought our crazy dogs and were trying to get them to sit still and pose for a few photos, and had no issues editing out a big black stain that got on the side of my white dress during our shoot. She's someone who truly cares about her work AND her clients, and will do whatever she needs to to make your experience perfect. Every frame in my house is filled with photos taken by Lex. If you're considering hiring her for your big day, this is your sign to DO IT!

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

As a professional photographer for the past several years, I have worked with clients in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Philadelphia, North New Jersey, and elsewhere. Despite the availability of smartphones and digital cameras, a professional photographer remains essential for capturing the emotion and true essence of an important event. I am ready to help you immortalize your wedding.

Choosing the right photographer for our destination wedding was a crucial decision, and we truly struck gold with Hector. From our first interaction, it was clear that we were in the hands of a professional who not only excels at his craft but genuinely cares about capturing the essence of his clients' most special moments. Hector made the whole process feel seamless, even from miles away. He was incredibly flexible and open to our ideas and visions, making sure that every detail was discussed and planned to perfection. His communication was exemplary throughout, providing us with the reassurance needed when planning such an important event from afar. Upon meeting him at our wedding location, his warm and personable approach immediately put us at ease. We hired him to a week long wedding at Punta Cana and he made everyday so special. Hector has the unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments one might typically miss, yet also possesses the knack for organizing group shots effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Our wedding Party and all our guest loved him and how he interacts with everyone just shows how he cares. His work ethic is something out of this world. Hector went above and beyond, from arriving at the venue early to scout the best photo spots, to his patience and creativity with every shot. The photos were stunning—a perfect blend of natural light, picturesque backgrounds, and authentic expressions. What truly set Hector apart was his ability to make us feel completely comfortable throughout our big day. His guidance on poses and scenes was invaluable, and his upbeat personality made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to be an incredible photographer. When we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away. Each image told a story, capturing the spirit and joy of our day. The colors, angles, and moments he chose to capture were nothing short of magical. It's clear that Hector doesn’t just take photos; he creates art and captures feelings. We couldn't be more grateful to have had Hector as part of our wedding journey. His professionalism, talent, and kind-hearted nature made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture the essence of their special day in the most beautiful and heartfelt way possible. We are so grateful for the exceptional work he provided us. I promise you that you will be blown away. Look no further and hire Hector for your next event or wedding whether local or destination wedding you will truly love his work

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

Working with Lizzie through the entire process, from shopping for a photographer, booking, engagement shoot, planning, day of and photo delivery was the smoothest process imaginable. My husband and I felt as if we were chatting with a friend every conversation, meeting and event we spent with Lizzie. To put it plainly, she is built for this business, in and out. Our engagement photos and wedding photos were all beyond stunning. We received sneak peak photos within days of both of our engagement shoot and wedding. The sneak peak wedding photos were received NEXT DAY! Our full wedding album came one month and one day later. Lizzie had the pleasure of photographing us when it was 20 degrees or less during our engagement shoot and torrential downpours our wedding day. The photos capture only our love and the best moments of our life, you would never even know the elements were less than cooperative. As mentioned previously, due to the weather on our wedding day 99% of our photos had to be fully indoors. Every single photos was even better than we could imagine. We were spoiled with being able to get a few awesome stunning outdoor shots when the rain broke for a little bit during our reception. Lizzie came with two additional photographers day off, Jacky and Hannah, that worked seamlessly with her to help towards our stunning lifelong memories. If you want to add a vendor to your wedding team that will ensure you have the day of your dreams to look back on forever, run don’t walk to book Lizzie.

Awarded Best of Zola
WHERE DO I EVEN START!? When I got engaged, I didn’t realize one of the hardest things about planning a wedding was going to be finding a wedding photographer. I loved so many photographers that I met with, but I didn’t connect with any of them the way I connected with Gabby. Her rich upbeat personality and knack for being so personable is amazing and very much radiates from her the moment I met her. That alone completely convinced me, but she knocks it out of the park with her perfect and thorough organization skills. Not a single detail was missed and she was so understanding of my anxiety the day of my wedding I don’t even know how she does it. She wasn’t just my photographer she was also my therapist, haha! If you’re looking for a photographer that can not only capture your wedding beautifully but also contribute so much happiness I can’t recommend booking Gabby enough. I’m so excited for whatever event me and my new hubby are going to have just so we can hang with her again!

Lee uses this experience to create magical imagery for each couple’s magical day. After 15 years of teaching photography and design in South Korea, Lee came back to the United States in search of even more creative opportunities.

Lee was probably the best hire for my wedding day, and he had some awesome competition! He was receptive to ideas and made all of the photos I wanted happen while also knowing what shots to get that we didn’t think of. I was also incredibly pleasantly surprised when he gave me well over the promised 20-30 sneak peeks way before the one week that was promised in his contract. There were so many amazing shots included in the sneak peeks, we can’t pick a favorite and cannot wait to see the rest!

My favorite thing in life is sitting out by my fire-pit with a glass of Riesling and a s’more in hand with friends and family surrounding me. I'm completely obsessed with traveling, going on adventures, and elephants, and actually foster one named Kamok in Kenya! I feel extremely lucky to have found the love of my life, Scott, when we were studying abroad in Copenhagen, and we now spend our days dreaming up our next adventure! I've been obsessed with weddings and knew I wanted this to be my career after attending my first one when I was 14, and haven't looked back since. I can't wait to hear about your day!

Simply the best! From the beginning, Laura was very responsive and reached out to me immediately once I inquired. From our first Skype call, to her online billing system, everything about working with her was simple and professional. She is truly passionate about her work and knows these photos are meaningful and will be around forever. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Laura was continuously engaged with us throughout the process and put together our day of timeline. Days before the wedding, she made sure all our vendors and family members were on the same page with the timeline by sending them an email and her contact information. Truly a STRESSFREE process for a bride and groom knowing that you have Laura and a support team behind you. She’ll go the extra step for great pictures. We received so many compliments from our friends and family on how hard she worked and how friendly she was! I believe that photos are the biggest part of a wedding and an investment since they last forever. Every bride wants a beautiful sunny day for their wedding, even if it was extremely hot on my wedding day, I knew that Laura would be able to capture us in the best light. I could go on and on about how wonderful Laura is. I strongly recommend Laura Lee Photography and I look forward to continuing my relationship with her.

Where to even begin… Jovanny captured our wedding exactly and as joyously as it occurred. He not only fully encapsulated our personalities through these pictures, but also captured the bliss we were radiating. Several wedding guests and family members came up to us to commend how well Jovanny communicated with everyone during the photos. He fit right in like another guest. We had a destination wedding during peak fall foliage in NH. Jovanny drove behind us up to the top of mountain we got married on surrounded by our friends and family. His organizational skills and creative thinking made group shots effortless and pain free - even with our 2 and 3 year old niece and nephew. Our family members praised his upbeat, outgoing attitude the entire time. He’s a true professional. Every day I find myself looking back through our easy to use gallery that he set up for our photos. We also used Jovanny for our engagement shoot. He’s one of the most down to earth people we’ve ever connected with. We recommend everyone reaches out to book with him before the rest of the world (and New Jersey) realizes what a hidden gem he is.
