Awarded Best of Zola
I had two photographers and they were professional, upbeat, thoughtful. I also had a videographer, who not only paid attention to detail, but gave me great advice. Dean Micheal's Studio was phenomenal! One of my bridesmaids commented that they loved that the photographers captured every detail. They took so many pictures in creative ways too. I can't wait to see the pictures! Also, before your wedding, a rep will contact you to make sure you have everything you need and give you time lines. It was super helpful that I could write questions and change times with quick replies. Book them!!!

Out of all the various art mediums I believe photography is the most personal.

My passion is to highlight, document and capture that story artfully. My commitment is to deliver the highest quality images while not compromising the importance of your day, always mindful that this is your day and your moment. My work is colorful, textural, cinematic, and able to transform common ground places into works of art you will revisit, share, and look to forever.

Hyde Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Rutherford, NJ

We're a husband/wife photography duo. We're college sweethearts and we're currently expecting our first child in June 2021! We are so happy to be in this business but we didn’t always know we’d become wedding photographers. Seth spent about 10 years in video production (aka the equipment expert) and Nicole is an advertising art director (aka the artsy perfectionist).

Hyde Photography has our hearts. They were such a joy to work with from the very first meeting/call, up until the very end of our wedding night. SO organized and so communicative. Just from the previews we received a couple days after our wedding, we could tell that they captured all of our special moments. They prioritized what we wanted captured all while making sure we were enjoying our day and being in the moment. We put all our trust in them, and their creativity really shined. We will continue to recommend Seth & Nicole of Hyde Photography to anyone.

His team was equally impressive, working diligently to capture every special moment. For our engagement shoot, he let us play our favorite music to help us relax and be ourselves. Despite the rain, he creatively captured stunning night shots and seized every opportunity for outdoor photos. Our photo preview and teaser video are incredible

I'm Angelica, the owner of Dawnpoint Studios! I'm an adventurous and internationally requested wedding/elopement photographer with a focus on sustainability! Here's an unexpected fact - I hated weddings when I first started second shooting them. It broke my heart to see couples being rushed, overwhelmed, and not truly having any connection to couples. That's what drove my passion to breath a fresh air into the wedding experience! Plan with intention, focus on being present, and building genuine relationships with couples! You should be heard, appreciated, and understood. You should feel encouraged to get married your way.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to START!!!! This gal immediately became part of the crew from the first photos with the bridesmaids to the end of the night rager! Angelica and her second shooter were both incredible start to finish. Great at going with the flow but also making sure to get those photos that I had on my shot list (no matter how hard everyone was making that haha!) She had the best energy that helped me not feel nervous at all and honestly empowered from the start. She got so many amazing details that we are literally having a viewing party with all of our local guests because we just cannot choose which photos to post. I chose her because her photos and galleries all looked so different but one common theme was everyone looked like they were 1. having fun and 2. being themselves. Personally posed photos aren't for me. So when I saw her galleries I knew I wanted her above all other photographers. And I had a chart of 21 that I researched but after my first meeting with her I was sold. I chose three photos for this review- one of her capturing the insanity of our hair at the reception, Angelica being a part of the crew (my dad mentioned 3 times how great she was and how much he loved her and the second shooter) and the one where she truly shows her style of capturing natural excitement in the people and world around her.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

My husband and I are not really into having our picture taken, so we were pretty nervous about our wedding day. That being said, Michelle did a great job putting us at ease and capturing us in a way that was natural and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable. The pictures came out outstanding- better than we could have ever imagined! We had no plans to order a photo album, but I gave in and could not be more happy with how it turned out! We are incredibly pleased and grateful for the work Michelle put in. We would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to find and connect with Kim for our wedding photos. Planning it for the 3rd time – yes, we are one of those pandemic couples – we were so nervous about having to find someone quickly that we liked. Pictures were one of our top priorities and we were very picky about achieving the right style. Kim hit it out of the park on all fronts. Not only is she ridiculously talented, but she was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. She is extremely kind, attentive, and accommodating. She offered us a last-minute engagement shoot so that we could meet her and to get us comfortable in front of the camera. This was so helpful for us and made shooting for the wedding much easier and relaxing. She also stayed longer than planned to get those few extra special shots walking around SoHo. When we saw our engagement photos, we knew we made the right decision. On the day of, it was important to us to incorporate our home, neighborhood, and adorable pup in our photos. Kim was super flexible and thoughtful of how to do this. She totally leaned in when I wanted to walk to Washington Sq Park for our first look, where we got the “free hugs” guy to take photos with us, then hopped into a yellow cab to the venue. Kim kept us moving and made the best use of the time we had, which was super helpful since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator. The whole day turned out to be perfect and Kim captured it all for us. Every person who has seen our proof book has said “how are you going to choose? They are all amazing…” and I couldn’t agree more! We can’t wait to work with her again.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day. I've been photographing weddings for nine years and love working with couples interested in authentic moments and stunning portraits. From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Before I get started: BOOK HIM! I probably spent more time than I should have going through dozens and dozens of photographer’s websites, portfolios, reviews, etc. Photography was my number 1 priority vendor for me, and both my husband and I are so happy with our entire experience with Bryan. From the first email and meeting to the wedding day itself to the photo delivery, working with Bryan was seamless and felt like we were working with a longtime friend! The quality and artistry in Bryan’s work is phenomenal, which was a shared sentiment of our family and friends as well. Magazine worthy shots, and that is coming from a couple who is a bit camera shy! Bryan is truly a gift. I’m so glad we have pictures that capture the day so authentically beautifully, and that we will have them to look back on in the years to come! HIGHLY recommend Bryan Weber Photography

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

Welcome to Hidden Gem Visuals! We are are an Award Winning Photography Company and provide services to NJ, NY, PA, and CT. The owner, Geoff (Jeff), will personally be the photographer at your wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly!

Geoff from Hidden Gem Visuals was amazing from start to finish! I decided on a photographer for my civil wedding at the very last minute; about 1-2 days prior to the big day. He was extremely responsive and easy to talk to. To top things off, his price was very competitive as well! On the actual wedding day he arrived 15 minutes early and was ready to go. Geoff was courteous, professional, and extremely kind! He efficiently directed our group of 15 people while simultaneously capturing beautiful pictures. As a bonus, I want to commend his attention to detail as Geoff addressed some members of my family by name despite me not even formerly introducing them yet! Upon completion of group photos, my husband and I then did a private photo session. Perhaps the most impressive thing about Geoff was his ability to make our environment appear a lot more beautiful and eye-catching than it really was. For reference, we were surrounded by government buildings, court houses and municipal property. However, his attention to detail and on-the-spot creativity set the scene for something much more amazing. In fact, some of my favorite shots were taken under very simple arch ways, greenery and benches you would normally pass daily without any thought. Geoff’s use of natural sunlight was the icing on the cake to add that extra cinematic feel to already flawlessly captured images. Lastly, the turn-around time for our photos was very quick and we were extremely happy with how everything turned out. Thank you, Geoff, for beautifully capturing one of the most important days of my life. I cannot recommend him enough!

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
Ben Lau and his assistant photographers were amazing and did an amazing job capturing our wedding. I worried that our wedding was not the “traditional” beautiful venue of a mansion or an outdoor space with a view. But Ben made our modest Chinese restaurant look like a million bucks with his photos. We also took advantage of being close to prospect park to take photos before the wedding. Having Ben available for 10 hours on our wedding day and 2 hours complimentary engagement shoot to get to know each other was really generous and a good deal. The fact that he also understood and had previously captured our venue before and his years of experience was also really great and put us at ease. A true professional and a relaxing person to have around!! And the photos were gorgeous - worthy of Vogue, the New York Times and any photoshoot I have ever seen!!

PS: Personally, I’d avoid the moon but I am more than happy to photograph you anywhere on earth. :)

I had initially found him through my best friend Sam, who he had done BOTH photo and video for, and I was blown away by his amazing work. He was kind enough to do the videography for my wedding and I am so grateful that he did. Not only does he do amazing work, but he is professional, kind, pays attention to every detail, and he ended up being the life of the party at the wedding. All of my guests adored him, and he made everyone feel so comfortable. When my husband and I received our video, we were both in tears. You can really tell how much time and effort Jia put into it. If you are in search of a photographer or videographer do not hesitate to book Jia from Frame Your Love Photography.

Christopher is the best! From initial zoom meeting through wedding day and even after. His personality and sense of humor make working with him so fun and easy. He brought Kyle as our second shooter who was also laid back and wonderful. Low stress experience and high quality, beautiful pictures!!! Chris has awesome artistic vision and will do what he’s gotta do to capture the shot (shoes off, standing on furniture included). Our formal portraits feel modern, not stuffy and the dance floor candids put us right back in the moment. It was such a pleasure to have him with us capturing all our moments, big and small.

I'm a wife, a mom and a New Jersey wedding photographer!! I love Jesus! I really really love to travel!!! And I'm the one who always plan the vacations. My favorite food is Italian. If I had to choose between the beach or snow, you will definitely see me jumping into the water!! I have a degree in Accounting and Finance and I love to create budgets. I was born in Cuba, so my first language is Spanish, lived in Colombia for a few years and my plan is to get old in the United States.

Sarai came recommended in a wedding group I was in, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to hire her for our intimate courthouse wedding. From our very first interaction, Sarai was incredibly responsive, friendly, and collaborative in helping us plan the perfect November morning around lower Manhattan. My husband and I have varying degrees of comfort with pictures, yet she was able to capture both staged shots and joyful, candid moments that made our wedding day so memorable. Sarai took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought out our goofy, playful sides without even trying. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, delivering the best value for the incredible quality of her work. Sarai is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuinely kind and personable human being. We cannot recommend Sari Photography highly enough for any couple looking to document their wedding day with beautiful, timeless imagery.

Hi! My name is Nina, but my business goes by Film & Frond Photography! I’ve been passionate about photography for over a decade, and my love for the craft has only grown as I’ve delved into the world of film photography! I officially launched my business last October, and have shot several weddings on my own, as well as second shot numerous weddings along side other photographers. I provide timeless and artful documentary style photography services for weddings, elopements, and engagements/couples.

Where do we begin! Nina and Will at Film and Frond helped ensure our NYC elopement went perfectly to plan, and we can’t thank them both enough for everything! Our photos are incredible and we will treasure them forever as perfect keepsakes of our special day in NYC. As we were travelling to NYC from overseas (Scotland) we were nervous about the logistics and the risk of the weather changing. In our two Zoom calls prior to our trip, Nina was so reassuring and we made sure to cover all bases incase of a change in schedule or rain. On the day of the elopement, Nina and Will met us early in the morning at our hotel, and were the perfect companions for us venturing round NYC for photos before our City Hall Ceremony. They are both the sweetest, most authentic people and there was zero awkwardness. Both my husband and I were a little nervous about being in the front of the camera, but with Nina’s help we forgot we were being photographed at all and simply enjoyed the day. We love the photos which have been delivered, such a beautiful variety of shots in Dumbo, at Brooklyn Bridge, City Hall and in Soho. Opening our full gallery was like being back in New York, and took us right back to the magic of the day. Nina and Will, we cannot thank you enough not only for your insane photography skills but for being such fantastic people to spend our elopement with! You helped make the day what it was and we are forever grateful you’ve helped preserve our memories so beautifully. We cannot recommend Film and Frond highly enough!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

Pierce photography was great to work with. We had two shooters and added the photobooth option. During the photos Jason was a natural photographer not forcing the poses and allowing for our personalities to come out. Throughout the ceremony you didnt even know he was there but yet he caught so many moments that otherwise we would have missed. Still to this day we look at our album and are amazed at the quality of work we got staying in our budget. Wouldn't change anything and would definitely use Pierce photography in the future for more events.

There is a dusty old photo album that I’ve looked at hundreds of times. It is from my parents’ wedding more than 40 years ago. It shows me a little piece of my history every time I look at those images. When I lost my father, I realized his memory lives on in those images for me. It’s like this perfect window into the past that I want to give each and every one of my wedding clients.

I cannot say enough good things about Monika. Not only is she the most talented photographer and so easy and fun to work with, but she’s truly the most amazing person. Monika photographed our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding and did the most incredible job! The first time my husband and I met with Monika we instantly felt like we had known her forever. We are a bit camera shy and always feel so awkward taking pictures, but everytime we worked with Monika she made us feel so comfortable. Everything felt so natural and fun and it really reflected well in our photos! Monika is such a professional - she did multiple site visits with us at our wedding venue so that she was familiar with all the best places for pictures and where the light was at different times of the day. During the planning process, we worked with her to come up with a detailed shot list of all the photos we wanted her to capture during our wedding weekend, and she was so diligent at capturing all the photos on our list without it feeling like we were just ticking the box. Monika was also such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. I was so nervous and emotional and was honestly so happy that she was by my side all day. She was such a comforting presence - it didn’t feel like she was just there to take pictures, she was there supporting and guiding me! My family and our wedding party loved her and was so impressed. She also worked so seamlessly with my videographer that you would have never guessed that they hadn’t worked together before! I could go on and on, but you don’t need to take my word for it - just look at some of the stunning photos she took at my wedding! I am obsessed!

At the end of the day, I’m just a guy that loves weddings. Both photographing them and going to one as a guest. The joy, the laughter, the butterflies in stomach. The tears. The celebration. Oh yes, the food. I believe the focal point of a good wedding photography is at the literal and creative portrayal of the emotions between the couple as well as their loved ones. My sincere hope as a wedding photographer is that one day you and your loved ones will look at the images that I created and be reminded of the amazing gratitude you feel for each other.

Wow. This woman is not only a great photographer but an all-around great person. Just my upfront vibes from her made me feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. She gave us a suggestion of a location and she really helped us out when it came to different poses that would work and different photo ops. I was so excited when I got the engagement photos back and when she arrived at my wedding venue the day of the wedding I knew that I could trust her to capture our wedding beautifully. I got some sneak peaks and I am in love. I cannot wait to get the rest of the photos. I would hands-down recommend her as a photographer to anyone! I found her on this app and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wedding.

On wedding days, I want my couples to know that I'm there to capture more than just portraits in the perfect golden hour lighting. Photos should bring you back to the day they were taken, the same way that souvenirs bring you back to a trip or country that you absolutely loved. To me, being a wedding photographer means more than just taking photos at a party. It's about taking the right photos that will have the right impact; the ones that will transport you through movement, colors, and vantage points right back into that incredible day. That's why "more than just portraits" is the best way to summarize what I photograph on wedding days.

Stop your search and book Olivia- she is AMAZING!!! I knew from looking at her work immediately that we had to have her for our wedding and she went above and beyond. Her work is stunning - she captures the most beautiful photos where you can feel the emotion behind them. She is also so kind, so professional, and makes you feel perfectly at ease on a day that can often feel so hectic. We could not be happier that we had Olivia photograph our wedding day.

She kept our timeline going on our wedding day and made it a point to get everything we wanted and more. She is so fun and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - we're very awkward. Her work just speaks for itself and she has the resources to make your journey smooth and so worth doing. We also booked her and her business partner for a photobooth so it really is the whole package!

Hey, I'm Jaimee with two "E"s. I'm a New Jersey based Lifestyle Portrait and Wedding Photographer. I'm also a wife, new mom, and mediocre latte artist. Entertaining family and friends in my home is one of my favorite things to do. The more the merrier. Come over and I'll make you a latte. I promise. When I'm not working you can usually find me with my hair in a bun and a cute baby on my hip, or cuddling on the couch with my husband in our matching robes with our dogs watching a good crime series.

I cannot recommend Jaimee enough. Not only does she give you her all leading up to the event, she does it all the day of. She is professional, kind, and makes you feel so comfortable. She even SEWS. My strap broke before the ceremony and she fixed it with a bridesmaid in ten minutes. She’s incredible.

I found Jason at a wedding expo and I instantly loved his work. He was super nice and we stayed in touch until I was ready to book. He was super helpful and responded to any questions I had very quickly and professionally. You can tell that he takes pride in his work and only hires the best of the best. When it got closer to the wedding, Jason was super attentive to all the things we wanted and helped us figure out our timeline as well since we were completely clueless about this. On our wedding day, my husband got to work with Tom and Frank and we LOVED them. They were super fun, attentive, and just great people to have as our photographer and videographer. We felt like they were our guests by the end of the night! After the wedding, when we got our photos and video, we were completely blown away. The details of the photos was amazing and we were extremely impressed on how beautiful everything came out. We couldn't have ask for anyone else. They did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!

My wife Nicole and I love to travel and are huge foodies. We have a dog and enjoy finding new hikes to take him on as much as we can. We are very family oriented and enjoy having game night with friends whenever we can :)

Matt and Nicole photographed our NYE wedding in the Catskills and they did a wonderful job! The pictures turned out beautifully. We were impressed with how quickly they were able to get our group photos done even though we had a big wedding party. This was especially appreciated since we opted for outdoor photos and it was cold! They were also very communicative throughout the process, including leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day. Despite our large wedding (185), they captured almost everyone in attendance in at least one picture. We know we’ll really appreciate that in the years to come as we continue to look back at the photos in our album.

So be yourself. You can laugh, cry, or shout silly things if you want to. It’ll feel awesome, promise. The only rule is that there are no rules. Now let’s go have some fun :).

We are NJ wedding photographers who enjoy capturing life’s timeless moments for you to cherish. We’re New Jersey natives, a husband and wife duo, raising our little girl and Sheepadoodle pup on the east coast. Your love knows no bounds and we would love the privilege to get behind the scenes of your love and capture the raw, organic, and intimate moments. We love weddings for what they represent. Two people giving all of themselves to each other for the world to see.

Alberto and his assistant photographer brought the ultimate experience to our New York City wedding day on 02/24/24! From the very start we knew we wanted Alberto (we call him Chris) to shoot our wedding because of his beautiful film photography & style to his work. He’s professional, educated, passionate, creative & intentional in every detail of his work. When we hired him in November 2023, we had 4 calls where we discussed details, plans, vision, & what to expect. He knows his craft very well and is always making sure his couples are happy and comfortable throughout the process. Him and his assistant photographer were with us from Getting Ready to First Touch to the Altar and lastly, our party! They move efficiently & proactively, never leaving room for error and always leaving time for preparation & fun! I would hire Alberto & his team 10x more, & we cannot wait to see the full gallery. The few snippets alone took our breath away, we can’t even imagine all the hard work they’re putting into our photos. If you hire Alberto, you will not be disappointed!!!
