Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me just say, we are SO happy we found Dasha to document our NYC marriage ceremony. We were nervous about finding the right person to be there during such an intimate moment and to trust to deliver quality photos. The moment we found her, all of our worries washed away. Dasha was SO professional, knew exactly what to do and made us feel at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted and was so patient. She knows of ALL the best places to get amazing photos. She's an expert. Her work is beautiful - do NOT sleep on the opportunity to work with her! So happy with our experience and can't wait to work with Dasha again!

Brandon was so easy and fun to work with from the first call to the day of the wedding! He captured our vision so well and relayed to message to his team, and they delivered. Chris and Blake actually shot the wedding day and we had just a good time! Chris was the best hype man and made us feel like superstar models the whole day. We had a fun time! Blake and Chris were so nice and carefree which helped us feel relaxed and like they were just two more friends there to celebrate us. We got the pictures back in such a reasonable time, as well! That was a nice treat because we couldn't wait to relive the day through the pictures :) Thank you so much to Brandon and his team (s/o Chris & Blake!) for capturing the magic of our favorite day!! I would highly recommend them to do the same for you!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Sarah, to today, I have to say Sarah is not just a photographer...she's a memory creator, unspoken coordinator, friend, and even family. Sarah is the type of photographer that you are surprised is as amazing as she is because she can balance being fun, professional, staging, and capturing EVERY SINGLE perfect moment. We've just started going through our final wedding photos, and are shocked to go, "Wow how did she get that photo?!" During the event itself, Sarah made sure to talk to everyone to stage for every photo we wanted, and she captured every detail of the venue perfectly. She also spent some of her time making sure my husband and I had EVERYTHING we needed to have our special day. Sarah is by far one of the best vendors I've ever worked with, and will be a consistent photographer of ours until the day she retires. Do NOT let her get away from doing your event!!!!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

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!

Kaitlin Noel & Co. were the perfect wedding photographers for us. From the moment we first spoke with Kaitlin, her communication style was quick, personable, and friendly.

Hi! I’m Jules. I like to think of myself as an artistic storyteller. I love capturing LOVE and have been a professional photographer for 12+ years (don’t let the baby face fool you). I want to know what makes you & your partner tick. Every couple is different & I love making your photos feel like YOU. (& for you to feel super hot, obv.) I would love to share full galleries with you and would be HONORED to create art with you on your dreamiest day! Storytelling is why I do this day in and day out. We don’t do boring over here ;)

We are so so SO grateful we found Jules/Datura Photo to shoot our wedding. She did an incredible job capturing the emotions and the overall story of our day and we couldn’t be happier with ouyr wedding photos! We also utilized Jules for our videography and we are in love with our wedding video. You can really tell when you watch our video and look at our photos that we had a photographer who just loves love. She told our love story so beautifully. You can also tell that she knows so much about composition, lighting, etc. She does a great job with giving directions for where to stand and poses to do for those of us who know nothing about getting our picture taken. Not only is she an incredibly talented and gifted artist in her photography, but she is a total gem to work and spend the day with. She was also super communicative and professional throughout the entire process, went above and beyond and stayed late to get pics at our after party, and as an added bonus she was amazing with the kids in our wedding party and getting them to smile for the camera! We could literally go on and on about how amazing she was. We would highly recommend booking Datura Photo for any wedding, but especially if you want your photos to feel artsy, vintage, romantic, and emotional.

Our engagement shoot went viral on Instagram, and we got hundreds of comments saying, “these are literally the best engagement photos I’ve ever seen.” I too, agree with that sentiment, but I have to give credit to Hereafter’s vision and execution because they NAILED it. As a team, they’re both extremely communicative and organized, professional yet relaxed in the way they interacted with us and our guests. No one has ever made me feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Additionally, their digital color grading is meticulously adjusted to match 35mm film with incredibly accuracy. They perfectly captured the magic of our special day. We booked them for the whole package - engagement shoot, wedding photos, and wedding video with super 8 film. Their understanding of my vision was remarkable…Hereafter managed to romanticize every single detail in a profound way. The photos are so special to us because each one feels like a standalone piece of art. They went above and beyond for us in every capacity, even going so far as to drive me to the venue on my wedding day when things ran late! We cannot recommend Hereafter Films highly enough. Book them immediately! I promise you, they are worth every single penny and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Ra as our photographer for our wedding and it was definitely a solid decision. It was a small wedding on the beach, very personal, it was just me, my wife and 10 of our closest family members. He made sure that no good shots were missed, he had a lot of ideas on what kind of poses and did a great job directing us, all while managing to work around people. The pictures were nothing short of amazing. Thanks again Ra!!
