Hechler Photographers 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

“Photography takes a moment out of life…and holds it still” A small collection of photographers who strive to capture the emotion and energy of life’s significant moments in a sophisticated yet understated light hearted way.

My husband and I cannot thank Hechler Photographers enough for everything. It was such a joy shooting with Julio for our engagement shoot in downtown Manhattan and our Rehearsal Dinner at the Union League Club in NYC, and we loved shooting with Julio, David, and John (the videographer) on our wedding day that took place on May 18, 2024 at the Metropolitan Club in NYC. From the moment we met David (recommended by our amazing planner, Jeff Stillwell of Stillwell Events), we knew it was a wonderful match. David is extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing listener. When David referenced notes from our very first conversation a year and a half later (just a little under a month from our wedding), I was beyond impressed and truly touched. We greatly appreciate how David, Julio, and John were all able to quickly respond in the moment and pivot as needed, whether it was to ensure my hair could be touched up to stay perfectly in place or that we could have time to relax before key moments (e.g., the ceremony). As an incredibly detail-oriented bride, I am so grateful for all the attention to detail that was demonstrated from the beginning of our wedding day to the end of the evening. David, Julio, and John managed to strike the perfect balance of making their presence known, while blending in perfectly (one of my friends had commented that most photographers & videographers she had seen at weddings were so loud and even disruptive). Not this team!!!! I will also be forever grateful for all the encouragement and helpful tips and pointers/direction that David and Julio provided throughout Friday and Saturday to make sure that everyone looked and felt their best while remaining confident in being themselves. I still have Julio’s voice in my head saying, “Work it!” I am so grateful that David and Julio were able to capture all the photos and videos on my extensive shot list, and then some!! My husband, our families, and I cannot wait to see these photos and videos - if the engagement shoot photos are any indication of what's to come, these photos and videos are going to be absolutely magnificent. David, Arthur, Julio, and Casey, thank you for everything! It has been such a pleasure working with you all. This past weekend felt like heaven on earth, and I’m so glad we chose you all to capture these memories we will cherish forever and ever. -Nicole & Kyle May 18, 2024

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Jon for our civil wedding photos in Brooklyn Heights and couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the moment we got in touch with him for the first time until the handoff of all the photos, the experience was seamless. His extremely organised work methodology made everything smooth and easy. We spent two hours with him walking around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, and the result was a great variety of photos. Jon's got a special eye for lighting, composition and editing. On top of everything, his personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera. 100% recommend working with him. It will be fun and the final edits will be memorable.

David Perlman Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

I was voted Friendliest in high school (very proud of that fact), and I genuinely love what I do. I cry at every wedding, and I usually cry again when I'm editing your photos. I used to be an actor on Broadway and TV, and I think that makes me a stickler for making sure your photos are authentic and believable. (And I will help you get there!) I'm married to a wonderful man, so I've been through the wedding planning from the other side (ahh!), and we have an adorable little dog. :)

David is one of my go-to photographers for any wedding I plan! His work is fabulous as is the professionalism and positive energy he always brings on site with him.

Tyler Boye Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

For over a decade, while living in Los Angeles, Tyler’s work entailed red carpet events & Hollywood parties, photo shoots for fashion & news magazines, as well as celebrity portraits & intimate gatherings. After shooting weddings for several editors, friends, and celebrities Tyler found he really enjoyed the “storytelling” aspect of a wedding day.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Tyler, Jess, and team. They are the most kind, talented, and helpful team we could have ever hoped for. Not only did Tyler capture phenomenal pictures but he also helped us navigate family dynamics in picture arrangements and leaned into every picture combination we wanted. Further, Jess was the most phenomenal wedding coordinator we could have ever hoped for. She made everything an absolute breeze. She pursues her coordination tasks with kindness, compassion, focus, and organization. We could not have had a successful day without her! I truly cannot recommend working with this team enough! They are incredible!

Lightyear Studio

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… wait that’s a different story :-) What seems like "lightyears" ago, 2004 was the beginning of our story, an epic tale spanning years and continents as we travel to discover the greatest story ever told…yours!

Lightyear Studios is truly a master of their craft. My one sole criteria was that I did not want a “point- and -shoot photographer” and they are definitely not that! Nathan and Thanh brings true vision to life. We used them for our engagement shoot, my bridal shower, and our wedding. The pictures have all come out beautiful, and really captured the emotion and energy of the room. My husband and I are as awkward on camera as they come. The Lightyear team eases you and helps you navigate through each picture and pose. I don’t know how they do it but I am all here for it. In addition, Their level of communication and ability to get back to your questions and concerns in a timely manner is top tier. Highly recommend!

Cly by Matthew 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

CLY BY MATTHEW has evolved at year 2004 from fashion, portrait and still life photography to the wonderful world of wedding photography, which incorporates all three genres. We follow a non-intrusive photojournalistic style for your weddings, which our clients (and their guests) very much appreciate. We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography. If you’re here and in the middle of researching photographers, stop reading and contact CLY immediately. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Gangi Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

We're a husband and wife team who love working together in pursuing our dreams while inspiring each other. We love capturing a combination of artistic and authentic moments that tells everyone's individual story. We pre-visualize from different perspectives, get inspiration from not the most obvious sources and view the world differently, especially photography. When we aren't behind our cameras, you can catch us binging one of our favorite shows, trying out a new local restaurant, or hanging out with our two cats Elmore & Albert.

We could not recommend Tim and Mercedes enough! They are simply amazing and delightful to work with. We interviewed a few top photographers in the area and ended up choosing Gangi Photography for a few reasons but the main one was how organized they were (I am super type A). My husband and I were planning a wedding during a pandemic and across the country and we were totally worried about EVERYTHING. Tim and Mercedes did everything they could to help us. They were quick to answer emails and phone calls, they went out of their way to meet up with us the one day we were in town before the wedding, and their organized and thoughtful approach to the day-of schedule was a lifesaver. Then came the wedding day. My husband and I are awkward and shy in photos, but Tim and Mercedes made us comfortable and relaxed immediately. They were quick to adjust to changes and accommodated all the little bumps along the way, and they helped tremendously with our sassy grumpy flower girl the day of. Then we got our photos! WE LOVE THEM! They are even better than we could have imagined. We will cherish these photos and the memories of our wedding day for years to come.

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

I can't say enough good things about Meg. Not only was she just lovely to correspond with leading up to our engagement photos, but she did a PHENOMINAL job. She made us feel so comfortable and cute during our session, and her pictures came out AMAZING. She's the perfect photographer if you want natural, documentary style photographs that really just bring out your love and joy for each other. 10/10 would recommend!!

  • Photojournalistic style

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Look no further! Claire is, by far, the most professional and reasonably priced wedding photographer in the Tristate Area. She was recommended to me by a very close friend who is also a wedding photographer. Claire started out as her assistant, but assistant she is no more! She is great at what she does and is extremely personable. We met for a drink and within 1min I knew she was who we would go with. She is calm, organized, friendly and good at her job! What more could you ask for? Besides our wedding coordinator, Claire was the one who made our wedding happen. Her timelines and schedule helped the day move along smoothly, she made sure we took great sunset beach pictures and (thankfully) convinced me to do a first look so we didn't completely miss our cocktail hour. We had 260 guests, most of them being family members, which would not be an easy task for anyone. Claire was professional and helpful and somehow it all worked out perfectly. The turnaround was very quick; we were able to make Christmas cards out of pictures she took less than 2 months before. We are still using her website to order prints (which come out beautifully btw) and will continue to do so! We are so thankful that this part of our wedding turned out as amazing as it did. Photos can make or break a day, and ours was a homerun!

Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

Laura is wonderful to work with! Laura's style of photography is what had originally drawn us to her; her ability to capture candid moments and how she always seems to get the perfect lighting! The photos she took completely captured the overall warm and loving vibe of our wedding. She must be some sort of magician... or just the best possible wedding photographer... Booking her was easy. She was easy to get in touch with and was always prompt to respond. I'm glad we booked her early to lock in our date. She is a very popular photographer and she books up fast! We met Laura before our wedding to go over the details of the venue and timeline of the night. She is a pro so she can make any venue, even the warehouse we booked, look bright and not dark and dingy. Day of, Laura came happy and ready to shoot. Our portraits with parents and the bridal party were not only beautiful, taken in a field, but also super fun! Laura knows how to make you feel good about yourself when she's shooting you! She was also making jokes which helped make us all comfortable. The ceremony and reception pictures were just breathtaking! She captured how funny our officiant was, our special "I do" moment and of course our first kiss as husband and wife! During our reception, we had circus performers lead the guests in hula hooping and juggling... Laura was able to get some amazing action shots on the fly! Overall, Laura is the absolute best. She was the perfect photographer for our special day and I cannot imagine having someone else in her place! She is so talented, sweet, punctual and professional; all things you want and need in a photographer! We love her and will be hiring her in the future for family portraits!

Hello, congratulations on your engagement! So happy you've found me! Weddings are such a special time for you, the newly engaged couple and all of your family & friends. I want to celebrate your love and make it so you can relive it for years and years to come! I want you to see yourselves shining through your photos and not me, the photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision I made for our wedding was hiring Ashlee as our photographer! She got back to my emails quickly and communicated well throughout the time leading up to our wedding. Our pictures were the most important part for me. I was 100% confident in my decision simply from our engagement pictures Ashlee took. She actually got my husband to loosen up, smile, and have fun while taking pictures. Our wedding day was no different. She had us laughing and playing around, and she truly captured our love and fun. The entire wedding party and our parents kept saying how amazing Ashlee and her second photographer, Taylor, were. They both worked so well together and with our party. They captured all the groups of people I wanted, and all of the other images I wanted as well, such as the details of everything I made for the wedding (flowers, centerpieces, signs) and specific shots of us around the venue. Ashlee even captured moments I had no idea she was there for which I love. We got our pictures back really fast. All of them are gorgeous. I can't stop looking at them! They aren't just staged poses. They're fun, loving, and most importantly, real. Ashlee's pictures show your true personality and capture the moments you never want to forget for the rest of your lives. I can relive every part of that day thanks to Ashlee and her incredible photography. It'll be the best decision you make, too!

Hello! I'm a wedding photographer based in South Jersey. I take a candid and lifestyle approach when shooting, utilizing natural light and looking for those moments when my subjects are laughing rather than posing. I was married in the Spring of 2016 and I know wedding planning is both really fun and super stressful, and that the moment you see your photos is almost as special as the one when you walk down the aisle. That’s why I make it a goal to be the easiest vendor you’ll hire, and why I work hard to capture images that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. A wedding is one day, but your photos are forever.

The heart of photography is storytelling. I bring my experience as a photojournalist to tell your story. Each event is as unique as you are and the images reflect the genuine love you feel and people you care most about. It's my objective to capture your story by preserving the memories of how you felt on that special day. The power of photography lies in capturing a split second of a moment in time. I believe that the spontaneous moments are the foundation of any meaningful experience. I specialize in a candid and unobtrusive approach by focusing on the big and small moments, the interactions and relationships.

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

I found photography in my teens.  Photography became a hobby quickly and eventually my profession.   Lauren, my second photographer, and I have over 1000 weddings behind us.   I don't know what I would do if I wasn't a photographer.  I think I have developer fluid, or these days, ink in my veins. I am a family man, a parent, and a grandparent.  We have 2 dachshunds.  Ruby and Harley. AND I Love my Job!

John and Lauren were absolutely amazing! We didn’t have to think about a thing when it came to capturing our day. We had guests coming up to us telling us that they wished they knew about South Street for their own wedding! I highly recommend them!

Hi! My name is Herti. I’m originally from Albania where I first started doing photography and then moved to NY, that was about 5 years ago. It’s an incredible feeling being the one person your couple trusts with capturing moments of their life. That’s why I put a lot of thought in every wedding I shoot. I sit down with the couple before the wedding, talk to them and get to know them. So when the day of the wedding comes they know they have nothing to worry about regarding photography. I’m a strong believer on telling a story through photography and give everyone who looks at your pictures a glimpse of your love.

Thank you a lot Herti for capturing our elopement so beautifully and also agreeing to keep it a secret and not post anything until we told everyone else.

Debbie Gander Photography

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

There are always things you would do differently, but hiring Debbie Gander Photography is certainly not one of them. Debbie made us feel right at home from the moment we met her. She is professional, but also kind and personable. Our engagment shoot was perfect, and set our minds completely at ease for the big day. When our wedding day arrived, Debbie delivered with the most stunning pictures, some of which we never dreamed could be possible. We will certainly work with Debbie again, that is a certainty.

On the day of the wedding, their attention to detail and ability to capture all the special moments was truly impressive. The final photos exceeded our expectations - a simple wedding ceremony looked truly extravagant thanks to their expert skills.

Remember this is YOUR DAY! I am here to make your dreams come true, I am the friend, the planner, the assistant, the words of encouragement, and the calming energy you need. I am not just here for you on one day, I am here for you throughout the wedding planning process, that means together we will work on your timeline, finding the perfect location for your first look, and any small detail you want an opinion on. I want my brides to focus on the important things, like marrying the love of your life!

If you want to guarantee you'll have amazing images to look back on to fondly remember your engagement period and/or wedding, book Lindsey. She's professional, timely, communicative but above all, she'll make you feel comfortable in front of her camera. Highly recommend booking her for an engagement session before the wedding. We did, and that provided an excellent opportunity for us to meet her in person. By the time our wedding day came, it felt like a friend was there taking our pictures. If you're the type of person who gets worried about where to put your hands or how to turn your body to capture the right angle in pictures, trust that Lindsay has your back. She is wonderfully creative and thorough. Allow your search for wedding photographer to come to an end and book her with confidence. You won't regret it!

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

We were so fortunate to come in touch with Nithya through Zola! When I found out in early September that things fell through with a local photographer for my October wedding, I emailed 10 photographers on Zola, desperate to find out about their availability. I had a reply from Nithya the next morning, and after a wonderful chat, she became my new photographer! I loved her enthusiasm and how she talked about her work and the types of photos she wanted to capture that day. Many guests have mentioned how she was always in the background the entire evening, totally focused on her work. We found a gem in Nithya and we can't wait to look at her photos!

Barbara and I worked together on a small minimony for a client of ours last Spring and she was absolutely wonderful. As a fellow vendor, I love making new friends in the industry and Barbara was not only easy to work with but communicative after the wedding as well, offering to send me pictures of my flowers. Highly recommend her for all your photography needs!

Take it from us... marriage is not all sunshine and rainbows, but when looking back on photos and videos from your day, you'll remember the love you had from the beginning... not all the other "fluff." Being able to work together as a husband and wife team has been an amazing journey, but growing this company and establishing a trustworthy and talented group of creatives to serve our couples has become really important to us . We value the relationship you have and your love is all that matters. That's all that's left after the wedding anyway... and your photos and videos too of course.

Kristen and Christian and their team are wonderful!! From our engagement photos to the wedding day everything was just easy with them. They don’t bring crazy bulky equipment that gets in the way, we hardly even noticed they were there which was so nice when you just want to twirl around all night. The photos speak for themselves, they’re everything we hoped for, and we even got our sneak preview pics the next day which the family loved!!! Our wedding day was dark (December) and poured rain the whole time and yet the photos are crystal clear and oh so stunning. We chose Dearly Beloved because they do a great job in darker settings and they did not disappoint! To any bride in a twinkle lit setting, these are your photographers.

My name is Evelína, and I was born in Slovakia. Growing up, I found joy in nature, books, history, and fairytales, which still inspire my "less is more" approach to photography. I cherish castle ruins, forests, wildflower fields, and the emotions tied to folklore and romance. Now living in Northeast Pennsylvania's beautiful Poconos Mountains, I’m a mom of two amazing kids who helped me realize my passion for photography is more than a hobby—it's my calling. This vocation allows me to express my creativity and connect with others, making it the only job I'll ever want.

I knew immediately that I needed Evelína to be my photographer. Her work is so beautiful and everything I saw was exactly what I wanted. Working with Evelína and her team was an absolute pleasure. She communicates openly and consistently, answered all our questions, and truly delivered magic on our day. Almost a year later (!!) and all our friends and family STILL talk about how amazing, kind, and talented Evelína is, and how beautiful our photos are. I 100% recommend her, not only for her photography, but for her and her team’s phenomenal personalities. Not only will you love your photos, you’ll feel like the people behind the camera really want to make it magical! Truly they felt like longtime friends and everything was natural, lots of laughs and fun all around!
