Joel was so wonderful to work with! He was very down to earth, easy to communicate with, and best of all, takes amazing photos! We hired Joel to take photography and videography of our wedding and we are both so so happy with the results. Joel met with us several times during the planning process in order to go through the rundown of the day with us, which helped relieved the stress of the process. The final pictures and video came back promptly afterwards, in such wonderful quality. Oh yeah, he also uses a drone with gives some of the most stunning views of the venue!

Diana and Korey Photo and Film 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,498
  • Serves South Orange, 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!

Kelechi was so sweet on the day of my wedding. I had her make slight tweaks to my makeup look from the trial I booked a few months prior, and she made the changes with no issues. My updo hairstyle matched the picture I sent her perfectly. I loved my hairstyle during my wedding! I will definitely use her again for any major events I go to in the future.

We found this band on YouTube, we were digging there to watch some videos of wedding bands, and we were lucky. I, my fiancé, and some family members, were searching for bands, so we found Loveday Band, everyone loved the video, so we contacted them. Marcel is a great guy, he's the manager, he listened to my vision for my wedding, and after just listening to me, he starts to put pictures in the air illustrating my vision, he is amazing. From planning the timelines throughout the year to the big day, he did everything as we expected. He takes care of everything, he put a pianist and a violinist to receive all my guests at Park Savoy entrance, everyone still sometimes commenting on how beautiful that was, he created such a perfect atmosphere from the beginning. Our ceremony had a professional violinist and a pianist, they made us feel as if we were in a royal castle, and during the cocktail we had his Jazz Trio Band, they were professional musicians and the band as well. The Band had a memorable performance, seeing everyone on the dance floor, and looking that dance floor completely full, was the best answer about this band, I still having compliments for the performance of this band, as they said, I had a party of my dreams, we were lucky to have Loveday band in our wedding, thanks again, Love, Mariah & Jerry

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.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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 look at photography as a window into some of the most important moments in the lives of my clients. I love life and consider myself blessed to capture memories and the celebrations of milestones. I live for the moments when I capture the glow of a mom to be, the innocence of newborns, the first time a groom sees his bride to be or the moment when grandma decided to lay it all out on the dance floor.

Aida Malik Photography was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Aida made everything easy, explaining all our options clearly so we could pick the perfect package for our needs. Her professionalism and pleasant disposition were a joy to work with on our special day. Aida has a keen eye for detail and selected amazing poses that showcased my bride and I, as well as our bridal party, in the best light. The quality of Aida's photography was truly exceptional, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories she captured that we will cherish forever. Aida was a wonderful addition to our wedding day and I highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented and experienced photographer.

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves South Orange, NJ

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Lauren and her team for her beautiful photography. Booking her was by far the best investment we made for our wedding day—Lauren is worth the splurge no matter your budget. We wanted to curate a very specific vibe for our wedding, and Lauren understood it immediately. That’s because she has the innate ability to capture moments that no one else even sees. She is a people person through and through, and you can tell in the way her pictures come out. What could be a stagnant portrait, Lauren can turn into a stunning piece of art that evokes not just a specific vibe and mood but also emotion. Also as someone who has some insecurities about being photographed, I was blown away by how beautiful I looked in her photos. I’m incredibly grateful for her eye and dedication to making those beautiful photos. Not only that, but being around Lauren is a joy. She is so good at making sure everyone is comfortable enough to be photographed—and even includes a complimentary engagement shoot to get familiar with her before the big day (which is also so thoughtful and smart!). We had a few wedding challenges (a gigantic bridal party with 16! bridesmaids! and in-laws who were meeting for the first time at the wedding to start with!), and Lauren made sure she knew what she was walking into beforehand to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible on the day of. And it really really did. As a queer wedding with two brides, it was also really important to both of us to feel like superstars on our special day, and Lauren delivered that in spades. When we told her we wanted to have two aisles and walk down simultaneously, she was more than game for the challenge—she was excited. Finally, beyond her delightful personality, thoughtfulness, and extreme talent—Lauren is responsible for the success of our wedding. She sent us a list of recommended vendors, and we went with most of them. It was such a relief to have vendors pre-vetted by someone who had worked with them multiple times, and each one turned out to be just as good as she said they were. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding, you will not be disappointed with Lauren!

The North Shore House holds a special place in our hearts- they helped make our wedding day the literal BEST DAY EVER. From start to finish, we couldn't have been happier! Emma and the rest of the staff were timely with communication, SUPER organized, helpful with details, and so attentive. Emma was truly a rockstar point person- we can't rave about her enough! The space speaks for itself: the outdoor space perfectly amplifies the natural beauty of the lake, and the indoor space is cozy, warm, and inviting- a perfect place to dance the night away! The food was amazing (must get the pistachio crusted lamb chops), and the wait staff was the most helpful. We have been to the restaurant several times before, so knew the food was delicious, but our guests couldn't stop mentioning how tasty everything was! Some bullet points of things we LOVED: -the hotel rooms are cozy, individual, and inviting, with space for all the hotel guests to chill and hang out -North Shore picked us up from my parent's lake house on the other side of the lake in their 2 pontoon boats, and we had a blast riding to the ceremony -everything was meticulously set up, from the beautiful white chairs to the signs we had made -Can't stress how beautiful the outdoor ceremony was -My husband and I scheduled 5 minutes alone together in the bocce ball quart after the ceremony during cocktail hour, and the staff had pre set a plate of hors d'ouvres and 2 cocktails there for us so we didn't miss any of the food -One of the waitresses told my husband and I at the start of the night that she was going to make sure we ate enough and drank enough water throughout the night- she was so sweet, and several times made sure we had cocktails and champagne. -The dance floor was big enough for all of our friends and family to dance- we were on the floor the entire night! - We used all of the North Shore House's preferred vendors (Platinum Band, Karen's Kreations, Orchard Street photography, Stocker Bus) and couldn't have been happier with their suggestions -We did an after party in the back bar- super fun! If you want a beautiful venue with picture perfect outdoor space, cozy indoor space, delicious food, super helpful personnel, and overall GREAT vibes, book North Shore House!

The staff took great care of our guests & could not stop raving about the service! Everything from the champagne arrival to dinner, to the end of the night treats - we were all blown away. The Bristol Room was the perfect size for our big group, we had plenty of dancing space.

My name is Jia, I am a lover of Seafood, Peking Duck, and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I also love to see people smile. I believe that all smiles are contagious, this is why I chose wedding photography: it magically makes me smile more. I love the warm sunlight and true emotions from both the bride and the groom. Now looking back, I am really thankful that clients appreciate my artistic vision more than my professional equipment. PS: Personally, I’d avoid the moon but I am more than happy to photograph you anywhere on earth. :)

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin to describe just how amazing Jia is as not only a photographer but a videographer as well. 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. You surely will not regret it!! attached are some screen shots from my wedding video because they are just too good not to share.

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.

I got the Photo / Video / DJ package deal with free selfie booth. They came an hour early to make sure everything was setup, I even got an extra hour of photos taken while the videographer was putting together his gizmo. He recommended Drawlines Studio for video which they did a fabulous job putting the video together. There DJ was perfect, had a speaker system for the ceremony and for the venue. The fog machine, sparklers and TVs really made my moments with my husband and dad special. The wedding album and parent albums are such good quality. Over all everything was perfect. Thank you for everything!!

If you're searching for a true professional, then look no further. Ryan was my most responsive vendor, getting back to me right away and always courteous and professional. My husband does not enjoy getting photos taken but he agrees that Ryan made the process as painless for him as possible and the results are STUNNING. We couldn't recommend him more!!

David’s Country Inn exceeded our expectations from beginning to end! After visiting multiple venues, the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by its charm and knew it was the perfect choice for us. Opting for a Thursday wedding turned out to be a fantastic decision! On our special day, the staff was exceptional, the food was delicious and served promptly, and the cocktail hour was filled with all our selected dishes, while the bar staff efficiently managed the crowd. They also have a fantastic selection of preferred vendors! Our event coordinator, Kristian, along with Maitre'Ds Brenda and Brandon, were simply outstanding! Their communication, both via email and on the day itself, was seamless. Everything unfolded even better than I had envisioned! I did encounter a decor hiccup with the arch behind my sweetheart table, which my husband had crafted. On the wedding day, I was trying to adjust it when Brenda noticed my struggle. She immediately stepped in, reassured me, and took charge of the situation. Thanks to her, the arch turned out beautifully, just as I had hoped, and I was so relieved! I truly don’t know what I would have done without her help. Choosing DCI for our wedding was the best decision we could have made, and our day was absolutely flawless! We wholeheartedly recommend them!

We had the best day of our lives at the Madison Hotel! We actually found them through Zola, having never heard of them before. When we toured, we fell in love with the Conservatory, which is ultimately where we had our ceremony and reception. The day was amazing - the food was delicious (and there was so much of it!), the hotel was beautiful, and it was convenient having our guests onsite for all activities (like our after party). I only deducted one star due to communication; I felt like most of the communication was driven by us, such as scheduling our final venue walkthrough. Everyone was very helpful, but I would have liked a bit more communication as a type A planner. Other than that, we couldn’t have asked for a better celebration of our love.
