Jenelle Kappe Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,575
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to our wedding, she has made the entire experience stress-free and relaxed. Her calm and chill vibe helped keep everything low-pressure, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment of our wedding day. Jenelle is so accommodating and went above and beyond the entire day/night whether it was helping with my gown, the Groom’s boutonniere or capturing photos of us and our family in the rain. Her photography is breathtaking, capturing the emotion and romance of our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so grateful to have worked with Jenelle and cannot recommend her enough!

Sophie Gabriella Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

I believe there is beauty in everything. From magnificent sunsets, to even something as small as a cell. I guess capturing beauty is what really drew me to photography. The opportunity to freeze a moment in time, the little (and big), BEAUTIFUL moments... and be able to come back to them by just looking at a picture... It's truly amazing when you think about it... I enjoy photography, art, cooking, music, and the outdoors (when it's warm). But most of all, I love spending time with my Creator. I'm just running the race to my final destination.

Sophie and Yelena are the absolute best duo you could possibly hire for your wedding day. Not only is the product absolutely stunning (and I only have highlights so far!), but they emcee your wedding day in the most productive, professional way. Yelena and Sophie became family members within the first hour of the day. They kept the entire day running smoothly, made us feel so comfortable and loved, and took such care and time with our family and friends. We have two very young kids, and they were PHENOMENAL with them. They worked perfectly with other vendors, with our coordination team, and venue. They knew who our most important guests were, and truly, never left my side the whole night to make sure every moment was captured. I truly felt they were apart of our family. I cannot express how wonderful our experience has been from engagement shoot through to the last moments of our wedding day. If you are hiring a photographer for your wedding, or for any reason, look NO FURTHER than Sophie Gabriella Photography. You will be blown away.

I made a list of all of the things that were most important to us about the ceremony (toes in the sand), the reception look and feel (outdoors and laid back) and what it would be like to work with the venue and the coordinators and the other vendors (easy and detailed). We searched thoroughly because we wanted a place that would deliver a nearby location for a whole weekend. The Deauville Inn was ideal and working with Judy was perfect. Judy guided me through all of the details, was responsive and in touch all the way -- giving me the tools that I needed to make decisions, including great vendor recommendations. Our day was perfect -- and I remember every moment including the entire ceremony (thank you to Judy for telling me to breathe before you sent me on my way!)

From the beginning, we were won over by Tommy’s friendly and positive attitude. Even before booking, he took the time to get to know us and that relationship made every step in our wedding planning process easier and more fun. On an absolutely frigid day last January, we had a blast at our engagement shoot and the shots were phenomenal! We knew we were in for a treat on our wedding day, and Tommy delivered in spades. His positive presence kept the mood light while we set up shot after shot, which made a long process much more enjoyable for our families and wedding party. They were singing his praises all day! He even finished our shot list ahead of schedule. We received the photos quickly, and we can say they are absolutely gorgeous. He has given us the ultimate keepsakes from our very happiest day, and we are so grateful.

Five starts for Will at WV Productions! Will was such a pleasure to work with for our rehearsal dinner and on our big day. He was professional and worked so well with our photographer and other vendors. He was able to capture drone footage across all of our locations throughout the day that were absolutely stunning. We woke up the day after our wedding to the next day edit ready to watch. It’s my favorite way to re-live our day over and over again. He did such a good job at capturing all the moments so beautifully in a few short minutes. Our reception didn’t have the typical format so we gave speeches the night before at our rehearsal. Will was able to capture speeches and photos from that night that tied in so well with our video. We were so lucky to have Will be apart of our special day, we could not recommend him enough.

Hi! I am a photographer who was born and raised down on the Jersey Shore, and I want to be able to help my couples capture their most precious memories. I've always loved keeping a camera on hand and photographing anything and everything, to the point where I had collections of memory cards from family events to just walking around my hometown. I want everyone to enjoy themselves and be able to look back on the photos and feel that same amount of joy that they felt on their day the same way i look back on my own photos. There's so many little things that happen, and I am here to help the memories fly!

Maureen Dougan Photography was absolutely the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. Their communication was amazing from start to finish - they kept me calm the whole day and had such great direction. Maureen and her staff were professional, friendly and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of their work is top-notch, and our pictures came out amazing!

I love hanging out with my kids, beach combing for really neat shells, cuddling with my dog who just so happens to be named Princess Fiona after the movie Shrek, and being an amazing wife to my husband while bringing joy to peoples lives through professional photography. I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

I can't say enough great things about L Studio! I've worked with L Studio as a vendor and as a client. Their expert team of stylists are amazing and do everything from hair coloring to make up. They offer consultations and hair trials before your wedding to make sure everything is perfect for your big day. They travel to your getting ready location to provide on site services the morning of your wedding and make sure all the details are perfect before you start taking pictures. L Studio takes great pride in making sure all their clients look and feel their best. If you choose L Studio as your wedding stylist you will not be disappointed!

Since Willow Creek opened in 2013, I've always said this would be the most beautiful venue for a wedding. 6.3.23 I had my wedding at Willow Creek and it was more perfect then I could have imagined it all those years. The venue is obviously stunning, getting the entire grounds on the whole day to take pictures gave us time to take the most amazing pictures. From the beautiful vineyards, to the owners love for colorful landscaping, wood beams, leather couches, imported chandeliers, and pops of color throughout, this venue offers picture perfect scenery no matter where you are on the property. It is also a short drive to the beach, where we had our first looks and then had the rest of our pictures at the winery. We rented their Rose Room for an hour or two which was a great spot for the wedding party to hang and everyone to freshen up before the ceremony. We had our ceremony at the wine tasting building, which definitely makes you timeline a lot tighter, but Willow Creek has preferred vendors that are experts in working with the wineries timelines and will make sure that everything is ready to go by your start time. Hamilton is absolutely amazing. She is a quick responder to all questions and is so pleasant to work with. She made the stressful process of wedding planning a lot easier. Our guest raved about the food (the beef wellington hors d'oeuvre was a crowd favorite). And the party favors that come with your package are little wine bottles, which of course, none were left behind. Bonus: it's pet friendly through cocktail hour so we had our pup in the wedding! Willow Creek is a dream wedding venue and you wont be disappointed working with them for your big day.
