We had Dragonfly Flowers host a flower arrangement class during my bachelorette party weekend & it was incredible. Laura hauled tons of gorgeous flowers and all the supplies we needed to perfect our arrangements up to our Airbnb. The girls and I walked away with insanely beautiful arrangements and a plethora of new tips and tricks for making arrangements on our own with grocery store flowers. This activity hands down was everyone’s favorite of the weekend. I highly recommend bringing Dragonfly Flowers in for any and all of your events. We are so excited to continue working with Laura and the Dragonfly Team for our wedding in a few months!

Hello, I'm Margaret. It's so nice to have you. I love to see love & take pictures. Perfect match to be an engagement and wedding photographer. I'm a lover of fine art and candid moments. My editing style is filled with true color photography to bring your photos to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Jamie Bodo Photography

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Jamie was recommended to us by a friend who had recently used her in their wedding—and we would 110% recommend Jamie too! She brings the utmost professionalism; from the first time we talked, she had already researched the venue we had chosen to get married at and was already prepared with questions and an understanding of the venue’s layout. Going through the wedding process can be a lot of chaos, but we knew from the start that we would never have to worry about Jamie! Throughout, she also showed so much excitement and passion for us as a couple from being excited about the colors we had chosen to her sheer enthusiasm on the day-of as we took our first look photos. Jamie is amazingly personable and was incredibly helpful at instructing us on where to be to stage the best moments and making us feel comfortable each stop of the way. Oh, and the pictures she took? They all came out absolutely PERFECT. We are so happy that we went with Jamie!

Momo Shot Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,399
  • Serves Watchung, NJ

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Our DJ company starts with vibing with our clients. We feel that is really really important. By taking the time to listen to your vision with a quick chat we can tell a-lot about each other and see if we are a match. Picky sometimes to a fault we realize every couple is not our couple and do not just book couples just to fill the calendar. Thats not fair to either of us. At the end of any event we usually are good friends and miss talking to each other. You wouldn't have it any other way.

Choosing The Hamilton Manor was the best choice for our wedding! The staff were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is truly beautiful, with a stunning ballroom, lovely cocktail area, and a charming barn that offered so much to our special day. Our coordinator Erin answered every question we had and assisted us with everything we asked, and Kristen, the bridal attendant, was extremely friendly and helpful in meeting our every need. We don't have a single complaint, as the team at The Hamilton Manor treated us so well and ensured all of our needs were attended to. The owner, Andre, was even present and took great care of us. We are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding at this wonderful venue.

Journalist and professional photographer/cinematographer in good standing since 1980 Member of the most prestigious wedding and event associations, Internationally and the States. Serving the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, with a level of excellence unmatched by our competitors.

I looked into several photographers, and the low budget ones were basically bad, and the good ones were thousands of dollars. Adorable time gave us top quality photos at a reasonable price. We went out to Robert Moses beach to shoot our engagement shot, it was easy to meet up and communicate with him. He was very professional, and it was a breeze to do business. The contract signing went without a hitch. Ive posted our engagement shoot photos so you can get a good idea of the quality. My moms an amateur photographer and she really likes them as well, which is surprising since she is very picky. I'll probably update this review when the wedding pictures come in.

Dear Heart Film + Portraits

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

Dan created a wedding video for my husband and I that we can look back on for years to come. Dan truly captured the feel of our wedding ceremony on the beach. He harmonized the ceremony with an artistic vision. Dan had a consultation with my fiancé and I prior to the wedding to a get to know what style we would like for the video. The result was spot on and brought myself and several of the people I showed the video to tears of happiness. The song that Dan chose went perfectly with each scene of the ceremony, as if he was telling our story through the video.

I cannot recommend Laura enough to photograph your special day! Laura was our wedding photographer this past June and was such a pleasure to work with. While in the process of picking a photographer, Laura and I chatted over Zoom and I was pleasantly surprised with how easy Laura was to talk to, as well as how organized she seemed with her planning. Leading up to the wedding Laura was very communicative and answered all my questions immediately. The day of the wedding she arrived right on time and was incredibly organized. Her second photographer, Bia, was also a pleasure to work with. She was professional and fun- the kids in our wedding party loved Bia and she was able to capture amazing pictures. My fiance and I were somewhat dreading all the group photos that a wedding entails, however Laura ran this process so smoothly we actually had fun taking the photos! We were blown away with the end results. The photos came out absolutely beautiful. Laura captured all the feelings of our special day in every one of her photos. We also received SO many photographs- quite impressive considering I barely even noticed Laura taking pictures while I was so wrapped up in the day. I have zero complaints and only wonderful things to say about Laura. I sincerely hope to work with her again one day!

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Watchung, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila. A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning! Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America. One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel. Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff. One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers. Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.

After years of designing and coordinating events for friends and family, Abby decided it was time to turn this passion into a business.

I had the pleasure of working with Pretty Posh Events for our wedding, and I can confidently say that their talent with color is truly unmatched. From the moment I told her about my color scheme, she was able to understand exactly what vibe we wanted and translated it into a stunning visual experience. They took our theme and colors and seamlessly blended them into every detail, from the florals to the table settings, lighting, and even the fabric drapes. The colors complemented each other perfectly, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere without ever feeling overwhelming. The way they used different shades of yellow throughout the venue brought depth and sophistication, while soft accents of blue provided balance and elegance. If you’re looking for a decorator who truly understands how to work with colors and can create an atmosphere that is both stunning and memorable, I highly recommend Pretty Posh. Their expertise in color coordination is a true gift, and I couldn’t be happier with the way they made our wedding day feel magical.

Hey, I’m Daniel. I’m a NY & NJ wedding photographer who incorporates fresh, contemporary techniques to create dramatic portraits for couples on their wedding day. The wedding industry is filled with incredible vendors who want nothing more than for you to have the epic wedding you’ve been dreaming of. But what if you don’t want just the classic and cookie-cutter things that this industry seems to offer? By understanding your needs and tailoring your wedding day coverage to you, I ensure that together we will create an experience that is just as fulfilling as the final image gallery.

Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.
