Cappy Hotchkiss Photography

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Newark, NJ

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cappy Hotchkiss many times through the years and am always blown away by her upbeat energy and enthusiasm that she carries throughout the wedding day. Couples love working with her. She is professional, charming, a great sense of humor and her work is stellar. Her photographs are candid and emotionally stirring. Most importantly, they will warm your heart.

Timothy Anderson Jr Photography

Asbury Park, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Newark, NJ

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure to work with Tim for our wedding! He has such an amazing vision for absolutely stunning pictures! Wedding photos are one of the most important aspects of your big day, and his shots were nothing short of spectacular! His focus and attention to detail puts him way above the rest. We can’t wait to work with him in the future for other major life events. Thank you for your amazing work. We HIGHLY recommend Tim

Carrie Kizuka Photography, LLC

Shillington, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Newark, NJ

I’m a photographer, a mom, a wife, a snowboarder, a surfer, a roller coaster enthusiast, a college instructor, and a former mechanical engineer. I recently earned my Ph.D. in Education (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward most of the time I'm in public, and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to be paired with Carrie for our engagement shoot. We were even luckier for her to do our wedding photos. Carrie will literally get on her hands and knees to get the best shot for you. She made the day or so fun and stress free which was so helpful with my nerves! She is one of the most creative people we know and I couldn’t be more happier with our pictures. Could not recommend her more!

Trust and comfortability make the dynamics between the client and the photographer create magic. Like looking for the perfect pair of shoes to an outfit. It makes you look great, feel confident, and represent your style.

I can't say enough about Charlie's exceptional photography service. When we arrived at the Manhattan courthouse, he went above and beyond to ensure the process went smoothly. Charlie was first in line, waiting to check us in for our appointment, setting the tone for a smooth and stress-free session. His calming presence was especially appreciated by my husband, who felt at ease throughout the entire experience. Charlie's talent behind the lens is remarkable. Not only did he capture stunning photos of us inside the courthouse, but he also took the time to explore the surrounding area, capturing the bustling energy of Manhattan during this beautiful moment in our lives. His kindness was evident in every interaction, putting me and my husband at ease, resulting in beautiful pictures. I highly recommend Charlie as a photographer who not only delivers a stunning gallery but also goes above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience for his clients. Thank you, Charlie, for capturing our special day so beautifully!!

Hi! My name is Corrina and I am an experienced documentary wedding photographer based out of the Philly suburbs. I have photographed hundreds of couples up and down the East Coast. I take a photojournalistic approach to your images so that you can be fully present to live each moment authentically with the people that matter the most to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Corrina was our engagement and wedding photographer. I really do not enjoy having my photo taken. Corrina made our posed engagement photo shoot a breeze and was more than happy to travel to multiple locations. She was fantastic with our 5 year old daughter and made us feel completely comfortable and in our element. As a creative person myself I had a vision and theme of what I wanted our engagement photos to say about us as a couple and family. Corrina not only saw my vision but also added to it. After seeing how amazing our engagement photos turned out we knew we wanted her as our Wedding Photographer. Corrina had posted online that she was looking to shoot a small wedding completely in the photojournalism style. I loved her vision. It was exactly what I didn’t know I wanted for my wedding day. The only problem was our wedding was NOT small lol. Corrina was kind enough to extend the offer to us anyway. It was THE BEST DECISION I’VE MADE! She got it all. We had no posed pictures so we were truly able to immerse ourselves in our wedding day and enjoy every single moment. She captured all the special, tender, emotional, happy, crazy moments. She never missed a beat. She was a fly on the wall and still managed to make me feel like the most important and beautiful person in the room. She connected and vibed with all our guests in the most wonderful way. Again, our pictures completely blew us away! She has an amazing eye behind the camera and her attention to detail when editing created the most stunning way to look back on the best day of our lives. If you are looking for a photographer to classically capture any of your special moments or jump outside of the box and get a little creative Corinna is your girl!!!!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

It was awesome working with Eugene!! The results were exactly not what we intended or planned, they were actually MUCH BETTER. My husband and I had a set place, but due to unforeseen events, we had to sort of improvise And change our photography setting, but thankfully Eugene has an eye for these things, and found much more beautiful spot! My husband and I love the fact that Eugene was not rigid, but he was very flexible with us which help us be more comfortable with him. If you were doubting, that’s fine, but not with Eugene Krasnaok. Your time and money is safe with him.

I am going to provide you with beautiful images full of emotion that will also bring you right back to that moment when you view them.

Each wedding inspires me to tell your story through photography. I also take great pride in the editing process. I truly enjoy turning the photographs into genuine works of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Melissa photographed our May 2022 wedding, and I would definitely recommend her! We first contacted Melissa after a friend referred us to her.  Melissa was consistently communicative, agile, and punctual throughout the entire process.  Her vibe aligned exactly with what we were seeking, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s both modern and timeless.   The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product.  Melissa’s eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with.  We have the most beautiful and unrushed photos from our magical, big day.  If you’re looking for a cheap photographer, Melissa definitely isn’t the one for you. But if you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further.  Plus, she offers something that not all photographers can – true artistry.  Our wedding photos are completely unique to us and our event, we framed a print that hangs over our couch and receives frequent compliments. We also purchased a fine art album which is quite simply a work of art. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Melissa Marx Photography!

Some of our wedding day pictures are simply breathtaking and could easily be on a magazine cover! We are thankful that our amazing day was captured so beautifully!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd been following Nina Marin on Instagram for a number of years so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who to reach out to to capture my engagement shoot and elopement. As someone who cringes at being in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and didn't hesitate to pose us or adjust our awkward hands/faces/etc. The pictures we got back felt like us — Nina was able to capture not only the visual aspects of our special day, but also the sheer bliss. I'm so grateful to have worked with such an easygoing and trustworthy photographer.

We’ve all been in front of someone’s iPhone for a photo. You might not think anything of it until you see it later & you don’t look anything like yourself. My mom loves to snap family photos, so I’ve been there. It's terrible for confidence & it's stressful when someone at the party says “let’s take a photo!” I get it. That’s why I do this–for you to see photos of yourself that actually looks right & you see your own lit up smile, you see yourself in that moment and simply how happy you were. I photograph weddings for that freedom & relief that your creativity & mine are working together to craft authentic, artful photographs for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenn is...amazing. I don't think there is anyone out there more awkward in front of a camera than me. Yet she still managed to capture the most beautiful wedding and engagement photos! And that’s because she doesn’t just capture photos - she captures moments. She will help you feel at ease, help you figure out your own style, and she will be HONEST when you request photos about how realistic they are. Jenn sees the world through rose colored glasses, and I can’t think of a better trait for a photographer.

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond! Bliss Photos is an inclusive wedding photographer that creates romantic & timeless photos with a journalistic approach. As a wedding photographer for 10+ years, my favorite photo to capture is when a couple is completely in their own world and not even aware of the camera. I strive for that photo EVERY time. Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

Thank you, Melissa, for our beautiful wedding photos! Melissa did an amazing job communicating with us, building a timeline, and wrangling family members for portraits on our wedding day. Having amazing photos of our wedding was very important to me and I am happy we trusted Bliss to provide them. The team was friendly, positive, and helpful and our photos are high quality. I also appreciate that we have a mixture of posed pictures and candid moments.

Before we even met, Ryan and Tatiana had 10 years experience as wedding photographers, and Ryan had been named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World by the two top industry magazines, American Photo and Rangefinder. We didn't mean to fall in love with the person whose style and experience fit most neatly with each others', but it happened. Now we manage our business and creative passion with our other passion … parenting our Tasmanian Devil of a toddler, Gavin, in our happy place of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

Ryan and Tatiana are amazing photographers. They are geniuses at capturing candid moments and taking action shots along with posed photos. My husband and I don’t feel like natural models behind the camera, but they provided coaching during our engagement photo shoot. We knew that there would be plenty of great photos of the two of us on our special day and we asked that they focus on getting great shots of as many of the guests as they could. They totally delivered! And despite managing to take snaps of over 100 guests, no one really noticed that they were there. It was like they were photography ninjas. They really managed to capture the joy and the fun of the day. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you to Ryan and Tatiana for everything!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Emma was absolutely amazing, from the moment we enquired right through to the end; she was great to deal with, very friendly and helpful, provided great advise and made everyone feel at ease! Highly professional, talented, organised and a great communicator, with an eye for detail! She captured all those special moments without being intrusive or even knowing that she was there. My husband is not a fan of the camera, Emma worked with it, didn’t make it a problem and captured some fantastic candid photos! We are so incredibly happy with our photos and highly recommend Emma to anyone who is wanting a professional wedding photographer!

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

From the very beginning it was a pleasure dealing with yensy. He was thoughtful, insightful and full of ideas. He came early for the wedding day, and took fantastic photos. He delivered beautiful previews the day after and we were absolutely in love with them. Would definitely recommend him.

Hello, my name is Daniel Martinez and I thank you for taking interest in my work! Photography and I go way back! I discovered my passion for it when I was fourteen years old. From the first moment I picked up a camera, I knew that this career was the one that I wanted to pursue. I have worked within the wedding photography industry for 10 years and have experience working with publications such as ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. My Photography style is documentary based as I aim to capture natural candid moments.

Danny was such a pleasure to work with. He checked off all boxes of the traditional shots of us and the whole wedding party, and portrait shots of us during first look's, but also captured moments and journalistic style shots throughout the night that really showed our personalities. When we showed interest in doing "light painting" effect photos for some of the fun late-night shots, he dove right in. The first set of photos that he delivered to us the day after the wedding were awesome - I can't wait to see all of the final shots. Danny is an artist and it's clear in his work.

I never dreamed of being a wedding photographer. I thought it was all the same, you show up to a venue, photograph different couples in the same poses every weekend and after is all said and done never see them again. However one day while I was taking photographs of people I loved and cared about it clicked! I could photograph couples who I truly got along with, who just want to have a great time on their wedding day. Couples who want to be themselves. Couples who I could consider friends, not clients. I’ve built my business on this premise and enjoy it every single day.

Lily was recommended to me from my sister whose daughter was a flower girl in a wedding that Lily shot a few years ago. I perused her website and her instagram and was so impressed by her style of photography. Once we connected, though, I knew VERY quickly that Lily was exactly the type of person that I wanted to be leading the charge/in my corner on such an important day! I cannot express enough how incredible Lily was leading up to our wedding- between the engagement shoot to answering my many questions via email incredibly fast-Lily was always there for us. When it came time for our wedding day, I knew we were in the absolute best hands between her and her second photographer, Joe. Lily was early to my parent's house that day and I felt immediately relieved to see her! She led the charge between setting up the most creative backdrops for photos to making sure we were sticking to the schedule, and offering helpful advice throughout the whole day. Lily and Joe were in constant communication which was so helpful because he was with the groom and groomsmen at a different location prior to our first look. It made me so relieved to know Joe was doing the same thing for the guys! Both Lily and Joe helped us and our families with countless things throughout the day-from putting on the boutonnieres to bustling my dress once we got to the reception! They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Lily is just an all-around awesome person to be around, who also happens to take the most incredible photographs. We just got our full gallery back and it is unbelievable how much she was able to capture throughout our day. I couldn't believe some of the specific shots they got because I had no recollection of Lily or Joe being remotely nearby! They both somehow moved throughout our ceremony and reception without ever being intrusive or too blatantly obvious. That must be such a hard balance to achieve as a wedding photographer, but Lily dominated at it. To sum it up, looking for a wedding photographer who is incredibly talented and who is equally as awesome? You found her!

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

We highly recommend JENNY for any photo needs. She’s amazingly detailed and makes you feel like she’s your best friend. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot and she made it a breeze! 15/10 would recommend!

Jess Spoll Review We cannot recommend Jess enough. She’s an absolute treasure of a human being who is now one of our good friends, in addition to being a magnificently talented photographer. Her documentary-esque style paired with her stark contrast and beautiful, earthy colors make her work some of the most visually stunning images we have ever had the pleasure of laying our eyes on. If you’re getting married, we would absolutely, 1000% recommend Jess Spoll. Sure, you could hire some other wedding photographer that captures all the smiles and sunshine and happiness that your day brings, and you’d be satisfied. However, if you want to relive your wedding day in all its beautiful, loving glory, hire Jess Spoll. She has this way of telling a story through her images in a way that communicates a sense of ease, sincerity, and above all else, warmth. She snapped moments that we didn’t even think would be moments worth capturing, and yet managed to make those particular pictures some of our favorites from our wedding day. We want to take her with us everywhere we go and have her document our lives-. Jess was extremely easy to work with. I am usually a pretty shy person in front of the camera, so for her to get me to naturally come out of my shell was nothing short of amazing. Working with Jess literally made us want to get more pictures done despite having already gotten married. We highly recommend her and cannot speak highly enough about her style, professionalism, and dedication.

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

It’s so easy to live our lives, missing the sweetest moments because how quickly they fly by. Those sweet in-between moments that can be so easily missed are my favorite to capture. Whether it be your candid smiles, the tears shed on your wedding day, or your beautiful family laughing together, I find joy in capturing you being YOU! I love photography because through it, I’m able to share pieces of your story and create lasting memories.

Joy made us feel special and relaxed in the midst of a hectic day. She captured our love so beautifully and delivered photos that looked effortless and natural, which is exactly what we wanted!

I wanted pictures from my wedding that I could frame and hang on my walls, and less than a month after getting our pictures back, I already have three Smallwoods hanging on my walls.

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

Hello my name is Chris and I am the Owner/Lead Photographer here at Christopher Dennis Photography. Growing up I was never one to be found in front of the camera, but always behind it. I loved being able to capture the special moments in my family’s lives, from birthdays to graduations and everything in between. Now I strongly believe that every moment captured is uniquely special and deserves the upmost attention to detail. I treat each client as if they were my own family and strive to give them the best experience possible from initial contact to product delivery and beyond.

Chris was an amazing photographer who made my husband and my special day that much more memorable! He was kind, patient, and his work is amazing. Highly recommend him for any special occasion you want to remember forever!

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose have a very unique style and a very good eye for art and wedding photography. There are no many like him... He is someone who is always giving 101% to his couples at the same time that he give them space to fully enjoy their wedding day. He is very easy to work with, fun, super profesional, understanding and caring. In my experience of all this years working with Jose, the most important to him is that the clients have an amazing experience working with him and that the final product that he delivers is impecable. I am lucky to work with him and and I can assure that you will be happy to have him as your wedding photographer.

WE'RE MARIA AND RICARDO, WE ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THE HEART BEHIND THE PICTURES. WE ARE BASED IN NYC AND TAKE WEDDING COMISSIONS ALL AROUND THE US AND ABROAD BUT WE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN AND PUERTO RICO MARIA IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL THE IMAGES ARE TAKEN AND EDITED BY HER. RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I worked with Ann, as the DJ for a wedding she photographed. As someone who views every wedding guest & vendor as content contributors to the photo album, I believe the photographer's job is the most important. So I reached out to Ann to let her know that I would have a table for her, so she didn't have to keep getting down on the floor all night, as photographer's tend to do. She was very receptive to my communications, and always professional. The photos she sent me of the reception were top notch. I would enjoy working with Ann again, and I highly recommend her.

We were worried our pictures weren’t going to be what we expected BUT let me tell you… Michelle was able to heard our large bridal party quickly and efficiently so we didn’t miss any pictures.

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing a photographer Meghan is. We unfortunately, did not have such a great wedding photographer the first time and had to completely “remake” our wedding ceremony photos almost a year later. It was one of the most stressful things to encounter, however, Meghan totally stepped in and saved the day. From her bubbly and fun personality, to her professionalism and unwavering support of us and our wedding party, she took away all the stresses that came with having to re-do our wedding photos. We never worried if she was getting the right pictures or our vibe as a couple and she honestly made it EXTREMELY fun taking all our pictures. We had our ceremony and reception broken into two different events, unfortunately due to covid and we loved her so much we hired her for our reception as well! Not only did she capture photograph’s that will last a life time, but we really felt like we made a life long friendship with her. We cannot recommend her enough and if you are still wondering if you should reach out, please do!

Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

We received all of our photos back and couldn't believe how beautiful they are! We love them all and it was so hard to pick what ones went in our album. Every single part of our day was captured so perfectly. We get to relive the day every time we look at them! Alex made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend an engagement session as well- this was great practice and a lovely chance to get to know Alex. Extra perk- great pics for our save the dates! Alex was also just a huge help throughout the entire day. If she is not photographing you, she is behind the scenes assisting to make sure every detail is perfect. She goes above and beyond her role.

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!

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!

I found my passion for art while growing up surrounded by horses in a small town in Brazil. The shapes, textures, and colors of the horses always have been inspiring to me. I’ve always wanted to recreate them, but was never really able to. Honestly, my painting/drawing skills were and still are terrible, and that’s when photography came up in my life. I would create imaginary cameras out of my toys and would ‘photograph’ the horses and my neighbors. Photographing people became my passion and then evolved into my work in editorial and wedding photography.

I can't post enough praise about Gui from 98 Wedding Co, and I'm SHOCKED there's not more reviews here. We recently had our engagement shoot with him and let me tell you-- we were blown away by the photos. We were looking for an editorial style that screamed NYC, and Gui captured it perfectly. All my family and friends were amazed at the shots and could not stop raving about how well he captured us and our vision. It looks like a spread out of Vogue! My fiance and I are also pretty awkward in front of the camera, and Gui's calm and relaxed presence was a breath of fresh air. He knew all the right spots and best places to get the perfect lighting and framing, a true expert in his craft! I can't wait to see how perfectly he captures our wedding and will be sure to update this review when the photos are inevitably stunning as well. Thank you Gui!!!

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!

“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

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.

I'm a photojournalist that specializes in documenting unique moments instead of making my subjects pose for me - that means more pictures that truly tell a story. I capture all those wonderful moments that are going to make the memories come alive long after the wedding day has passed.

Andrew is your photographer for the special day!! My husband and I loved working with Andrew and neither of us had high expectations for wedding photos as our wedding event was very non-traditional. Andrew was given an artistic freedom to take photos in how he thought was best and the photos turned out to be awesome! Also, having candid photos of guests vs. staged was the best tip I saw on the internet and seeing guests enjoying the time is priceless. What I loved when choosing a photographer was that Andrew's editing style is very natural and minimal, and photos are amazing!

Nithya Sharma Photography

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Newark, NJ

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.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

Debbie Gander Photography

5.0

Poughkeepsie, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Newark, 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!

Working alongside Debbie was a joy! I was a videographer to a wedding she was photographing. To the couple, Debbie was patient, calm, and professional throughout the day, and helped the couple not only stay at ease during some stressful moments, but also enjoy their wedding day amidst the hiccups. To myself and the other vendors, Debbie was collaborative, creative, and flexible to each of the fellow vendors specific needs for the day. Her photos from the wedding were authentic, timeless, and stunning! I would highly recommend Debbie Gander Photography to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding!

Inspire Me Imagery

5.0

Ocean, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,399
  • Serves Newark, NJ

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones! Thank you Lauren for making our day even more special and for capturing some great moments for us to cherish! Hire these guys you will not regret it!

Blue Jar Photo

Circleville, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Newark, NJ

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.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!

New York, NY

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Newark, NJ

I’m into spending all my time at a beach every chance I get, having my nose stuck in a book and if there were no biological consequences, I’d be eating chocolate and drinking tequila all day. I’m half Indian and half Chinese and multilingual (I speak Bahasa, Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese). I was born and raised in Malaysia, did a little stint in Japan, attended law school and landed New York City.

Senshi feels like a good friend on your wedding day with an expensive camera - a photographer friend who actually knows what she's doing and expertly captures those sweet, little, happy moments with breathtaking photos. You'd be lucky to have her as your photographer aka memory documentarian! She not only guides you if you're uncomfortable in front of the camera, she delivers a sneak peek gallery almost right away so you can gush over all the feels of your wedding day. She's an absolute pro - personal, fun-loving, kind, and talented!

  • Serves Newark, NJ

The key to our service is investing in making your wedding day experience great. With this service in mind, we can create beautiful visual storytelling that is singular for you. Our name, Ein photo , embodies that mission. Eins (pronounced [aɪ̯ns]) means one in German, so Ein Photo means one photo. One has many meanings to it, the first, the best, but we look at it as the only one. One couple, with one story, told by one series of photos.

We met with several photographers and knew we wanted Tim and his team to be our photographer after our first meeting. My husband and I both don't really like having our pictures taken and thought our engagement photoshoot session was going to be filled with uncomfortable awkward poses and smiles. We were so wrong! Tim made us feel comfortable and easily directed us when needed. It ended up being a really fun hour and we loved how natural we looked in all of our pictures! For our wedding, Tim and his team arrived on time and captured all of our key moments. They were so efficient and easy to work with the entire day (and throughout this entire process)! I wasn't stressed at all and we LOVE how all of our pictures came out! Thank you SOO much Tim and Joseph! Ein Photography is the BEST and a must for your wedding day!!

Michelle Lynn Weddings

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Newark, NJ

Hi there! I’m Michelle, the wedding photographer behind Michelle Lynn Weddings. I love authentic, timeless, and joyful photographs, and I’m drawn to photographing weddings with a mix of romantic, natural portraits and a photojournalistic style. I have an easygoing, go-with-the-flow & positive personality that my clients find very calming and reassuring.

Michelle was phenomenal from the start. Before booking we met up at a Panera to see if we had the same idea for what was important in a photographer. Her packages were reasonably priced and included an engagement session. I never thought I'd want one but boy was I glad to have one. We were able to get comfortable posing in front of a camera and we also learned what poses we liked and what ones we really didn't like. Michelle quickly got us our engagement photos. We were able to view and download them from her website! On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her 2nd shooter were both on time and professional, but since we had the engagement shoot it felt like we were seeing friends again. She made sure to get the shots that I had requested but also captured the details I didn't even think of. After the wedding Michelle again quickly got our photos to us online but then also sent us a beautiful package with a flash drive that included the engagement shoot and some prints as well. Michelle even took the time for us to look through and find some additional photos of my husbands grandfather after he passed away. She is truly amazing. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was spectacular through the entire process. If you want an amazing photographer and wonderful human then she is your girl!

Alessandra Lee Photography

Eagleville, PA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Newark, NJ

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

Photography by Fabienne

Lawrenceville, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,499
  • Serves Newark, NJ

First and foremost, I care about capturing your vision. Fabienne has been passionate about photography and capturing moments of beauty long before she officially started her business. Years ago, a friend asked Fabienne to photograph her intimate backyard wedding. In doing so, she discovered that she could share her passion and talents with the world. That same year she launched her business shooting weddings, and later expanded to newborns and families after the birth of her daughter. Additionally, she has over 10 years experience in commercial photography.

Fabienne is a true artist and a true professional. She photographed my wedding, and we've worked together on many photography projects since then as well. Before planning my wedding, I didn't think that choosing a great wedding photographer was super important for me, and didn't think it would be a top priority. I was wrong! I can't believe how much I treasure my gorgeous wedding photos. Fabienne knows how to make every shot beautiful, and she's inventive and creative in her approach. Plus, she really understands the logistical challenges of a wedding and knows how to make the process as stress-free as possible. She listens to what you want, and she'll make sure that you get every photo your heart desires.

My wedding photography philosophy is super simple - keep it fun, keep it natural and keep it YOU. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have shot well over 300 weddings. I'm a lover of candid photos, but also know the importance of formal photos as well, so I provide a good mix of both traditional and photojournalistic styles. I approach wedding photography with a personal touch, understanding the depth of love and the significance of moments both big and small. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect the uniqueness of YOU and tell your love story.

one of the absolute best decisions we made when we got engaged was booking Allison for our wedding. She is one of the kindest people, and made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. our bridal party and families also loved working with her and our photos are STUNNING. the turnaround time on our photos shocked us in the best way possible - she had our whole album to us less than a month after the wedding. she felt like a friend and made our day so seamless. we couldn't recommend her more - book right away if you're thinking about it!!!

Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley, but will gladly travel wherever your love story takes you. My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

I had the pleasure of working with Brea on a recent bridal photoshoot. She was not only lovely to work with but she delivered stunning photos in record time! I wish I could get married again so I could hire Brea. I'll definitely be recommending her to my clients and I can't wait to get the opportunity to work with her again!
