We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

I would highly recommend NJ wedding studio for wedding photographers! We couldn't be more happy with our photos and how natural they look! The two photographers, Mike and Irene, kept the photos going to make sure we got all the family photos but that we also had time to enjoy and relax before the ceremony. All of the shots were relaxed and fun. They listened to everything we wanted and captured great photos during the reception without people even noticing they were around! It was exactly what we were looking for. I personally don't like a lot of photos and Mike did an excellent job at managing the photos and making them fun through out the day, knowing you need to take a lot!

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

We are BLOWN AWAY. Completely magical. I am generally not a photo person, but I’m thrilled. Christopher was so calm and professional, and the final results were well organized and easy to share with our family and friends. It's highly impressive given that he barely asked us to pose- we enjoyed the night in full and somehow had all these amazing results (including of our family & friends dancing!)

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had some emergency medical crises that occurred right before our wedding, that greatly affected my ability and stamina for both wedding activities and photos, as I was recovering from major surgery. He worked together with my husband to edit our planned photo sched so that I wouldn’t have to focus on that. Justin and his assistant/trainee for the day, Scott, literally went so above and beyond. All of our guests were commenting on how devoted and professional they were, and how Justin specifically was as on top of things as the venue coordinator. A lot of things had to be changed due to my situation and the rain. The photos looked so good and I’m so happy with how the day turned out, which Justin was a big part of making happen. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone.

Emily photographed our wedding in Brooklyn in Nov 2023. We had a small and somewhat unconventional wedding - at one of our favorite bars, with dinner at a restaurant just up the street - so we know we wanted a photographer who understood the vibe we were going for. We had an immediate connection with Emily, and she was SUCH a pleasure to work with. She worked with us in advance to plan out locations, make a mood board, and time things during the day of - the latter of which was VERY helpful. The photos themselves were everything we could have hoped for, and Emily made it easy to organize and share them, and to make prints and albums. She is super responsive, professional and easy to work with, and I can't recommend her enough!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

We booked Stephanie to photograph our wedding, which was initially due to take place in June of 2020. After COVID-19 hit we decided to postpone and eventually cancelled the wedding. We'd waited a year and a half and decided to take the City Hall route. Through the entire process, Stephanie was professional, flexible, and extremely accommodating. On short notice, she happily agreed to join us at city hall for our wedding photos and also act as witness. Stephanie showed up the morning of our wedding ready to trek through the snow and get all the best photos. She photographed our walk and train ride to City Hall. We felt comfortable and at ease while she took our photos in spite of our discomfort in front of the camera. Her photos came out great and we couldn't be happier with our choice to hire her for our wedding.

We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog!

Can't wait to meet you!

My husband and I are not really into having our picture taken, so we were pretty nervous about our wedding day. That being said, Michelle did a great job putting us at ease and capturing us in a way that was natural and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable. The pictures came out outstanding- better than we could have ever imagined! We had no plans to order a photo album, but I gave in and could not be more happy with how it turned out! We are incredibly pleased and grateful for the work Michelle put in. We would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice.

Kathryn was so great to work with! I am overly easy-going and did not have a clear idea of what I wanted for photos for my engagement and wedding, but once I saw Kathryn's photos from other events I was sure I wanted her! Her photos show so much personality and are so vibrant, she gave me a sneak peak of the wedding photos just days after the wedding and it got me so excited to see the rest and made me 100% sure I chose the right photographer for my 'big day'. She came up to Humboldt County, CA for our engagement shoot and we did an adventure style session, we hiked all around the College Cove forest and beach and she had both my husband and I feeling very comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us usually would be). The photos came out so beautifully and there are so many to chose from and love. Her assistant was also great! My wedding was pretty un-organized but everything came together so perfectly at the end. She was very understanding when my payment had to come in small portions as well because my Zelle app wasn't working properly. Pretty much all I told her was that I wanted 90% candid in the moment photos and just a few family portraits on top of our couple portraits. I was very grateful that all I had to do was give her a few sentences of what I knew I wanted and she gave her all to give me what I wanted and more! I would 100% chose her over and over again to photograph our events!

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Everyone talks about a certain kind of blissful halo that happens on your wedding day but you don't quite know what they mean until you experience it yourself. I am so thankful we have the most amazing photos from Hannah to relive the day's magic again and again. I was drawn to Hannah's work because of its candid nature, her creative use of framing, and ability to make the wedding couple look natural and unposed. Hannah herself was kind, available, patient, helpful and a true partner every step of the way. She made the process easy and fun which was a breath of fresh among the stresses of wedding planning. On the day of our wedding, Hannah and Natasha (the second photographer) were able to capture the biggest and the smallest details throughout the getting ready space, our traditional wedding ceremony, our tea ceremony, the reception + speeches, and the dancing. They truly were able to reflect the atmosphere and joy in our photos. It was a total delight to see photos of moments we didn't witness ourselves in the whirlwind of the day. Hannah and Natasha did not hesitate to go above and beyond. The kitchen hit a speed bump and our dinner timings and therefore the wedding schedule was running 30 minutes behind. Hannah gamely huddled with us and our DJ to problem solve and we quickly came up with a solution and averted a potential headache. We also unfortunately dealt with the passing of a grandparent a few weeks after the wedding and reached out to Hannah to request all photos of him be included in our final photos. She was so sympathetic, accommodating, and even offered to find a way to send photos sooner if needed. We often refer to our wedding day as the best day of our lives and Hannah was a big part of the reason why. Thank you for everything, Hannah!

They helped us prepare for the family portrait session and when the time came, everything ran smoothly. We even finished all the portraits with time to spare. They gave us ample time to take additional bride and groom couple portraits after the ceremony, which was really special since we had our ceremony at home. They are fun to be around and it felt like we were working with kindred spirits. Not to mention that the photos are absolutely gorgeous. My bridesmaids and I came out looking like goddesses!

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding. Celia is absolutely fantastic. She is so accommodating and flexible. She worked with us on pricing and exactly what we wanted for our photos. Her work is unique and classy and so beautiful. For two people who don’t like to have their picture taken, we had an absolute blast with her! We had a weather issue (think tropical storm) and Celia made the effort to come back for our beach photos when the weather was more ideal. I would hire her again in a second. An absolutely wonderful and special experience.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked. As soon as we had our introductory call with her, we were hooked! Like many other couples, it was our first time being photographed and we wanted to find someone that would make us feel as comfortable as possible. Kim was warm, genuine and patient with us. She knew exactly what to do and how to get us to open up in front of the camera. Due to the pandemic, when we had to postpone our original wedding date, Kim was extremely accommodating and understanding. And as a stressed out couple whose plans were constantly changing, she was so helpful in offering solutions and suggestions for us. We are forever grateful to Kim for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Although we didn’t hire a videographer, the photos itself told the whole story of our day. Clicking through the pictures, it felt like we were watching a movie. We found so many moments that we didn’t even realize she caught. She happened to be in the right place at the right time. And her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want too many posed photos and wanted something timeless. She allowed us to focus on each other and our photos reflected our honest emotions. She is truly authentic and forms wonderful connections with all of her couples. Kim is more than just a wedding photographer and we would highly recommend her to everyone.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

I have had the pleasure to work with many photographer's, but theres something that Jaci does that stands out from the rest. Jaci has an amazing ability to hone in on a moment, and really surround herself in the subject, and has the relationship with almost perfect strangers that comes off as if they have known each other for years. Jaci's body of work is stunning, with a unique way of capturing moments that you wouldnt even know are happening, and showcases them as if they were choreographed. All in all, an amazing experience, an amazing personality, and outstanding professionalism.

Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

As a wedding planner, I love recommending Jillian and Ryan of With Love and Embers to my clients. The duo are insanely talented which is clear in their photos. But they're also easy to work with, provide a ton of guidance to their clients along the way, and show up ready and prepared for just about anything.

He wasn't just a photographer at the end of the day he felt like a family member or a long time friend. He tries really hard to make you feel comfortable and it definitely shows in his photos. He's not in the way when it's important and the fact that he's taking pictures isn't distracting. (Perfect for the ceremony) Bryan is super fun, we now have a few pics of him dancing with us! Years from now we'll get to look back at those photos and laugh. I love that he joined in, it was way better than having someone hide in a corner and take photos.

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

DJ was absolutely amazing! She was able to capture these beautiful moments from start to finish. Both my wife and I aren’t the most smiley but because of DJ working with us and talking it through with us at our engagement session by the time we got to our wedding day it was so effortless. We absolutely love the pictures but we love the ones of our family even more. She absolutely photographed my family which had darker skin tones beautifully which was one of my concerns when looking for a photographer but DJ did amazing and we have these stunning photographs to forever remember the day. She herself is so kind and delightful and is so cool to work with and worked so well with our other vendors too.

If you're in search of a photographer who will capture your wedding day seamlessly & eloquently...look no further. I can't rave enough about how beautiful our wedding day album turned out. From planned shots to the candids, it's exactly what I had envisioned. Katilin did such an awesome job of maneuvering around grabbing shots here and there and snapping shots of our day authentically. On top of it all, she was so friendly which made the experience even sweeter. It was easy to be comfortable around her and open up to the pictures. After the wedding day, sneak peek pictures were delivered promptly and she continued to keep us in the know of when to expect the full album. I would highly recommend her to any couple getting married!

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

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.

She delivered on that and then some, with beautiful, honest photos of the day that captured our family, the time and the place, and of course our love. It is also worth noting that Carey worked with us through two COVID reschedules, and could not have been more kind and easy to work with. That same easy way of being of course came through on our wedding day. She was so calm and easy to work with. We got all photos done ahead of schedule and she stayed close all night to make sure we got all the shots of family and friends that we had hoped for.

She was great to work with — very easy-going, fun and the utmost professional who has a fantastic eye and the patience of a saint for our ... always sort of "extra" family — and dog, Kona, who refused to cooperate with most pictures haha. My husband and I normally shy away from being in front of the camera, but with Judson's energy and personality, our discomfort quickly melted away, and we could just focus on having the best day of our lives. She even got us to dance atop one of the hills on Roosevelt Island, which ended up being some of our favorite pics! By the end of the night, it was like Judson had been part of our family forever.

Michelle is so easy to work with and has done tons of work for me. She brings a team that is just as skilled with the camera as she is so sometimes it feels like there is more than one Michelle at the events! Her costs are super fair and you get a lot of bang for your buck. She’s worth more, to be honest! She’s down to earth, easy to work with and a magician with her editing. A must hire!

The photograph is a medium that is both respected and cherished by all. Whether you’re leafing through your family’s photo album or choosing an image to introduce yourself to the world, a photo has the ability to cement a memory and make a statement. My mission is to share everyone’s statements and memories through my visual storytelling.

Shanté is magnificent. From the beginning, we connected well, stayed on the same page, and had great energy together. She was timely and considerate, which was perfect since we had the typical wedding day emergencies! She kept us calm when we showed up after expectations, and made the experience fun and joyful so that we could serve face for our special moments. She stayed on point through the entire experience, including weaving in a photo walk around some of my favorite places as we made our way back to the venue from the main photo location. I felt taken care of, supported, and most of all, seen by the person I trusted to have a vision of the day. I can’t be more enthusiastic and grateful about the experience Shanté gave me and my new husband. I never plan to do this again, but if I did, she would be at the top of the list of vendors to call! She and her assistant poured kindness into our day, and it was delightful to return the favor.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Adam for me and fiancée's engagement shoot. It is very difficult to navigate a place as large as Central Park, but Adam was spot on with plans and specific areas of the park. We were chasing the sunset and Adam put us in the perfect positions to capture everything we wanted. Couldn't recommend him more, and he's only getting better. I would book him before he's too popular.

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.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Melissa photograph both our engagement photos and our elopement. Melissa is so kind, flexible and professional. I can't say enough great things about her, and that's just as a person. She is truly an artist and fantastic at her craft. Our photos are so beautiful, and really capture our day in such a magical way.

i consider myself too much of a hopeless romantic and a laid-back photographer to bring the best in you! i’ve been told that nurture is my superpower, and documenting love stories is my outlet. over the years i’ve learned that when it comes to being creative, art it’s what makes me feel alive, that's why my approach to photography is to have an "as-personal-as-possible" experience with my couples by valuing authenticity and connection. to make the whole process feel light and easy! your life’s best moments and stages deserve to be documented in a way that tells YOUR story.

Juan was beyond exceptional from the first phone call, to the meetings prior talking timeline, to the effortless capture of my wedding and the insane turn around of our sneak peaks and the absolute gorgeousness of our full gallery. I am indebted to you Juan!!

I just want to start out by saying my fiancé and I are the literal worst when it comes to being in front of a camera. We’re awkward, we’re stiff & we joke too much lol. When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find someone of course who had talent and beautiful editing skills but I also wanted to be comfortable, I wanted something personal with my photographer. And boy did I hit the jackpot with Mina! Her skills are INCREDIBLE. Our photos are absolutely stunning and I’ve received so many compliments. Not only that but we received our photos so quickly. A lot of people only give you the bare minimum edited photos but she edited almost every single one!! I absolutely love her to death, she made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable that we were able to open up and I feel like she truly captured who we were. Not only did I secure the best photographer but I’ve also made a lifelong friend. 10/10 recommend
