We put our full trust in Alyssa and wow did she deliver! I was sincerely blown away when I walked up to my beach ceremony and even more walking into our reception room. (Her and her husband built out a stunning ceremony from start to finish on our beach in 20 mph winds!) The work they put in to make such a beautiful day.. I've never seen anything like it! They had flowers cascading from chandeliers at our reception.. it was incredible. Just let her take the wheel and you will not be disappointed. I've been to too many weddings to count and the guests were even raving about our flowers! All the Pinterest pictures in the world could not match her creative ideas and class!!! Also, the attentiveness throughout the process was unmatched. Immediately upon meeting her, we stopped looking at other florists because it couldn't get any better. Her love for flowers and people and calming demeanor - what a pleasure to see and to work with!!

Eric Coleman 

5.0

Forked River, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working in TV and Professional Sports all over the world but Ive always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

Addiction Floral 

5.0

Forked River, NJ
  • Florist

Hi, I’m Kristine—and I’m a total flower addict. It all started in 2004 when I walked into a local flower shop hoping to land a receptionist job… and somehow never left. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m still head over heels for blooms. With a background in fine art and graphic design, I see flowers as nature’s artwork—and my favorite way to get creative. I love dreaming up floral designs that are just as unique (and fabulous) as the people I make them for.

We used Addiction Florals for our bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. Everything came out beautifully! Kristine was able to find flowers that perfectly complemented the girls' dresses and matched my vision for minimal greenery and pops of color.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael’s contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than them to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael’s work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him. More than taking pictures and recording a video, Michael and the team would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon!

I have gotten my hair and make up done for other weddings and events and no one has ever went above and beyond like Gabriella and her team did. Something myself and all of my bridal party appreciated the most was that she reached out to every member of my bridal party ahead of time to gather inspiration photos and make sure everyone felt confident and excited about their look. Her team was very professional and fun to be around. On the big day, she and her team were absolute magic. Everyone looked stunning and felt like the best version of themselves.

She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful!

Monica Nguyen Makeup 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Forked River, NJ

Monica Nguyen has been a makeup artist for 9 years working backstage at runway shows and on set for fashion, editorial, and commercial shoots. Her career began in the wedding industry, which is still a big part of what she does today. The biggest joy she receives is knowing she is there to pamper and take care of the person sitting in her chair, especially on one of the most important days of their life. No event is too big or too small as she places great importance on each and every one of them.

Monica is super sweet and down to earth! She's amazing at makeup and perfectly balances making you look absolutely stunning without looking totally unnatural, cakey or gaudy. I loved working with her and definitely will book her again for future big events!

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

Victor with Victory Photographs was a lifesaver after we had issues with our original photographer and had to find a replacement. He was responsive, kind, and respectful in all of our communications leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Victor struck the perfect balance between guiding us to get great photos while also letting my husband and I enjoy our reception. His friendly demeanor put us at ease. The end results speak for themselves - Victor captured all of the special moments of our wedding beautifully with his high quality work. My husband and I felt relieved knowing we were in good hands with Victor. We'd highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer who also makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
