Inspired by the creativity and energy of the Whitechapel District of London, this versatile venue strives to redefine how art permeates our daily life– be it through food, drink, performances, events, and other forms of artistic expression. The Whitechapel Projects was developed in a 120 year Warehouse complex through an environmentally friendly construction process called adaptive reuse. Adaptive reuse takes a structure that has outlived its usefulness, deconstructs it, and rebirths it using its original construction material. During the deconstruction process, we harvested 72,000 bricks, over 3 tons of timbers, tin ceilings, doors, pipes and even plywood. The harvested material was used in the reconstruction process to pave the courtyard, build walls, furniture, bars, tables , tap handles, and more.

We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever.

I can't thank her enough for her outstanding professional work!!! Alison perfectly achieved the soft curls and half ponytail I wanted, and her work lasted all day!!!! I danced, sweated, and even did pirouettes, yet my hair and curlers remained impeccable! (This is especially impressive since my natural hair is extremely straight!). They were professional, punctual, kind, and patient. One advantage for me was that they had previously worked at Park Chateau, making navigating the venue easy. Overall, communication with Alison and her team was excellent and prompt. My mom and bridesmaid LOVED their hair and makeup as well. My mom kept saying she couldn't believe how good it looked—it was like she had an Instagram filter on! I highly recommend her 100000000000!! I am incredibly grateful!!!!

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

My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized.

She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

I'm Kaitlin Noel—a wife to Michael, mother to Nicholas and Ryan, and dog mom to our French Bulldog, Ellie. I’m a passionate photographer, traveler, and incurable romantic. When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

We hired Kaitlin Noel Photography for our September wedding in Cape May, NJ, and the experience with her and her colleague, Chris, was wonderful! From the moment you meet her to the day you receive your wedding album, you feel like a VIP. The attention to detail and the level of service and care she provides to her clients are beyond words. Her team knows what they are doing and they do it exceptionally well. For example, she was able to corral a group of 50 people, ranging in age from 7 to 90, in just 20 minutes to take a variety of church photos. If you think that's impressive, she even convinced our bridal party to pose on the beach in the blazing sun while wearing their tuxedos and gowns, capturing some truly memorable moments. At the cocktail hour and the reception, Chris was able to capture our many guests and special moments/traditions without being intrusive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. The level of dedication and experience her team brings was such a stress reliever for myself and my husband throughout the entire day. It’s as if they knew what you wanted without you even having to say it. Overall, our experience was just WOW, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone.

No event is too big or too small as she places great importance on each and every one of them.

Choosing Monica as the makeup artist for our wedding was one of the best decisions made by far! She understood the exact look I wanted to achieve and pulled it off flawlessly. During my initial trial, Monica made me feel as if I was just hanging out with a friend who happens to be amazing at makeup, and I booked her on the spot. The day of the wedding, she was nothing short of professional and made all of my bridesmaids, mom and MIL feel extremely comfortable. Everyone was extremely thrilled with how their makeup turned out as well, which I find isn't always the case when you're a bridesmaid, and echoed my sentiment of feeling as if they were hanging out with a friend the whole time. I definitely recommend working with Monica - you won't regret it!

Went together perfectly with our topper and flowers. Beautiful and delicious!

Cascade Queen Designs did a fantastic job with the florals for our wedding. Throughout the planning process, they were extremely responsive, professional, and helpful in understanding our vision. The final arrangements were gorgeous and well-put together, exactly what we wanted for our special day. The flowers were ready well in advance, which was greatly appreciated.

Maria was amazing throughout the whole process! We appreciated her communication and response time when planning our engagement session and preparing for our wedding. Maria made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The weather did not cooperate with us on our wedding day, but Maria was flexible and found alternative spots for us to get the best shots. We were so happy with our photos! We highly recommend Maria!

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.
