I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!

Richel Diaz Photography

Just a little bit weird. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie, and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Richel on the Zola app. I liked her vibe and porfolio. We had to postpone our engagement pictures a few times sue to Covid and the holidays but she did not disappoint once we were able to get together. Richel is very responsive to emails and texts, she was prompt and a joy to be around. I only have sneak peeks from our wedding but I am confident all of the pictures will be beautiful. If you're a fan of light and airy photos you would be crazy not to hire Richel.

We loved IMOStudio. We had great communication with King throughout the booking process and leading up to our wedding. The day of couldn’t have been more perfect.

My husband laughed a lot while taking photos, it was so carefree. They had great suggestions and our pictures came out so great. Everyone worries about how their wedding photos will come out, with IMOstudio, you don’t have to. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’d book them again and again. Thank you!

For many years, I have had the honor of documenting weddings in New Jersey, working with couples to make sure their love story is captured exactly as it unfolds—organically and beautifully. From the quiet, intimate moments to the big celebrations, I focus on preserving the genuine joy and connection between the couple and their loved ones.

Last year I was recommended Kasia from a mom’s Facebook group and the rest is history! Kasia is such a fun soul to work with and is also a mama so she has tremendous patience from the beginning to the end & I’m not sure there is an end. She first did my fiancé and I’s engagement photos and then our wedding, and I am excited to keep her close to our family for whatever is on the horizon with her amazing ability to capture the sweet moments of life into photos. So thankful we clicked and I love her work. She is relatable and down to earth and is “just there to capture our love” as she says. She helped ease my nerves of being in front of the camera and that was the toughest thing for me. Highly recommend Kasia!!

Tina Elizabeth Photography

  • Serves South River, NJ

I know you might hear a lot of photographers say this... but I’ve truly always loved taking photos! Taking a great photo has always brought me joy from a young age. When I was a little girl, I’d hog my grandmother’s polaroid camera at parties, my mom’s film camera on vacations and throughout high school, I weekly went through disposable cameras and I loved capturing all the moments in life.

I can’t even begin to say enough great things about Tina and her team. The whole process from having our initial phone consultations to the big day was seamless! She was always available to answer any questions we had and made sure to include everything we asked for in the proposal. On the wedding day, her and her team arrived early, and throughout the day made sure everything went smoothly. She had a calm presence (which I appreciated as the bride) while still making sure to keep things moving and ensured we stuck to our schedule. She even reminded us about specific moments we talked about capturing and made sure we found the time to fit them into the day. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful!! She did a great job of not only getting posed shots but really capturing the love in the room and happiness of the day. When I look at her photos, they instantly bring me back to the day and all the emotions. If you work with Tina and her team you won’t be sorry!

Being a professional photographer is a dream come true, not just a job. From sketch books, canvas's, trains and walls, to a darkroom room, I've always been inspired to create visual landscapes. From Toronto originally, I now live in Pennington New Jersey with my amazing wife Melissa and two children, Jalen and Birdie. I was lucky to have spent ten years as a photo assistant in NYC where I learnt from the best photographers in the world how to be a pro on every set.

We could not be happier with our wedding photographer! Josh was professional, responsive and attentive to our needs. His creativity and skill resulted in stunning photos that perfectly captured the essence of our day. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable thanks to his excellent customer service. We highly recommend Josh to anyone in need of a talented and reliable photographer.

If I could give Morby Photography more than 5 stars I would! Out of all my vendors, they were by far the best. They kept great communication leading up to the event, arrived early to set up, were so nice, and so easy to work with! Our photographer, Daniel was phenomenal. He made me feel comfortable with the photos all day (I am not usually comfortable in front of a camera). He was so personable and nice, and thought of everything. Our wedding was on a snow day, and I wanted outside photos. He even thought of an umbrella to shield my hair from snow in between shots, and brought hand warmers for us to hold and keep us warm. He could read the vibe of our wedding party and leaned into it to make the entire process of photos fun and quick so we could enjoy every part of our day. The photos are astounding. The owners of the company check on you and remain involved through the process, the assistants were wonderful, and even the album design team after the wedding have been great to work with. Overall, the entire company is outstanding and I 10/10 would recommend them!

I'm Miranda, a Jersey City, NJ wedding photographer. I understand that being in front of a camera can be awkward, especially if you're not used to it. Instead of putting you in robot poses, I will guide you on moving naturally and provide prompts to evoke fun and romance. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, surrounded by all your favorite people and their love as they celebrate your next chapter as a married couple. It's no surprise you want wedding photos you can look back on to feel the connection, remember the moment, and share the stories.
