Madalina Photographer

Cape May, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

Working with Madalina Photographer was such a great choice for our engagement. She has this natural way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which helped me relax and be myself throughout the shoot. Madalina captured some really lovely moments between my fiancé and me that we'll treasure forever. Her photos have this timeless, editorial quality that feels cool and unique- they don't look like every other engagement photo out there. From start to finish, she was friendly and professional, and it was clear how much she cared about getting the perfect shots for us. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and I highly highly recommend!

I recently got married at the Chalfonte Hotel this past June. It was the most magical day. From the serene beauty of the Willow Tree garden to the simple elegance of the Magnolia Room, everything about the day was perfect. Of course, everyone loved having cocktail hour on the porch, which is personally my favorite part of the hotel. Even before and after the wedding family and friends loved getting together on the porch, having a cocktail, and just enjoying Cape May. I cannot begin to express how kind and amazing the staff are at the Chalfonte. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming but Ellie was so helpful and communicative every step of the way. Any ideas that we had about how we wanted the day to go she was so receptive to. She made sure that everything we had envisioned was there on our wedding day. If you want a wedding somewhere that is naturally beautiful, fun, and perfectly located, I highly recommend booking you wedding at the Chalfonte Hotel.

Jackie went above and beyond for me when anything went wrong including sewing in my dress (definitely not on the photographers list of responsibilities).

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Inn of Cape May and our experience having our wedding there. From the very beginning, the entire team made the process feel so easy and stress-free, but Jeri Anne truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Jeri Anne was absolutely fantastic. She took care of every detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure everything came together exactly how I pictured it. Being able to drop off our wedding items ahead of time was such a huge help, and knowing that Jeri Anne and her team were handling everything gave me so much peace of mind. When I walked into the reception space and saw everything set up so beautifully, it was truly better than I imagined. The staff at the Inn of Cape May was also incredible. Every person we interacted with was kind, accommodating, and genuinely wanted to make our day special. They made our guests feel welcomed and taken care of, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, and so much of that was because of the amazing team at the Inn of Cape May. We are so grateful to Jeri Anne and everyone who helped make our wedding day so unforgettable. I would recommend the Inn of Cape May to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a team that truly cares about their couples. For reference we had 86 people, the cocktail hour, and ballroom were the perfect size, and we had room for lots of dancing in the ballroom.

This was a dream wedding venue and team. We held cocktail hour upstairs, dinner and dancing under the beautiful tent! Alyssa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She always had the calmest, positive and open delivery throughout each step of a stressful wedding process. She made the process much easier and really worked with us to address all of our questions and needs throughout the year of planning. During our last visit, Alyssa had the best ideas for design and layout. These ideas really made our photos stand out. The chef, Joey, was truly unbelievable. All of our guests said best food at a wedding and better yet, best food in general! Both Joey and Alyssa were so helpful coming up with interesting menu ideas. The staff- every single bartender and waiter was on it! No cup was empty, no one was waiting on their food, all allergies were correctly listened to. Not only was the service amazing, but they all were happy to be there, adding positive energy to our big day. I can't recommend Alyssa and her team enough! Thank you!!! XO

Hitched! By Harper is where unforgettable ceremonies meet authentic storytelling. I’m a firefighter-turned-award-winning officiant who crafts one-of-a-kind wedding experiences rooted in joy, meaning, and a touch of humor. Since 2010, I’ve helped couples of all backgrounds feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease on their big day. Every ceremony is written from scratch to reflect your vibe, your values, and your story—not a template in sight.

My fiancé and I had Kevin officiate our wedding in August of 2025, and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made in the whole process! We were struggling on who we wanted to officiate our non-denominational ceremony, and with one month until our wedding day we found multiple recommendations for Hitched by Harper. The process was so easy, and for not knowing him personally, we had no less than 10 people on our wedding day asking something to the affect of “the officiant was amazing and personable, how did you know each other” and we actually had a friend book him for a wedding shortly after! Kevin was beyond impressive and we would recommend him and his services to anyone! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.

This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.

She was quick to respond to any and all questions and was so flexible in meeting me to go over details. The owners, John and Steve, were also so friendly and willing to make our day special. The food is amazing, which was seen at the mock wedding tasting (this is great so you can see that they have quality food). They hold only one event at a time, making your day their focus. The main room has great acoustics and the staff are so attentive to all the details. Lisa was our maitre'd and she was truly to definition of professional.

Hi! I’m Shauna — but you can call me Shay. I’m the photographer behind Milestone. What started as a side business in 2015 became my full-time dream in 2022, and I thank God daily that I get to serve amazing couples through my work. I met my husband at 15 and we’ve been together ever since, so love stories have always meant a lot to me. As a wife and mom of two adventurous boys, I know how meaningful life’s biggest milestones are. My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Shauna was recommended to me through my videographer. He worked with her in the past and felt she would be a good fit for my big day. He was absolutely right. Shauna is not only an exceptional photographer, she's an exceptional human. My husband and I loved working with her. When I first talked with her, I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. She answered every question I had and was able to give advice on not only the photography side, but weddings as a whole. I really felt like I had someone completely on my side throughout the whole experience. My package included engagement photos and she helped me pick the best location that would work for us as a couple. When we finally met her in person, we felt comfortable. She made us laugh and made sure the experience didn't feel awkward. We were able to feel the love while getting amazing photos taken. Once we got our engagement photos back, we knew our wedding photos would be topnotch and we were so excited for the day we got those. Shauna is always responsive and willing to chat whenever a question comes up. We video chatted multiple times before the big day to make sure everything could run as smoothly as possible. I can't thank her enough because I was all nerves until I got to see my husband during our first look. I knew I was in good hands though because of Shauna. She and Amy handled the day so perfectly. We got our wedding photos back and I can't begin to describe how much I love them.

At the heart of every wedding is the same beautiful truth: two people choosing each other. We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Our work is rooted in respect, compassion, and equality—because love does not look one way, and it does not belong to only some. We are honored to document love stories in all their forms and to create space where every couple feels welcomed, supported, and genuinely celebrated.

Bokeh Love saved my wedding! I was in a panic when my circumstances changed and I was left without a photographer with just over 4 months until my out of state wedding. Lauren was able to get me booked and planned out in time for my day. Her and her assistant were fantastic. They were not afraid to help wrangle relatives that were interfering to make sure that my husband and I got the pictures we wanted. The final results are beautiful. I got every shot I wanted and I love everything I got. I can’t recommend her enough!

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.

Borello Beauty was a fantastic choice for our wedding beauty needs. Their communication was quick and responsive. The quality of their makeup was beautiful, long-lasting, and was a great value. I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and my mother who was concerned about her makeup on her more mature features was thrilled with the results as well. Borello Beauty truly helped make our special day even more perfect. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a reliable and talented beauty team.

  • Serves Cape May, NJ

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

We are about a month away from our wedding day and we cannot stop talking about how magical it all was! Mark, Brittany, and Tom were a dream to work with and were a big part in the day running smoothly. About a year prior to the wedding, we had our engagement session done by Mark and he makes you feel so at ease, especially since we had never had professional pictures taken of us like this. His documentary-style photography was exactly what we had been looking for. Throughout our year-long wedding planning process, this team was very professional, organized, and experienced. When it came to our wedding day, This Insane Idea was not even on our list of worries. They made sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. They were also very responsive. We had to make a game time decision to deal with potential spring showers and Brittany responded right away to help us decide on how to shift gears. On the day of, it was really important to us that we had some photographs of us outside and they worked with the small pockets of no rain to sneak us outside. They also had the experience to know how to expertly pivot to us taking photographs primarily inside and still capturing the sweet moments. They are first and foremost a photography company, but they have a deep knowledge of the wedding industry and took on roles outside of just photographing our day. They were not just our photographers, they were our sounding boards, our cheerleaders, our family wranglers. We cannot recommend them enough!
