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.

“From my first conversation with Madalina Photographer, I knew I had found the right fit for our engagement photos. She responded quickly to all of my questions and kept everything straightforward and upbeat throughout the planning process. When weather threatened to derail our surprise proposal, Madalina didn't hesitate to shift the timing and even offered smart suggestions on when the light would look best. During our shoot, she made us feel at ease with her guidance on poses and encouraged us to be ourselves, capturing both posed shots and genuine candid moments that we'll treasure. Her turnaround time for the edited photos was impressively fast, and the quality of every image exceeded what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Madalina for anyone looking for engagement photography.”

My goal is to give every couple a relaxed, fun experience and a gallery of memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

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.

On our wedding day, Victor made us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable. He had everyone laughing, which created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. His energy was truly amazing. Victor also was always readily available to chat whenever we had questions or needed guidance. He made us feel supported every step of our journey. Victor really went above and beyond in every way — including surprising us with our wedding gallery as a Christmas gift, which completely blew us away and meant so much to us. His photos are absolutely stunning: crystal clear, beautifully captured, and full of genuine emotion. Every single person who has seen our photos is beyond impressed. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also kind, thoughtful, and a joy to be around, Victor is hands down the best.

We’re Mark and Brittany Edman, the husband-and-wife team behind This Insane Idea Photography. Brittany was the one who encouraged Mark to take his lifelong love of photography full time. It sounded like an insane idea at the time, but documenting weddings quickly became the work we love most. Mark photographs the day as it unfolds: the big emotions, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Brittany brings 20 years of hospitality experience to helping couples feel cared for and keeping the day flowing. Together, we get to know you and the people you love so you can feel comfortable, stay present, and enjoy your wedding. Our approach is simple: nothing added, nothing taken away. Your story, captured as it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
“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!”

“The Meyer Photo Video Group was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. The quality of their work was simply perfect - I love every detail photo they captured! They covered our special day from getting ready photos all the way through the cake cutting, and also provided us with so many wonderful photo ideas. To top it off, the pictures and videos came back to us super quickly, allowing us to relive our wedding day over and over again. We couldn't be happier with the memories The Meyer Photo Video Group helped us create.”

Timothy Anderson Jr Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lakewood, NJ

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

“Tim was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he made the process easy. He was always there to discuss and was a great help in figuring out the timeline of our day. He made us feel at ease on the day itself, and captured some amazing shots in a more documentary style, which is what we were looking for. Jeff, the second photographer he brought, was also great and had a great personality. Definitely recommend!”
