Our wedding at The Renaissance with Falco's Catering was amazing. Heather helped us with less than a years time to plan our day. 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. She made sure we had everything we wanted for the day and helped run each part smoothly. Thank you so much!

Hi!! I'm Brit. I am a New Jersey wedding and portrait photographer. Photography is by far my first love. We have a relationship that is constantly growing, learning, and becoming stronger. I love learning about others, creating images to last a lifetime, and capturing moments between you and your partner! Also, you can inquire on my website for more information such as pricing and galleries!

Britt was the most AMAZING photographer & person to work with for our wedding. Not only was she extremely organized & communicative but also helped immensely on the day of the wedding. She went above & beyond making sure my husband & I felt comfortable the entire time. It was 95 degrees & sunny on my wedding but Britt & Timmy managed to capture pictures throughout the entire day that look like a fairytale (even though we felt like we were melting).

Inspire Me Imagery 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Ocean, NJ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,399

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones! Thank you Lauren for making our day even more special and for capturing some great moments for us to cherish! Hire these guys you will not regret it!

We can't say enough about Shore Catering and what Summer did for us. She didn't just cater our wedding—she actually helped us find our venue too, which was such a huge relief during the planning process. From our first conversation through the big day, Summer was responsive, kind, and always there when we needed her, whether we were calling or emailing with questions.

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.

Cam absolutely crushed it!! The music was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and from start to finish he nailed the vibe! The chill house music during the first part of the night was exactly what we envisioned, and when it was time to kick things into high gear, he completely understood the assignment!! The dance floor was packed all night long! We had guests of every age out there dancing, and our friends have not stopped talking about how incredible the music was. One friend even said they regretted hiring a band for their own wedding because our DJ was that good! Beyond being incredibly talented, Cam was professional, organized, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in making our night special. He listened to what we wanted, read the room perfectly, and created the most fun, high-energy atmosphere we could have asked for.

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.

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.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

I honestly still cant belive how good the pictures and video turned out!! Every little moment from the morning to the very last dance is in there and it feels like im reliving the whole day again. The video is so emotional but also fun, it has the perfect balance. I loved that they caught the laughter and not just the posed parts. Even my grandma who hates being on camera looks happy and natural. My friends keep saying its the best wedding video they’ve ever seen, and I totally agree. The colors are bright but not too fake, just real and beautiful. They also made me feel calm even when I was super nervus before walking down the aisle. When I look at the album it feels like a story book of my wedding day. I cried watching it again last night with my husband. I will be showing these forever to anyone who comes to my house lol. Honestly this is the best thing we invested in for the wedding, no regrets at all.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark, Tom, and Brittany for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, communication was clear, smooth, and professional. They made the entire process stress free. On the day of the wedding, they were incredibly efficient and knew exactly what they were doing. They guided us with ease, capturing all the right angles without ever making us feel rushed or staged. I truly felt at ease in their hands, which made the whole day even more enjoyable. Their calm, confident presence combined with their talent behind the lens made for a dream team. We can’t thank them enough for documenting our day so beautifully. Highly recommend!

My love for photography was born when I picked up a camera and started shooting street photography as a hobby. This hobby quickly took over my entire life! Thankfully, combined with my editing and retouching skills, I was able to turn my passion into a career. Owning and running Wild Hearts has been the one of my greatest joys! I love truly love capturing your real life moments and emotions. Yes I am organized as hell and type A, but balance that with heavy doses of standing back and just capturing the moment as it’s happening. I feel a real connection with all the wild hearts out there, and would love it if you let me capture yours!

Ashley and her team helped make our day perfect. They made sure all my decor was setup beautifully, including some 100 candles between the ceremony and reception, and everything ran smoothly. If anything went wrong, I have no idea what it is. Ashley also did my flowers, not only was it one less thing for me to worry about, since she and her team would be there anyway making everything look right, but the flowers were perfect!

Bryanna was kind and professional from beginning to end. After our trial appointment, I unfortunately ended up losing my hair due to alopecia. I asked Bryanna if she would be able to style a wig. She did some research and agreed to do it even though she had never done it before. My bridal hair came out so beautifully. I couldn't have asked for more kindness, talent, and professionalism.
