Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Photography & Videography in New Jersey
Wedding photography has a lot of moving parts, and some of the things that matter most don’t show up on a package sheet.
These are the questions couples ask us most before they book.

The Experience
Q: I'm awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?
Yes. Most of our couples tell us some version of this.
Our job isn’t to leave you on your own and hope something candid happens. We direct when you need it and back off when you don’t.
That’s a big reason every photography collection includes an Engagement Session. It’s where the four of us learn how to work together before the wedding, so the wedding day isn’t the first time you’re figuring out what to do in front of our cameras.
Q: What is your approach on a wedding day?
Some photographs need direction.
Family photographs need direction. Portraits sometimes need direction. Lighting and timing sometimes need direction.
When something real is already happening, we don’t interrupt it to manufacture a better version.
The job is knowing the difference.
Q: Do you both photograph every wedding?
Yes. Both of us. Every wedding.
The two people you meet are the two photographers who show up. We don’t hand your wedding off to an associate team or add whoever happens to be available.
Q: How many weddings do you take per year?
No more than 30 weddings a year.
We limit the number because of the experience we’ve built around each wedding. It gives us the time and attention to actually know our couples, stay involved through the process, and finish each wedding properly afterward.
Q: How much does wedding photography cost?
Wedding photography begins at $6,000.
Every photography collection includes both of us as your photographers, an Engagement Session, digital photographs, Signature Wedding Premiere Party, Handmade Italian album, and timeline guidance.
Planning & Logistics
Can we see full wedding albums?
Yes. When you come into the studio, you can sit down with complete wedding albums and see how an entire day comes together—not just the photographs that made Instagram.
Do you help with the wedding timeline?
Yes. After you complete your Timeline Questionnaire, we build the recommended photography timeline around the wedding you’re actually having.
Two weeks before the wedding, we meet by video for the final timeline review and work through the details that matter: family groupings, travel, ceremony timing, venue requirements, and anything that has changed.
What happens if it rains?
Rain changes the plan. It doesn’t change the job.
We adjust locations, lighting, timing, and what makes sense for that particular wedding instead of trying to force the original plan to work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry professional liability insurance and can provide a certificate to your venue when needed.
Do you travel?
Yes. We regularly photograph weddings throughout New Jersey, New York City, Staten Island, and Philadelphia.
If your wedding is outside those areas, ask us and we’ll tell you what the travel looks like.
Delivery & Heirlooms
How long does it take to see our photos?
Our wedding photographs are typically ready in about two weeks.
Once they’re finished, we schedule your Signature Wedding Premiere Party so the first time you see the full wedding isn’t through a gallery link on your phone.
What is your editing style?
We want the photographs to look like the wedding—not like whatever editing trend happens to be popular that year.
The finished images are clean, consistent, and edited to keep the people, light, and atmosphere of the day recognizable.
Why is an album included in your collections?
Because most couples fully intend to make one later. Then life happens.
Every photography collection includes a Handmade Italian album so the wedding doesn’t end as another digital project sitting on a to-do list.
You’ll still have the digital photographs. We just make sure the finished story gets made too.
Q: What is the Signature Wedding Premiere Party?
After the wedding, you come back to our Woodbridge studio and see the finished photographs together for the first time.
Instead of opening a gallery link at home, you get to sit down, watch the wedding on the big screen, and actually relive it.
Afterward, we move into the album and finish the story with you.
Videography
Do you offer wedding videography?
Yes. Wedding Film is available as a $3,500 add-on to photography.
A dedicated videographer from our team works from the same timeline and priorities as us, so you’re not adding another company with a separate plan.
How do we know if we should add videography?
Ask yourselves whether there are parts of the wedding you’ll want to hear again.
The vows. The speeches. Your parents’ voices. The music. The laughter.
Photographs let you see the day again. Film lets you hear it.
If that matters to you, Wedding Film makes sense. If photographs are enough for you, you don’t need to add it just because we offer it.
Q: Who films the wedding if we add Wedding Film?
Lenny & Melissa remain your photographers. A dedicated videographer from our team handles the film.
Everyone works from the same timeline and priorities, so photo and film are one coordinated team instead of two companies trying to run separate versions of the day.
Booking Your Date
How do we check if you’re available for our date?
Start with the Check Your Date form and send us your wedding date, venue, and what matters most to you.
If your date is open, the next step is an in-person meeting at our Woodbridge studio.
You’ll meet the two people who would actually photograph your wedding, see complete albums, and walk through how the whole process works.
