Avenel, NJ
  • Florist

Hello everyone👋 My name is Karynna! I am 28 years old, born and raised in New Jersey and a momma to a beautiful little Girl🦋. I have a background in event planning which I loved doing for many years! Afterwards, I transitioned to the travel industry and met so many amazing people along the way. When Covid started, I unfortunately lost my job since the travel industry was greatly impacted. At that time, I didn’t know what was next for me.. but I did know my dream was to do floral design.

Karynna is absolutely AMAZING at what she does. I’ll be the first to say, I know nothing about flowers. I told her that on our consultation call and she brought my vision to life with me barely even knowing what I wanted. The whole night of our wedding, everyone was complimenting how beautiful the decor was and it was all because of her! She set everything up, and even met up with me before I walked down the aisle to see if I liked how everything was set up. Beautiful work, I would hire her again and again!!

When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

Whether it is a single rose, or a full wildflower garden, I think there are flowers for every type of person!

Laura was amazing - everyone raved about the arrangements, especially at the sweetheart table. I don’ t know anything about flowers and was pretty overwhelmed with choices. We also had a pretty small wedding party. I was in ivory and my wedding party was in mostly black. The only color came from my husband’s suit. My dress was also super simple so the flowers brought dimension to the larger look. I sent Laura a few pictures of arrangements I liked and arrangements I didn’t like and she totally ran with it knocking it out of the park. She’s also worked with our venue quite a bit, making coordinating the logistics easy. We highly recommend Laura!

We're Amalia and Jenna, a passionate duo who happen to be wives, dedicated to crafting unforgettable weddings. With a combined background in hospitality, design and event planning, we bring a keen eye for detail and a knack for orchestrating flawless celebrations. Our goal is to alleviate the stress of wedding planning, so you can focus on what truly matters: your love for each other. Let's work together to create a wedding that's beautiful and personalized to you and your partner!

Awarded Best of Zola
My now husband and I LOVED working with Amalia and her wife, Jenna, to bring our wedding night dinner to life. My husband and I chose a courthouse wedding ceremony - just us - but knew we wanted to invite close friends and family to an intimate dinner that evening to celebrate. I wasn't sure where to begin - I contacted Amalia and sent her photos from Pinterest as my inspiration. Amalia truly blew us away from day 1 - she created custom dinner invites for us based on my inspiration photos. She sent over multiple proofs of her one-of-a-kind digital designs until it was perfectly done. I never had to reach out to her - Amalia was on top of my deadlines and full of ideas for my dream night! Her communication is excellent. My husband and I picked a venue in Scotch Plains, NJ to host our dinner. The restaurant offered private, charming rooms for special events. Amalia contacted the venue and worked out all the fine details of setup - I truly did not have to lift a finger! I shared my ideas & inspirations with Amalia for how I imagined the dinner to look. I knew I wanted to keep the wildflower color scheme of my bouquet in the details. However, I let her know I was very open to letting her take the lead in designing the setup. I am not a type-A person or planner, so I was grateful she stepped up and let her creativity flow. As seen in attached photos, Amalia designed our dream wedding night dinner! My husband and I arrived before our guests and were blown away with the ambiance and warmth of the room. Amalia designed custom welcome notes, name cards and signage for us that matched our initial invites. She embedded special details such as mini figurines of our beloved lab and pug, and printed framed a photo I sent earlier in the day of my courthouse ceremony! She and her wife, Jenna, handmade flower bouquets for the table and lit beautiful hand-painted candles in the center. She even designed thank you cards/ keepsake magnets on plantable paper for our guests. Amalia is a dream to work with - her passion for weddings & design is so evident! She is compassionate and professional- I had a truly seamless experience with her. I am forever grateful to Amalia for planning my wedding night dinner - an evening my husband and I will cherish forever. We are considering a vow renewal or more traditional wedding in a few years, and without hesitation look forward to hiring Amalia again!

We had our wedding at the Park Chateau, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. There’s a reason the Park Chateau is considered the best wedding venue in the state — it’s simply unmatched! The venue is the epitome of luxury, with both the outdoor and indoor spaces being breathtakingly beautiful. The grounds are impeccably maintained, from the vibrant flowers to the tranquil water features. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale. Guests were absolutely blown away by the setting alone. Every detail, from the architecture to the gardens, was picture-perfect, creating an atmosphere that felt elegant, timeless, and incredibly special. The food was also exceptional! The cocktail hour alone was a standout — our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety, presentation, and flavor of every dish. Many were genuinely surprised when dinner was served afterward, assuming the cocktail hour had been the main meal because it was that impressive. Both the quantity and quality of the food exceeded all expectations. We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Most standout, however, was their service. The Park Chateau has an entire team of dedicated professionals who made sure every single detail was executed seamlessly. From bridal attendants literally on their knees scrubbing dirt off my dress, to staff ensuring we always had a drink or a bite to eat, we felt completely cared for the entire day. They checked in on us constantly but never intrusively, even bringing water around while we danced to keep us hydrated and energized. Our families were treated with such respect and warmth, and their kindness and attentiveness were noticed by everyone. The team brought our vision to life with minimal effort on our part, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment. The Park Chateau is a premium venue, but it is worth every single penny. It gave us the wedding of our dreams!!

After recently getting married myself, I truly understand that there are so many decisions that a couple has to make for their big day. And when it comes to your wedding film, I would love the opportunity to tell you about my experience on this journey I have embraced - telling the story of love. Your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start off by saying that I planned my own wedding, and I am quite particular and critical. Having also attended art school with a BFA in photography, it’s especially challenging for me to find another creative whom I'm both impressed by their portfolio/aesthetic and can trust as another artist. With that being said, I am so happy that I found Carlo and his wonderful team through my friend. Hands down, Carlo’s team was my FAVORITE VENDOR, and a vendor that I feel incredibly fortunate to have hired and believe is worth every penny for the extra services we paid for. In weddings where a million things could go wrong in so many directions, Carlo’s team went above and beyond. Every time I look back, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and relief that I hired him. This feeling cannot be said for other vendors. TLDR: Just hire Carlo for your wedding, and you won’t regret it, I promise you. Carlo’s team is amazing for the following reasons: Communication: Carlo was THE MOST RESPONSIVE vendor out of everyone I worked with. He always acknowledged receipt of emails and took the time to answer all of my questions. Carlo managed expectations well and was super proactive throughout the process. Although Carlo himself had unfortunately been booked on the day of my wedding, he made sure that his team would cover his absence and deliver the creative vision shown in his portfolio, which they absolutely did. What was even more impressive was that throughout the process, from getting to know the team to planning the day, all the way leading up to my wedding, Carlo himself was very much involved even though he wasn’t going to be on-site. He didn’t just hand off the project because his team was covering for him. Creative Vision: Carlo is exceptional with his craft and vision. When we received the teaser reel, we were blown away. And then when we received the final edited movie, it really brought back emotions from the day of our wedding. It was shot and edited in the most natural but beautiful way, with many thoughtful transitions and edits. As a creative myself, I could see how much time and thought Carlo spent during the editing process. It is so well-crafted, and even the raw footage came out amazing. Professionalism: From the way Carlo’s team set up and collaborated with the photographers to how they handled themselves during a fire drill (unexpected thunder & rain, last-minute changes, etc.), to how they gave directions to me and my husband, they were such pros and a pleasure to work with. Also, they were the only ones who captured the wedding ceremony space due to some unexpected hiccups that occurred. Carlo’s team is calm, collected, and incredibly thoughtful. They are genuinely great people whom you would want to invite to your wedding for the positive vibe they bring. I can’t thank you enough Carlo and the team! You guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

We LOVED doing our engagement photos with Momo! She was lovely and communicative throughout the whole process. When the forecast called for rain, she offered to reschedule, which I thought was really nice. Both my fiance and I are usually a little shy behind the camera but Momo made us so comfortable and it was easy to forget she was even there sometimes. Afterwards, my fiance couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had (“I just got to kiss you for an hour!”). She was also great with our big, goofy dog. The pictures, which she sent in two days, exceeded all our expectations. They are so amazing and special for us to have, and everyone is gushing about them! We couldn’t be happier we went with Momo.

Ashley was one of my favorite vendors to book for my big day! From the trial to leading up to the wedding, communication with Ashley was excellent. She is professional, kind, and listens to every want and worry of yours. It feels like working with someone I have known my whole life, and her calming presence on such a big day was exactly what I needed.

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

Welcome! I’m Anushka (friends call me Nush/Nushy), a Digital and Analog photographer serving the greater New York City Metro area. I specialize in photography for couples, intimate events, the arts, and general portraiture. My work is guided by a simple belief: the most powerful images are the ones that feel true. Whether it’s capturing quiet in-between moments or celebrating bold expression, I focus on preserving effortless, authentic memories and timeless beauty that will resonate for years to come. Let’s create something real, together.

Anushka is a natural talent behind the camera. Her eye for light, composition, and story is remarkable and it shows in every frame. She photographed our wedding shoot right after our courthouse ceremony in New York before our big celebration in Italy this September, and she delivered exactly the fairytale vintage editorial look we wanted. We built a Pinterest board together and she turned that inspiration into a clear plan, sending a timed schedule with locations and transitions so nothing felt rushed. From the first message she was organized, responsive, and thoughtful about light and timing. It absolutely poured the day of our shoot, umbrellas and all, and she powered through the elements without missing a beat. She found covered spots in the park and beautiful corners of the city and kept the whole experience lighthearted and fun. We are not big on posing and she made it feel natural with simple cues and small adjustments that never felt forced, even while we were juggling umbrellas. Her ability to capture light is impeccable. She moves with ease from digital to film and from indoor to outdoor settings, and the gallery reflects that range. Colors are true to life, and the black and white images are timeless. Beyond the photos, Anushka is a joy to be around. She is bubbly and friendly, connects with everyone, and puts you at ease the moment the camera comes out. She managed the timeline smoothly, kept us present, and still caught the tiny in-between moments that feel so personal. The final gallery is cohesive, flattering, and exactly our vision, with thoughtful composition and detail. Professional, prepared, and incredibly talented, she is also a light to be around. We are thrilled and so grateful.

Vero was the absolute sweetest! She executed my makeup perfectly and had such great attention to detail. She gave me great tips for prepping my skin for the big day, which was amazing because my skin was the best it has ever been! I had such a fun time on the morning of my wedding with her and my hairstylist. My makeup lasted for over 24 hours. The makeup did not feel heavy and it felt as though I had no makeup on.

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!
