Contemporary Image

Emil and Michelle’s wedding photography was perfect! Emil walked us through our entire day and set out a perfect plan for us to get every shot we wanted, don’t know what we would’ve done without him!

My husband and I were incredibly lucky. The package offered by our venue included Contemporary Image as our photography/videography company. This alleviated the pressure from finding “the right” photography company on our own. Instead, it became immediately clear why Crystal Point Yacht Club works with Contemporary Image: they are “the right” company. Emil, Andrew, Jeff, and Michelle are all so unbelievably talented, friendly, easy-going and accommodating. They’re also 100% attentive. They never missed a moment. We didn’t have to think if we wanted something to be captured. They knew—and they were on top of it. If we had searched for a month interviewing every photography company in New Jersey, I am confident we would have ultimately chosen Contemporary Image. Not only did they take high quality photos and video they are simply the type of people you want at your wedding.

Michelle and Jeff captured the guys preparing in the morning. It was a matter of minutes before we were all laughing with them and they felt as though they belonged there as guests and friends rather than as the highly skilled artists that they are. When we said goodbye to them, it was as though our friends were leaving.

On the bride’s side of pre-church preparations, Emil and Andrew were fantastic. They arrived early to set up all they needed and made me feel very comfortable the whole day. They captured so many awesome moments that I will treasure for a lifetime. These guys are true professionals. They had everything so organized-even down to the time of the morning when the lighting would be perfect for taking the most beautiful outside photos. They took amazing pictures with us in our robes, having fun, doing our makeup and hair, getting dressed; all the special moments before the big “I DO!” When you’re considering photographers for your wedding, you don’t need to look any further. Say “I do” to Contemporary Image. More...

We got married March 24, 2018 at Crystal Point Yacht Club! We are so happy we used Contemporary Image! Emil and Michelle were both amazing! They were patient and made sure we were set up for the perfect shots! They were very organized and Emil met with us prior to make sure we got everything we wanted! I can’t thank Emil and Michelle enough! He also sent us a sneak peek of our images very quickly after the wedding and we are already so impressed with all the pictures! :) More...

Contemporary Image photographed our wedding and I am beyond pleased with their service! Emil and Kevin were a pleasure to work with and helped to make sure our day ran smoothly while capturing all the special moments. Emil was extremely flexible and quick thinking when we had to adjust our wedding party picture plans. We intended to take our first look and wedding party pictures on the beach but with the 86 degree heat and bright shining sun we had to adjust. Emil took his time and figured out the best possible option/location for our first look pictures... which turned out amazing!! And after we took as many pictures on the beach as we could he suggested a nearby park for the rest of our shots. Again, I love the way these pictures turned out! He definitely knew what to do and where to go for the best pictures. Highly recommend Contemporary Image!! More...

You couldn’t find a better photographer. More...

There are no words that can describe what an amazing job Emil and Michelle from Contemporary Images did at capturing our wedding day! ! The entire wedding planning process was seamless working with Emil. E-mails were answered immediately, requests were granted without hesitation, and were always done with enthusiasm and excitement about our upcoming wedding day. Emil made us feel at ease that everything would go smoothly and we always felt like his top priority when we met or spoke, and not just another couple. Emil got every shot we requested and had so many ideas, especially for a rainy wedding day! We loved how the pictures turned out! In each one you can see how happy and filed with love we were on our wedding day! They captured every moment without us even knowing they were there taking the photos! Emil and Michelle were SOAKING wet capturing pictures of us on a gazebo on the beach and outside the Crystal Point Yacht Club. They never thought twice about it; they did everything to get that right picture for us. We are so lucky we choose them to capture our special day and cannot thank them enough for pictures of the best day ever we will treasure forever!! -Allie & Brendan More...

Contemporary Image did the photography for our wedding, and they were awesome! During the planning before the wedding, Emil was super helpful in answering questions and figuring out our timeline for photos. We planned to have two photographers (Mike and Dru), but then before the wedding they told us that a third (Kevin) was going to come for part of the wedding as well (for no extra charge)! Mike directed a lot of the wedding party/family photos and did a really great job. During the ceremony, Kevin took photos from on the roof at the venue, and at the end of the ceremony, Dru took some photos with a drone -- which ended up with some really cool pictures! All the photographers were very friendly and lot of fun to work with. We were so pleased with how nicely our photos turned out (and impressed by how many total photos we received)! Also, we got a package that included a wedding album and a collage, and both were very professionally and beautifully done. Thanks so much for everything, Contemporary Image! More...

My husband, Jeff and I, were married on 3/18/17. We had selected Contemporary Image through our wedding reception vendor. We only heard really positive comments on them and now I can see for myself why . We met with Emil a few months before our big day to iron out some details so we knew what to expect and what time the photographers would be arriving. Emil is very experienced and helpful with answering our questions. Jeff and I were planning on doing a first look. Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day, but Emil was very helpful with other suggestions. Mike was my photographer who arrived early to take pictures of myself and my bridesmaids getting ready. From the start, he had an outgoing personality and great sense of humor. This really helped with easing any nerves. He really had great ideas for pictures. Looking back at the photos, he took pictures I didn't even know he took and I love them. Drew was my husband's photographer and he also did an amazing job. He was also very friendly and he had the guys in some great poses. Both photographers took some really great photos during the ceremony. Jeff and I had our pictures within a few weeks after our wedding. They really turned out great and I am very pleased. Thank you Emil, Mike, and Drew for helping us capture the most important moments of our lives!! More...

Mike and Mary photographed our wedding 3/25/17 and I couldn't have been happier. Despite anything that kind of went wrong that day (not great weather, finding out all of our flowers froze and died after they were 2 hours late) they both kept reassuring me everything was going to be fine and made me feel completely calm and relaxed-- I couldn't be more grateful for that. Mike even gave me an extra handkerchief from his pocket for those unexpected (happy) tears. They were so much fun to be around and awesome to work with. Can't wait to see all the rest of our photos! Thank you Contemporary Image!!! You made our day unforgettable. More...

We were absolutely thrilled with Contemporary Image and the work they did for us, both our engagement photos and photos on our wedding day. Our photographers for the wedding day were Michelle and Mary and both did great work. They helped us with every little thing including Michelle adjusting the boutonnieres on all of the guys to make sure they were photo ready. We got all the shots we wanted and they had some of their own fun ideas. The whole day went smoothly and we are extremely happy. Mary especially went above and beyond for us. She was with the girls early in the day and stayed late into the night, far later than she was required to, to continue shooting. It was evident that our happiness and getting the best photos possible were the most important things to them. Book them without hesitation! More...

Emil and Michelle photographed our wedding day on 7/24/16. We could not have been happier with choosing Contemporary Image throughout the ENTIRE process. Emil was so easy to get in touch with prior to the wedding and always got back to me quickly with any questions I had. As a nervous bride dealing with many vendors, it was refreshing to work with a photographer that did not leave me hanging! Emil and Michelle were hands down amazing on our wedding day. We were beyond impressed with their professionalism and how easily they fit right in. They were so patient and creative to insure that we did not miss a shot and that they were perfect. I was very pleased with how quickly our photos were available to us and the quality of the photographs is untouchable. There is not a moment that I feel was not captured, only so many amazing memories that we will cherish forever! Choosing Contemporary Image is a choice you will not regret! More...

For our wedding we chose the Winter Wonderland package at the Crystal Point Yacht Club in Pt. Pleasant, which included Contemporary Imaging as the photographer and Elite Entertainment as the DJ (as part of the overall package with no extra charge). Therefore, we did not "shop around" for photographers for the wedding, but we did check their reviews prior to agreeing to them as the photographer, and they came highly recommended, and they were highly recommended by the people at the Crystal Point. So, we decided to book them for our wedding at The Church of the Precious Blood (ceremony) and at the Crystal Point Yacht Club (reception).

A few months before the wedding, we had engagement photos done in Hoboken (where we had our first date) by Emil at a very reasonable price and they turned out terrific! And Emil was very professional and courteous throughout and made us feel at ease. We enjoyed working with him. For the wedding itself, we had two photographers (which was a slight upcharge as the package with the Crystal Point only included one photographer). The two photographers we used were Mike and Mary and they took great shots of anything and everything to do with our day. They were also receptive to any suggestions we had for shots we would like taken. They were flexible with a change in location for our formal portraits and were even able to suggest an awesome alternative site. After looking at the final pictures submitted to us, we couldn't be happier! Not only did the photos turn out great, but both Mary and Mike were a pleasure to deal with during the whole process, and they were very patient and engaging with our families and bridal party, to make sure all the photos turned out great and that everyone was happy. Kudos to them!

In short, we HIGHLY recommend Contemporary Imaging in Point Pleasant as a wedding photographer. More...

Contemporary Image came recommended by Crystal Point. After reviewing some of their work and speaking with Emil, we knew that they were going to come through for us on our wedding day. We just received our pictures last week (our wedding was April 9th) which was super fast. Every picture they snapped came out awesome. They had some fun ideas for me and the girls while we were getting ready and likewise for the guys. Although the weather didn't cooperate, we were still able to get some amazing shots outside! Emil & Michelle both made sure to get pictures of all of our guests and coordinated a group shot which came out amazing. We'll actually be using that on our thank you's to our friends and family. We would totally recommend Contemporary Image for your wedding. More...

It was a tough task, but we just received our wedding album, and it is gorgeous and of great quality! The photo collage is also a unique way to display memories from our wedding without having to flip through our wedding album! Overall, FIVE STARS - could not have asked for a better experience!

We got married a little over two months ago but working with Emil and his team (Michelle) was truly a breeze. We first met with Emil approximately a year ago to discuss the plans for our wedding and he made the process as easy as can be. He walked us through the process, provided us some examples of his work, and his different programs and options. He took our engagement photos which came out great so we were really excited about the wedding photos which were absolutely amazing. We received the photo's shortly after our wedding date and they are all great and we are currently picking out the ones for our album and collage that is going to make the memories last a life time. His team really worked great with us and we got every picture we could possibly imagine and we had fun the entire time as well. What I enjoyed the most was that Emil and Michelle didn't interrupt us at anytime during the night to stop and take a photo and just took pictures from the party which was great and we can enjoy looking back. If you are looking for a photographer for any special occasion, you cannot go wrong with Emil and team. More...

Emil is truly an artist & we couldn't think of a more perfect photographer for our big day.

From the moment Emil & Michelle arrived at our hotel to the end of the night, they were fantastic!
