About

An elevated New Jersey wedding photography experience transforming once-in-a-lifetime milestones into cherished family heirlooms.

For more than ten years, we’ve escorted busy brides and grooms from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania through the often overwhelming experience of documenting a luxurious wedding celebration. We step into their lives as strangers, but by the first wedding morning mimosa toast, we feel as ingrained as each member of the tight-knit bridal party. By placing exceptional emphasis on preparation, communication, and education (Idalia was founded by a former teacher, after all!), our experience delivers both style and substance, both ease and excellence. And we, the Idalia Photography Team led by Alex Peterson, can’t wait to serve you!

Collections by Alex Peterson starting at $6,500
Collections by Associate Photographers starting at $3,500

Look no further!!!

Haven’t even returned from our honeymoon yet but i had to submit my review! Alex is seriously the best. The whole day was perfect bc she was so calm and such light energy on a very overwhelming day. I was a very over stimulated bride at points of the day and her and her team were sooo good at dealing with it and getting us through the chaos part of family formals. The sneak peaks we got were breath taking i cannot wait to see the final products! Look no further, you just found your wedding photographer! Thank you to the Idalia Photography!!!

Wonderful Engagement Photo Shoot!

The team at Idalia Photography is amazing! My fiancé and I went in to their studio for an indoor engagement session and had a fantastic time! Chelsea was so easy to work with and made our session so much fun! We felt very comfortable with her and she gave great direction during the session. Corinne did my hair and makeup and did a wonderful job! If I wasn't getting married out of state I would hire her for my actual wedding day too! The photos came out amazing and Alex did a wonderful job helping us narrow down our favorites! 10/10 experience!

10/10 Recommend!

Idalia Photography is truly the epitome of Photography professionals!! Alex and her team take care of every detail from the moment you book with them. They basically spent the entire day with the Bride and Groom and made the day very fun while capturing amazing pictures. The engagement and wedding pictures were beautiful and we could not be happier with them. They also provide a full photo timeline and capture all requested pictures in a timely, efficient and fun manner. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of a wedding photographer!! Thank you so much Alex and team!!

Wedding photographer

Idalia Photography was amazing to work with. Marrianne and Mike did an amazing job of capturing our day so beautifully. We cannot recommend them enough! They were very accommodating when we had to reschedule our engagement photos due to the weather multiple times and when it rained on our wedding day, they adjusted the schedule flawlessly. Now we have beautiful photos, albums, and wall art to remember our wedding!!

Wonderful People and Beautiful Photos

We adored working with Alex and her team for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. There were so many beautiful photos - it was hard to choose for our album. They were fun to work with, never pushy, and completely understanding of the limitations of our venue. What other photographer brings your wall art to you and hangs it? We are delighted we selected them and to admire the pictures for years to come.

Best team ever!!!

Alex and team was a pleasure to work with! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, we were very uneasy about getting our photos taken but Alex made us feel so comfortable. Everything was perfect and am so grateful to have such a wonderful team!

We are so beyond happy to have chosen Idalia Photography for our wedding day pictures.

We worked with the associates from Idalia Photography (Pearl & Veil Studios) for our engagement session and our wedding day. Throughout the entire process, Alex was so helpful and personable. She was professional and answered all of our questions. Marianne was incredible during our engagement shoot, and I know she would be for our wedding day, too! Marianne, Michael, and Katie truly went above and beyond to capture our wedding day perfectly. They were on time, professional, and made sure to get every shot we requested. When designing our album, the design team took their time while we selected the best photos to represent our day- which was difficult, since we loved them ALL! We are so beyond happy to have chosen Idalia Photography for our wedding day pictures.

Amazing every step of the way!!

Alex and her team are incredible. From the first phone call, Alex understood our vision and was amazing to work with - professional, organized, flexible, and always so responsive. Alex and her team are so talented (and so fun!!!) and the photographs blew us away. Thank you for capturing our special day for us - we are thrilled we’ll always be able to re-live it all by looking at the beautiful photographs.

Blown away!

My wife and I were thrilled with Alex and her team throughout the entire process! To start, she was extremely helpful leading up to the wedding, including taking the time to meet virtually on multiple occasions to answer all of our questions and to best understand our needs/vision for the day. She was also instrumental in preparing a detailed itinerary which kept everything running smoothly with no surprises or snafus.
She was always professional and cooperative, as well as equally as excited for our day as we were! When you have a photographer with that energy, it's contagious and makes your photos that much more natural. We loved that she gave us specific direction in order for her to get the best shots - and the final product was incredible!!! She helped capture our day so perfectly and we couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer. She also provided over 75 photos within 2 weeks of our wedding which was unbelievable. Definitely recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
