Brought together because of our shared vision of a photography experience that is professional, reliable, and warm, the Pearl & Veil team is an assorted mix of photographers that our founder Alex would trust with her own wedding day story! While we are spread across the state, we each call New Jersey home, and we love documenting the love stories of our couples. And best of all, our team has continued to learn and grow together as we build bonds that enable us to serve you even more joyfully!
what we do
Simply, we are documentarians of family history. Every big brother’s bear-hug, every whispered vow, every shout-sung “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”...each little interaction threads together, becoming the story of a new family’s beginning. And while each moment zips by in a flash, we don’t want a single one to be forgotten. Through our unique approach—bringing editorial beauty to spontaneous moments of meaning—the memories you never want to forget will soon decorate the walls of your home, filling your life with joy for decades to come!

About Pearl and Veil
We know you’re worried about looking awkward in front of the camera—that’s normal! But we’re experts at helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera and making the small adjustments to ensure you look your best!

Your unrepeatable moments will be preserved within a wedding album because we place particular emphasis on ensuring every couple walks away with tangible heirlooms to remember their wedding by.
02
Everyone acts like wedding days have to be stressful. We disagree. With the right vendor team and careful preparation, you can ensure the only emotion you feel on your wedding day is bliss!

At Pearl and Veil, We Believe…
STRESS ISN’T A WEDDING DAY ESSENTIAL.
YOUR PHOTOS DESERVE A LITTLE MORE FANFARE THAN AN UNCEREMONIOUS EMAIL CONTAINING YOUR DIGITAL GALLERY.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MODEL TO LOOK LIKE ONE.
