If you trust that your New Jersey wedding photographer will always capture you in the best light, you'll feel more comfortable laughing with your guests, exchanging vows with your partner, and dancing the night away with your best friends
Our relationship with each other goes well beyond photographing weddings every now and then.
The MZP team is made up of close friends who Mike has met over the years from all different parts of his life. Our team ranges from past college classmates, to former brides who gained an interest in photography.
With over 700 weddings photographed together, across 20 years, the MZP team is a close knit group with meaningful friendships.

No doubt, having your photo taken can be uncomfortable. While we can't promise you 1,000 silly tricks that will make you feel less awkward, we can promise that you'll have a rock-solid relationship with your photographer long before the camera enters the picture. We'll make you feel seen, and never pressure you to do something uncomfortable.
We Prioritize Your Comfort
This means every race, religion (or lack thereof), sexual orientation, gender, etc. We fully support LGBTQ rights and justice + equality for all. We want to ensure that you, and your guests have a comfortable experience. If there are any special cirucmstances, or ways you prefer to be addressed, we will make sure to listen closely.
You Are Welcome Here
With the Mike Zawadzki Photography Team, you can expect good vibes and good times. That's because our team is made up of trained and trusted friends who, like you, don't take themselves too seriously. We also know that no amount of friendliness can make up for a lack of professionalism, so we will hold your drink for you, but not drink it for you.
GOOD VIBES & GOOD TIMES
we know how to find creative ways to adhere to a timeline, use must-have photo lists to make family photos a breeze, and employ creative techniques and a cinematic documentary approach so you and your guests can stay truly present. We won't pull you away from your guests, just because we saw something pretty.
EFFICIENCY & DISCRETION
-ARIANNA
“Mike, Tiffany, and Sydney were not only a vendor but people I genuinely enjoyed sharing our day with.”
Whether your wedding is photographed by Mike, Tiffany, Sydney, Antonio, Gerardo, or another trusted MZP lead, you’re hiring the same studio and the same approach to wedding photography.
That means the same emphasis on real moments, natural direction, thoughtful planning, consistent editing, reliable backup systems, and a wedding experience that never feels like an all-day photo shoot.
We’ll show you complete galleries they personally photographed, introduce you directly, and make sure you feel confident about the person who will actually be there with you.
Want to talk with them before making things official? Absolutely.
“Mike and his team were incredible. From wrangling my family to tying my hair up on the dance floor. And helping me cool down to being everyone they needed to be without being a distraction. I wish I could given them 10,000 stars.”
See how the magic is made.
