Oradell is quiet, residential, and built around the Oradell Reservoir — the largest body of water in central Bergen. We shoot family portraits along the reservoir's edge, in private gardens off Kinderkamack Road, and at home sessions in the borough's older Victorians.
In Oradell we photograph along the public access points of the Oradell Reservoir — the eastern path near Soldier Hill Road is our late-afternoon favorite, when the water mirrors the sky — plus Veterans Memorial Park, private gardens off Kinderkamack Road, and in-home newborn sessions in the borough's older Victorian houses.

When is the light best in Oradell?
Still autumn evenings are the reservoir's moment: the water doubles the foliage and the sky. Indoors, many Oradell homes have south-facing living rooms whose diffused winter light is ideal for newborn work — we shoot entirely with available light.
What we photograph in Oradell
Four practices, one studio.
Maximus Visions is a wedding photographer first — that's the work that built the studio. Around it we've built three more practices that share the same documentary eye, the same two-person team, and the same standard of finish.
01
Wedding Photographer
Primary practice
Documentary coverage, ceremony to last dance.
Our primary practice. Eight years of full-day wedding coverage across New Jersey and New York City — getting-ready through reception exit. We work in pairs, quietly, with a documentary eye and a deep familiarity with the venues, churches, synagogues, and country clubs in the Bergen and Passaic County corridor.

Photography Studio
A fully equipped studio for portraits, headshots & editorials.
Our Paramus studio is built for controlled-light portrait work — family, brand, headshot, and editorial sessions on backdrop and natural-light setups. We own our gear: Profoto strobes, medium-format and full-frame mirrorless bodies, prime glass, and tethered capture for in-session preview.

Aerial Photography
FAA Part 107 licensed drone coverage.
We are FAA Part 107 certified and insured for commercial drone operation. Aerial coverage adds a register no ground photographer can match — venue grounds, ceremony arrivals, large group portraits, real-estate-style estate establishing shots, and 4K aerial cinematography woven into wedding films.

Event Photographer
Corporate, private, and milestone event coverage.
Beyond weddings, we cover the full calendar of events that matter — corporate galas, fundraisers, conferences, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, bar and bat mitzvahs, baby showers, and brand activations. Same documentary eye, same two-person team, scaled to the room.
