Bergen County photographer Zlatko Batistich | NJ wedding photojournalist | Fine art, portraits and documentary photography
I am a documentary and fine art photographer based in Cresskill in Bergen County, New Jersey, about 15 miles from midtown Manhattan. I specialize in weddings, events and portraits. My photographs are characterized by genuine emotion, strong composition and elegant detail.
If you’re interested in my wedding photography, the best place to start is my Wedding Portfolio. Then, please have a look around — you’ll find weddings and other special events, portraits, engagements, fashion, corporate and architecture. And click on the Published category to see some of my published work, including weddings in The Knot (NY & NJ), Modern Bride (NY & NJ), New Jersey Bride and Brides New Jersey. I also offer limited-edition Fine Art Photographs of certain images.
I grew up in New Jersey and majored in philosophy at the University of Chicago. My studies at Chicago included photography, art history and aesthetics. I am also a graduate of Cornell Law School. While at Cornell, I had an exhibit of my fine art photography and served as co-editor and photographer for the law school’s student newspaper. I practiced law in New Jersey and New York, but being a creative person at heart, I eventually moved to photography full-time. I credit my career change to a workshop in Atlanta with Denis Reggie, the world-renowned wedding photojournalist called “the best in the business” by Oprah.
I’m very pleased to be a member and co-founder of Group of 10, a group of photographers dedicated to providing exceptional wedding photography. I have also been a contributing photographer to the Heart Gallery of New Jersey.
This site currently has 3,500+ photos on 400+ posts and pages, and it’s always growing. Please stop by from time to time to see new work. Feel free to comment on a post and to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

For Max’s Bar Mitzvah, we started with portraits at Temple Beth Or in Washington Township.
After the service, I photographed a luncheon at the Saddle River Inn in Saddle River, NJ. First, a few photos of the setting before the guests arrived:
A mentalist bent a spoon using his magical powers…
… and this cool hawk stopped by...

I’m very pleased to show a new Bat Mitzvah album design. This is a beautiful extra-large coffee table style book with 11×14 pages.
