David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

Our couples live and love in the moment. You know the ones. They live for adventures and sunsets, know the best places to eat, probably have an awesome dog and a secret handshake. Our style can be defined as modern and vivid photography, with just a touch of moody. We love capturing those perfect candid moments, but include just enough posed photos to make mom, dad, and your future gallery wall happy.

Hi I'm Danielle and I’m so excited you’re here! I freaking LOVE my job! I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can. If you seek classic images with a heap of genuine emotion and a dash of adventure, I already know we’ll be fast friends. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and hang!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is flexible and easy to work with, who is an awesome person that genuinely cares about all of her couples, and who will give you amazing pictures of your day, I highly recommend booking Danielle Salerno! For me a photographer was my highest priority vendor for my wedding day and I did a lot of extensive research before choosing Danielle. Once I saw her work I just knew I needed her to capture my day. I had a ton of questions before I booked and Danielle was willing to meet with my husband and me in person and patiently answered all of them. When it came time to take our engagement pictures my husband and I chose Island Beach State Park. The area we wanted to use for pictures required us to pile into my husband’s car and drive about ten minutes on the beach. Danielle was more than willing to make it happen for us and we wound up with stunning pictures that we love. We were all set to have Danielle shoot our wedding in May when COVID hit. My husband and I decided to postpone our big wedding, originally to September 2020 and then again to September 2021. Danielle was extremely accommodating with helping us find a new date in both instances and made the process super simple and stress free for us. We also decided that we still wanted to have a small backyard ceremony on our original wedding date and we were so thankful to have Danielle there to capture the moment we became husband and wife. Danielle was very flexible throughout the whole process, even when we wound up changing the timeline for the ceremony two days beforehand and when we wound up running behind the day of. We now have incredible pictures that we will cherish forever and we already can’t wait to have Danielle capture our big wedding next year! Book Danielle and I promise you will not be disappointed :)

Hi, I'm Jess. I’m a documentary artist from NJ. I have a talent for making people feel comfy enough to be their authentic selves and the ability to turn that into art. My hope is that these photos make you feel seen, and like your most authentic selves. I will never take you out of the moment or stop you mid aisle to make you pose for a photo. I will, however, encourage you to live in the moment with your partner and guests. And I will document all of it.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!

Hey! We are United Elite Photography. We Create Powerful Imagery For Your Wedding, and Hopefully, All Your Next Milestones Following.

Please see our photographer's portfolios on our website and choose your lead photographer before they don't have your date available anymore. Typically, wedding photographers are booked at least a year in advance, however, we have some bookings up to three years in advance because of our reputation of personalizing every wedding.

I'm so happy we decided to book with United Elite and after everything is said and done, I'm SO happy we were assigned to Rachel. My photographer and videographer was something I wanted to make sure I did a lot of research on, after reading some reviews I decided to go through with a consult and booked immediately after the phone call. Marcia was very thorough and I got assigned to Rachael due to her photography style and the fact she loves dogs (our dogs were in the wedding and this was something to mention to them as it was very important to me to make sure we had someone who knew how important it was). Rachael was so easy to work with and helped me so much throughout my planning. When I finally met her and the team (Karim and Aaron- sorry if I spell those names wrong), I knew we were in good hands. Rachael is a BOSS and made sure we stayed on track with everything I wanted throughout the day. Seriously- she was more attentive than my maître d' LOL. The second photographer and the videographer were so good to. They all made us feel so comfortable. Rachael was so patient with our dogs, got the best pictures of them. She captured the whole day just as it was, which is exactly what I wanted. Same with our video. I cannot say enough good things about these 3. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR STUNNING WEDDING PHOTOS TO LOOK BACK ON FOR ALL THE YEARS TO COME, BOOK WITH UNITED ELITE!

I believe experiences outweigh possessions. I have a slight obsession with making my dog pose on random objects, just so I can upload the photo to Instagram. I wish to one day make out in a hot summer rainstorm. I collect nearly empty perfume & lotion bottles that I will never finish. Their smells bring back so many good memories. I believe the relationships that inspire you the most should be the ones held closest to your heart.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to our wedding, she has made the entire experience stress-free and relaxed. Her calm and chill vibe helped keep everything low-pressure, allowing us to truly enjoy each moment of our wedding day. Jenelle is so accommodating and went above and beyond the entire day/night whether it was helping with my gown, the Groom’s boutonniere or capturing photos of us and our family in the rain. Her photography is breathtaking, capturing the emotion and romance of our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so grateful to have worked with Jenelle and cannot recommend her enough!

We offer custom photography packages and a range of additional services, with a focus on always providing a stress-free experience. Our style is timeless and natural, capturing real moments that tell the story of the wedding day.

We worked with Tommy of Forever North for our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we can’t say enough good things about our experience with him! From the beginning, we were won over by Tommy’s friendly and positive attitude. Even before booking, he took the time to get to know us and that relationship made every step in our wedding planning process easier and more fun. On an absolutely frigid day last January, we had a blast at our engagement shoot and the shots were phenomenal! We knew we were in for a treat on our wedding day, and Tommy delivered in spades. His positive presence kept the mood light while we set up shot after shot, which made a long process much more enjoyable for our families and wedding party. They were singing his praises all day! He even finished our shot list ahead of schedule. We received the photos quickly, and we can say they are absolutely gorgeous. He has given us the ultimate keepsakes from our very happiest day, and we are so grateful.

The photographs I create tell the full story of your unique wedding day and capture all of the anticipation, laughter, emotion, joy, and excitement which comes along with it. I want you to relive your day from getting ready, to the ceremony, and throughout the reception with every moment in between.

I offer a wide variety of packages that tailored to fit your day and always personally am available to discuss everything on your mind no matter how big or small.

Working with William was one of the best decisions I made. He was always super responsive and my wedding photos exceeded my high expectations. What I love about William is how easy going he is. Not all photographers are like this, but he really made my day stress free while still capturing amazing photos. My parents commented on how well he seemed to know who everyone was and focus in on them throughout the day. He made sure to get every single photo on my shot list and I really couldn't be more satisfied with how the photos came out. Book him for your wedding. He is so nice and amazing at what he does.

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones! Thank you Lauren for making our day even more special and for capturing some great moments for us to cherish! Hire these guys you will not regret it!

I have been photographing weddings since 2008. As the wedding industry has evolved over the years so has the wedding photography aspect. Trends as in the past have long gone and newer more non traditional styles have evolved. As photographers, we have to continue to learn and hone our craft like most careers. The "MTC" stands for not only my initials but also stands for " Moments To Capture" I'd like to think that at every wedding, event, etc we are capturing moments and creating lasting memories. At the same time however, we are enjoying the day with our couples and making sure they have the best experience we can give them. Lets have fun!

I’ve worked weddings with MTC Photography since 2012 - Manny and his team are by far my favorite to work with. They respect other vendors schedules (which is rare), never invade personal space and are not only professional, but also so much fun to work with! You know the moment Manny arrives - he always livens up the room and gets everyone excited. They know how to keep everyone on track and on schedule, without creating stress. I also love how the style of the photos are timeless and true to color, which I love reposting because they really show off my work nicely (as opposed to light and airy presets). I could not recommend a better company and always recommend them to my clients.
