A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer.

I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

Deena13 Photography 
Carteret, NJ

    I've been working professionally as a photographer for 13 years and I've shot countless weddings, events, concerts, parties, and portraits. I capture the magic of your day while respecting that your guests are there to see YOU not me, and often my couples' favorites are the photos they didn't realize I took. My eyes are always everywhere and I often hear, "I can't believe you caught that!" My concert work has been published in dozens of local, national and international online and print publications such as Revolver, Spin, Billboard, The New York Times, USA Today, MAC Life, Fake Walls, The NJ Underground, Jersey Beat, and IFC to name a few.

    We cannot say enough good things about Shelby! She is one of the warmest and kindest people we have ever met. I HATE being photographed, and my husband and I cannot tolerate being the center of attention. Somehow, she made the wedding photo shoot so enjoyable that we were sad to leave. She provided plenty of ideas for where to shoot and how to pose. She took our feedback regarding the look and feel we wanted for our photos, and they look GORGEOUS! Shelby possesses a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease, and she loves what she does, which is evident in her pictures. Again, it is impossible to say enough good things! I promise you, you will not regret working with Shelby.

    I'm the founder and lead photographer here at RM Photography CO! When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me with sand in my shoes, a golf club in hand, or with my dog Milo riding shotgun. I’m a big believer in slow mornings, spontaneous road trips, and soaking up time with the people who matter most. Whether it’s a beach day, a quiet walk by the river, or just hanging out with friends and family, those little everyday moments are everything to me — and they're a big part of why I do what I do.

    RM Photography CO was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, we were impressed by their open, reliable, and flexible communication style. They took the time to understand our vision and were genuinely people-oriented and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, their professionalism shone through as they maneuvered the venue with ease, using creative angles and elements to capture the stunning, warm, joyful, and radiant moments of our special day. They even stole Trey and I away for a few moments to take couple photos, making it a fun and quick experience. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend RM Photography CO to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

    I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

    Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could.

    My wedding day was perfect thanks to PSPi. He was professional, funny and extremely kind and creative. He knew all the perfect shots to capture. My wedding day was so hot and he dealt with me being cranky and sweaty and didn’t complain about the heat once. He also gave us over 3k photos to look through which was seriously amazing and it took us forever (in a good way) to go through all of the insanely beautiful shots from our special day. My guests were also talking about how great he was and love the photos so much. 10/10 would recommend!!!!!
