Hey there, I’m David! I’m a down-to-earth wedding photographer based in NJ, born and raised with strong family values that keep me grounded. My passion is capturing genuine connections and turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my three dogs! My mission is to capture beautifully real, candid moments—big or small—so you can relive them forever.

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.

Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

My approach is documentary-style. I absolutely guide you through portraits and important moments such as first looks, but I allow many moments to happen naturally, capturing your wedding day in an honest way. I have a passion for capturing core memories & I’m truly a sucker for nostalgia. I aim to provide you with a wedding day experience where you don’t feel like the entire day has been curated for your photos - rather, the photos have been curated to YOUR DAY. Giving you space and time to enjoy your loved ones, and making your wedding photos feel effortless.

I met Marybeth during a wedding in Westhampton, she took photos of our wedding cake that we did for the couple. I have to say, I loved the cake I did, but when I saw the photos Marybeth took my jaws dropped. 3 It was pleasure to work with her and I hope we can work again on future weddings.

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison was incredible throughout this whole process. She was communicative, quick and concise in communication/planning and her work speaks for itself. I fell in love with Madisons document style photography during our engagement photos and somehow the wedding photos are even better. I cannot say enough good things about her work!! Obsessed

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

Elise was our wedding photographer. Is she the best? She’s the best in more ways than one can ask for in a photographer. Elise goes above and beyond for her clients providing exceptional service in addition to the stunning photos she takes of your special day. From regular check-ins, her words of encouragement, to her “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help you through moments of uncertainty and crisis, she is more than a photographer - she is your teammate and someone who you can rely on. We were so lucky to have her by our side. Thank you, Elise. We literally could not have done it without you. Of course, I highly recommend her services without any reservation.

Gelfman Photography

  • Serves Riverhead, NY

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

Matt and Lesley from Gelfman Photography are absolutely amazing. They have amazing communication, answering emails and messages very quickly. They are hardworking, honest, and produce beautiful photographs. When our wedding timeline got pushed back, they adjusted the schedule to make sure I got all of my important shots. Their prices are extremely fair, and they have made my whole wedding run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gelfman Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.

We loved our photographer, Keith. As a one person photographer, he managed to get a lot of shots quickly. He was communicative throughout the night and one thing I loved is that he told the bridal party how to stand to avoid those awkward moments of people not knowing how to pose.

I’ve always been a sun chaser, edit all nighter, “Look at the sky” type of person! Photoshoots can seem scary. I can assure you’ll feel comfortable with me being your photographer once I fill you in on a few things about me. Yes, I’m a dog person, my dog is my soul sister. Forget high heels, I’d rather be barefoot. Cozy wine nights over clubbing. Forever not a morning person. Bubble baths and Netflix. Tacos for dinner..again. Sweatpants all winter. Full of dad jokes. Sundays are for Shameless. I’m on the creative right side of the brain, laughing at everything gal!

Monica, I ADORE YOU!!! I have totally made a forever friend in Monica. My husband really loved all of our vendors, but he keeps asking about Monica even now. LOL!! (He knows we talk on insta) She is just awesome. She really tailored to our requests of candid photos rather than removing us from our wedding for photos. She was everywhere throughout the night and truly captured it all. She is such a joy to be around, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. I feel like she was a guest having fun! And I hope she was! Can not wait to use Monica for all of my future photoshoots.

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!

The team at Original Photo & Video was friendly, professional, and full of creative ideas that made us feel confident and cared for. They listened closely to our shot list and brought it to life — the drone footage was especially epic! We can't wait to see the final gallery and relive every moment through their lens. Their style is cinematic yet deeply personal - every frame feels intentional, romantic, and full of movement. Teddy (Lead Photo) and Gabby (Second Photo) captured not just the big moments, but the quiet, emotional ones too, with an eye for light and composition that made everything look editorial-worthy. Jem (Lead Video) and Feddy (Second Video) brought such positive energy to the day - they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, capturing magic without ever interrupting the flow. You could feel their passion in every interaction, and it was contagious. Our other vendors kept commenting on how much they loved working alongside them — they were collaborative, respectful, and made everyone feel like part of the story. We're so grateful to have had this dream team documenting our day!
