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

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!

Danielle Salerno Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Toms River, NJ

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 I could add 100 stars, I would. Danielle was phenomenal from the start. She was extremely responsive to all of my questions. One thing that I believe makes Danielle stand out from other photographers is her adaptability. For our engagement photos, our initial location did not work out, but she was quick and willing to switch locations at the last minute. She knew exactly where to go to get the perfect pictures that fit our vision. My husband and I were initially so nervous about taking pictures, but Danielle made the process so seamless and FUN! My husband and I still rave about our engagement session. For our wedding, it was a very chaotic few days leading up to the event. I had to make changes to the schedule at the last minute and she was kind and accomodating, and rolled with the punches like a true professional. She had to deal with a lot of moving parts and did it with true grace. She eased my anxiety and was a pure joy to work with. She also had her second photographer with her, Taylor who was also pure perfection, and they both worked really well with my son, who has ASD. I felt that I had friends working with me, and not just business owners who wanted to collect a payment. Her work is unmatched, but her kindness towards her clients especially during stressful times is something that you can't get from just anybody. Danielle is truly a special soul, and I will continue to work with her for future projects. I will tell anyone I can about how perfect she is, and having her as your wedding photographer is the only logical choice you can make for a smooth and happy day!

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure to work with Tim for our wedding! He has such an amazing vision for absolutely stunning pictures! Wedding photos are one of the most important aspects of your big day, and his shots were nothing short of spectacular! His focus and attention to detail puts him way above the rest. We can’t wait to work with him in the future for other major life events. Thank you for your amazing work. We HIGHLY recommend Tim

Hello! My name is Jeff Bien Aime I am the Founder and Lead Videographer of Flare Hill Productions. I fell in love with Wedding Filmmaking back in 2018 when I Filmed my 1st, Wedding. I remember feeling so excited but yet so nervous. After it was all I over and I delivered the Wedding Film to my client. They ended up loving it and recommending me to my next couple. Since then, I've dedicated myself and this company to creating and capturing timeless moments of our couple's special day. I realized that there's something magical about capturing the love and emotions of two people in a way that can be relived over and over again. ​

I highly recommend Jeff at Flare Hill Productions for your wedding video! He was affordable, easy to work with, communicative and flexible with any and all of our asks. He captured our day perfectly, without getting in the way or filling us with demands. He had previously worked with our photographer before as well, which we loved, making for a seamless day and amazing work environment for everyone! His work is beautiful, artistic, unique and high quality. We loved the final product and he was able to adjust the few very small things we wanted edited. He takes the time to explain decisions, changes and he is super kind to work with from start to finish! Definitely go with Jeff if you are looking for a great videographer, who fits in your budget, but creates a final masterpiece that you will love for many years to come!

There is never a dull moment and never a rest between songs. The song selection, arrangements, and overall vibe are like the best concert you ever been to, but it’s your wedding. A special shout out to their arrangements of Pink Pony Club and I Don’t Want to Go Home, learned for our wedding, and an absolutely ripping Tenth Avenue Freeze Out that doubled as both our entrance song and a big club hit at the end of the night. All night, we kept hearing from our guests how incredible the band was, and we have to agree! We closed the night with DJ Ian playing dance music for the final hour, with some help from the stompers horn section toward the end. Really can’t think of a better set or show, loved every second. And now we can go catch them on Mondays at R Bar to keep the party going!

Another huge plus was how smoothly everything flowed. They made sure there were no awkward pauses or gaps between songs, keeping everything moving seamlessly. It was clear they were experienced and knew exactly how to handle the timing and transitions between events. Honestly, Enchanted Celebrations DJs exceeded all of our expectations.

Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal.

Thank you Allison (sales/catering director), Jordanna (sales/catering coordinator), Nemo the maitre d, Andrew the front desk at the hotel, and Stephanie of the banquet staff. This wedding was a team effort! I want to thank all of these people for working so hard to make our dream wedding become a reality. Allison was amazing, she responded to all of our emails, our millions of questions, even sometimes in the middle of the night. She even informed us of a promotion to help us save and obtain a complimentary Sundae Scoop station. The food @ Sterling Ballroom was fantastic. We had an elaborate cocktail hour which our guests are still talking about. One of our guests said she “ate her weight” in spanakopita, and multiple guests were commented on both the quantity and quality of the food. Our entrees were delicious(NY strip steak and ginger Salmon), and our guests seemed to enjoy their entrees (above options plus boursin cheese roasted chicken breast). The Sundae Scoop featured an ice cream bar complete with all the sundae toppings and Belgian waffles!! The cake provided through the venue from Chocolate Carousel, was moist and delicious in addition to being stunningly beautiful. We also chose to splurge on the perk-up station which came with coffee, espresso, fun dipping options, and featured a variety of liquors to pair! We only considered venues attached to a hotel. Sterling Ballroom is located at the DoubleTree by Hilton Tinton Falls/Eatontown, NJ. We wanted to make sure that our guests had an option to book at the venue so that they could retire to their room whenever they felt the need. In our immediate party we utilized standard rooms, junior suites, the bridal suite (only during day time of the wedding day) and the presidential suite. All of the rooms were newly renovated and attractive. Not only did they look good, but the rooms were well adorned with ample power supplies including usb charging ports. The Presidential suite was a huge selling point. This was an elaborate suite and could sleep up to 6 guests in the room and even had a fireplace! The night before the wedding, my bride-tribe had a sleepover in this suite to make sure we were ready bright and early for our early morning makeovers! At 6:30am, the bridal suite/lounge was ready for us to do our hair and make-up and looked absolutely spectacular. I am a major fan of elaborate chandeliers and the bridal lounge had one! The bridal lounge had 4 salon chairs, several refrigerators for storing food, and also a wine refrigerator. The venue even provided us with a complimentary bottle of champagne! One of our girls organized a brunch in the suite, catered by Joe’s Bagels, and there was plenty of space for the whole spread in addition to all of our gear getting ready for the big day! While my ladies were getting ready in the bridal lounge, the groom's squad were getting ready in the Presidential Suite! This was huge because I wanted to make sure that the men had a place to get ready and take good pictures lol! I am a sucker for pretty chandeliers and the Sterling Ballroom had gorgeous chandeliers not only in the main ballroom, but also the event foyer and the cocktail space! The entire team did a wonderful job decorating the entrance area and ballroom. I would recommend this place not just for the beautiful esthetics, but also for the fantastic team that was an honor to work with on our special day!

I made a list of all of the things that were most important to us about the ceremony (toes in the sand), the reception look and feel (outdoors and laid back) and what it would be like to work with the venue and the coordinators and the other vendors (easy and detailed). We searched thoroughly because we wanted a place that would deliver a nearby location for a whole weekend. The Deauville Inn was ideal and working with Judy was perfect. Judy guided me through all of the details, was responsive and in touch all the way -- giving me the tools that I needed to make decisions, including great vendor recommendations. Our day was perfect -- and I remember every moment including the entire ceremony (thank you to Judy for telling me to breathe before you sent me on my way!) The Deauville Inn has a great set up -- the food is terrific, the setting is beautiful and the whole staff was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for giving us the most beautiful memories!!

Rebecca Potter Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Toms River, NJ

I am a published photographer who lives within minutes of the beautiful Jersey Shore. When I'm not behind the camera you can find me chasing my two kids around while chugging my fav drink ever - the Pink Drink from Starbucks (if you’ve never had one, you’re missing out!). I love having fun during sessions and always do my best to make you comfortable all while providing a one of a kind experience! I always tell my clients - It’s okay to feel awkward at the beginning of a session, that’s NORMAL. My job is to help you relax and enjoy the experience. I promise by the end of the day you won’t even remember there’s a camera there ;)

Rebecca isn't kidding when she calls herself the ultimate hype-woman! From engagement shoot to wedding day, she made us feel confident and comfortable. She was always down for our specific shot requests and served as a source of comfort when herding family members started to case some stress. Not only was Rebecca (and her second shooter) a pleasure to work with, her work is stunning! (I literally cried when seeing the pictures she took at our wedding.)

There could not have been a better venue for our wedding reception than The Renaissance! We did a small, intimate destination wedding and then had a big ole wedding reception at this venue. Simply put, Falco’s Catering goes above and beyond. Alissa was who we met with first - so thorough, easy and fun to communicate with, super accommodating, and transparent from start to finish. It was such a warm welcome from our first meeting, so we knew this was our spot and these were the people to work with! The event itself went off without a hitch. The food was top notch!! All of our guests were clearly enjoying it all. We did not have to worry about a thing thanks to Lisa, our Maitre d! We danced the night away! Such an amazing time. Thank you Alissa, Lisa, and all staff at Falco’s Catering for making it a night we will never forget.

Alberto and I wanted to take the time to thank you for not only being the best photographer but also person. Jackie went above and beyond for me when anything went wrong including sewing in my dress (definitely not on the photographers list of responsibilities). Her vibe makes everyone comfortable yet she has the ability to keep you on track. Her art is stunning and her skills are unmatched. We cannot thank you enough :)
