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 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • 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!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

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.

We cannot recommend Tim enough! We loveee our wedding photos, not to mention that Tim (and Darrel!) we’re an absolute pleasure to work with! The day of, Tim kept us focused and on time, while letting us lead and bring our own creativity to the table. During the wedding, he was always where he needed to be to capture the shot we hoped for, and the video he put together was incredibly done and a perfect way to remember the day! Leading up to the big day, we had really helpful check-ins and chats about our vision and timeline, which made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. We are beyond happy with our photos and video, and highly recommend booking Tim for your big day!

What we love most about weddings is their individuality! We take the time to understand our couples, their preferences, and expectations. We discuss every detail of their wedding day, ensuring they're comfortable with our approach. We won't ask you to do anything cheesy for the camera; our job is to observe and document the natural, amazing moments. We're professionals at making you look and feel your best, knowing when to take the spotlight and when to blend into the background. Let's connect through the inquiry form so we can learn more about you and discuss your wedding day in detail. We're eagerly looking forward to meeting you.

Jose at Delia Studios and Delia overall was so easy to work with. I met with multiple videographers before Delia and definitely felt the most comfortable with them and felt like we were getting a ton of videos and content for the money we were paying. Not just any videos though, ALL of our videos turned out amazing and we could not be happier. On wedding day, they were on time, so creative and got amazing footage from it. It is so clear how much pride they have in their work and I would recommend Delia to anyone. They will answer your emails quickly and it is a very personal experience. Thank you Jose and Delia team!

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!

Flare Hill Productions 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

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. ​

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm a photographer and I don't bundle video, so I make referrals. Flare Hill Productions is at the top of my preferred vendors list. I've worked side by side with Jeff on many occasions and know the quality of Jeff's work from another creative's perspective. I'm also fairly familiar with his packages. Jeff makes a full length video of the ceremony and speeches using multiple camera angles as well as a highlight video. He calls this "RAW footage". (Keep that term in mind). So if you are interested in full length videos for ceremony and speeches I think he is worth a serious look. Many other videographer packages say "RAW footage", but this is often meant as all the unedited short (a few seconds or minute long) video clips that the videographer used to create a highlight video. Not Jeff! Ask to see one of his full ceremony and/or toast and speeches videos. They are very cinematic. He also does bloopers reels and best wishes which I can't tell you how many couples have really enjoyed these outtakes and personal messages to the couple. (Just take a moment to watch a few of his viral videos on social media! Jeff is also amazing at live streaming if you have friends and relatives that would like to watch the wedding live. I don't know any other videographer that creates as much value for his clients! If you're having a larger wedding of 150 or more guests, I would recommend getting two videographers with Jeff, although he works well alone too. To top it off, Jeff is a really cool human being! Jeff will not disappoint! There are not enough stars to properly rate him!!

Five Pines Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

As a southern New Jersey wedding and engagement photographer, I specialize in documenting personal moments between you + your loved one while capturing all of the true, raw emotions during our session. Building a genuine, honest connection with you and all of my clients is something I strive for constantly. It's not just about taking pictures, but rather the experience that makes the photos magical. I want to exceed your highest expectations of telling your love story and create something you'll never stop reminiscing on.

After moving into our first home, my boyfriend and I wanted a way to bring our white walls to life. The two of us are usually never caught behind the camera lens, but after this experience I would choose Ashley from Five Pines time and time again to capture life’s most important moments. Ashley puts thought into every detail: from the location to the time of day to ensure the best quality pictures. She is kind and genuine and carries on casual conversation while snapping away to produce the perfect candid and effortless shots. I especially liked how she kept us moving around a majority of the session which at times made me forget we were even getting our picture taken. Ashley is professional, accommodating and timely. She followed up with us multiple times before our session about location and time, ensured she checked the weather and was highly accommodating. Although not initially part of the plan, she allowed us last minute to bring our dog which proved to be tricky in the moment, but she welcomed and worked with him with ease and smile. I also couldn’t believe the quick turn around time from the night we took our pictures to when she edited and sent them out. I can’t thank Ashley enough for capturing one of the most exciting and memory filled years of our relationship. If you are in need of remembering and capturing the moment, Ashley will give you the quality and experience you’re looking for!

Presley Planning 

4.8

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Toms River, NJ

I'm Victoria, Owner + Lead Planner at Presley Planning with four years experience in the wedding industry and seven years in beauty marketing. My unique background is where I became the detail-oriented and creative professional that I am today (& weddings are ALL about the details!). My wedding experience includes traditional and non-traditional venues, large outdoor tented weddings and bespoke intimate ceremonies. I customize each package to my clients’ needs and make sure you're enjoying the process along the way! The only thing I love more than my husband + two pups (George + Henry), is making my clients' dream wedding vision come to life!

Victoria, Danielle and Kyle can solve and will solve absolutely anything that comes up on the big day and all the days leading up. I was a bride on a budget so was unsure if I "needed" a planner. Let me tell you, you do, and you freaking deserve it. No matter how much you plan you WILL need her. Every question, she has the answer and the 4 weeks leading up to your wedding are insane, so the fact that she coordinated all the communication with vendors legit saved my job. Day of, she and her squad showed up with a legit Mary Poppins bag of anything you would need day of. From safety pins to foot numbing spray to q tips. Because all of the reviews of planners on this site are glowing and positive, which makes it hard to choose, let me list out what she did for me as she was actually a super woman planner. 1. On my way to the church I realized I didn't have my veil. I gave her a call, she picked up on the first ring and didn't even bother to ask me where it was all she said was "no problem"! She sped back to venue and retrieved it and made it back to the church right on time. 2. After a sunshine filled week nothing short of an actual cyclone descended on my wedding day. I was determined to make my boardwalk pics happen (despite that legit never being possible). As I looked at my frigid bridesmaids I couldn't hold it in and the full sob occurred. We relocated into the venue and I was shocked to find my venue 100% set up 2 hours early and it looked absolutely stunning. Victoria had foreseen this inevitability and saved my day. 3. Oh and about the full sob, she was there with a large glass of Chardonnay, the perfect shade of Dior lip gloss and a beauty blender to patch me back together after. 4. The entire day went on exactly as planned per the timeline bc she was there! Ladies, your not going to be wearing your Apple Watch on your wedding day and you are going to be so emotional you don't deserve to be thinking about what's next. 5. We forgot my MIL favorite bottle of wine at my dads house, Danielle zoomed to his house, got in using a hidden key, retrieved it and showed up and handed it to me drenched from the rain. 6. After my wedding day when I felt guilty for having social anxiety the day of she was so supportive and honest in telling me all my feelings were 100% normal and don't trust everything you see on instagram (many brides are unprepared for 300 eyes on them). Last thing, unlike some NJ planners that only do weddings over 100k, she isn't like that AT ALL. The best planners can work with any budget, and Victoria is actually THE BEST.

What a show! The Stompers absolutely blew the roof off the joint, keeping the dance floor not just packed but singing along and dancing their hearts out all night long. 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!

We had such an amazing experience working with Gray Mustache Studios! Ryan was professional, organized, and prepared for everything the day of our wedding. Even before the wedding day, Ryan reached out to our photographer to introduce himself, since they would be working closely together on the day of the wedding. Between getting ready in the hotel rooms, to the first look and bridal party pictures, Ryan worked seamlessly with our photographer to get all the shots he needed while also allowing the photographer the space he needed as well. He knew exactly where to be (and when) to capture so many amazing moments of one of the best days of our lives. Even during our reception, I would look around and see Ryan getting footage of our guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor and capturing candid moments and it was amazing to know that we will be able to relive our night over and over again! So quickly after our wedding, we already had a social media highlight reel which was the best way to keep the wedding bliss vibes flowing!

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venues, we were very specify on what we wanted. We really wanted something outdoors for the ceremony and a beautiful reception hall that did not give off that "Ballroom" look. We hated chandeliers and let me tell you, it was difficult to find a venue in NJ without a chandelier. When we first toured Blue Heron Pines, we instantly fell in love. We immediately knew that this was the spot we wanted to get married in. It was exactly what we wanted but the only hesitation we had was that our family lived about an hour away from it. After going back an forth about it, we decided to book it and that was the best decision we have ever made. It turns out that the people that truly love you will make that trip for you because everyone on our guest list came to our wedding! All the employees at Blue Heron were extremely helpful and super nice. Sarah and Tara are amazing at keeping the bride calm throughout the whole process, from booking the venue, down to the day after the wedding. Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to Blue Heron Pines and their amazing staff. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Blue Heron. They will definitely not disappoint!

From the moment we booked our wedding at McLoone's Pier House, the staff was prompt, flexible, and incredibly nice to work with. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and elegant, with a stunning view of the ocean that made for the perfect vibe for our special day. The staff was there for us every step of the way, anticipating our needs and ensuring that our wedding day went off without a hitch. The staff set up all of our decorations exactly how we described it to them, creating the perfect look. The entire day felt like a dream come true. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our marriage. We are so grateful to the team at McLoone's Pier House for making our wedding absolutely perfect.

I am a Business Graduate student and a Certified Wedding Planner. I have been in the financial industry for over 14 years. I had supported, empowered, guided and serviced many clients. I simply love what I do! However, I found my passion when crafting my wedding. Therefore, I decided to follow my dream as a Wedding Planner and share all my knowledge and experience in both worlds. I understand the journey you are on – from the proposal to the bridal shower, bachelorette party, and ultimately, your DREAM WEDDING. Let’s work together to make your vision a reality!

Keyta was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Keyta was responsive, honest and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process. Her attention to detail and professional execution were flawless - she ensured my vision was perfectly executed, managed the timeline seamlessly, and did everything in her power to make our wedding day completely stress-free. Keyta was extremely talented, organized and professional, and truly made our day magical. I cannot recommend Dreamers Company LLC highly enough.

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.

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 ;)

Where to even begin! Rebecca has incredible talent, she gets a vision and makes it come to life! Rebecca goes over and beyond during shoots, whether it’s getting soaked in the ocean, riding in the back of the bed of a pick up truck, getting on the ground and crawling around for the perfect angle for that perfect shot! Her edits are gorgeous & she hears everything you want the pictures to be and makes it happen! Not only that but she’s so kind it’s contagious, she makes you so comfortable and feel so beautiful during your shoot! If you need a photographer, highly recommend you consider Rebecca!

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 :)
