Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Jeremy and Jennifer are a husband and wife team! With 3:17 Photography you get two photographers to capture your day!! What is better than two people in love capturing your once in a lifetime moments? Your wedding means so much to us and we want to make your day perfect from beginning to end!!! When we started our company we promised that we would always charge what we could of afforded when we got married. We feel as though so many couples are being taken advantage of by other companies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.

Jillian was fantastic. We had family photos done and my girls loved her and she made it look so easy having them cooperate lol. It didn’t feel like just a business transaction - she was patient, approachable, listened to what our vision was and tried to make it happen and DID! It felt as if we already knew her because of how comfortable we were. You can tell that she genuinely has a passion for photography through her work and watching her snap photos of your kids on her own when they are candidly being cute and saying how she could help it because “ they are just too adorable” This was our first experience with taking professional photos outside and not in a studio at the mall. It was worth the entire experience and I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend and have been recommending her to everyone because I’ve gotten so many compliments and we got so many good photos!!

When I’m not shooting weddings around the globe, you’ll find me in Cape May, shopping at my favorite local spots with a coffee in hand or walking on the beach. Family is everything to me and my clients are an extension of that. I could eat tacos daily, adore martinis, and decorate my home with a coastal chic inspiration. As an international photographer, I have the pleasure of traveling and experiencing new coastal towns and culters which brings me so much joy!

Kaitlin was the absolute key to making our wedding day special. Weddings move so fast, but she made sure my husband and I actually had time to slow down and enjoy the moment while still maximizing our time with our guests. She was incredibly accommodating and professional, but it was her kindness that stood out most. She didn't just document our wedding; she made it better. Kaitlin captured our personalities perfectly and gave us the gift of being able to relive our best day ever through her lens. She has a gift for capturing the uniqueness of a couple, and our photos truly tell the story of our wedding day. If you want a photographer who cares about your experience as much as the final images, she is the one! I cannot recommend Kaitlin Noel Photography enough! Best decision we ever made!

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me.

My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

She has this natural way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which helped me relax and be myself throughout the shoot.

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!

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working with celebrities and professional athletes all over the world but have always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

She was super helpful throughout our planning process - she really took the time to get to know us on a personal level so that she could best capture our day. She helped us to stay on schedule on our wedding day (to the point that we were actually AHEAD of schedule, so we had plenty of time to just enjoy the day!). When choosing a photographer it's SO important to choose someone that you feel comfortable with because you will be spending so much time with them - and we are so thankful that we had Tara. And most importantly - our photos turned out absolutely perfect. We are having a hard time choosing which ones to print because they are all just so beautiful!!

Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Ocean Gate, 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.

Tim is remarkable to work with! Searching for the right photographer can be an overwhelming task, but Tim made us feel so comfortable that we knew he was the right person for us. Tim’s work extends beyond amazing photography - he is someone who truly wants the best for you and your partner. Tim continuously makes us feel like a priority whenever we talk with him. He has walked us through all of the important questions regarding our wedding day, including the details you would never think to ask. When we had our engagement photo shoot with Tim, the day was so stress free and fun. The photos he took of us captured the feeling we had for each other when we first met. We are blown away with Tim’s natural talent for telling our love story and couldn’t be happier to be working with him. We are looking forward to having him capture the rest of our story on our Wedding day!

Working with Ashley made the night amazing and so much fun! We were hired with our food truck to serve during an after party for a wedding. Ashley stayed for the duration of the night, capturing photos of the guests and the couple enjoying each other's company before heading back home after their exciting day. After speaking with Ashley, she was extremely pleasant, did not fail to put a smile on everyone's faces, and her warm, bubbly personality put everyone at ease during what could be a very stressful day for some. The bride and groom spoke highly of her and were excited to see their photos that she was able to capture throughout their big day! We highly recommend Ashley from Five Pines Photography for anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Alexa is absolutely amazing! When I tell you, she NAILED the whole vibe of my wedding, I’m not kidding! She was so quick with getting sneak peaks back to us that I was able to post real photos right away, and then the rest of the photos weren’t too long either! She captured our day so perfect. The whimsical “running through a field of flowers” aesthetic I was going for, she got it just perfect! I literally look at my photos every single day because I’m so obsessed. All my bridesmaids and family have said these are probably the best wedding photos they have ever seen/ been apart of. We are all in love with every single shot. BOOK ALEXA, just do it! You will not be disappointed!!!
