“After a last-minute change with our original photographer, we scrambled to find a new one. I submitted a request online through Wedding Bug and met Jenny, our coordinator, the next day. The photographer, Aurel, responded quickly to our emails and texts, making planning much easier and less stressful. He took the time to understand what we wanted and knew how to work with my camera-shy personality, directing me into poses that felt natural and looked amazing. His photos turned out excellent and really captured all the special moments of our day. His work is outstanding for the price, and we'd recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.”

I’m Madalina, a wedding photographer based in Miami and the Jersey Shore, but I’ll happily follow love wherever it takes me. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments: the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking, the hug from your mom that lasts a little longer, the feeling of joy that hangs in the air. My approach is calm, intentional, and heartfelt. I want your photos to feel like you: beautiful, honest, and full of soul.

“We absolutely loved working with her! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day, and it really shows in the photos. She captured every moment so beautifully, and we're obsessed with how everything turned out. We truly couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was so kind, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. We can't recommend her enough!”

We believe deeply that love is love, and every couple deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and safe on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

“Bokeh Love saved my wedding! I was in a panic when my circumstances changed and I was left without a photographer with just over 4 months until my out of state wedding. Lauren was able to get me booked and planned out in time for my day. Her and her assistant were fantastic. They were not afraid to help wrangle relatives that were interfering to make sure that my husband and I got the pictures we wanted. The final results are beautiful. I got every shot I wanted and I love everything I got. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“What I loved most is that they didn’t just take photos, they told our story. From the first look to the sparkler sendoff, every picture flows like chapters in a book. The video too it’s edited so beautifully, like a documentary of our love. They caught my mom tearing up while I was putting on my veil, something I didn’t notice at the time. I also love that they included shots of my best friends laughing together during the reception. Nothing felt forced, just real emotions. My husband said he never expected to like pictures of himself but now he can’t stop looking at them. Even our dog, who we included in the ceremony, looks amazing in the photos. I’ll cherish these forever. This was the best decision we made for the wedding.”

Being able to look back, remember the great laughs, and reminisce a particular night is what we all look forward to. Our goal is to help everyone remember one of the best nights by telling your story through our eyes. There is no better compliment than for you to show your loved ones what happened through one of the best days of your lives.

On our wedding day, Victor made us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable. He had everyone laughing, which created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. His energy was truly amazing. Victor also was always readily available to chat whenever we had questions or needed guidance. He made us feel supported every step of our journey. Victor really went above and beyond in every way — including surprising us with our wedding gallery as a Christmas gift, which completely blew us away and meant so much to us. His photos are absolutely stunning: crystal clear, beautifully captured, and full of genuine emotion. Every single person who has seen our photos is beyond impressed. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only insanely talented but also kind, thoughtful, and a joy to be around, Victor is hands down the best. We are so grateful we chose him and will cherish these photos forever!”

“From the very first meeting, we had a great feeling about Mark and Brittany!! Choosing our photographers was one of the most important decisions to us, and as someone who can be extremely indecisive, it was hard times a million. We met with many photographers and loved a lot of their work, but there was something about Mark and Brittany that helped make our decision more than clear. They were fun, kind, listened to our vision while collaborating with us and adding their input, and made the process smoother than I could've ever imagined. Your photographers are with you from start to finish on your wedding day, and it truly felt like they were our friends along for the process and sharing in our joy! They made us feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot and then we had the best time at the wedding! There work speaks for itself. The pictures came back unbelievably beautiful and we could not have been happier. When we went through our album we truly felt like we were transporting back in time to the best day of our lives! They captured all the emotion, joy, fun, and love perfectly! In the few staged and the million candid!!! Also looking at the reels and content was so exciting as well!

“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.

They covered our special day from getting ready photos all the way through the cake cutting, and also provided us with so many wonderful photo ideas. To top it off, the pictures and videos came back to us super quickly, allowing us to relive our wedding day over and over again.

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!

“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.

“Tim was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he made the process easy. He was always there to discuss and was a great help in figuring out the timeline of our day. He made us feel at ease on the day itself, and captured some amazing shots in a more documentary style, which is what we were looking for. Jeff, the second photographer he brought, was also great and had a great personality. Definitely recommend!”
