David and his team (Melissa and Joy) were an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. As one of the most intimate days of your life, David E. Starke photography was professional, sensitive, easy going, and able to capture lots of candid and staged photographs on our big day. He has an amazing way of making you feel comfortable, and especially happy. We can't wait to get our photos and album back!

David @ D.E.S. Photography runs his business professionally with top-notch quality service. He was ultra-responsive to questions and concerns that came up as we were doing our wedding planning - he was reachable at all times. He also hires personable and fun professional photographers on his team, one which did both our engagement photo shoot & our wedding too (Korin is her name, she was great!). Our overall experience with them was "6" out of 5 as they kept us relaxed, natural, and smiling especially when doing professional photos can be a different experience if its your first time. As for the quality of the photos they produced for us - well let's just say we get a ton of compliments on their work to this day on their professionalism, detail, and quality - and props to them for picking photos that were both romantic & fun for our big day!

David Starke did such a beautiful job on my wedding photos! There are no words to explain, simply stunning photos! He was so flexible and professional! He took gorgeous portraits, and caught so many beautiful moments! He worked with our budget and our time table (my husband desperately wanted to make it to cocktail hour!) David and his assistant were so go with the flow, it made my day so enjoyable! I would recommend David Starke to anyone and everyone!

Finding the right photographer for our wedding day was the most stressful experience of the wedding planning for us. As soon as we met David, we knew we found the right person to do the job. David was very responsive, flexible, and accommodating to all of our needs and concerns. He set us up with Korin as our lead photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding day, and we were also so happy with her and her service to us. All of the photos came out beautifully, and really were able to tell the story of our special day. I would absolutely recommend David and his team to anyone looking for a photographer.

David and his team are simply amazing! He is so personable and attentive! After seeing his work from a friends wedding I knew I had to hire him! He offers packages ranging in price for any budget! His team was prompt and on time, and stayed all the way till the very end of our reception! I couldn't have asked for any better! I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in the NJ area.
