About

Hi! I'm Serena! A little bit fun, a little bit odd, all wrapped up into mint chocolate chip icecream. So I’m that girl. You know, that disney princess style hopeless romantic. The one who balls her eyes out at a theater, reads way too many fantasy style romance novels, and believes that faeries really did steal your car keys and shove them under the bed.

I'm a Boudoir and Offbeat/Glam Wedding photographer. I believe that every person has a soulmate and that every woman is downright gorgeous and deserves to see it, know it and embrace it. I absolutely love my job. It’s the only job where I can be the artist I am while getting to meet and make amazing new friends, experience love over and over on a wedding, and see stress and self-doubt melt right off a woman at a boudoir session all while getting to edit in my PJs with my fur babies on my lap.

I believe in love. Euphoric, blissful, crazy, stupid, and sometimes stubborn love. You are marrying your soulmate and I am honored that you are interested in meeting with me to capture and document your love story. I believe that photographs capture the best parts of ourselves and are timeless and forever. They are the living, breathing documents of who we are and who we will be to the loved ones we know and the ones we never get to meet after we are gone. They remind you of just how beautiful you are inside and why you fell in love in the first place.

I want to give you an heirloom that you and your family will cherish forever. Photography is more than just a job to me — it’s about meeting people and making connections. I don’t just want to be another vendor you check off your list - I want to get to know your story. I want to make sure that we click as people (You are going to see me a LOT, and when i'm comfortable I can be a bit of a talkative goofball). It’s an honor to be chosen to experience the most important parts of your life with you!

Photographer with Integrity

Serena Star and her staff go above and beyond to make sure your photography experience is truly incredible. I have done several photo shoots with Serena, including solo, couples, and my wedding! Every time I work with Serena, she takes the time to understand my vision for the shoot, and with a wedding she sincerely gets to know your unique love story. She finds out what matters to you and magically expresses that in your images. Serena is also keenly aware and respectful of what each person is comfortable with regarding personal insecurities, and will apply light editing to ensure your confidence in the photos.
If you are seeking a professional photographer who cares about your happiness as a client and respects you as an individual, you have come to the right place. Serena has integrity and is a truly talented artist who puts her heart into her work.

Phenomenal in every way

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Serena. From the get-go, we knew she was the right fit for us, and he photography is beautiful. We have huge families and bridal parties and she organized a clear and manageable timeline so that we could get all of our photos done and still have time to actually enjoy our wedding. We are so happy with the photos she has provided, the only hold up has been on our end, since we love so many pictures we haven't been able to select the ones we want her to print. Hire her and her team!

High Quality Photographer!

Exceptional, Phenomenal, Attentive, and a true ARTIST is how I would describe Ms. Serena Parsons and her work! I found Serena at a Plan It Bridal Expo at Masso's Catering in New Jersey. Once I opened her portfolios of whole weddings, I knew I had to book her! I later scheduled an appointment at her studio, and after meeting with her one on one, along with her husband, I could see how passionate she is about her work in delivering sheer excellence...that meeting left me with the feeling that needed her to be part of our special day. Many photographers will show you their best shots, but Serena was able to present several whole weddings she shot from start to finish! Her work is journalistic, editorial, classic, sexy, and glam all in one! My wedding photos look like they belong in a published bridal magazine, and I could not be happier to have chosen her. I am a formal runway model, so I am familiar with photography and knew the importance of choosing a quality wedding photographer. Wedding photography is a very specialized style of photography, and while many folks have great cameras, not everyone has an eye for this particular style of photography. Serena did not disappoint at all. She has lots of energy, great vibes, and is the sweetest person! My photography package came with a 60-paged wedding album, flash drive of my photos, and 3 different levels of resolution. I had 2 shooters at my wedding, and a lighting assistant. Hands down, Serena and her team was the most important vendor of my day, and I had full faith that she would capture every special moment dear to us...Serena Star Photography definitely delivered! You only get one shot at your wedding photos, and picking the right photographer is crucial. Book her now!

Amazingly awesome photographer!

My hubby and I had the utmost pleasure of having Serena and her husband Dave do the photos for our wedding on 10/7/18. I knew from the first meeting I was going to love her! She is beyond artistic and incredibly creative. She made "posing" for pictures feel very natural and not "posy" at all. Our package included an engagement session and what fun (and amazingly beautiful) photos those were! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!

BOOK SERENA NOW!! You do not want anyone else to capture your photos for the most important day of your life!! My now husband and I met with Serena and loved her from the start, she is so easy to work with, accommodating, and willing to communicate! We loved our engagement photo shoot and could not wait for our wedding day with Serena. From the moment Serena arrives there is a sense she has it all under control--she worked seamlessly with other vendors, assisted us with answering all of our questions, making our wedding day timeline, keeping everyone on schedule, and even capturing our dog in photos! :) We love the way Serena captures color--it is so vibrant and makes the entire day come alive--which is perfect since the photos are meant so the day can be relived over and over again. Serena was the best and we hope to work with her again in the future!

My husband and I absolutely loved having Serena as our wedding photographer! She and her husband are a great team! From their pleasant demeanor and creative energy to their professional preparedness and beautifully taken photos, it was such a wonderful, memorable experience having them shoot our wedding. Me and my bridal team were so behind schedule getting our makeup done and Serena took the initiative to speak with our limo drivers and present me with options of where to take our portrait photos and still make it to the ceremony all time. This was above from what I expected her to do and I'm so grateful to her for it because I was able to keep my sanity and we were able to take our amazing photos and be on time! An additional bonus is the turn around time for photos!! I didn't expect to get them as soon as we did; AND she also provides teaser photos soon after the wedding so that you have something to look at in the meantime!! Serena is amazing and I highly recommend her to others as the TOP wedding photographer in the area!

Serena and her husband, Dave, were absolutely amazing and surpassed any expectation we had!!! Serena was our engaged photographer and we couldn't have asked for any better pictures. There is no doubt that she completely loves her job. During our photo shoot she was patient, EXTREMELY creative, accommodating, and Serena has a knack for making things organic. She took her time during the entire photo shoot and we had so much fun with them. Our pictures were absolutely beautiful and she provided a variety of different techniques and tricks.

Serena is the absolute best! We worked with her for engagement shots and for wedding day photography. She truly knows her craft and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She worked with us to find a location between us for the engagement session (even donning ice skates to work our first date into the session!) and helped us plan out the wedding day events to get the most out of her time with us. She's great and we 100% recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
