    They made us feel so comfortable and were so efficient

    I could not be happier. They were not only kind and fun but they were super creative and understanding. They made us feel super comfortable and did such an amazing job.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Serena was amazing!!! We were such a mess planning our wedding. The date changed at least three times! She was so good about being flexible and helping keep me calm. She wasn't just there as our photographer, she was there to help with anything and everything - offering up suggestions when we didn't know what to do next and were panicking trying to plan our special day. Serena's photos turned out beautiful (as always!) and are always so unique. She worked with OUR style to make our photos special. We love her and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! She has such a wonderful energy about her. Just ALL SMILES!

    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!

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Serena for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding and I wouldn't have it any other way. When planning for our engagement session we wanted to incorporate a pin-up style Minnie & Mickey theme since we got engaged in Disney. Serena didn't only do an amazing job, but completely nailed our expectations. Our wedding was three months later and in-between that time Serena was an essential asset to our planning. She has incredible talent with save-the-dates, invitation design, and a true eye for what the wedding day was supposed to look like. My husband and I were blown away with her ability to convert our visions to realities. We also had the pleasure of working with Serena's new service of videography- which turned out to be something I couldn't imagine myself living without. Even though our wedding day was only one day- Serena has made memories that will last us a lifetime!

    Serena is absolutely amazing! My husband and I knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding from the first time we met her. She is professional, talented and really knows her stuff...a huge bonus is that she is also super sweet! Planning a wedding and coordinating vendors is so stressful, but working with someone like Serena was just the best. Her prices are so reasonable, she takes so many photos and they are all gorgeous!

    We used Serena for both our engagement photos and the wedding, both sets turned out stunning. She knows exactly when to get the best light and it shows in her work. What we really loved about her is that she takes time to get to know the couples she works with; to see what's important for her to capture on the day and to show a little bit of our personality as well. What you don't realize is how much time you spend with your photographer on your wedding day, so you should pick someone that you feel comfortable with and get along with. We all had so much fun hanging with Serena, her husband, Dave and her assistant. Recommend them 1000x over!!

    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!

    Serena did a AMAZING job. Couldnt ask for anyone better. She captured every single detail that we asked for and then some. She went above and beyond the services she offered. Truly shes should be rated 10 stars.

    One of the best decisions we could have made during the entire wedding planning process was booking Serena Star Wedding Photography. Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully - but she was incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. From scheduling meetings and engagement photos, to the last minute pictures we wanted the day of the wedding, she was incredibly flexible and easy going. This is her passion and it is reflected in her work. We highly suggest meeting with Serena and booking her for any upcoming photo needs you may have - she's worth every penny!

    I was lucky to meet Serena at a bridal show and booked her that night for my boudoir photos! I knew I wanted to get them done, and after talking to Serena and looking at her albums, I knew she had the be the one to do them! Serena has such a welcoming personality (and awesome photos) that would make any woman feel comfortable to book with her! Well, I let some time go by (and rescheduled my photo shoot) because I ended up being so nervous when it came down to actually shoot, but eventually I made it to her studio- still nervous though! Serena helped me pick out what I should wear, I got my make-up done, and then began shooting. She helped me with the poses and explained some of what she was doing to make me feel more comfortable. It helped! She even started showing me some of the photos right on her camera. When I saw the photos, I could not believe how great they looked, and I felt even more comfortable! Serena made me look and feel like a model! She helped me narrow down the photos for my album (I went over the limit for the package I initially chose, because the pictures were too good to not use). I COULD NOT WAIT for my fiance' to see the photos!!! He LOVES them! Serena also took our engagement and wedding photos. They were absolutely gorgeous too! Our friends and families cannot stop talking about our photos to this day! Serena made us feel comfortable throughout the entire wedding planning process. I was thankful for the detailed emails and all of her advice throughout the planning. We highly recommend her!!!!! =)

    It was a pleasure working with Serena for my wedding photos. From the very beginning Serena was extremely responsive and flexible when planning engagement pictures. Even after our first date got rained out. Serena is one of the most organized people I have ever met. She had a packet of information I filled out that basicially pre planned the timeline of my wedding day. It was wonderful to have full access to all of my engagement and wedding photos! Serena was very attentive the day of my wedding, she worked well with her partner to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted. I picked up my album yesterday and I absolutely love it! Serena was a pleasure to work with and I'm thrilled with the quality and quantity of my photos. I would highly recommend Serena for any of your photography needs!

    This was by far THE BEST.MONEY.SPENT.ON OUR WEDDING.With cost, she was fair, especially for what she provides. She gives all of the photos that come out, allows downloads at your leisure, and takes a huge selection. She personally is one of the sweetest people we’ve met who was able to make us feel comfortable and relaxed which was huge on our wedding day as my wife's dress zipper broke. Serena helped significantly by keeping her calm. On the wedding day, her assistant was on time took extraordinary pictures of our wedding accessories around our house that matched our wedding theme making our first home part of our wedding day. She then, ala Serena, made everyone feel comfortable for a great set of photos with the groomsmen. During the ceremony, they were barely noticeable but amazingly skilled at getting perfect candid photos and prepared a list of portraits for after. What we appreciated was that she emailed and planned this out well beforehand. During the reception, they kept us on schedule, getting the photos we wanted but the best part was that while we were eating, etc she looked for amazing pictures to take which made us feel that she really cared.When it began to snow, she got us and took photos that looked like a fairy tale which made my wife unbelievably happy.And even when she was technically done, Serena kept taking photos. You can’t pay enough for her passion and love. People say that the DJ, food, etc is important for a good time but I really feel like its the people. For us, having our loved ones together, we could have had fun anywhere. The thing we couldn't replace was Serena. There is no doubt in my mind that she was the perfect and only person for the job. NO ONE could have done better in my mind and I will only use her in the future for any and all events we want photographed. So if you have any event, YOU NEED TO BOOK WITH SERENA!!!.NOW!!.we would have given her a 100 star rating and written more if I could.

    Serena was absolutely amazing! We spoke numerous times before the big day so we could finalize the schedule. She was extremely professional the entire day, as was her assistant. The photos could not have come out better! We will have a very difficult time picking out our favorites to put in an album. She was our favorite vendor of the day!

    I was fortunate enough to go to high school with Serena and know first hand what an amazing photographer she truly is! When my husband and I decided to get married, I without a doubt knew in my mind that I wanted Serena to be our photographer. She is extremely professional, affordable, organized, responsive to all questions/details, and most importantly she has extraordinary talent. Serena made our day so special with the experience that she gave us during our wedding shoot, and she captured moments that my husband and I will be able to treasure for years to come. All of our family and friends raved about the pictures that she took and complimented us on how great she was. She also got our pictures back to us very quickly and we were extremely pleased. I can't stress enough how great she is and we both highly recommend Serena Star Photography!!

    Serena was absolutely the best investment for our wedding to date. She has only done our engagement shoot and it has only made me more excited for the pictures she'll get at our wedding. She is perfectly professional while being fun and lively and provided us with such a comforting environment that we felt unbelievably at ease and could really be our selves. She's not pushy or overzealous like other photographers we had met with and you can tell she really loves what she does. And that's important because that lets me know she won't give me anything she's not personally satisfied with. I would recommend her a thousand times over to everyone everywhere doing anything lol. And knowing my soon to be wife, the only thing more stressful than the day going well is having a way to remember it all. and I have no doubt that Serena will be fantastic. I will be sure to review again after the wedding because someone like this, who provides not only what she promises but exceeds expectation, needs to recognized.
