Your New Jersey Wedding Photographers
our wedding day deserves to be documented with care, artistry, and an unwavering commitment to your experience.
As New Jersey wedding photographers, our team believes the best wedding photography is about more than beautiful images—it's about preserving the joy, excitement, and genuine moments that make your celebration unforgettable. From elegant ballroom receptions and historic estates to waterfront venues along the Jersey Shore, we document weddings with an authentic, vibrant approach that allows you to stay fully present while we preserve every meaningful moment.
Because so many couples want their memories told seamlessly, we also offer professional wedding videography, with most of our clients choosing a bundled photo and video collection for a cohesive experience from one trusted team. No matter which photographer or filmmaker is by your side, you can expect the same thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, and commitment to creating imagery and films that reflect your personalities, your relationships, and the incredible energy of your wedding day.

Your wedding deserves a team that works together as seamlessly as the day itself. By offering both photography and videography under one roof, we create a cohesive experience from start to finish—one vision, one team, and one effortless timeline. Every collection also includes your full gallery of high-resolution images along with all of your original, unedited photo and video files at no additional cost, because we believe the memories from your wedding day should always belong to you.
Our philosophy is simple: genuine moments will always outshine forced poses. We keep the atmosphere relaxed, fun, and natural so you can focus on celebrating while we preserve the joy as it unfolds. It's an approach that has earned the trust of hundreds of couples, more than 350 five-star reviews, Hall of Fame recognition from The Knot and WeddingWire, an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and recommendations from many of New Jersey's premier wedding venues. As a small way of giving back, we're also proud to offer special pricing for teachers, nurses, first responders, military members, and others who dedicate their lives to serving our communities.
We cannot recommend Shotwell enough for your wedding. Their entire team was incredible and consistently went above and beyond both before and during the big day. Not only were the photos excellent and we received a ton of compliments on them, but everyone was very personable and always made us feel at ease. Please consider hiring Shotwell for your wedding!

The whole Shotwell team were so easy to work with! The communication from everyone was out of this world! On our wedding day Anne, Rosana and Jose were the ring leaders of our crazy bridal party, followed my very detailed shot list and made sure we were relaxed and stress free. They made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures came out better then we could every imagine, we can not pick a favorite! 10000% would recommend Shotwell to everyone

All of our pictures came out better than I could have possibly imagined. The pictures are all beautiful and we have memories to cherish for years to come. If you need a
photographer with a great eye, you need them!
