Do not look any further - book Zak! Zak is an absolutely incredible photographer. I knew every single shot he took would be incredible. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable. It honestly felt like working with a really good, old friend who genuinely cared about how your special day turned out. And I don’t just mean the photography - I mean the entire day, start to finish. He makes sure you’re feeling good, you’re not overwhelmed, you’re enjoying yourself .. I cannot speak highly enough about Zak as a photographer and person. My husband is already asking me if I think Zak will take photos of whatever huge milestone comes next in our lives! Thank you Zak for making our day even brighter… you will not regret booking Zak as your wedding photographer. - Jenna H.

…Anyone can take a camera and pose a picture, but Zak can see moments as they are happening and this is the stuff that makes beautiful, raw and emotional pictures. On the wedding day, Zak worked incredibly hard. He is calming, reassuring and maintains his focus on the couple 100%. He is the kind of guy that makes you feel like you are the only people in the room. This is a special and rare quality to find :) The guests at our wedding were commenting on how wonderful he was and everybody was honestly so impressed. When we got our wedding pictures back, we were so unbelievably happy with all of them. They were every bit as amazing as we knew they would be… We honestly couldn't have wished for someone more amazing and talented to trust with photographing our wedding day. Thank you Zak Zavada, you legend! - Fiona E.

Zak is extremely kind and has a remarkable talent for putting everyone at ease... I don't love having my photo taken but he made the entire process easy and painless. He was so flexible and accessible throughout our entire engagement…The groomsmen LOVED his laidback approach and the bridesmaids couldn't be more thrilled with how all of the photos turned out! The photos made all of us laugh AND cry which speaks volumes of Zak's incredible talent. We love that the photos he captured of our wedding day are real moments and not all staged portraits. We have gotten TONS of compliments on our photos from family, friends, and even strangers! Looking at the photos makes us smile and remember the excitement of our wedding day perfectly. I have no idea how he was able to get so many amazing photos while managing not to be intrusive AT ALL… I wish I could give him more than 5 stars because he truly deserves it…. thanks Zak you are AMAZING!!!” - Jacqueline F.
