We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! Zach made the entire experience so fun & engaging, putting us at ease and capturing us so naturally & perfectly. He knew exactly when to let moments unfold organically & when to give us direction. The photos are everything we could’ve hoped for & more!

So happy we chose Zach as our wedding photographer! My husband and I aren’t all that comfortable in front of a camera, but Zach knew exactly how to make us look our best without us feeling overly posed. He was completely on top of everything throughout the wedding and seemed to always know where to be and how to make the right photo happen. When looking for a photographer, I really just wanted photos that would feel timeless and heirloom-quality, rather than something designed around what looks good for social media. Zach more than delivered with pictures that feel genuine and like something we’ll always treasure. We would highly recommend Zach!

We reached out to Zach for a last minute maternity couples shoot and to say we are happy with the results is an understatement!! My husband in particular is super picky when it comes to photographers so when we found someone else quickly after I asked him to take a look I was very happy and definitely loved Zach's style! We got lucky it was a slower season for him and he was able to work us in quickly and the turnaround on the photos was super fast. The final images totally captured the fun feeling of the shoot itself, which Zach does such a good job of managing and directing to make it all feel fun and natural. To top it all off the investment was such that it doesn't just have to be a once ever few year thing and with a little one on the way can imagine wanting to work with him for other fun milestone moments more regularly. Definitely going to have him do a family shoot once baby is here! Thanks again Zach!!

I can't say enough about Zach. Not only is he truly one of the most talented photographers in Austin, he's so easy-going and laid back that it takes that added level of stress away from your event. As a wedding planner, I've seen him capture breathtakingly beautiful photos, but he also did a photoshoot with my team and I recently. I asked him to work outside of his usual style and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. I tell him constantly that he needs to raise his pricing (he's THAT talented) because what you get for the value is unmatched. He is ALWAYS my go-to for any client who's looking for a photographer for their event.
