Working alongside together during a nor'easter was a challenge, while we could not control, and yet Zev's ability to pivot and provide flexibility to our client was unparalleled and without the sacrifice of quality.

We couldn't be happier in our decision to work with Zev and Michaela on our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and we will treasure them for a lifetime. Zev met with us multiple times ahead of the big day so we had a super clear vision of our timeline and schedule.
He perfectly captured everything we loved about our venue and Boston, and somehow made two camera-shy, reserved people look completely natural in front of the camera with minimal posing and direction. The photos feel so authentically us, and the way Zev captured the full spectrum of emotions from our loved ones throughout the day is truly remarkable. Everyone I've showed our photos to has asked: "WHO is your photographer?"
Beyond his incredible artistic talent, Zev was an absolute joy to have on our wedding day. His thoughtfulness and willingness to help wherever needed made such a difference! He and Michaela were exceptionally calm, kind, fun, and reassuring, keeping things running smoothly. Somehow, our whole gallery was ready in about three weeks - which was so impressive!

Zev is a wedding photographer no brainer...not only is his photography absolutely incredible but he is truly the BEST to work with (both day of and leading up to the wedding..)
His photography is a true work of art (the entire album is WOWOW) - but how fun to hang out someone who feels like a friend and is also politely teaching you how to pose (and not be awkward..) - and deliver the most stunning results.
My favorite part about Zev and his work (aside from his just amazing personality..) is that he was able to capture the wedding exactly as it was - the nerves, the emotion, the joy, and the good vibes on the dance floor. He also knew our venue so well (in addition to lighting, etc..) and took us to the best spots to just get insanely beautiful shots.
Thank you, Zev. You are a dream photographer :)

Not only was their work outstanding, but they are also great people. We highly highly recommend.

Zev photographed my summer wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, and I can't say enough about his professionalism and talent! He took exceptional photos that captured every tender moment I had with my husband, the beautiful ambiance at the venue, and lots of gestures and facial expressions from our guests that we never would've picked up on during the jam-packed evening. Zev also has a terrific sense of humor and easygoing communication style that really resonated with my bridesmaids and family. Don't hesitate to reach out to Zev if you want a photographer who will take memorable photos AND take care of you!

Zev photographed our wedding last month and my husband and I both so enjoyed working with him! From our engagement session to the actual wedding day, Zev was super professional and really great to work with. He definitely knows how to make having hundreds of photos taken of yourself both relaxed and fun! He listened to us about what specific photos we wanted and made sure to capture those along with so many other ones. After our wedding, he worked quickly to turn around our photos and send them to us. We are thrilled with them! We’ve had so many people comment on the photos saying how amazing they are. We’re so grateful to have such wonderful photos to remember our day!

I have been a wedding planner in Boston for over 15 years and have never worked with a photographer as amazing as Zev. His photos speak for themselves- they are beautiful, emotional, and true to story of the day. What REALLY sets him apart (and I think we've had at least 25 weddings together so I can truly speak from experience), is how he shows up. His energy is so beautifully positive and calm. He is incredibly organized and knows the timeline like the back of his hand so we never lose any precious time with him figuring out what to do next, the best way to get from point A to B, etc. As a planner, this is HUGE. He is a partner to every couple from the moment they sign on with him. I haven't had one couple work with him and not say that he was one of the best choices they made. He is a true gift and I feel so lucky every time that is available for one of my weddings.

Choosing Zev as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning he made the entire process feel easy and stress free. He took the time to answer every question, helped us build our timeline, met with my family, and made sure every detail was thought through ahead of the big day. We felt supported long before the wedding even arrived.
On the wedding day he was so much more than a photographer. He kept us calm, organized, and relaxed while still capturing every single moment. He brought such a steady, positive energy and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He goes above and beyond in every way and becomes the person you can rely on throughout the entire day.
And the photos are truly exceptional. His eye for detail is incredible. He captures everything from the big emotional moments to the small, fleeting ones you do not even realize are happening. The quality is beautiful, the colors are stunning, and the way he photographs people feels natural and effortless. Nothing looks stiff or overly posed. Every image feels real and full of emotion. His work is the perfect blend of artistic and authentic, and he delivers the kind of photos you dream of when choosing a wedding photographer.
