About

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Cresskill, New Jersey, about ten miles from New York City. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2002. I love photos that authentically represent the way things looked and felt, without being over-stylized. For the most part, my style is wedding photojournalism. I like to think of photography as “the art of real moments”. I have a low-key, quiet personality that fits in easily at a wedding or other event. I’m an attentive observer — capturing moments as they happen. I do give some direction for portraits, partly to create them efficiently, and partly to give helpful suggestions when appropriate.

Reviews of Zlatko Batistich Photographer

Highly recommend

Zlatko took our engagement photos in October 2022 in Central Park and our wedding photos at Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, NJ in April 2023. For our engagement photos, Zlatko was able to accommodate our very limited schedule to meet, and was flexible about where we could take our photos (first we were planning to take them in NJ but later switched to NYC). He was also flexible on timing as rain was in the forecast and we only had one day to shoot. He took a lot of care to get a variety of shots and they turned out beautifully. For our wedding, Zlatko was flexible in the shots we wanted and turned around our preview photos within a few days. He was able to catch moments on film that speak volumes that I surely wouldn’t have remembered without him there to capture it. Beyond his photography skills, he is extremely professional and friendly, and his pricing is transparent and reasonable. We enjoyed working with Zlatko and highly recommend him for your photography needs!

Spectacular Wedding Photographer!

Zlatko is a true gem. He is able to capture the true emotion in each moment without ever forcing it. He did everything and more to make our wedding day spectacular. He is patient, thoughtful, thorough, and incredibly generous. He even offered to stay beyond our planned end time for the sparkler send off! The photos are absolutely spectacular, and we could not be more thankful. We would recommend him without reservation and everyone!

Top Notch Wedding & Event Photography!

Zlatko was all we could've hoped for and more! A true professional, great communicator, and set us up for success on our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us both, our families, and found shots we didn't know could've existed...Not to mention, incredibly diligent when it came to processing the loads of amazing photos he snapped. Highly Recommend!

Flawless Photographer

Zlatko was the best photographer we could have asked for on, before and after our special day. Zlatko did our engagement shoot in Central Park. He walked through the park to all of our favorite spots and had wonderful suggestions himself. We were blown away with our engagement shoot.
Before our wedding, he helped us establish a timeline to ensure we got every picture we wanted. His attention to detail is impeccable. My biggest request was for Zlatko to make sure I wasn’t squinting in the majority of pictures, and some how he pulled it off. He also brought a wonderful second photographer, Alejandra Villa. We could not be happier with the pictures we have from our wedding. Our memories will last a lifetime thanks to Zlatko and his team.

Best Wedding Photographer Out There!

I highly highly recommend Zlatko! He photographed my wedding in September in Westchester and the photos could not be more gorgeous. First of all, Zlatko is extremely responsive and organized so you feel very confident leading up to your wedding. Zlatko has an eye for all of the best spots and lighting so you end up with beautiful photographs. We had Zlatko (without any additional photographers) and he didn’t miss a single shot from first look to ceremony to dancing. Don’t think twice- book Zlatko!

Amazing Experience with Zlatko

Zlatko is a phenomenal photographer and my wife and I highly recommend him. Thoughtful, friendly, creative, and accommodating from the very beginning, he was a pleasure to work with before and during the wedding. He bonded with me and my wife, our families, and guests, and made the process all the more fun. His work was superb and we were very pleased with his photos. He will not measure efforts to please his clients, goes the extra mile, and makes everyone extremely happy. Don't even think about it: go for Zlatko! Daniel & Suzy

Blown away

We are blown away by Zlatko’s talent. He photographed my sisters wedding 10 years ago and we loved her pictures so did not hesitate to book him for our engagement session and wedding. Our engagement pictures were beautiful and candid and we did not feel awkward at all. Our wedding pictures look straight out of a magazine. Zlatko was non intrusive and somehow at the right place at the right time all day long. From getting ready to our sparkler exit he captured every single shot we asked for and then some. The edited images are amazing and very organized. He had over 2000 edited pictures for us on the website, easy for us to download watermark free and he also put them all on a hard drive for us. Couldn’t ask for more.

A wonderfully skilled and sweet photographer

Zlatko was such a great guy to work with! Before the wedding, he helped me to organize the flow of the day and gave me great advice from his extensive experience in photography. On the day of the wedding, he was flexible with schedules and locations and very well prepared. He catered to what we wanted, but also guided us into some fantastic shots. He was everywhere at a moments notice to capture the perfect memories. We loved working with Zlatko and highly recommend him!

We cannot express how much we loved how Zlatko Batistich photographed our wedding. From all of the little decor details to our first look to the special candid moments of laughter and dips on the dance floor, we felt like his photographs and editing presentation beautifully told the story of our wedding day. Our friends and family all raved about the timeless and elegant photos.

Zlatko really worked tremendously hard -- all day and all night for us -- to capture every possible moment of both of us getting ready all the way to our last dance. His journalistic style is completely unobtrusive, so he's in the background versus in-your-face, which helped me as the bride stay calm and let us enjoy our reception.

It was such a pleasure working with Zlatko throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive and couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful -- not to mention patient and gracious. (We also took our engagement photos with him, which I would also recommend as a great way to learn his style.) Zlatko is a true professional whom I whole-heartedly recommend to anyone for their big day. You will not go wrong!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
