Anthony Ziccardi!!!! If I could give him and his team more than five stars I would! We had AZ, Mike, and Kurt (video) as our team for our most perfect day ever. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer team that doubles as your biggest hype man, timeline guru, immaculate vibes, and a part of your family for the day…. you’ve got that with booking the A-team.

From the first meeting, you could tell that Anthony is genuine and has so much passion for his job. There’s a reason he’s a preferred vendor and has been in business for 25 years. He has a homework packet you fill out prior to your wedding day to ensure that he gets exactly what you envision and no photo or person is forgotten. Perfect for type A brides who likes to make sure everything’s accounted for. Or even the type B bride so you don’t have to worry about anything because the A-team has got it handled!

The minute AZ and his team arrived to the wedding day I was able to take a deep breath. From there on out, he ran the show and man was I grateful! Everyone clicked with him from the start, he matched the vibes and kept everyone in good spirits. Throughout the entire reception all our families and friends were asking how we knew our photography team because they fit in like family. We actually had multiple people ask for their information since that night because of the impression they left! Our guest have not stopped raving about them and are just as excited as us to get the photos and videos back! (We get asked daily).

Photo and video are a huge investment. It is literally the only thing you’re able to take with you from your wedding for years on. There is not one ill word I have to say about the A-team. We only have 8 photos so far and I’m in love with every one of them! Let me tell you, we would spend what we did and 10x more if we had to. It was ALL worth it. The vibes alone, the professionalism, the family feel, the structure and timeline, the honesty/photo spot recommendations, the quality… all 10 stars plus. Moving forward, the A-team will be doing all our family photos. We found a piece of family in a vendor we had no idea would play such a big roll in our day.

It is 100% worth booking, “your friend, Anthony”. I promise you, it will be beyond perfection!

Absolutely can not reccomend Anthony Ziccardi Studios enough! Beyond professional, thorough, personable, and captures the day thoroughly.

From the moment my husband and I met Anthony, we knew we wanted him to be our photographer! He was kind, made us feel so relaxed, and was extremely professional! So far we’ve only received our sneak peek pictures (we got married six days ago) and we’re already in love with the results!! We can’t wait for them all!

Anthony Ziccardi not only captured our wedding, but did it in the most beautiful ways imaginable. Without him and his team, our most precious photos wouldn’t exist. Thank you so much for your team and dedication. We can’t express our thanks more, nor could we recommend you enough. A picture is worth a thousand words, but yours are priceless! Thank you so much!

Anthony was nothing but incredible from the start. We met him for our engagement shoot and then he also photographed our wedding. He made us feel comfortable and like we were friends from the start. The attention to detail and the personal questions they ask make sure they know you as a couple. The whole day ran smoothly and we did not feel rushed whatsoever. He made it feel more like we were hanging out with a friend than a stranger taking our picture. Our whole wedding party raved about how incredible he is. Our photos are INCREDIBLE and we are so happy with them. We had Lisa as our second photographer and she was so sweet and took some amazing photos also. We would recommend Anthony and his team to anyone and everyone (and we already have)!

From start to finish, Anthony Ziccardi Studios has been nothing short of amazing. The team is full of professionals who are always responsive, happy to help, and very personable. Anthony was the photographer for my sister's wedding and seeing his work from it, I knew I wanted to have them be in charge of the photos for our wedding. We were grateful to have both Anthony Ziccardi and Mike as our photographers for our wedding because not only did they capture beautiful pictures, they were like family. In many instances, I saw Anthony more as a good friend than just a photographer. Not only did he and Mike take incredible pictures, they also made sure that the day was stress free and fun for us. We absolutely recommend them for your wedding, you would not be disapppointed!

Choosing a photographer and videographer can be one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning because they’re responsible for capturing one of the biggest days of your life. I grew up in Sparta and always heard amazing things about AZS, so booking them was thankfully an easy choice for me. They’re well-known and highly reputable, and for so many reasons. AZS is incredibly easy to work with, responsive, affordable, professional, knowledgeable, and beyond talented.

I also really appreciate how stress-free AZS makes the entire wedding process feel. They created a detailed timeline for us and offered really helpful insight and advice to make sure everything flowed smoothly. They made the day so easy and fun, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our day. I even got my photos back just one month after the wedding, which was quicker than I expected for us getting married during their busy season. Every photo came out so good, and so many people have complimented them!

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about AZS and the work they do. Thanks to them, we get to relive such a special day over and over again through their lens for the rest of our lives! I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience and can’t recommend them enough. We hope to work with them again in the future! 😊

Our wedding on 10.26.25 was one for the ages and I couldn’t have had a smooth day without Anthony and his team. From the first meeting, engagement shoot, final details, and getting our photos they were professional, personable, and timely. Anthony was our lead photographer and wow is all I can say. As a type A bride I was worrying about all the little details until he arrived. He gave me a pep talk and said he was taking over the day from there and all my stress melted. He truly calmed the nerves and let me live on the moment. I can’t thank Anthony enough for that! Now the photos. Pure magic. He got all the shots I wanted and even ones I never thought were possible. Our wedding day was documented so perfectly and I’ll cherish all the photos forever. I could not recommend Anthony Ziccardi and his team enough!

Choosing Anthony Ziccardi Studios was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Anthony is truly one of a kind. He is so personable, kind, and attentive. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely comfortable and genuinely treated us like apart of his family. His wife Sarah is equally as wonderful, and together they bring such warmth and professionalism to the entire experience.

Their team was incredible as well. Kurt, who was our videographer, did an amazing job capturing every detail and emotion of the day. Our video is absolutely beautiful and something we’ll cherish forever. Samantha, our second shooter, was fantastic. She caught so many special moments and helped create the most stunning gallery of photos.

Our photos are so beautiful, our video was everything we hoped for, and the entire team went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Our venue, Rock Island Lake Club, was captured perfectly. They truly highlighted the beauty of the day and all the emotion behind it.

We can’t thank Anthony, Sarah, Samantha, and Kurt enough. If you’re looking for a team who will make you feel cared for and deliver exceptional work, Anthony Ziccardi Studios is the absolute best. We highly, highly recommend!! They are simply the best!

We had the most incredible experience with Anthony Ziccardi Studios as our wedding photographer at Rock Island Lake Club on May 30, 2025. From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for and more! We knew we wanted this photographer before we even knew what venue we would book!

From the first interaction in the office, they were professional, personable, and genuinely caring. By sheer fate, we had Anthony shoot our engagement photo shoot. He took the time to understand our vision, and more importantly our personalities. Before we even got home from the shoot, we had emailed and requested he be the photographer for our wedding day (although truthfully we would have been happy with anyone on his incredible staff).

On the big day, he and Karina blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every beautiful detail with such an artistic eye. They are so knowledgeable about the work and the photos that would be bested, and we trusted them endlessly!

Anthony and Karina made us feel so comfortable and confident, even in the most emotional and high-energy moments. They were never intrusive but always right there when it counted, capturing magic without us even realizing it.

The photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every image radiates emotion and tells the story of our day so perfectly. We couldn’t stop smiling (and tearing up) as we looked through them. They delivered not just pictures, but memories frozen in time...and as I write this I've only seen a handful. We cannot wait to receive the rest!

We truly couldn’t imagine having had anyone else by our side for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Anthony Ziccardi was more than just a vendor—he is now a friend and truly felt like family. If you're lucky enough to book them for your wedding, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our special day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a meaningful part of our celebration!
