Wedding Day Photographer

For starters, my husband and I were super nervous and anxious about picking a photographer (because we are from Florida). Zack called us the first day and walked us through all of his offered packages to assure that we were picking the right one for our special day. He was very professional and communicative from the start. He made sure that the wedding timeline flowed smoothly and also managed to capture ALL of the best lighting and shots. We are so pleased with our photos! While looking through our wedding gallery, my husband and I both said that Zack somehow managed to be everywhere all at once. Literally! Every angle. Every opportunity. The pictures are all absolutely perfect.

Zack has outdone himself. His work is incredible and his passion for his work truly shows.

Would 10/10 recommend him for your photography needs!

Phenomenal Photos

Zack and Tara Hawkins are truly exceptional at what they do. From the very beginning, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. As a couple who usually feels a bit nervous during photo shoots, we were so grateful for how they explained the process and put us completely at ease.

On the wedding day, they were a seamless part of the celebration. It felt like they were everywhere at once, yet they remained incredibly kind and approachable. Our guests even mentioned how wonderful they both were. No matter how many times we asked for a specific photo or a shot with a guest, they met every request with a smile and total professionalism.

The quality of their work speaks for itself. Their attention to detail and unique mastery of lighting bring a perspective you simply will not find elsewhere. Our preview photos are phenomenal, and we are already buzzing with excitement to see the rest of the gallery. Zack and Tara are worth every penny, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a wedding or event photographer.

Zack was awesome!

Wow what can I even say about our experience with Zack...it was perfect! He is truly talented and made our wedding day unforgettable. I was stunned when I saw a photo here and there as he was taking them. So many guests were so impressed at his hard work and positive attitude. He added to the fun vibe that day and for that we're so grateful! I'm already in love with our photos and everyone I share them with can't believe how great they look. We recommend Zack for any event you have but especially for a wedding celebration!

Hibbs Wedding

I will never stop recommending Zack. I would get married again just to get pictures from him. I just got the highlights from him from my wedding- the next day- and I cannot pick a favorite. I want to print them ALL! And the fact that more pictures will come? I’m stunned. You can tell that he puts his heart and soul into photography in every picture. It was such a pleasure to work with him. Everyone in the wedding party loved him and commented on how awesome he was. I am honestly sad my wedding is over and I don’t get to work with him. Just going to find an excuse to use him again!

Highly recommend

We planned an elopement within a month and were fortunate to book Zack to be our photographer. He was very professional, responsive and listened to and captured the vision I had in mind for photos and video. He was also very reasonably priced and we were very happy with the quality of his work. I would definitely recommend him and would hire him again if the need ever arises. Thank you, Zack!

Definitely an experience to remember

Zack took what my wife and I thought would be an awkward and uncomfortable experience and turned it into something amazing. He immediately took the wheel and made the shoot fun and easy.
10/10!
