Zarek is excellent at getting the best shots possible! He works very well with children and animals, too. We have used him for our wedding, maternity and family photos. His photos are always beautiful. We trust that he will do a great work every time.

Our wedding photos and albums are a treasure and it is all because of Zarek. He is very professional and accommodating, in fact he travelled with all his gear to St. Louis Missouri from Los Angeles to shoot my wedding. Besides the beautiful standard church and reception photos, Zarek shot some amazing photos of myself and my husband at Forest Park the day after our wedding. The best part? I got to wear my wedding dress again! We always receive compliments from people when they look at our wedding album. Zarek is an outstanding photographer!

We chose Photography by Zarek for our wedding, and he has been our family photographer ever since. Our wedding album surpasses any other we have ever seen!! All his photographs are outstanding, he has such a creative eye, and the most easy going personality! Zarek has since done our pregnancy shots, kids portraits, family portraits for both my immediate family as well as my large extended family, some head-shots for my daughter and husband, and even a fantastic pet portrait! He will go the extra mile to provide the highest quality images and best possible service, and the beautiful memories that he creates are worth every penny!! I continue to recommend him to all of my friends, and every one has thanked me! I am so glad I found him!

Zarek is an amazing photographer who is very creative and takes his art very seriously. The pictures he has taken of my wedding and family are always of an extremely high quality.

Zarek was great! We hired him to travel to NYC from Los Angeles to shoot our wedding. He was always professional, courteous, and did great work. Never once did him stop to take a break from the 100 degree heat and high humidity that we had that day. We also took some amazing shots in Central Park, Grand Central Station, and Times Square that we have having on the wall of our home. Zarek is always smiling and having a great time when he shoots. He was a pleasure to have around!

Almost 12 years later, and I still get compliments on my wedding pictures. I have referred other friends for headshots or pregnancy shots and they have ALL been extremely happy with the results. I cannot recommend Zarek more...he's amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
