    Zarek and team are wonderful wedding photographers! They get the money shots without being intrusive in any way. Zarek has a great personality and is very easy to work with. It is important to have someone accomodating and very capable with a camera for such an important, once in a lifetime occasion. Which is why were were very lucky to have Zarek with us on the big day!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Photography and Video By Zarek's reply:

    Diana, I am so happy that you are getting such pleasure from your wedding album and all the photographs. I have to agree, the session we did the following day was a highlight for me as well as a photographer. To have such an amazingly beautiful park to shoot an amazing couple was just the perfect combination. Thank you for flying me out to shoot your wedding and adding to my memories of one of my favorite weddings I have shot.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Imaginative, amazing and comfortable. That's Zarek and his work. You'll look at his photos---your photos---with pride and never look back. I know he captured moments of my family that I treasure on their own.
