About

Established in 1982.

We are a full service photography studio located in Aptos, California on the Monterey Bay just a half mile from the beach. We regularly service clients from Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito Counties, and have a smattering of clientele from all over the California Bay Area including the Greater Bay Area.
We are primarily social photographers focusing on people, individuals and groups, but we also do corporate work, business head shots, commercial product photography, and architectural photography.
High school senior photography is our specialty, and we photograph seniors from any school. We work with a variety of sets both inside and outside to move a senior quickly through an assortment of backgrounds to broaden their range of choice. On location photography is stress-free with the beach so close by. We like the energy of the seniors and strive to capture their spirit. Our greatest compliment is when parents remark that we caught their child's personality.

Great value! Wonderful photographers and photos. We love The Van Zante's Studio and will return for more photos as our marriage and family grows.

Van Zantes has been doing photography for my husband's family since he was a little boy. We didn't even look into other photographers and I'm glad that we didn't! They create an atmosphere that is welcoming and professional and will work to accomodate your plans and ideas. Loyd & Sherry take traditional portraits as well as candid to make sure that you have many options to choose from. We had so many wonderful pictures, choosing between them was harder than finding my wedding dress. There are many album styles to choose from and they offer many reasonable wedding packages. Their photos express the mood of the moment and the feel of the day. Since they also do family photos, I will never go to any other professional photgrapher again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
