Oliver and staff were amazing! Very professional and respectful of the intimacy of the wedding. They captured the day for memberable remembrances. The pictures are just beautiful! We spoke about what was and was not wanted and Oliver listened and produced.
With heartfelt thanks,
Susan Mogan mother of the bride

Oliver and his team were very professional in all aspects. It can be a challenge organizing family members and large groups of people to get the right shot. You need to be authoritative and decisive in directing people while taking into account lighting and angles, Oliver did it like a pro. We felt like we were on a professional photo shoot because Oliver knew exactly where he wanted us, directed us how to pose, and did that with the entire group. I've been part of wedding photos that take forever but ours were done within an hour giving us more time to enjoy the cocktail reception. In the end, it's all about how the photos turn out and they did not disappoint. Each moment was captured perfectly and included a nice variety of shots of us and our guests.

From start to finish Oliver was incredible, professional and patient. The locations he scouted were beautiful and the photographs turned out better than we could’ve imagined. What impressed us most is how easily Oliver worked with us and our family. He wrangled everyone with grace and knew how to work his magic with the young children when they didn’t feel like cooperating. I HIGHLY recommend using Zaria Studio for any future events and would be happy to be used for a recommendation.

Hiring Zaria studios/Oliver was the best decision I had. He made us both feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and provided the most spectacular photos for our engagement session. Our wedding was just 2 days ago but I know our photos will be stunning and exactly what I had envisioned. My husband has thanked me so many times for choosing Zaria studios as our photographer and I too am so lucky to have found Oliver. I will forever recommend him and his team for any occasion you are in need of a photographer.

We can't say enough about Oliver and his work!! He was extremely professional, showed up early, and went above and beyond to get extra and unique photos :) He did a whole separate shoot with my bide after I surprised her with a white silk robe only hours before the wedding! He also scouted out an amazing off site location for our "first look". By the end of the wedding all 75 guest knew Oliver and people kept coming up to us to let us know how "wonderful" our photographer was. We received our photos extremely quickly and the quality/quantity of the pictures was amazing! I would highly recommend Zaria Studios for any event! You can be assured the absolute best, most professional quality at an affordable price.

Oliver was an amazing wedding photographer.

If you're looking for:

1) Oliver's taste and style of photography, composition, color, exposures, etc

2) Someone that will make you and your partner feel confident, at ease, comfortable during the entire photo shoot

3) Someone that makes your family and guests excited, at ease and have even more fun than if he wasn't there

4) Someone that is professional, responsive, works well with other vendors and coordinators and just gets wedding photos

Then Oliver at Zaria is the photographer to choose

Oliver & Zaria Studios are THE BEST! It is difficult to overstate just how amazing Oliver and his team were through every single moment of our wedding, and, indeed, even in the lead up to our wedding! When we first reached out, Oliver contacted us and we all got to know each other over Skype; this personal touch added such a wonderful level of comfort for us. My (now) husband and I felt that Oliver knew us, and our story, and we hoped that this would add to the feel of the photos on the day... We were so right! Oliver and his colleague, Chris, were fantastic: completely talented and professional, but at the same time they really did become part of our wedding and of our amazing day. They brought out the biggest, most relaxed, and beautiful and candid smiles from all of our guests. Moments I couldn't have imagined they captured... they did!

I would give my highest recommendation to Zaria Studios - for those of you looking not only for stunning photography (really, really stunning!), but also for the fun, personable, and comfortable atmosphere, they are the way to go!!

When looking for photographers I chose Oliver because I liked the style of his photos. They are very natural and "in the moment", not staged or posed. If you are looking for someone to capture all of the special moments in a beautiful, simple and non-disruptive way, they are the ones for you. Aside from the outstanding quality of their photos, personally Oliver and Chris were extremely charismatic and made the day more enjoyable with their presence. They kept the party going with their energy at the reception...We got so many compliments about how awesome they were. Could not have asked for better photographers, they made me feel comfortable, relaxed and beautiful on our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
