I loved working with Seth and Desiree two years ago during our wedding! I'm reviewing our photos (again) and finding so much of the joy and beauty of the wedding day captured in their work. They were so good about finding gorgeous lighting and back drops throughout the day and mixing candids with directed photos. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera and were worried about feeling awkward, but none of that was an issue- we honestly had such a great time working with them. They were so good at providing direction, were unintrusive, calm and had a great sense of humor. They also scouted out the sites ahead of time and their level of preparation showed in how organized they were the day of. We couldn't be happier with the memories we have now, from photos with family and friends to really beautiful photos the rings, venue and all the little details we didn't get to see the day of. Cannot speak highly enough of them - I only regret posting this so late!

Dez and Seth were the perfect fit for us as our wedding photographers. They instantly made us feel comfortable and natural, like friends. The dynamic of having a couple take photos for your wedding also just feels right! The photos turned out just amazing and we were so, so happy with them. Everyone in my family loved looking through them. I would describe their style as the perfect combination between real-life and stylized. They also have a way of shooting that really takes advantage of light in all its forms - we got great photos throughout the day - from morning posed photos to beautiful dusk magic hour to night shots on the dancefloor. I would 100% recommend Zelo!

We met Seth and Dez at the Bridal Bazaar and liked that they came across as low key and not trying too hard to be on point with the latest trends. Their photography style was classic, which we knew would age well and not look dated in 10-20 years. We met up with them one on one and found they were as easy going as they seemed (which is great for people who aren't necessarily comfortable in front of a camera).

We hired them for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. During our engagement shoot, Seth and Dez were super patient with us and helped us look relaxed and natural. I'm not particularly photogenic, so when we got the photos, I was shocked by how many great photos there were of us (70+ that I loved)! We used them for both our save the date as well as our wedding guestbook!

On the big day, Seth and Dez were prepared and patient as we did almost all of our photos before the ceremony. They worked wonderfully with us (no surprise there), but also did great with our families who kept wandering off and the kids who weren't fans of the camera. They were also super accommodating of family who was taking photos with their phones, which was much appreciated.

Additionally, Seth and Dez were unobtrusive during the reception. They were capturing the important moments without constantly pulling my husband and I around, so we were able to visit with guests and enjoy the evening. We haven't received our photos (as it's only been a couple days), but if they are anything like the engagement photos, we are in for such a treat!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would encourage you to meet with Seth and Dez at Zelo Photography. You get two professional photographers (rather than one and an assistant) that are lovely to work with and do a fantastic job!

Zelo Photography was great to work with! We used them for our engagement and wedding photos. They were a fun couple to work with during the sessions. Our photos were beautiful! We got married at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and took our engagement photos in Balboa Park. They captured all the details on our special day that we weren't able to see--and it was awesome viewing the photos afterwards.

Do yourself a favor and hire these photographers! Of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, they were definitely our favorites! Btw, how do you not love that this is a wife and husband team?! You're getting 2 photographers, instead of needing to pay for an extra assistant to cover. At lot of photographers we looked at were priced for one photographer (same price range), but yet we would have needed to pay extra for another one.

They were super responsive, extremely flexible, and also just really fun enjoyable people to work with! Seth and Des have a great balance of letting us be us (to capture all the amazing candids) but they also have an amazing eye for artistic shots, where they would recommend different poses for us when we didn't know how else to stand/ pose. They made it fun to do photo-shoot and even laugh! What also stood out to me about them is their professionalism! We suggested two winery locations to shoot for our engagement session that they had never been to before. They showed up early, scoped out the locations, and suggested which locations to shoot and how to frame the shot. It was just extremely efficient, and so we got so many nice shots in! On our wedding day, we had a super packed day, but they came earlier than scheduled and started prepping and shooting. It was hectic on our wedding day, we fell behind our timeline (not the photographers fault), but still the photographers were flexible, not frazzled, and adjusted and worked to get all the shots in. So kudos to them!

Finally, we want to also say how much we appreciated their flexibleness!!! We took our engagement photos mid-august, and needed a quick turn-around time for the pics so we could use for our wedding in September. They were able to send us our final engagement photos in a few weeks, so that we were able to develop the pictures. We also received some sneak peak pictures post-wedding, which we really appreciated. We are waiting for our final edit wedding pictures to come back to us, but have no reservations that they will be great and awesome pictures like the engagement photos!

We absolutely loved working with Zelo Photography. We had a bad experience with a previous photographer due to poor communication and lack of follow through. We found Zelo through a friend and they were so easy to work with! They are professional and extremely fun. Our engagement session turned out amazing (props to them for showing up in 50 degree SF weather). We had so many favorites to choose from! The day of our wedding, through all the craziness they remained calm and took so many pictures, having an eye for great spots at our venue too! I'm excited about the shots we took in the rain -- yes, I trust them enough to stand in the rain because they are THAT cool. Excited to see how the photos turn out.

Seth and Dez are the BEST! We are so happy that we booked Zelo Photography for our engagement photos and wedding day. It was so great to get to know them and become comfortable with them during our engagement shoot, and it made the wedding day so comfortable since we already knew them!!

The thing that really drew us to them is that when you book Zelo, you ALWAYS get Seth and Dez as your two photographers. A lot of other companies send you the person that drew you to them + some random person with a camera in their hand. With Zelo, you get two legit photographers and they don't miss a thing!

The other thing that sets Zelo apart from the rest is that you get a USB drive with freedom to get enlargements, postcards, books, stickers, or whatever you might want.

Thank you Seth and Dez for the millions of amazing photos!!!

We really enjoyed working with Zelo Photography - the pictures came out stunning and we couldn't be happier. Seth and Dez are also really easy to work with - we found them to be very responsive and communicative, which means a LOT for wedding planning. Their prices are also the most reasonable we found - we selected them based on their style and photos we liked at our venue, and were pleasantly surprised that despite travel costs (they are in Socal), they were the most affordable. They delivered in so many ways - from the multiple portrait style family photos needed to satisfy the parents to many beautiful, natural shots capturing the full breadth of emotions. We also found it really helpful to have 2 photographers to capture separate "Getting ready" photos and all of the micro moments all night. All in all, really great experience and highly recommended!

Dez and Seth are amazing! They made much of the stress of our wedding so much easier to handle with their wonderful personalities and experience in the wedding photography business. The whole process was very smooth from our initial consultation, to the final minutes of our wedding reception. They had great idea for us to take our engagement photos at UCSD and Torrey Pines State Beach and every photo they took turned out flawless. Even with so much going on during the day of the wedding, they were able to capture all of the great moments that we had with our family and friends. Their passion and professionalism in their work is second to none and we couldn't have made a better choice in working with them!

Thank you so much Dez and Seth!

Seth and Dez were so much fun to work with! They photographed my wedding in La Jolla and were very responsive and thoughtful throughout the planning process. Email communication was great and they even helped me plan out the first look logistics based on their experience shooting in the Scripps / Martin Johnson house area. We chose Zelo because their portfolio on their site looked dynamic, fun, natural, and with great use of light and angles. They definitely stayed true to that on our wedding day! We also met up in person a few times to discuss our vision and we got along really well, which was a great sign.

On the day of the wedding, Seth and Dez made me and my husband feel at ease. They were fun, easygoing, and relaxed, and gave us good direction for amazing shots on the beach. I’m so happy with the photos they captured. They captured such a beautiful perspective of the wedding day in a way I didn’t get to see with my own eyes. Precious precious photos!! It did take the full 12 weeks after the wedding to get our photos, and the waiting was definitely tough, but worth it in the end.
