    Amazing!

    Zach and his team were absolutely incredible!!! He got us a sneak peak back so quickly and they are truly exquisite! I have gotten so many compliments on them as well. My guests, bridesmaids, family etc were saying how they loved him and his team too! He made the day go so seamless and perfect! I have recommended him to everyone who I know getting married in the area!

    The best wedding photographer!

    Garter and Whiskey was the first wedding vendor we hired back in 2018. I saw their work and knew I had to have them capture our big day! Our wedding date was set for April 4th 2020 but due to covid we had to postpone. We decided on a 2021 date but when my husbands impending deployment got pushed back, making him unable to attend our new date, we decided to cancel the big wedding all together and do something with just the two of us. Zach was incredibly compassionate, helpful, and understanding during this time and I think that speaks volumes to his character and his business because I cant say the same for all our other original vendors. Zach is fun,confident,and extremely easy going which made my husband and myself feel completely at ease the day of. We got our photos back in record time and let me tell you.....they are perfect! Booking Garter and Whiskey is hands down the best decision I made in planning my wedding and I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend doing yourself a favor and hiring them. You will not regret it!

    Amazing photos

    We worked with Zach three times - for engagement photos, a 2020 backyard wedding, and then a 2021 wedding reception. Every time, our photos were even more beautiful than we imagined. Garter and Whiskey has a talent for capturing the small fun moments and expressions, and I am so happy we booked them. THANK YOU!

    Beyond amazing!!

    Where do I even start with how amazing Garter and Whiskey is!?! Zach is not only incredibly talented but he is so kind and patient with his time and photography! We had a blast with Zach at our engagement session and both weddings we had! We've had so many people compliment our photos and say they are magazine worthy! Zach is the absolute best decision you can make for your wedding!!

    We love zach and the whole garter + whiskey team!

    I was lucky enough to meet Zach when he was the photographer at my sisters wedding and knew that when it was my turn, I was calling him! He truly feels like a member of our family! My husband was extremely thankful that he was so easy to get along with and laid-back. He's very talent and I'm obsessed with all our wedding pictures! He's the best and I highly suggest everyone hire him!!!!!

    Amazing!

    Zach and Kat were so wonderful to work with! At both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, Zach made me and everyone else feel comfortable and at ease. On top of that their work is phenomenal! Zach is also very prompt with communication, very flexible and has a quick turnaround to receive pictures. I HIGHLY recommend using Garter and Whiskey as your photographer!!

    Zach was the one and only photographer we met with! From the start it was like talking to a friend you've known for years- no awkwardness, or forced conversation. He is down for anything and just wants to make his couples happy. We had a blast during our engagement shoot and were bummed we had to wait 7 more months to take more pictures. The wedding no was no exception. He was there with me all day and got the best candid photos of me and my groups (which was my top request). He became "one of the girls" and just hung out with us. His wife, Cat, was just the same. She took over the guys pictures, which is no easy task, and they loved her as well! During the ceremony and reception they were very discreet but could be found at any moment, if needed. I received our photos super quickly and was SO impressed with how perfect they captured our love and celebration.

    Our experience with Garter and Whiskey was absolutely amazing ! I met up with Zach prior to the wedding at our venue. He walked the property with me and I pointed out some spots I was really interested in taking pictures at. He compiled a timeline and sent it to me prior to the wedding, which was extremely helpful. The day of the wedding Zach and his second shooter arrived on time and were extremely professional throughout the entire day. We had so much fun with them, he was making my entire family, bridal party, and the groomsmen laugh all day long. He made me feel calm on an extremely stressful day. We even did a last minute unexpected mini boudoir shoot as I was getting my wedding dress on. We received our pictures very quickly, which was nice. Most importantly the images are absolutely beautiful. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how beautiful they turned out. I highly recommend Garter & Whiskey for your wedding. You will not be disappointed. - James & Kristin 6/9/18

    Zach and Cat are beyond talented. Hands down my favorite vendors of them all! They were so great with keeping us on schedule but also set the most relaxed and fun tone for the big day. Thank you Garter and Whiskey!! Can't wait to find more reasons to work with you :)

    We LOVE Zach and Cat so much! I was married November 10th, 2017 and we already have our pictures back!
    Zach is so much fun and so responsive. I loved my engagement photos and my wedding photos. They were so much fun and so kind.

    I had been following Cat and Zach for years because of their excellence in athlete photography, When they branched into weddings as Garter & Whiskey when my husband and I were first dating, I knew we were destined to have them photograph our wedding. From our first meeting he immediately put my now husband at ease. My husband is an extreme introvert and getting pictures done was a source of anxiety for him, however Zach immediately put him at ease. Our Engagement pictures were so easy and turned out phenomenally well for being taken in June in Georgia.
    On our Wedding day Zach and his second made it so easy to relax and enjoy the moment. They were unobtrusive and documented the whole day beautifully. He even knocked out family photos with 140 family members in 20 minutes (I was amazed)! As someone who works in the design field myself, I know I couldn’t have hired a better photographer to document the most amazing day of my life, these photos will hang in my home forever. The icing on top of the amazing pictures, was that we received them back in 10 days!

    Have you ever met someone who immediately treated you like family? Garter & Whiskey was that way for my fiancé and I. From the moment we met Zach, we instantly felt at home. From engagement photos, to the day of our wedding, we felt so comfortable with the Garter & Whiskey team. They are very willing to answer any question you have (no matter how small), and were so incredibly helpful in putting together our day of wedding timeline as well. Not to mention, they're incredible photographers and videographers, who gave us our wedding photos and video in lightning speed! Our photos turned out amazing, and they were so helpful with telling us and members of our family how to stand, pose, etc. Compared to many Atlanta-area photographers, they're also very reasonable (and best of all, they're just awesome to hang out with). I can't tell you how many of my other wedding vendors mentioned how refreshingly friendly and willing to interact with my wedding party Garter and Whiskey was (compared to some photographers who may be aloof), and this made our special day that much more fun. Do yourself a favor, and go ahead and book these guys!!

    I was recommended to Garter and Whiskey by a friend and they did NOT disappoint! Zach is very responsive and flexible to work with. He produces great work and you really feel like he is your best friend throughout the entire process. Love his style and that he will take into account your style as well. LOVE and HIGHLY recommend Garter & Whiskey!

    Meeting Zach from Garter and Whiskey was such a twist of fate, but I am so glad I did!!! I found Zach in my photographer search to take a few boudoir pictures before my wedding. I enjoyed working with him so much that I hired him on to be the videographer for our wedding, even though we weren't planning to have a video made. He was so easy to work with as a photographer and made me feel incredibly comfortable.

    His videography skills are incredible as well! Zach got amazing drone footage of our reception and the lake that we were married on. His video managed to capture all of the fun and joy of our wedding day with friends and family. He got our video back to us within two days and my husband and I both cried watching it on our honeymoon. He has such a talent, is enjoyable to work with, and is so reasonably priced. Even if you were not considering videography before, I highly encourage any bride to talk to Zach because he changed my mind and I am so glad that he did!! The video we have was worth every penny and my husband and I love the video we now have to remember our favorite day.

    Booking Garter and Whiskey as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made in planning my wedding. Cat and Zach were easily one of my favorite vendors. They went above and beyond when it came to our wedding. They made us feel really special. They traveled to our venue (an hour and a half away) to take engagement photos. Zach always responded to emails quickly. They are so dependable! Another reason I enjoyed having them as our wedding photographer was their personalities. You are hanging out with these people all day. They are really cool, easy going, and fun to be around. My wedding party was obsessed with them. Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding. You will be so happy you did!

    I left photographer/videographer up to my fiance and he seriously dropped the ball. After crying after receiving our engagement shots, our fabulous wedding coordinator put up in touch with Zach. With a killer portfolio, a great work ethic, quick responses to our emails, and some faith we left our wedding photos and video up to Zach and Cat without scheduling a 2nd engagement shoot. I think during the day of our wedding I got a sneak peek of 3 photos...each one better than the last. The turnaround time was way faster than I expected and every single picture was amazing!

    I was SO happy that our coordinator swooped into the rescue and gave us Cat and Zach. They are a dynamic duo husband+wife team and will make your day extremely memorable. I highly recommend them to ANYONE!

    Photographer made everyone feel special

    Garter and Whiskey are fully engaged from the moment they arrive at the wedding. They are prepared, ready and on point the whole time. Zach made every effort at capturing each and every person in a meaningful way. The bride and groom's pictures are simply stunning - every single one of them. It was an intimate wedding due to COVID. The photography is just as grand as you would imagine from a large wedding, except in this setting this was even more special. We can't be happier with Zach and his team - the BEST.

    Cat and Zach are an awesome team that do high quality work!!! I hired Garter and Whiskey for my wedding videography and Boudoir shoot. The shoot was extremely laid back and professional and they made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I hired Cat to do my make-up which was a great decision as I have my makeup done professionally on a regular basis, so I have very high standards, and she blew it out of the park. Zach rocked it as well with finding good locations to shoot, suggesting great poses and staying upbeat and positive the entire time. The videography was no different. I am absolutely satisfied with every part of filming. They weren't in the way at all, brought good positive energy and captured all the right moments. When I received the video within a week of the actual wedding I was pleasantly surprised to have such a quick return and even more surprised when I watched it. It blew me away as well as our guests!!! They did an amazing job at capturing the moment on video and displaying it in a way that allows you to feel the emotion all over again. Please check the video out online. Garter and Whiskey are budget friendly, quick, responsive and have extremely high quality work that is not the traditional or typical boring video.

    Cat and Zach were recommended to me by several friends for photography and when we spoke they mentioned they also did videography.
    They traveled down to our destination wedding in Florida and did amazing work! Zach has a drone to get incredible ariel footage of the site. I was nervous having a videographer might deter people from dancing but they made sure they were not intrusive and actually probably had more people dancing TO the camera. I highly recommend them!

    Zach went above and beyond capturing my wedding and reception. He created such a beautiful video and listened and got the shots that I really wanted to be able to view again and again for years to come, and got some really creative shots that I could have never even dreamed of. The song choices, the shots, the awesome work he did with his drone - all are so unique and definitely was his signature touch. I highly recommend checking out his work and working with them - you will not be disappointed! They have a YouTube channel where you can see some of his great videos as well!

    From the first conversation I had with Zach, I knew Garter and Whiskey was who we were going to book. I called one evening anticipating to leave a voicemail and have a returned call within a few days. Instead, Zach called back within half an hour and we talked for almost an hour. I felt right away like he "got me" and the vision we had for the wedding. We didn't want traditional wedding photography where everything was posed and cheesy, but rather a story-telling of our day from beginning to end. Cat and Zach were both very accommodating throughout the planning and it was never more than a few hours before I had a response from them. Zach worked with me to figure out exactly what we wanted and was even willing to make adjustments to make sure both the photography and video fit exactly what we wanted. On the day of, Cat and Zach exceeded expectations even more. They arrived early, which was after trekking around Athens for my coveted drone shots over downtown, campus and the stadium. Both were a joy to be around and I never felt like they were intrusive on the experience, in the way, etc. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they blended in the crowd and I received so many compliments later on about how great they were. What was most important to my husband was not seeing me before walking down the aisle. Zach coordinated with our planner, MOH and best man throughout the day to make sure we weren't at risk of seeing each other. He also made sure we got every shot we wanted during our cocktail hour and we made it back to our venue right on time for our entrance - this includes literally running down the streets of Athens, flagging down our transportation and nicely telling a few people to get out of the way :) I felt like he had everything under control and not once worried about him missing a minute. We were thrilled with the end result, which we received back in only a few weeks. I would highly recommend Zach, over and over again.
