    Book! You won't regret it

    Zack and Tara are the best duo. They helped make my special day so seamless and go without a hitch. They coordinated very efficiently with my other vendors; like a well oiled machine. From the first meeting they were so helpful! Even offering support and advice for other wedding related things even if I ultimately didn't book with them. As an out of state bride, this absolutely sold me. I am so thankful that we chose them to help capture the day. I was an indecisive bride and they were so patient with me.

    Book them, I promise you won't regret it.

    Blown away! We could not have made a better choice!

    I am struggling to find the right words on how to describe Zack and Tara Photography but I will give it a go! It boils down to we could not have asked for better photographers. We talked with Zack and Tara over the phone for a meet and greet when we were in the process of looking for a photographer, after we hung up I said to my now husband, these two are our photographers. There was no doubt in our minds. They provided so much information (tips and tricks) for us it was incredible. We had our engagement shoot in April of 2022. That’s when we actually met Zack and Tara in person and it felt like we had known them forever. They immediately put us at ease and most importantly they let me and my fiancé (at the time) be ourselves. Our engagement pictures turned out incredible!
    We could hardly wait for our wedding.

    Fast forward to our wedding March 25th 2023, Zack and Tara blew us away! So did their videographer Justin. They were non intrusive and were exceptional at getting our guests to pose with such gentleness that it made it fun for everyone. Our family and friends could not stop complimenting what a wonderful job they did!

    The best part of our journey with Zack and Tara is they are not just photographers to us, they became our friends who were there to capture the best day of our lives. We highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

    Beautiful Pictures!

    We are so happy that we chose to hire Zack and Tara for our wedding! They were extremely responsive and communicative throughout the process leading up to the wedding, and we’re very friendly and receptive to any questions we had. Day of, they did a great job directing both us and the wedding party in poses and positioning. We received the proofs for our pictures only a couple days later, and the whole photo set in less than a month. We are thrilled with how the pictures turned out, and cannot wait to see the wedding video!

    Phenomenal photographers & people!

    Amazing is an understatement when it comes to Zack & Tara! They were a dream to work with! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding day, they both made the experience stress free and so fun. We first met them at our engagement shoot where it was like catching up with old friends. They made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were STUNNING!! On our wedding day, Zack & Tara really took control and guided us throughout the entire day to keep us on schedule.
    Zack & Tara felt more like family at our wedding who just happen to be amazing photographers rather than people we hired for the day! I cannot say enough great things about these two! The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful and wish we could relive this day over and over! If you are looking for photographers who not only take wonderful pictures but are genuine, caring people - look no further! They are simply the best!

    Absolutely Amazing from start to finish

    If you are consider Zack and Tara for you photography/videography needs. Stop wasting your time and BOOK THEM NOW!!!! They are absolutely amazing from start to finish. My wife gave me one job and til this day she still mentions that she is forever in debt to me for finding Zack and Tara. They are beyond professional every step of the way but yet they become some of your closest friends. They genuinely care about your event just as much as you do if not more! They walked us through timelines, outfit changes, poses, the whole nine yards. Me and my wife are not very photogenic, we are sometimes awkward and we do not like taking pictures! But they made us feel so comfortable and guided us through everything. The pictures are of the highest quality and the video is insane!!! All of our friends and family have been raving about the quality. They say the pictures are the best they have ever seen and the video is like watching a movie! Please take my advice and just book them, I promise you will not be disappointed! They were worth every Penny and more! Who else sends you a thank you gift and album after everything is all said and done. I’ll tell you who, Zack and Tara!

    Best photographers in the game

    I can’t express how thankful I am that I found Zack and Tara! I found them randomly through googling for wedding photographers and although I had a few other photographers I was looking into, something just kept drawing me towards them. It was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. They are just genuinely good people who are also amazing at taking photographs. They helped to make sure the wedding ran smoothly, everything was captured, and really made the whole day worry-free! My maid of honor is even using them next year for her wedding after meeting them at my wedding!

    Best decision yet

    I was recommended to Zack by a friend that used him for their wedding and booking him for our wedding was hands down the easiest and best decision we ever made. At our very first consultation meeting, it was never a doubt in my mind that we were going to choose Zack to capture the most important day in our life. For our engagement shoot, rain got in the way of our original venue plan, so he recommended downtown Norfolk at the pagoda. He was absolutely right because those were some of the most amazing pictures with awesome backgrounds! All the way leading up to our wedding day, he kept an open line of communication, sent reminders, and never once made us feel stressed out. On the wedding morning, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed keeping up with timelines and everyone asking me questions, and he took the time to sit me down, get me water and talk to me about other things until I was calm enough to continue on with the day. These words are not nearly as much as I would love to rant and rave about his and his wife's work. I could thank him a million times for the beautiful photos they captured together and it still would not be enough. If you're in the process of looking for an awesome photographer, look no further! Thank you again Zack and Tara!

    Zack was absolutely amazing to work with! From doing our engagement photos to our wedding day, we couldn’t ask for anything better. He will bring as many assistants as he feels he needs for the day of the wedding, which was great for our big wedding. I’m in love with every photo!

    We had a wonderful experience with Zack for our engagement and wedding photos. He made us feel completely comfortable during our engagement shoot it helped us loosen up and have fun and fully enjoy the moment. On our wedding day he showed up early which was great because he was able to capture our bride and groom gift exchange moment and I will forever cherish those pictures. Our wedding pictures are amazing and look like something out of a magazine it’s a year later and we still get compliments on them . I recommend him to everyone he is so professional and friendly and great pricing .

    We are so happy that we found Zack to photograph our wedding. His flexibility made the process so easy and we are thrilled with how all of our photos came out. We are grateful to have these memories saved in such a beautiful way. Zack was kind, professional, and so easy to work with!

    We can say enough good things about Zach. We were one of his first weddings but you would have thought he had done 100 before ours. He captured some really fun and beautiful moments and really helped us to relax. He even put up with my bridesmaids and I singing Disney songs on our way back from the salon. He was incredibly professional and friendly and let us spend as much or as little time as we wanted doing formal pictures. The poses he guided us to really captured who we are. We are so lucky we found him and still count him as a friend today.

    Zack & Tara Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Erin, they are greatly appreciated. You and Juan are awesome!

    Beautiful Photos

    Zack and Tara did an amazing job on my wedding photos. I continue to receive complements about them! They were also flexible with us as we planned our wedding out of state and postponed multiple times due to Covid. However, at times, it was difficult to contact Zack, as he took multiple days to respond. We sent a shot list to him before the wedding and he failed to take pictures of my mother and me, my entire family, and pictures with my flower girls. They also appeared rushed and did not capture the entire wedding from start to end. Overall, I think they are wonderful at what they do and am happy with the photos I received!

    Zack's overall photography skills are good. However, my wife and I are displeased with the quality of our wedding photos. First, communication was subpar. Zack was very hard to get in contact with and would take a long while to reply. We were promised that Zack's wedding photography was going to tell a "story" from the start of our wedding until the end. We were promised pictures of details like the centerpieces and decor details. We received numerous posed pictures of us, reception pictures, and few pictures of us getting ready. We do not have pictures of our favors, guestbook table, card table, or bar set-up just to name a few of the personal touches to make our day OUR day. Additionally, we have no pictures of our centerpieces. We don't have pictures to allow us to see those little details that made our wedding unique. This is comparable to other couples Zack has shot, who are straight couples, and have numerous photos that complete that "story" as I previously mentioned. Of course we cannot go back to our wedding day, but if we were to do it again, we would have found a photographer who was more LGBTQ tolerant and delivered what was promised, if not more.
