Missy R. Sent on 12/27/2021One of the best parts of our wedding!
Zak was the ultimate professional and our wedding photographs came out better than I ever could have hoped. The wedding was outside and it was a bit cold but he captured everything so beautifully! I hired Zak based on the referral of a friend and would highly recommend him to anyone getting married in the Scranton area. -

Melissa H. Sent on 09/03/2021Fantastic Photography & Great to Work With!
Amazing to work with! Zak was our first vendor chosen for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with this decision. He was responsive, clearly communicative, set expectations early, and helped to guide us as we tried to figure out what exactly we needed, making us feel very comfortable. On top of that, and very very importantly, the photos taken were absolutely stunning and beautiful!! We loved Zak's natural style & he managed to capture amazing photography not just of key wedding moments, but also beautiful candids and unexpected moments throughout the night. Zak went above and beyond to make sure he could support us and to find beautiful photo opportunities we hadn't even thought of. In addition, he was such a pleasure to work with and everyone involved enjoyed working with him as well: incredibly friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful in every piece of the process. We hope to work with Zak & his team again when we have the chance and we love the memories he captured!! -

Kathleen H. Sent on 04/20/2021Best money I spent!!
I can’t say enough good things about Alex and Zak! Our wedding had to be postponed a year due to Corona virus and Zak was so easy and flexible to work with!
Alex was our photographer the day of our wedding. He was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous the morning of the wedding. Alex completely put my mind at ease. He even went and got my uncle who is disabled and extra mask when his didn’t fit! Then helped him down the rocky staircase. He was so personable and all my guests made comments on how much they loved him!
I was even more nervous during the ceremony and after I forgot to take a bunch of group photos. Some how Alex got everyone! I really didn’t want super posed pictures and Alex did just that. You can literally see all the love in the room through the pictures! Love Alex and Zak literally looking for an excuse to hire them again! Best money I spent on that day. I love that I can relive it through these pictures. -

Amazing Photography
Zak was amazing! So happy we choose him as our photographer. He not only took beautiful photos but helped ensure everything was running smoothly. Most importantly he helped me stay calm/sane, while my family pulled me is 8 million directions and had some of the best advice throughout the evening. He truly captured the authenticity of our celebration, getting all the shots of our fun silly moments we want to remember forever. Zak was very prompted getting the photos back to us and providing a shareable view for our family. I highly recommend him! -

What a great team!
I booked Alex for our wedding, and I cannot speak more highly of his service and expertise. We were set to get married in May of 2021, but our venue fell through after we had booked Alex with Zak Zavada Photography and made a down payment. We decided to push our wedding to Thanksgiving, and do a small, intimate ceremony. We explained to Alex that if we were to lose our down payment due to this change, we understood. Instead of doing that, Alex went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing. He traveled to our venue and was a complete professional all the way through. When faced with the difficulty of the pandemic, he rose to the challenge.
Additionally, as a person, he is incredible. He was patient and allowed several little ones to follow him around as he photographed our wedding, while capturing some great candids along the way! I cannot say enough great things about Alex. If you get the opportunity to book Alex or the Zak Zavada team, do it. You will love your photos and the experience. -

There really isn’t an intense enough word to describe Zak and the service he provides. Zak is incredible!!!! We had a very simple, private, play by ear wedding 9/28/2019...and he was so easy going, professional, helpful, and changed to accommodate us and our special day. He was incredible at paying attention to detail to make sure we looked our best. Gave great directions, very patient, and worked hand and hand with my husband and I to give us everything we wanted and then some. At the last minute we changed our mind and needed him to stay a little after agreed upon and he was extremely accommodating and sweet. My very small wedding felt larger then life thanks to Zak. Everyone, literally EVERYONE raved about him. We found Zak on Wedding Wire because we live in GA and were going to PA to get married and knew no one. He was great about communicating with us from the first e-mail requesting information to the very minute he said thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your day and left. In fact my husband who never does reviews....INSISTED on us writing Zak a review and has been over my shoulder the entire time. Wanting to make it absolutely clear that if you want an OUT OF THIS WORLD, more then you could imagine experience with your wedding photographer HIRE ZAK! If he’s not available and you have wiggle room on your date change it to accommodate him, you won’t be disappointed! -

Zak and Kristen do amazing work! They went above and beyond to provide us with beautiful wedding and engagement photos as well as extraordinary photobooks! Zak is kind, a pleasure to work with and always made us feel comfortable. He is truly a professional and has a knack for creating images that will take your breath away. Zak has an eye for natural beauty and captures those candid moments that cannot be reproduced. I cannot say enough about Zak and his photography skills- I would highly recommend Zak as your photographer!!!! -

Amy V. Sent on 08/27/2019A Pleasure to Work With
My husband and I worked with Alex Dubois of Zak Zavada Photography. We could not have been more pleased. He was professional, patient and totally worked with our vision for the day. As this was a 30th Anniversary Vow Renewal(a wedding in every way but name) our ideas for the pictures were a little different. We wanted some of the posed pictures but also wanted so many of the candid moments, we wouldn't get to observe. We walked from the hotel to the venue and he was right there asking questions about us while photographing at the same time. Our guests loved him! He was there and not there at the same time in the best possible way. I have attended weddings where the photographer would almost seem in the way. This was not a problem for us. Because he was so kind and personable, we relaxed and I believe got some totally made of awesome pics. To be totally fair and honest, we have not seen any yet(just happened 3 days ago) but I had to review our amazing experience. Definitely check out their website. -

Tamara D. Sent on 08/12/2019Love love love him!!!
I don’t even know where to start! Zak is not your average wedding photographer, he’s truly an artist. He sees the beauty beyond the obvious. He did our engagement as well as our wedding photos and I couldn’t be happier with them. He made sure we got all of the wedding party and family shots done quickly so we could get to partying! He also waited until the light was just perfect to take me, my new husband and our 7 week old baby out to the gardens of our venue. Zak is an absolute joy to work with personally and professionally. I wish we could get married all over again just to hang out with him:) I really cannot say enough to describe how much I love his photos and I feel so blessed that he was there to capture our special day. -

Beautiful photography
Our wedding was on June 22nd. We just received our photos. Let’s just say every single photo was amazing. Zak was so professional and down to earth. He captured not only the best parts of our wedding but memories we will get to see for the rest of our lives. Hands down the best photographer! Highly recommend his work. -

Erin Sent on 10/03/2018So happy we chose Zak to photograph our engagement session and wedding-- he was extremely professional and personable. Our photos are stunning, we received digital copies in less than two weeks. He seriously made us look like models! His personality made us completely at ease on one of the most nerve-racking days of our life.

John Sent on 08/26/2018Zak is such a special talent whom we were blessed with capturing our August wedding. He belongs in a tier of his own for the lengths he went to ensure every aspect of our engagement, wedding planning, and wedding went flawlessly. When picking a wedding photographer, you obviously are looking for someone that is talented-- but also someone that is a guest at your wedding surrounded by close family and friends. Zak had me sold the first time we met with him when he glowed talking about how he fell for his long time girlfriend (now wife!) and how of all the work he could highlight-- he went with candid photos of his mother. I thought anyone that felt this way about the love of his life and family-- would be able to capture those same emotions during our wedding when it mattered. This was on display when he trekked down to Dilworth Park in Philadelphia to revisit the scene where I proposed for our engagement shoot and later for our wedding shots in Pittston/Tunkhannock/Dallas, PA. He got all of our photos back to us in remarkably under two weeks and each one is more beautiful than the last. They are timeless and each one feels like he paused time to freeze moments that we'll never forget. To echo other reviews, he invested himself in us for our special day with minimal equipment, became a part of my family, and left guests raving about the remarkable job he did long after everything settled. I highly recommend Zak to all couples looking for a wedding photographer and can't wait to put together an album of all of our captured moments.
