Jan Sent on 01/19/2025Elegant and cinematic - the best wedding filmmaker !
I reached out to Zela Films just 1-2 weeks before my wedding at Oheka Castle, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. My wedding was an absolute dream, filled with unforgettable moments, and I knew it would be a challenge to capture all the grandeur, emotions, and ambiance of the day in photos or videos. I wanted to find the perfect person to preserve those memories, and Zak exceeded every expectation.
When I stumbled upon one of Zela Films’ videos on Instagram, I was immediately captivated by his style—a perfect blend of timeless elegance, artistic sophistication, and cinematic beauty. Zak’s work didn’t just document our wedding; it truly brought the heart, emotion, and magic of the day to life.
He was incredibly accommodating with all my requests and a joy to work with throughout the process. The videos he created are extraordinary, and each time we watch them, we are transported back to the most cherished moments of our day. If you have the opportunity to book Zak for your wedding, don’t hesitate—you’ll treasure his work forever 😍 -

Jenna Sent on 04/18/2023Hire Zela films to capture all of your beautiful moments forever!
Hiring a videographer, was one cost that my Husband and I were leaning towards not having. However, after seeing Zak’s beautiful work, I convinced my Husband that hiring Zela Films was a must!
Zak not only has incredible talent, creativity (that is not like other videographers), and attention to all of the little details, but he also took so much time to cater every video to us as a couple, our wedding mood and what was important to us on our special day.
We will never regret hiring Zela Films for our special day because now we have beautiful films that we will cherish always.
If you are still debating on hiring a videographer or are torn for who to hire—1000% hire Zak with Zela films!!

Gabriella Sent on 04/04/2023Perfect Wedding Filmmaker
As a bride, I cannot recommend Zela Films and Zak enough! Zak was the filmmaker for my wedding and he was absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, Zak was kind, professional, and attentive to our vision for our wedding film.
Zak had a clear and creative vision for our film and he executed it flawlessly. He captured every moment beautifully and created a film that truly reflects the love and joy we felt on our special day. It's been almost a year since our wedding, and my husband and I have watched our film countless times. Each time, we are transported back to that magical day and reminded of the love and commitment we share.
In addition to being a talented filmmaker, Zak is an all-around great person. He was easy to communicate with, prompt with responses, and always had a positive attitude. He made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
If you're looking for a wedding filmmaker who is talented, professional, and easy to work with, look no further than Zela Films and Zak. I am so grateful that we chose him to capture our special day, and I know that you will be too! -

it's hard to find the words to describe the appreciation that I have for Zak and the Zela team. Not only are they unbelievably talented, but they're such joys to work with. I get chills each time I watch our sizzler. They were able to capture the love, feeling, and immense happiness of our day through an authentic lens. I couldn't recommend Zela more. Thank you for the beautiful memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. -

Zak was absolutely AMAZING to work with! He was so understanding, working closely with us through the good times and the frustrations of planning a wedding! Don’t even get us started on the video… BREATHTAKING is an understatement! Words cannot describe our appreciation for his art and personality! We are forever grateful that we were able to have him at our wedding to capture all of the love that day! If Zak isn’t a part of your wedding yet, you better make sure he is! -

Lindsey Sent on 01/01/2022Incredible!
I couldn’t recommend Zak and his team more! Just the way that he perfectly captures not only every detail of the day (including moments you don’t even realize are happening), but every detail of love and happiness is incredible. The quality and professionalism is next level. I wouldn’t change a single thing about having them there to create the most memorable and beautiful video of our wedding! -

Elisa Sent on 12/31/2021Felt like a movie star
I’m obsessed over our highlight film and our full length video! Zak was beyond so sweet and accommodating from start till finish. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was hard enough but when you find kind souls who want to make you feel special and treat you like a friend it makes the experience a whole lot more enjoyable. If you want your wedding video to feel more like a cinematic montage of your beautiful day you should go with Zela Films. I'm so glad my husband convinced me to do a wedding video since beforehand a lot of the videos I've seen in the early 2000s were very simple and music tacky as if someone from college put it together.
I would recommend his talents to anyone who wants to enjoy watching their video a million times and wants a piece of art as their keepsake to remember one of their most special days.
Thank you so much Zak for making us smile 🙂 -

Dakota Sent on 10/25/2021Best. Videographer. EVER!
Zela Films was recommended by a family friend whose son used them for his own wedding, saying nothing but positive things about their experience. From the moment we reached out, Zak made the process so straightforward and easy. My husband Lucas and I knew as we started planning our day that videography was important to us. The day goes by so fast and its nice to know that those moments are captured and are there for you to look back on for years to come. Unfortunately, like many others, we found ourselves making the tough decision to postpone our big wedding until 2022 due to COVID. But after being together for almost 10 years, we decided we still wanted to get married and celebrate with immediate family and close friends on our original date. Zak pivoted with us and was there to capture our minimony. Months later, as we sat and watched our wedding video and ceremony, we were in awe of Zak’s artistic process and found ourselves watching the style of video we had always wanted. We were constantly pausing the videos to say to each other how happy we were to have Zak around and that we had picked Zela Films. We are so excited to have Zak as part of our vendor team for our I Do Part 2 next year! He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and walks you through his ideas for your big day from start to finish. Zela Films did an outstanding job capturing our minimony and we can’t wait to see what next year’s big day brings! -

Brielle Sent on 10/04/2021So Happy With Our Choice!!
We are so happy with our decision to go with ZelaFilms as our wedding videographer! We knew our search for a videographer was over when we came across ZelaFilms and saw how they were able to tell stories through their work! Zak was absolutely amazing to work with! When we had to change our original date and venue due to Covid, Zak was so nice and accommodating! The films came out so beautifully and we are so happy that we will be able to watch the memories again and again as the years go by. Thanks for everything Zak! -

Jennifer Sent on 04/05/2021Wedding Cinematography at its finest
Words cannot describe how pleased we are with our wedding films and our experience with Zela.
From the start, Zak and Lydia were wonderful to work with. Like so many couples, we experienced several reschedules due to COVID. When state restrictions canceled our micro wedding two days before our date, we quickly shifted our plans with our amazing team of vendors. Zela was understanding and seamlessly adjusted to fit our last-minute plans.
After viewing our final film, it is clear that Zela's attention to detail, talent for storytelling, and cinematic vision is of the highest quality. They are a team that you want a part of your story. -

Zela Films did an incredible job with our videos! My husband and I are blown away! The beautiful edits, the special moments captured, it was everything we were looking for and so much more! Wonderful, and down to earth people to work with! We will continue to recommend them for years to come :) -

Jasmine Sent on 01/28/2021SO happy we went with Zela Films!
It was great working with Zak and Lydia! I wasn’t sure about the logistics of videography during a wedding at first (how do they get all the shots and film we would want, how do they know what to capture and when). I am happy to say that they captured everything we could have wanted and more! Our films are such a beautiful representation of our wedding day and are something we will cherish forever. We couldn’t even tell we were being recorded throughout the day, Zak blended in so naturally with everyone and everything that was going on that day. He also worked very well with our photographer to ensure nothing was missed. I cannot say how happy and blessed we feel to have made the decision to go with Zela Films! Definitely one of the best decisions we could have made. -

Kimberly Sent on 01/15/2021The absolute best
Choosing to have Zela Films as a part of our wedding was absolutely the best decision! Zack and Lydia are so wonderful to work with- not only are they talented and professional, but they helped to calm me down with I was so nervous! We just passed our one year anniversary, and started the tradition of watching our wedding video every year to remember our big day. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience with Zela Films! -

Lauren Sent on 01/10/2021Want to relive your wedding day anytime you'd like? Choose Zela Films.
I stumbled upon Zela Films and their brilliant work on IG shortly after securing our wedding date and fell in love with their videos, their brand and their style almost immediately. We actually hadn’t really budgeted for a wedding video to be honest (which became even more unlikely when COVID hit and our entire wedding remained up-in-the-air for several months) but when I found myself legitimately looking forward to the new wedding videos (of other couples) that Zela would post, I knew we needed to work with them. My now husband and I eventually made the decision to move forward with our modified wedding plans and booked our last vendor: Zela Films. Zack and his team were so awesome leading up to the wedding, and even more so on the day. They blended right in with the flow of the day and evening so seamlessly (everything was shot so naturally, during and in between takes with our photographer) and even though much of the ‘filming’ took place really almost unbeknownst to us, Zack and his team managed to capture the most incredible moments, angles and overall feeling of our wedding day, which we can now relive whenever we'd like. To all the new brides and grooms out there who may not know for sure if you want a videographer/cinematographer, I’m telling you now: you do, and you DEFINITELY want it to be Zela Films. We cannot say THANK YOU enough to Zack and his brilliant team. Your work is so incredible... an art really... and something we will forever cherish. -

Jessi Sent on 01/08/2021Amazing Incredible!
We hired Zela Fims for our elopement ceremony on Moraine Lake in Banff National Park (Canada) which obviously required quite a bit of travel and logistics. Zachary was so organized, punctual and made the process seamless! I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The finished product was absolutely beautiful. It captured our love, the scenery and all of our most favorite, cherished moments perfectly! We are so grateful that we have this everlasting reminder of our special day! -

Can I give 1000000 stars for flexibility?
I can't say enough about the Zela Films team. My partner and I got engaged 01/2019, hired Zela ~03/2019, and got married 07/2020. As you can tell, 4 months prior to the wedding is when COVID/lockdowns hit. If Zack and Lydia are half as sweet, accommodating, and understanding as they are in the midst of a pandemic you are in amazing hands. They are just genuinely good people. I initially reached out to them because of the quality and uniqueness of their videos (the proof is in the pudding, check out their Instagram and website). Without harping too much on COVID, they pivoted along with us a total of 4 times ending up with a dreamy elopement in the mountains. I should add they had never done a wedding like this before. The venue, Promise Ridge, I wouldn't have even known about if it weren't for Zack and Lydia. Needless to say, these are people that actually care about you, your day, and your vision. This is who you want on your team. -

Kristin Sent on 01/02/2020Zela is amazing!
Zack and Lydia did an amazing job capturing our wedding! We were so pleased with their friendly and professional attitude. We felt like we were already friends with them and we felt so comfortable. Our photographer, Gabe McMullen, photographed Zack and Lydia's wedding and they worked so well together during our wedding. It was awesome that Zack and Lydia arrived at the venue early to capture film in the area. From watching some of their other wedding videos, we were so excited about Zela's unique style. Our videos turned out AMAZING and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. They gave us a perfect mix of creativity, beauty and love. We highly recommend Zela Films! Thank you both! -

Zack and Lydia of Zela Films are absolutely incredible. My now-husband and I met with them to discuss who we are as a couple, music and styles we like, etc. We realized during that meeting how much we liked Zack and Lydia, but also, how easy they would be to work with for our wedding. We gave Zela free creative license over everything-- and it was the best decision we could have made.
Despite an insane, unexpected heat wave, Zack and Lydia did not add to the stress of the wedding at all (and never once complained about the brutal conditions). They arrived early to ensure their equipment was functioning and that their angles were perfect. As a team, they were never seen but captured everything-- a truly non-instrusive part of our wedding day. We received our teaser film just a few days after the wedding and the highlight film was sensational. The Zela team is responsive, professional, and truly artists.
Unlike larger competitors, Zela takes its couples, timeliness, and product seriously (go look at their portfolio - it is incredibly unique, just like each love story). We felt respected throughout the process.
I could not submit a higher recommendation-- I would INSIST that future couples use them as the least stressful and most extraordinary vendor for your wedding day! We look forward to watching our video every anniversary and thank you so much to the Zela team for capturing so much emotion and beauty on our wedding day!! -

Maggie Sent on 11/04/2019The Dream Team of Wedding Videographers
Zack and Lydia are about as good as it gets when it comes to wedding videographers. They are extremely talented, professional, and easy to work with. I was on the fence as to whether or not I wanted to hire a videographer but once I saw their work I knew I had to hire them. The way they were able to capture our special day is truly remarkable and my friends and family still rave about my wedding video. If you are looking for a videographer that will truly capture the emotion of your special day in a cinematic and beautiful way then Zack and Lydia are it. -

Adam Sent on 08/05/2019Outstanding service and final video!
When we saw Zach and Lydia's videos before our wedding, we knew we had to have them. They were very responsive to all our questions (and we had SO many questions), explained everything very well, and were easy to work with in general. On the day of our wedding they managed to keep the filming both fun and laid-back and made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. They were also super flexible and accommodating with some very last-minute requests. We absolutely loved the final videos, which to us really captured the vibe of the wedding and allowed us to relive it. We would work with them again in a heartbeat, worth every penny! -

Zach and Lydia are simply the best. From the very first meeting, down to the day of our wedding they, were always professional, down-to-earth and calming. As hectic as the day was, these 2 were a driving force in capturing all of the best moments. We can't wait to see the finished product as these two truly have a gift! -

Rachael Sent on 01/20/2019Amazing, attentive & professional!
My husband and I were beyond happy with this dynamic husband and wife duo. From the very first meeting to our wedding day, and a few requests made by husband, Zack and Lydia listened and delivered! Our “Coming Soon” video and our “Highlight” video was absolutely amazing! So much artistic talent! Our full length video had every touching moment from start to finish! My husband and I hardly even knew they were there, yet they perfectly captured all of the beautiful moments of our special day. You’d truly be missing out if you didn’t book now!! My sister booked Zela Films for her upcoming wedding this July in Philadelphia, after seeing the amazing work Zela Films delivers.
Zack & Lydia,
You two are truly amazing at what you do! You both deserve all the successe. We could not have been more pleased! Thank you SO much!
