    Engagement Pics were a dream!

    Zoe did an amazing job with our engagement pictures. We are beyond happy with the quality work she delivered and the timely manner. Zoe helped us throughout the entire session. I honestly was very nervous since it was my first time getting any professional pictures but what a great experience. She guided us and provided enough pictures to choose from for all wedding pictures. If we end up hosting our wedding in STL, we definitely will hire Zoe in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her. Easy to book. Easy to communicate. Just amazing!

    Boschert Wedding

    Zoe and her husband Josh were the perfect team to photograph our wedding day. Zoe was so helpful and most of all, patient during the planning process. These two brought the perfect positive energy that I needed on my wedding day. They made sure we were all having the most fun we could have. They were also really great about listening to my needs. We had guests arrive very early and I did not want to be seen by all of them yet. Zoe and Josh were so great about directing people around and making sure I felt comfortable. I will never forget how amazing they were to us and how special it made our day. We got back even more photos than I was expecting. Our photos capture every moment and detail of the day, even the moments I missed because I was busy or talking to a family member. Not only that, but they are the most high quality photos, with so many different backgrounds and poses. We had so much fun playing with my long veil and the photos are like something out of a movie. My husband Cody and I are so thankful for the experience you guys gave us and the stunning, timeless photos we have to look back on forever.

    Awesome engagement photographer!

    Zoe is an amazing photographer. I booked an engagement photo session at Missouri Botanical Gardens in August with Zoe. Unfortunately, it was one of the hottest days of the year, but Zoe was super enthusiastic and made the photography session easy. My husband and I are very introverted and neither of us have ever done a photo shoot, but Zoe was great at directing us and making the photo shoot fun! I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful engagement photos. I ordered prints from her online store and the metallic prints are absolutely gorgeous. We received several hundred gorgeous pictures and will cherish them forever. Thanks so much to Zoe for her amazing photography skills! We will be doing all future photoshoots with her!

    Fun and Relaxing!

    Zoe did a great job capturing our engagement photos. She made the experience enjoyable and comfortable. We took photos at Faust Park in STL and she was knowledgable about poses and picture spots. She made taking photos together fun and we are looking forward to her capturing our wedding too!

    Beautiful Photos

    We booked Zoe for our engagement pictures. We found her through an online search and like many of you, we went through her portfolio and read all the reviews before contacting her. She was responsive, accommodating and she does not disappoint!! We had our dog with us and she was great directing all of us. Photos are beautiful and she provided a lot of different options. We'll be booking her for our wedding day . Definitely would recommend her to capture your special moments.

    The MOST Amazing Photographer!

    We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! From helping to determine our wedding schedule to capturing the most incredible pictures of our big day, Zoe went above and beyond! You know the pictures are amazing when you want to cancel all your weekend plans to continuously scroll through a 2000 picture gallery.

    Great experience

    We loved working with Zoe and her husband on our wedding day! Although it is such a happy time, weddings can be stressful and her laid back personality helped me feel at ease. Most importantly, our pictures turned out beautifully! Also, my friends were so impressed with how quickly we got all of our pictures back.

    The BEST photographer around!!

    If you’re looking for authentic, classic engagement and/or wedding photos, Zoe Life Photography is for you! Zoe is so skilled at creating and capturing the most romantic and beautiful moments. We looked though so many photographers, wanting more of a natural photo style rather than the more bold/dramatic style out there which just didn’t feel like us but seems pretty popular these days, but when we looked though Zoe’s portfolio, we were so excited - it was just the style we were looking for and she 110% delivered that for both our engagement and wedding photos.

    We scheduled a last minute 1-hour engagement shoot with her in St. Louis when I was in town for the week and couldn’t have been happier with our (300+!!) photos. We were so relieved that she travels for weddings! Since we were going to have a packed wedding day, we decided to book her and her second shooter (her husband, Josh) and it was great to have photos of both bride and groom wedding parties getting ready and through the day! They did an AMAZING job, fully capturing the beauty of our outdoor waterfront garden venue and producing amazing photos in the full spectrum of lighting from bright Florida mid-day sun, to sunset portraits, to speeches under a spotlight after the sun went down and even people having fun on the dance floor (2,600+ amazing photos from 12 hours of shooting)!

    Pros - She was super responsive and accomodating in setting up our engagement shoot only a few days ahead of time and throughout planning for the wedding; she was great about coaching us into cute and romantic poses where we still looked authentic and natural and captured our love in such a sweet and genuine way; she has a very thorough pre-wedding questionnaire to get all the info needed to make sure she knows what you want to capture on your day and makes sure to deliver!

    Cons - Travel costs added up pretty fast (but that wasn’t Zoe’s fault!). But even with the travel costs, it still wasn’t as expensive as some of the Miami photographer we were shown by our planner and she is SO much better!

    Bottom line- if you see Zoe’s portfolio and like her style, do not hesitate to book her! She turned my husband and I into models we never knew we were and we have the best engagement and wedding photos we could have ever asked for and that we can cherish for the rest of our lives!

    The Amazing Zoe!

    Zoe is absolutely wonderful to work with and she takes amazing pictures! We used Zoe for both our engagement and wedding pictures and we could not have wished for better pictures. She knows exactly when to catch you in the right moment and it is so easy to work with her. My husband does not like having pictures taken and he had such a great time on both occasions because Zoe just makes it so easy! Thank you Zoe!

    Captured our day perfectly!

    We can't stop looking through our photos! Every time we do, we get to relive a little bit of the magic of the day. Zoe was so easy to work with, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is saying a lot for us!), and captured all of the emotion of our day beautifully.

    Fantastic and Professional to Work With!

    Zoe and her husband Josh made an unforgettable team for our wedding day! After our pause from covid, we were able to jump right back in and she was on the ball! Any questions or advice I needed, Zoe was my wedding guru. It has been a roller coaster putting this wedding together, but having a strong vendor like Zoe has made all the difference. I loved her style as soon as I saw it and her relationship with us was nothing less than warm and professional. Quick to communicate and always had our vision in mind for our wedding day. Shawn and I thank you and your husband for helping us create lasting memories on our big day. Thank you Zoe and Josh!

    Simply Amazing

    Zoe was simply amazing. I can't thank her enough for capturing our special day. She was so kind and professional and in some moments, you forgot she was there and those were the pictures that I love to relive. Seriously every picture is my favorite pictures and I am so thankful we have these memories for the rest of our lives. I can't recommend Zoe Life Photography enough.

    talented, professional, reliable

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zoe. She is professional, punctual, reliable, and very, very talented. Zoe shot my engagement pictures and wedding. I was so pleased with her work. She’s easy to work with and she will take care of you. Also, her husband Josh was the second shooter at our wedding. They are a dream team! My friends and families loved them both. My husband and I are tremendously happy with our experience and pictures!

    Incredible photographer

    Zoe totally rocks. The photos she took of our May 4, 2019 wedding are out of this world gorgeous - we are having a ton of trouble deciding our favorites from the 1300+ gorgeous shots she took (a good problem to have). She was very pregnant and brought a second shooter and assistant to our wedding for free. Being pregnant didn't seem to slow her down at all, but we were so grateful to have the additional help. She is totally no-nonsense - she can take charge of a group and instructs everyone on how to stand and pose to look best, so the stress is completely taken away from the bridal party. And she is also so friendly and supportive as well. We would recommend Zoe 100%. (She also did our engagement photos which we absolutely love!)

    Zoe should be your photographer!

    Zoe is incredible. She captured so many beautiful photographs and kept our wedding on track— all while being in the last month of pregnancy! We also had the pleasure of working with her husband, Josh, who kept everyone laughing. When I woke up the next day, Zoe already posted several photos! We got the rest less than a month later. Zoe is so organized and professional. I cannot recommend her enough!

    You must hire zoe!

    Seriously, don’t waste any more of your time searching and hire Zoe. She is the kindest person you will ever meet, she is fun, she knows her stuff and her work is beyond perfection. I can’t even tell you how many websites I looked at and reviews I read before I found Zoe and as soon as I started looking at her work, I knew I’d found our photographer. And to make things better she was within our budget and super flexible with the packages and options she offers. We currently live in Seattle so I assumed we would need to find someone here for our engagement pics but it turns out that Zoe’s sister lives here so she offered to come do our engagement session for no additional charge and I am SO happy she was able to do that because our engagement pictures turned out far better than I ever could have imagined!! Her ability to frame shots is incredible and the quality of her work is out of this world. She also thinks outside the box and will get some really exceptional photos that will blow your mind. After our engagement shoot, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about our wedding photos because she would exceed our expectations no matter what. Especially since Zoe was always available to chat and was so incredibly helpful with many aspects of the wedding, not just the photography. It felt like working with an old friend throughout the entire process. We had a second photographer for part of our wedding day which I would highly recommend because the two of them were able to capture everything from different perspectives. Together, they took over 5,000 photos which blew my mind! Zoe selected and edited over 1,500 photos for our gallery and words can’t even express how amazing they turned out!!! They captured every special moment and all the little moments in between. We got our gallery about two and a half months ago and haven’t stopped receiving compliments from everyone about how amazing they are. Zoe is just the best and I could not imagine a better experience than what we had with her. She was by far our favorite vendor we had during our wedding and I will forever use her for all my photography needs (babies, puppies, puppies and babies). Thank you again Zoe!!!

    We chose Zoe as our wedding photographer because we loved the romantic, artistic style of her photographs. But we also loved that she managed to capture the personalities of the people she was photographing in a natural way. And those two elements definitely came through in Zoe’s photographs of our wedding. The photos are stunning and turned out better than we could have hoped they would. It was freezing the day of our wedding (single digits), and we took photos outside, but you would never know it was that cold from looking at the pictures. Zoe did such an amazing job capturing the spirit of our wedding and we have some truly gorgeous images that we will cherish forever.

    On top of how beautiful the photos are, Zoe was so friendly and easy to work with. She asked us all the right questions before the wedding to make sure she knew what style we wanted and which shots were the most important for her to capture. She also found a beautiful abandoned church right down the street from our venue and suggested that we go there to take some of our bride and groom portraits. We never would have known about it otherwise, and the photos from the church are some of our favorites from our wedding. With the backdrop of the church, they really are works of art. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough!

    Zoe did an amazing job with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos! What I love so much about Zoe was that she really listened to what we wanted. We were very particular about the lighting of the photos and wanted the look of film without the cost and she surpassed my expectations. She was also really flexible and gracious when we decided last minute that we wanted to do engagement photos. She made us feel comfortable while taking our photos and didn’t try to pose us too much which we appreciated. She worked off what we naturally did and our photos turned out so beautiful. I am very critical of myself in photos and was so nervous that I wouldn’t like any of our photos and we loved ALL of them. We are always getting compliments on our photos and my family loved them so much that my cousin decided to hire her for her wedding too!

    Zoe came to my hospital room to take pictures of my just-born baby. She was flexible to the baby's needs and timing and delivery date! She was gentle with posing the baby; she has a mother's touch. I didn't have to worry about a thing; I just stayed in my hospital bed the whole time (it would have hurt if I had gotten up, and I was tired). She lifted the baby gently out of her plastic hospital bassinet, took pictures of her in bed with me and on the hospital couch, and put the baby back in her bassinet -- always supporting the baby's head. She provided props and worked with props that I had brought. She changed the baby's diaper for me when I asked (once again, it would have hurt if I had gotten up) and dressed the baby in the props. She even captured a picture of her smiling in her sleep! I love that picture! She gave me the pictures soon after and was always reliable in her communication. As a new parent, money's tight, but Zoe worked with my budget to make a package I could afford. She is really fun to work with and so professional! I am a very protective parent, but Zoe is trustworthy!

    Even though St. Louis was 4 hours from my event, Zoe still was punctual and prepared upon arrival (and that's saying something with rush hour traffic)! Extremely flexible, she worked late when the event took longer than expected; it was a stress relief to know that I could focus on enjoying the experience because Zoe had the pictures under control even early into the morning! She made sure my family and I looked great in the pictures, and the creativity and quality of the photos is phenomenal even though the lighting was poor at the location and the room was small! I am so glad I chose her for one of the most special days of my life because I was able to see more in her pictures than I remember from the event! Zoe took so many pictures (over 250) that I was able to share these pictures with family who were not able to be present, and my family said they feel like they were in the room with me! Zoe was quick to respond to my emails and calls and sent me my pictures promptly. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a responsible photographer who produces beautiful pictures! It was a pleasure working with her!

    We were totally pleased with Zoe. She was the first vendor we booked after we got engaged, and she was incredibly responsive and helpful without being pushy. It was a very reassuring start to the journey of planning a wedding. We're a very low-key couple, which I could see being annoying for a photographer. (Her: "What did you have in mind?" Us: "I dunno, like, take a bunch of pictures? With your camera-doohickey? Make us look cool?") We really didn't know what we wanted and didn't have a clear vision, and she was very patient and very helpful. It was clear to me that if I WAS the kind of bride with "a vision," she would have been willing and able to carry it out. She caught all the best moments without being intrusive at all. Book this lady!! We have zero complaints and she definitely made us look cool with her camera-doohickey.

    It was a pleasure working with Zoe from the minute we contacted her. She was quick to respond and was available to meet at a location that was convenient for us. She enthusiastically listened to all of our ideas and questions, and she was flexible with her packages. She took the time to understand our vision for capturing the days many events, and she and her second photographer were professional and helpful throughout the day. She was quick to give us a sneak peek at our photos, and her turnaround time on the finished product was great. The photos she took really captured the spirit of our day, and achieved our vision for timeless memories we will look back on for years to come. If you are looking for a photographer who is friendly, professional, and fantastic about communication, Zoe Life Photography is the right choice!
