Bow Tie was very easy to work with and were open to anything we wanted to do for pictures/videos! We were running out of time before the ceremony, but Zack and his team stayed incredibly cool and calm and still would let me finish the photos that I wanted to get before heading over to the ceremony! We received sneak peak photos much quicker than I would ever have expected as well as all the photos and videos. They really do work very efficiently! I am also soo glad we ordered the extra video instead of just the highlight! The videographers are incredible! They really helped more the day along especially for the insane amount of family pictures we had to do!

Hi Kelsey!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you loved working with ...
our team and that we could help capture all the moments you wanted, even with the pre-ceremony time crunch. Zack and the team pride themselves on staying calm and adaptable, so it’s wonderful to hear it made a difference for you.
We’re glad you’re enjoying your photos and videos—adding the full video was such a great choice! Helping with those big family photo sessions is all part of the fun, and we’re so happy we could keep everything running smoothly.
Thanks again for letting us be part of your day!

Zack and his team were absolutely amazing! One of the most important planning pieces for me was my photographer, and boy did they pull through! Not only did our pictures comes out stunning, but the level of professionalism and kindness they showed us was astonishing. Weddings can be stressful with not only trying to make sure everything is on time, but also crazy family members, and lots of opinions. They helped us make our special day about us, consistently making sure we had what we needed and that everything was perfect. I’ve loved all of the photos we’ve gotten back so far, and cannot wait to see the rest. I am so grateful for their hard work and attention to detail as these will be photos we will look back on with our kids one day.

The entire BowTie was incredibly helpful, organized, and prepared leading up to the wedding & then on the day of the wedding, too. Zack is a rockstar professional. He is calm and experienced and takes beautiful photos. He moves quickly so it doesn’t take very long, which was really important to us because we wanted to be able to enjoy our wedding and not spend the whole time taking pictures. We are so grateful to BowTie’s team.

We were SO lucky to have found Bowtie. Our first call with Zack was the best first impression. Zack and the studio manager Lisa were very clear, professional and communicative. The engagement shoot offered provided the perfect chance to get to meet Zack before our wedding day, and it went seamlessly. We got married/had our engagement shoot in downtown St. Augustine, and it was clear that Zack knew the area, knew the perfect places for a great backdrop and lighting. We aren't big photos people but Zack made us feel comfortable from the beginning. The wedding day went by without an issue as well. We had video as well as photos, and Zack's assistants were incredible.
I cannot stress enough how many compliments we have gotten on our photos/videos and the way they were taken/edited, capturing the most perfect moments that we didn't ever want to forget. We HIGHLY recommend the videography package, we have watched the full video a couple times and the highlight videos genuinely 100 times by now. The photographers were also very to the point and organized for post ceremony photos so we were never gone from the party too long (genuinely 30-45 minutes all together for the family/couple photos).
You will not regret working with Bowtie!! Great people, quality work, and amazing value for the cost. Thank you so much for all your amazing work Zack, Lisa, and all :)

Chloe! Wow! Thank you! It was such a pleasure working with you and Holly. The wedding was ...
such a party and an amazing testament to your commitment to one another (plus, both Dads had 5-star speeches!). Thank you for your kind words and please reach out in the future if you have any couples or family portrait needs!

From the start of our wedding day, I felt rushed. The photographer did not stick to the timeline from the very start. They showed up 20 mins early to "get ahead", but still managed to not capture many of the images I had hoped. They shot maybe 3 pictures of hair and makeup and my bridesmaids had to run after them to get a few more. There were 2 taken with each bridesmaid, some being haphazard. Everything was made to feel very rushed from the start, but at one point we were told we were 30 mins ahead of schedule. With the fake rush, I did not get a chance for many bridal portraits, only a few at a very unflattering angle. I was told we would take more later in the day, but that never happened. There were supposed to be pictures of the groomsmen getting ready, but those never happened either. The bridal party pictures were rushed and there were not many photo options again. I emphasized I wanted candid and fun group pictures and that did not materialize. In the few group candid pictures, half of the bridal party is cut out. Prior to the wedding we had discussed where we wanted the first look to be, but come the day they did not listen and set up in the wrong location, I had to ask for the original location adding more time on. The location we were taking pictures was very overexposed and windy, not the photographers fault, but I wished he could have told us that so we could have moved locations or fixed our hair or something. More expected shots were missed in the ceremony - we had no pictures of the bridal party standing at the front with us, not pictures of my maid of honor fluffing my dress, and no shots of the full ceremony from above. I had sent the photographer a full list of my inspo and photo ideas, but it seems those were never looked at. Back to the lack of timeline, we missed cocktail hour because they wanted to knock out some of the pictures ahead of time, even though that was not on the timeline. I had to reiterate multiple times where I wanted pictures even though we discussed it prior and it was on the timeline shared with them. I had to go back to the office assistant the beg for more options and ended up buying the RAW images for $200 just at the hope there are more on there that I might like. I am just overall disappointed with the final gallery and wish I could go back and retake so many of the pictures, but I can't. It did not seem like Bow Tie Photo really listened to me or cared about my vision and our wedding was just another of their numerous weddings they had to get through.

10/10 - I don't even know where to start with Bow Tie Photo & Video! First things first, my husband and I highly recommend this company for your photo/video needs. Zack and his team are truly amazing. First off, our engagement session with Zack was beautiful. I was worried about the gloomy Florida weather that day, but Zack assured us that we'd be fine - and we were, the engagement shots were BREATHTAKING. Now for wedding day, I could not have asked for a better team than Zack and his team. They are all the friendliest people, and make you feel so comfortable. Zack knows the best angles, how to fluff your wedding dress (SO QUICKLY), and the best poses. The team did a spectacular job capturing our most special day. The photos and video truly exceeded expectations. His team also works so quick to get you the BEST quality work. We are so glad to have these memories captured by Zack and his team. You cannot go wrong with this team for your big day!

Zack and his team are absolutely amazing!! We had so many events going on for our Indian/American wedding and Zack and his team were so accommodating. They stayed over the time that we had set on the timeline just to get all of our photos done. Zack also added shots to our list that we did not even think we wanted but are so glad we have now. The guys were so friendly and helpful and engaged with us the whole time. It made the whole experience amazing. My husband and I are behind floored with our wedding photos, and are amazed we got them so quickly. We are absolutely in love with our highlight video too! Just cannot say enough to express how much we loved the guys from Bow Tie and highly recommend them for any events!

I cannot recommend Zack and his team enough!!! I got a little carried away but can't say enough great things. Below is why
As happy and excited as I was on my wedding day (4/8/2023), I had a few moments of holding back tears when looking at the 90% chance of rain coming at the same time as our outside ceremony & reception. Zack and his team met us at the airbnb where myself, 10 bridesmaids, mom and MIL were getting ready. We had about 10 minutes between the rain and it was GO TIME! He made sure we got every picture I wanted & more, including individual shots. He was extremely efficient while making us all laugh the whole time.
Thanks to Florida weather, we were able to do the ceremony outside. He honored my wishes of not wanting to do a first look, (even though that would've been the practical move) and he managed to take ALL family and bridal party pictures outside, followed by an overcast windy photoshoot on the beach with just my husband and I before it started pouring. The pictures turned out better than I every could have imagined, and everyone had an absolute blast taking them.
I am absolutely blown away at how fast their turnaround time was for preview pics, full gallery, 30 second highlight, highlight video, directors cut, and ceremony & reception video. Even more blown away at how AMAZING it all turned out!! If you're thinking about adding any of the above add-ons..DO IT!
Finally- shout out to Lisa, their studio manager. She's been so amazing to work with every step of the way. SO helpful and quick to respond to my many questions.
Thank you BowTie Photo & Video team for the magic you've created.

Someone told me that you should always make sure that your photographer/videographer on your wedding day is someone you like or get along with because you'll be spending SO much time with them the day of, and Zack and his team at Bow Tie absolutely were so much fun to spend our wedding day with :) We genuinely had such a great time chatting with them during the process and it made everything so much better. They're incredibly efficient, so you get all of the photos you want while being able to still enjoy everything. They made sure that we got every shot we were looking for, and the photos we've gotten back so far were absolutely stunning. We received our preview of 50+ photos one week after the wedding, which was totally amazing! We had so much fun with Zack and his team, and we absolutely would recommend them to any couple who is interested.

Zack was incredible for the moment we first spoke. I like what I saw of his work and after our consultation knew that's who I wanted to take charge of our videography and photography for our special day. Not only was Zack and his team a joy to be around but what they delivered was beyond expectation. I say this with with no sugar coating, as I am a global marketing and creative director... They are incredibly talented and would use them 1,000 times over. I also want to say we had a night wedding so we had concern about lighting and exposure. He offered special lighting to ensure a beautiful golden glow instead of harsh white flash to our video and images - it was perfect! Thank you so much!!!

Photo and video was the most important vendor for me personally. I looked through so many different websites to find the right fit and we knew we found the right team with Zack. He had a great attitude when we said we wanted to book him nearly 2 years in advance and put us at ease very early on. When our engagement shoot was rained out he was very responsive about rescheduling. When we did have our engagement shoot we got along so great with him that we honestly almost lost track of time. When the big day came around we were laughing and joking everything just felt so natural. We expected maybe 10 photos from our sneak peek and we ended up with so many more! We can't wait to see our full album and our video. Lisa was very gracious dealing with my constant emails and making sure everything was all set for the day of. Zack and his entire team made the day absolutely perfect.

It can be challenging to find the right balance of bang for your buck but these guys did amazing! Not only was the quality of the photos and video montage absolutely stunning but the processing time and quantity of edited photos we received back were incredibly impressive. Zach and his team were fantastic on the day of the wedding with great prompting that helps even the most awkward of photo takers (my hubby and I) feel relaxed and have fun. Highly recommend!!

Book Zack and the Bow Tie Team for your wedding videography now! When I saw the beautiful crisp cinematic wedding videos on their website I fell in love. Booking them for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! I will forever cherish the collection of breathtaking videos we have that I will be watching and re-watching over and over again.
Zack and his team were so fun and great to be around, adding to the excitement of the day. With all the nerves going, they helped everyone feel confident in front of the camera. They were never "in the way" at our small wedding, but appropriately in the background capturing it all.
If you are thinking of having a wedding videographer, I highly recommend Bow Tie Photo and Video!

Tyler seemed to be ready for any moment, and prepared any hiccup. He took away so much stress, and came to my rescue probably 100X. They were professional and INCREDIBLY talented.

WOW is all I can say about Bow Tie Photo! One of my best friends suggested Zack and his team to capture our wedding and it was the best decision we made! Although they are based in Florida, Zack came up to Pennsylvania to do our engagement photos and they were beautiful. Our wedding date was changed due to covid, and then 30 days out our VENUE changed due to covid. Zack and Tyler were so amazing and fun to work with that I am just thrilled with how everything turned out. The only regret I have is not using them for videography.

We booked Zack for our destination beach wedding in the St. Augustine area. We did our research.. we wanted a photographer that was from the area - understood tides, timing, lighting and the landscape. Zack knew all of that and more!
From our initial phone call with Zack, he immediately had suggestions for unique photo locations aside from just the beach, gave his honest opinion on a second photographer and was super helpful in putting together the day's timeline.
On our wedding day, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave great directions in how to pose making both portraits and candid photos look so flawless. I am so glad we chose Zack to capture our day and highly recommend if you're looking for a stress-free photographer that will only make your day easier!

I planned my wedding from out of state and he was so helpful, from recommending our D.J to helping me with my wedding timeline, he was amazing!

We hired Zack for our very small wedding on August 16th, and we are so glad we did. He did an excellent job with our pictures and had great locations picked out on where to take pictures at. Zack sent us our edited pictures only a couple of days after we got married and they're absolutely stunning. Through the couple hours taking pictures, Zack made us feel very comfortable, and he was very professional and is obviously super talented. You can promptly tell he knew what he was doing. I can definitely recommend him and would choose him as our photographer any time again.

Zack was everything that we could have hoped for and more. We met Zack when we did our engagement photos in St. Augustine. We clicked with him so well – he made us feel really comfortable and most importantly he made it fun! We decided that we had to get him as our wedding photographer. I mean look at his work, how can you not? Zack and Tyler were such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day – they kept the wedding party on schedule and made it super fun! Zack is super laid back and easy going, prepared, professional, and extremely talented. Prior to the wedding, Zack was very responsive and receptive to what I was looking for. He also provided great suggestions. Their creativity and expertise has provided us with a variety of beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. Our photos are seriously stunning! We were so excited when we got our wedding photos back. We were just blown away with all of the beautiful formally posed photos and candid moments that Zack and Tyler had captured. We can’t be happier with our decision and we truly cannot thank him enough for how special he made our day.

Zach and his team know how to perfectly handle the busyness and stress of your wedding day so you have one less thing to worry about. They genuinely love what they do and had just as much fun on our wedding day as we did. We couldnt be happier with our album and love that we can relive our wedding day through our photos. THANK YOU Bow Tie Photo, for being the perfect choice for our wedding day!

We are so glad we chose Zack to help us capture our day! Our wedding party was huge, we were running late the entire day, and overall we were just a rowdy bunch to deal with. Through it all, Zack was patient, professional, kind, and FUN! I would look no further for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable and do an incredible job.

Zack and his team were fantastic! Our pictures turned out beautifully. It was nice that he has several people on his team so they can take pictures/video in multiple places at once, for example while the bride/bridesmaids are getting ready and at the same time as the groom/groomsmen are getting ready. I would also highly recommend getting him to do a highlight video. There is something so special about reliving the day through video that just isn't captured by photos. Overall would highly recommend!!

I can’t say enough positive things about Zack and Bow Tie Photo! The entire experience of working with him was truly a highlight of my wedding/planning. He is easy going, professional, and extremely talented. My husband and I were really worried about having enough time to actually enjoy our wedding while also getting enough quality photos. Zack was able to get through all of our group shots and the pictures of him and I with time to spare for extras! Most importantly, our photos are STUNNING. Straight out of a bridal magazine! I will recommend them to everyone I know!
Thank you Bow Tie Photo!

Excellent work from our engagement photos to wedding photos and to our amazing highlight video. Zach, Tyler, and Zane were all so wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They were very skilled and professional but also very easy to get along with and made everything lots of fun. I really appreciated the attention to detail before filming of what to expect that day from where they would be positioned while I was walking down the aisle to planning ahead and asking for a list of photos I wanted to get with groups of family members for our formals. Their creative touch and expertise has provided us with a beautiful variety of photos and video footage that we will treasure for years to come. We will definitely be working with Bow Tie Photo again in the future for maternity shoots and family photos!

Zack and his team blew my expectations out of the water. After everything has been said and done, I have one piece of advice for all engaged couples: the photographer and videographer are your MOST important vendor. Bow Tie Photos were price-efficient, but delivered a better end product than anyone. We will forever cherish our photos and video. Not only will we adore the photos/video for the rest of our lives, but the cost was unbelievable considering the infinite value. Plus, they are a joy to work with. I trusted Zack and his team to be the experts, and they delivered x 10.

We were blown away by Zach and Bow Tie Photography. From the moment I emailed him to inquire about him shooting our wedding he made everything so easy. He was a fast responder through our entire time from booking until our wedding day was over which I really appreciated as a bride. On our wedding day he made everything feel so smooth. He was there with us all day so it was a plus that he was fun to hang out with. He was so great at guiding us in poses and finding the best shot. We are OBSESSED with our wedding photos. He captured every moment we had on our shot list plus so many more. Zach was so calm and prepared so that we never felt pressured or panicked, even though we were running behind schedule some of the day. I would recommend Bow Tie Photography to anyone!

Incredible work. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and overall video! They were super flexible, timely and knowledgeable. They worked closely with our photographers to ensure that everything was set up correctly and ensured that no time was wasted. We even went on a detour to the beach for a quick photo shoot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Zack and Bow tie photo were a complete joy to work with.
We first met Zack through our videographer, Ryan Geldermann, who was so trusting of Zacks artistic vision that he partnered with Bow tie Photo exclusively in 2018. Although Ryan’s wife got pregnant and was due on the same day of our wedding (!!) causing us to transition videographers, we stayed with Zack, already having seen the beautiful engagement photos he captured for us.
Is it possible that someone can be a meticulously organized and commanding photographer for group shots, but a practically invisible and chill presence for more private moments? It is with Zack and his team. Zack got photos done quickly and efficiently, giving us more time to enjoy our day - and for him to capture the priceless unposed moments. Everyone told me that the photographer is the most important vendor you will hire; it is true! I am so happy with our decision to choose Zack and the Bow tie photo team. Even though it was raining and we could not take photos outside, the quality of our images was not compromised whatsoever.
The Bow tie team captured hundred of beautiful formally posed and candid moments, plus coordinated with our new video vendor, Shutter and Sound, beautifully and seamlessly.
The photos speak for themselves. Thank you, Zack!!

We are SO happy we decided to book with Southern Palms Studio. We corresponded with a Zack during the booking and planning process, and he was extremely professional, friendly and always quick to respond. Tyler, our videographer, did an incredible job capturing every little moment from the day of our wedding. He directed us in what to do, which in the end turned out beautiful on film. The artistic way he shot the day was nothing short of a true professional. And the editing work the team did was incredible! We were completely blown away with the end result in our highlight video. Thank you Zack and Tyler!!

Tyler was our lead for our wedding day and we had such a great time with him. We received our highlight video in under a month, it was amazing! We had a very long wedding day and were concerned how, and if all of the important parts would make it into just a 4 minute highlight video. Tyler and the editing team did a phenomenal job, we could not believe how everything was there and how beautifully it was put together! We are very pleased with our decision to hire Southern Palms as our videographer.

I’ll start off by saying I’m naturally not a patient person. I was apprehensive with hiring a videographer because of the added expense and it doesn’t check off the box of “traditional” wedding vendors. After coming across Southern Palms work, we decided it would be worth it to relive our day in such a cinematic style. We also had a bunch of family that were unable to make the wedding due to health reasons so having a full ceremony video helped them feel a part of our wedding ceremony which was very important to us. On me being impatient, I was blown away with how fast my questions and emails were answered along with how long it was before we got our wedding video back, under 2 weeks! Amazing! This made me so happy, we had heard horror stories from friends that waited 6+ months to get photos and videos back from other companies. So happy with our decision to hire Southern Palms!

Wow! We originally hired Southern Palms Studio because we fell in love with their cinematic style. We started working with Zack in the office who manages all of the important parts for wedding videography. Our videographer the day of, Tyler, was great to work with, he knew exactly what to say and do at the right moments. We were able to talk with him before the wedding day which made us feel even more comfortable with the whole process. We got our video back super fast and were completely blown away. It’s been several months now and we are still getting compliments, we are telling all of our friends to hire Southern Palms for their wedding!!!

These guys know their stuff! We hired Southern Palms for our wedding and we were blown away with what they captured for our wedding day. My mom was really particular with some of the shots she wanted, mainly recreating photos from her wedding, Tyler was able to take our shot list and get everything we wanted and more. We couldn’t be happier with our photos!

Zack and Lauren were AHHHMAZING. Choosing our photo & video was top priority when our wedding planning began. I could not have been happier with Bow Tie. From my first call with Zack, I appreciated how knowledgeable and organized he was - this continued through to our wedding day and we were able to get all the pictures we wanted without feeling rushed. I would absolutely recommend both their photo and video work.

Zach was AMAZING!! We have nothing but good things to say about him. Zach was so easy to work with from the very beginning and was so responsive with every question we had. He made our wedding day run so smoothly and we never felt rushed taking all the pictures. He was so easy to listen to and told everyone how to stand, look, move etc. which was really helpful. He captured every important moment and made sure we got every picture we wanted. He also has an awesome personality which made him fun to hangout with all day. We recommend Zach and bow tie photography to ANYONE!

Booking the wedding photographer for our St Augustine wedding was the most important vendor we'd have to book. I took it seriously and spent hours scrolling through multiple photographer's galleries and websites, trying to find someone that fit our vision. Zack from Bow Tie was the one, and very glad we picked him! Zack's personality was very chill (aka: he will not stress you out at any point during the wedding day or during the wedding planning time period), he was professional, and he knows his stuff. He was even able to herd the groomsmen and make sure none of them got lost lol (the groomsmen had been drinking, and one was probably high). We were able to get a timeline from him and finish all the photos we wanted to finish before the ceremony, with time to spare. Smooth sailing on the wedding day! Our teaser photos were fantastic and I have one sitting right in front of me now, in a frame :) Can't wait to get a book together of our wedding photos (we have like 1000+ to pick from OMG). I know the photos are something we will cherish for years to come. Zack's work is great and well worth the price.

Zack was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! My husband and I aren't particularly comfortable around a camera, but Zack made the experience very laid back and relaxing. He was very quick to respond to our emails and easy to communicate with. A year after and we still get so many compliments about our wedding photos. I would highly recommend Bow Tie Photo for your wedding!

Worth every damn penny. Zack is an amazing photographer - he also works really well with his other shooters!
Zack offers different packages at different price points. For a large group like ours, we went with two shooters for 9 hours. This package also included a complimentary engagement photoshoot. DEFINITELY well worth what we paid for!
Zack knows how to position people, which is quite important for photoshoots. His editing of the photos are very clean. I was very picky looking for photographers and the style of how he shoots was definitely eye-catching!
Zack is also very cool and laid back. Responds well to communication!
Highly recommend Bow Tie Photo for your wedding. They also just started doing videography, which is a super plus!!!
Thank you for making our day extra special, Zack!!

Bow Tie Photo and Video are above the rest! Not only was Zack great to work with prior to the wedding, he came in with a vision of how he would capture our day! While most videographers take weeks to provide you with your final video, he had it done by the end of the reception so that we could share it with all of our guests at the end of night, it’s better than any wedding video we have ever seen! Our guests were BLOWN away and yours will be too! If you’re looking for someone to capture the love, joy, and excitement of your day that you will get to relive for years to come, look no further than Zack Glenn!

My wedding was on 10/26 and 10/27 (I had a Cambodian wedding and a “white dress” wedding) and Zach did an EXCELLENT job for both! He has a ton of experience and even if I couldn’t always tell what he was going for, it all came together in the video and looked amazing! He even did a same-day edit and showed the video at the end of my reception, which was especially impressive because we did the garter/bouquet toss literally 5-10 minutes before he showed the video and it STILL made it into the video! I highly recommend Zach and his Bow Tie Photo team - they’re all extremely talented and fun to work with and I will absolutely book them again for any future videos!

Where do I even begin?! Zack was absolutely amazing to work with from Day 1. In the beginning we facetimed two different photographers, and we knew once we got off the phone with Zack that he was going to be the perfect match for our special day. He was very accommodating when my fiancé got sick with food poisoning the day he was coming to us for our engagement photo shoot...thankfully we were able to fit in a shoot in St. Augustine. We vibed right away during the engagement shoot and the pictures turned out absolutely incredible!! And then came the wedding, and Zack was there to calm me down and help plan the vintage truck I surprised my husband with for our first look photos. The final product of photos are amazing, so much that I have too many favorites to choose from! I would pick Bow Tie Photo over and over again, I wouldn't of had it any other way! I cannot say it enough...pick amazing vendors, they will make your wedding (especially if you feed Zack some cold brew)!

I wish I could rate Zack higher because he is truly amazing! He was recommended to us by our videographer, Ryan Gledermann, and I am so happy we chose to move forward with him. He took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The photos speak for themselves and Zack has a great eye for detail! On wedding day while I was trying to get ready Zack was cool as a cucumber and so laid back. He brought this wonderful calmness around and it felt like he wasn't even there. We had a photo list that we had sent him but when we were done with photos he was happy to move on too. He went above and beyond expectations and we couldn't have hoped for more on our wedding day. We are so pleased with Zack and his team. I highly recommend him for your wedding!
