We used Southern Palms Studio for our wedding videography and we are so thrilled with what we have seen so far! Kirk and the rest of the team did a fantastic job capturing our special day.
Hailey and the Southern Palms Studio team were great to work with for our wedding photography! We also got engagement photos done with her, which was great in preparation for our big day. We enjoyed the engagement shoot and she made us feel very comfortable. The photos turned out fantastic. In preparation for the big day, SP sends our very helpful information and forms for you to complete to ensure you have all the photos you want planned. Day of, Hailey did a wonderful job getting the shots we were looking for and guiding us through each of them. So far our sneak peeks look INCREDIBLE and we can’t wait to see the rest. We would highly recommend Southern Palms Studio for any photography needs!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Brandy! We can't wait to deliver your final gallery to you!
I used Southern Palms Studio for my wedding in November and they absolutely crushed it!! They were so efficient with pictures and got exactly what I wanted. The edits and videography is amazing. They take their time and do amazing work plus you get your photo and video back in no time! I am so happy i used Southern Palms and I could not recommend them more! :)

Thank you so much, Marisa! We aim to deliver the best products to our couples. :)
Any questions?
We hired Southern Palms as the videographer for our January wedding in St. Augustine. From the discovery call with Zach to the day of, everything was really smooth working with them. We had Tyler as our videographer on the day of our wedding and he was amazing. He kept us laughing the whole day, while also capturing every moment and making the experience of the day about us. We couldn't have enjoyed the day more with him. The video we received for our wedding day was perfect - it encompassed our day so beautifully. Watching it made us feel like we could relive these moments over and over again. We ended up also purchasing the extra footage of our wedding and ceremony. I'm so glad we did! Now we can watch every moment of our wedding whenever we want. We loved working with Southern Palms and we are so happy with the videos of our special day. Thanks, Southern Palms!

Thank you, Stephanie! We appreciate the review and hope you had a fantastic first anniversary and enjoyed looking back on your big day. :)
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!
Words cannot say enough about Bow Tie Photo! We hired Zack and his for our wedding in March of 2018! From the first time we meet Zack we knew we picked the right photographer for our big day! We did our engagement pictures with him and got them back and absolutely loved them. Then the wedding day comes! Zack showed up early ready to take pictures. He started just snapping pictures, didn’t waste any time which I love! You can Zack is extremely passionate about what he does. Zack and his wife Lauren were wonderful on the wedding day. Then we got our pictures back! Zack completely outdid himself. They were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Thank you bow tie photo! It’s been 4 months and we still look at our pictures every day!
Everything I’d hoped for in an engagement session and more! We had so much fun with Zack in Palm Coast and St. Augustine and he made everything effortless on my part. I was so impressed with how he used the sun peeking through the trees to create perfect lighting and was able to efficiently switch from stunning portraits in the park to artistic shots that captured us in the sun and shadows of a gorgeous building in town. I have a fiancé who typically makes a funny face when I try to take his picture, and Zack made him look like a model (it’s magic!). As someone who has never really been professionally photographed before, I appreciated the skill with which Zack directed us to make our ‘poses’ look natural and beautiful. If I had it all to do again, I’d do it exactly the same. Zack was professional, took the most AMAZING photos, and had us laughing all morning!
We loved having Tyler from Southern Palms as our wedding photographer. He knew all of the places to be at the right times to capture beautiful photos of us. We had a family list of photos that was really important to us because of how rare it is for all of these family members to be together, and he got every single one of them!!! We couldn't be happier with our photos!
My wife and I hired Tyler from Southern Palms Studio a few months ago when our original photographer backed out at the eleventh hour. We could tell by our initial video call with Tyler that he had the right personality for us. Super positive and light-hearted. He also seemed to really know his stuff, which obviously is vital. I can honestly say now that the photos have been delivered that he saved the day. I think the photos we received from him are probably even better than the photos we would have received from our original photographer. Awesome, awesome job, Tyler. Thanks, Jack & Meghan
We hired Bow Tie Photo for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. Words can't fully describe how amazing the experience has been from start to finish. Folks, if you need someone to capture a moment as precious as any special day, Zack is THE person for the job. The quality of the engagement and wedding photos were amazing! In each photo you can see the care and attention Zack put into the composition of each shot. Pricing was never a point of friction. All questions were handled professionally and Zack did a good job in making the payments easy. Zack was flexible and attentive during both the engagement and wedding photos. There were a couple of curveballs because we had planned to have our wedding photos taken outside (e.g. unexpected torrential downpour of rain), but Zack was alerted and adapted to a changed setting. The shots were beautifully captured that made the weather appear to be on purpose! His skill as a photographer and also for the care he put into making our wedding photo shoot made our day a truly delightful experience. Bow Tie Photo made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Most importantly, his work was absolutely stunning and we received overwhelming compliments for the photos he had taken for us. Thank you Bow Tie Photo for making our wedding a sweet and memorable one.
Zack is approachable, professional and makes the experience (both engagement and wedding day photos ) fun! The protrait photos are absolutely breathtaking and Zack was sure to get many candid shots all night without being incredibly obtrusive. He was incredibly patient with late parents, approaching rain and herds of tourists near the White House. He was able to even make the photos look like there was no one else around AND keep onlookers away. I can not recommend Zack enough - he truly is a genius with his work. Absolutely amazing and we are so grateful!
THE BESTTTT EVER. Zack did a stunning job on both or engagement and wedding photos. He is so professional, skilled, and detail oriented. Honestly don't waste your time looking elsewhere if you are considering vendors, just go with Bowtie and and rest easy that your special moments will be captured beautifully!
I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but this company deserves it! 5 stars! I originally reached out to Zack from Bowtie Photography for my wedding day, but he was already booked :( He let me know that he runs another company called Southern Palm Studios that shares his exact aesthetic, and for a fraction of the cost. I was a little reluctant at first to be honest, but after viewing Tyler's work (Tyler was our photographer) I was immediately sold. Tyler was such a pleasure to work with. He made my hubby and I feel very relaxed in front of the camera. Throughout the whole day, he was non-intrusive, and very detail oriented; capturing some shots of my grandmother's pendant, among a lot more family memorabilia that were important to us. I truly can not express my gratitude enough to Tyler for making the happiest day of my life the most memorable. I get teary-eyed just looking at our photos - then again I am a big baby, haha!
Thanks Tyler!!!
We booked Southern Palms Studio only a few months before our wedding, it was a (relative) last minute decision, and I have to say one of the best we made for our wedding day! We had a small intimate setting for our ceremony and reception, and wanted that captured. We got our photos back and they looked BETTER than we envisioned!!! Lauren in the office made and helped us with a list of all the must have family photos, which was really important to us because so many guests came from out of town. We are so very happy with the results, we are recommending to everyone!!!!
I can't imagine having anyone but Zack and Lauren as our wedding photographers! They were absolutely amazing. When I was running behind on hair and makeup, he did not make me feel rushed one bit and still got all the photos I requested. He made sure family photos at the church went quick and smooth so we could head to the reception in a timely manner. You never once felt like he was in your face or in the way at all during the wedding. The way he works was so organic to the event. The teasers we have gotten back are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see the rest of the photos.. do not hesitate and book Bow Tie Photo for your wedding!
Zack and the Bowtie team were the best from the very begging. We met them at a Bridal Expo and we were blown away by Zack's work. It was then, I knew we had to have him! Photos are what last as the forever memory of your wedding. So you want someone that can capture it all in all kinds of situations. It helps that Zack is super friendly as his is talented. We did not get a single engagement photo or wedding photo we did not LOVE! It is also saying something when your wedding planner and fellow wedding vendors say it is some of the best work they have seen! I want to have my wedding all over again just so we can get more of Zack's photos! I am beyond happy we went with Bow Tie!
We just got our wedding photos back, and they’re beyond incredible! Zack is not only professional and easy to work with, he’s also a true artist and a master of his craft. He captured so many beautiful moments for us, both posed and candid, and I’m so excited to show everyone.
Both the engagement shoot and second shooter were well worth it. Some of my favorite photos of my husband and I were taken at our engagement shoot in St. Augustine, and it really helped both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day. Tyler, the second shooter for our wedding, was also awesome, whether capturing a moment from a different angle or hiding behind my dress, holding just the right light at just the right angle so Zack could get the perfect shot. We highly recommend Zack and Bow Tie Photo.
Zack and his team captured our wedding day absolutely beautifully. Of the hundreds of photos he provided us with, there was not a single one that didn’t move me to tears. He knew exactly what we wanted and got all the shots we asked for and more. I am never a happy camper when I’m out in the heat, and Zack was fantastically quick about the outdoor portraits without losing even an ounce of quality. We will forever cherish the memories Bow Tie Photo preserved for us and will be forever grateful to them!
Zack and his team are phenomenal!!! Not only did our wedding pictures turn out to be perfect, Zack is so easy to work with and incredibly professional and easy going! He was such a great addition to our wedding, I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Baltimore area.
Choosing Zack as our wedding photographer was by far best decision we made in our wedding planning. He is truly unique at his craft and really took the time to work with us and make sure we understood how the day would go. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He had such great ideas for different locations and when/where the light would be good and was always on top of our timeline. I had multiple family members and friends tell me after the wedding tell me how fun he was at the reception taking photos! I can't thank Zack enough for being a part of our wedding day and giving us amazing photos we will have forever.
Zack of Bow Tie Photo is a long time family friend, which can sometimes get complicated with hiring for work, especially for your wedding day. However, we are pleased to say that we cannot be happier with photos Zack and his team captured on our wedding day. Photography was the most important component to our wedding to me. It sounds cliché, but it’s entirely true that after the wedding all you have are the memories and the photos and video to relive it.
Our wedding day schedule was a bit complicated and it required Zack and all of our vendors to stay right on track in order to make everything run smooth. We were seriously impressed with how well Zack stuck to our timeline as well as being flexible for on the fly changes and was still able to exceed our photography expectations. Zack did a great job with taking our “candid portraits” that he talked to us in depth about prior to our wedding while also getting lots of organic moments throughout the day of our families and friends. One of our favorite parts is that Zack edits and delivers a ton (literally a ton) of photos and we have the image rights to print, share, make albums on our own, using any image we want. We will recommend him to everyone we know getting married, his ease and professionalism the day of combined with the quality of his work is unmatched!
Zach was amazing, and possibly my favorite vendor that we hired. His professionalism and attention to detail kept us on schedule all day and my new wife is obsessed with the photos! I cant say enough good things about this guy, he is a true professional and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to put on a successful wedding.
I cannot say enough good things about Zack. Not only were his photos STUNNING, they captured the energy of my husband and I's relationship perfectly- something I think is a rare talent in a photographer. Working with Zack was an stress-free, great experience- he was open to any and every idea I had and his number one goal was to make me happy- which he absolutely did! Not only that, but he was the only photographer willing to work with us on price for a small, courthouse wedding with 1.5 hours photography- all others wanted to charge us for a full, all-day wedding! Zack will really take the time to listen to your needs and work with you and the photos that result are second-to-none! He was so awesome to work with and we will cherish the memories he created for a lifetime! Thanks again for being so awesome, Zack!
So very happy we had Zack and Larry photographing our wedding. Not only are they amazing photographers but they are so calm and keep you feeling great the day of. They did a great job at keeping us all on schedule without being pushy. We did family and wedding party pictures prior to the ceremony, we were worried about this taking too long but with the Bow Tie crew it was simply a breeze- and fun at that! The photographs are exactly what we envisioned plus more. Zack had some great visions that turned into some fabulous shots. So thankful to have had Bow Tie Photo on our day, we are so excited to share the photos with our families for the rest of our lives!
There are truly no words to describe how grateful we are that Zack was our photographer for our wedding. I have been trying to write a review worthy of the service he provided to us for hours and it’s impossible because he was that spectacular.
Zack and I spoke a few time prior to the wedding and he was always on top of his game, even when he was driving he remembered details about the wedding and was able to talk me through some of his ideas on to make our wedding unique and capture the right lighting at the right times.
When Zack and his second shooter, Tyler, showed up, they were early and came with a plan (even though he had never shot at our locations before, you would have never known, he is an expert). Going back and forth from the bridesmaids to the groomsman, he was always in motion and always taking pictures, I know he got some amazing candids. He even helped my husband and the Groomsman put on their boutonnieres (shocker, the guys were clueless). Tyler was great, he definitely has an eye for detail and sees things that he changes to make the photos that much better.
Zack did whatever it took to get the best shot with the right lighting. At one point he was laying down on his stomach, in dirt and dust to capture a photo without buildings in the background.
Not only did Zack go above and beyond the call of duty with his photography skills but they were both a pleasure to be around and made the evening even more special by not only capturing our favorite night but through their personality as well. I had multiple people approach me and tell me how wonderful they were and that they couldn't not wait to see the pictures as Zack had shown them 'sneak peaks' on his camera - which they LOVED!
I would work with Zack again without hesitation. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your vision with unmatched quality, Zack is your guy.
Thank you, Zack, for capturing the best day of our lives, we are so glad you were there!!
Love, Lauren and Ken
We could not be happier with our decision to hire Zack as our wedding photographer! From the second he arrived, we could tell he had his day-of strategy down to a perfect science and that there were going to be so many gorgeous pictures!
He was so friendly and helpful (I definitely asked for his advice on non-photography-related matters multiple times), and made posing feel natural and easy. His personal style shines through, and he made us feel like he was capturing us on our wedding day in the ways that we looked best. Zack was communicative throughout the day about his ideas, and some of our favorite pictures were the beautiful nighttime shots that we took outside during the reception.
On a few occasions throughout the day I was nervous about staying on track with the day-of timeline, but Zack did an excellent job orchestrating all the large group photos quickly and efficiently and keeping the day on track. He was always organized and one step ahead, which truly took so much stress off of us on our big day. We were so excited to look through the teaser photos Zack sent over just a week later, and know that the rest of the photos are going to be just as beautiful!
We can’t thank Zack enough for capturing our wedding day so perfectly, and would highly recommend Bow Tie Photo!
5 stars doesn't even begin to explain how grateful I am that Zack was my photographer at my wedding in Washington DC. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable always keeping the bridal party on schedule. Because he was so calm, prepared, and kind throughout the whole process, I never felt rushed or panicked. Even though the ceremony started late, he managed to get all the photos that I wanted with my very large family within the 15 minutes that we had left! Prior to the wedding, he was very responsive and receptive to what I was looking for. He provided wonderful suggestions and even coordinated with my transportation, videographer, and event coordinator to ensure that everything ran smoothly. When we were in D.C. Zack knew exactly where to go/what to do especially when it came to making sure my dress, veil, and flowers were all perfectly placed. Looking at the teasers he provided, he captured so many special moments. Having Zack at my big day not only prevented a lot of stress, but also helped create a lot of memories. I truly cannot thank him enough for how special he made my day. Highly recommend Zack for any event or milestone that you want captured beautifully.
Zack was so awesome to work with!! My original photographer quit on my wedding 30 days out from my wedding. I heard about Zack from one of my friends who had him as their wedding photographer and his pictures of their wedding were so beautiful. I immediatrly reached out to Zack to see if he was available for my wedding. He responded very quickly and luckily he was still available for my wedding date. When I met with Zack, I immediately knew that he would be perfect to be my photographer. He went over what to expect from him as a photographer and the day of timeline for the photography. He also asked me to make a shot list for him to make sure that I got all the photos that I wanted. On the wedding day, Zack arrived early and he was ready to start taking pictures right away! He was very professional and easy to work with and he was even patient during the family pictures when some of my family kept going back into cocktail hour when they were supposed to be taking pictures. While taking pictures, Zack would give us directions on what to do and how to pose which is what my husband and I needed because otherwise we wouldn't know what to do! One week after my wedding I received about two dozen teaser pictures that were all edited and they were all so amazing!! I am confident that Zack was able to capture every aspect of my wedding and I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures! I would definitely recommend Bow Tie Photo to anyone!
We came across Zack and Bow Tie Photo at a wedding expo in V.A. His personality along with quality of pictures had us feeling at ease and we booked with him the same day! Our engagement pictures were everything we could ask for! We liked that they were candid and he guided us with what to do to ensure amazing pictures. We had such a wonderful time we knew our wedding photos were going to be even better. In April we got married and were ecstatic to work with Zack and his team again. He was everything we wanted in a photographer. He asked many questions prior to the big day to make sure the wedding day would be smooth! Zack even pulled us during our reception to take a five minute break so that we could breathe. Throughout the night Zack also pulled us to show us pictures from the reception! We now have a wonderful website and have been able to share it with out family. The only problem is we have to narrow our 1,100 wonderful pictures down so that we can create a wedding album! We highly recommend Bow Tie Photo and we hope to be able to use him in the future :)
Zack was amazing to work with as our photographer for our engagement session and wedding! We found him at a bridal expo and were immediately attracted to his artistic/clear/bright photo style. He made my husband and I feel comfortable for our big day and a ton of photos when neither of us love being in the "spotlight." Now that our photos are back, we have gotten so many compliments on the pictures. We would definitely recommend do anyone.
Zack was fantastic to work with! My pictures are beyond stunning! I love the fact that there is an artistic flair that made my photos better than I could have imagined! He is very knowledgeable and is very proficient with his time to make sure we got through all of the photos that I wanted. I would highly recommend anybody to work with Zack!
Zack was great to work with! We are so happy with our wedding pictures, they are beautiful! He also got them back to us really quick after the wedding which was awesome! Highly recommend!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you: Zack is a little hidden diamond in the photography industry. I just happened to stumble upon him when I called another photographer, who was booked on my day, and he highly recommended him. I had called around to other photographers, but after talking to him on the phone, something about his demeanor made me gravitate towards him immediately. I made the right choice: Zack is the most brilliant, talented photographer I've ever seen. If you think his work is amazing from just looking at what he has posted on his website, wait until you see yourself in his photos. He somehow brings out the beauty and elation of your wedding day in them. When I saw mine, I literally gasped - they were magical, breathtaking. I posted them on my social accounts and I have never got so many likes in my life: everybody said they were absolutely stunning. He always replied very quickly to any email or text I sent him, which is wonderful when you have so much going on with planning a wedding.
I wish I could have him follow me around all the time so he could take photos of my life. :-)
Zach is such a great photographer! Our wedding pictures turned out amazing; we keep getting compliments from family and friends about how beautiful they are. He was really easy to work with the months prior to our wedding. He was very responsive to emails and we even got on the phone with him a couple of times to discuss wedding details. On our big day, he was able to find a sweet, beautiful spot right behind the venue where we got both our first look and married couple portraits taken. Throughout the day, Zach was able to capture unique moments that we will treasure in our hearts for the rest of our lives. We were so lucky to have him as our photographer. My wife and I highly recommend Bow Tie Photo!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2017
Thank you! You two had such a beautiful day, we were happy to be a part of it!!
Zack was a great addition to our wedding day. We love each and every photo and he captured it all. I will be using him and referring him out for our new wedding barn!
We found Zack at a wedding expo and fell in love with his work right then and there. He answered all our questions and was incredibly easy to work with. I love that he not only captures every moment but also takes time to capture all the details that are put into the day. Zack was amazing and we were unbelievably impressed with our pictures. We will treasure them always. Thank you to Zack and his team for going above and beyond and making our wedding day perfect.
Zack and his team were out of this world! They did everything they could to make sure they got the perfect pictures and we were beyond impressed! We were so happy that Zack was our photographer, our pictures turned out amazing and will last a lifetime. Zack was also a very easy to work with he's so easy going and creative all at the same time. He got pictures that no other photographer would have gotten. We are so grateful that he treated our wedding like his very own. My husband and I recommend Bow Tie Photo to everyone! Thanks for everything <3
I found Zack by MIRACLE. We had our wedding photographer lined up, however the deal fell through because of the lack of contract protection. I found Zack on FB and decided to contact immediately. After talking on the phone, my husband and I decided to hire him to capture our wedding day. After receiving some teasers, I was amazed by his raw talent. The pictures beautifully captured our happiness. I cannot wait to receive the rest. Second, our guests and family members respected his level of professionalism and patience. Zack is definitely someone you should hire based solely on the fact that he is patient with the bride and groom, especially this fickle bride! He did an outstanding job. I would recommend over and over again.
We ended up finding Zach and his team at a wedding expo. From the moment we started chatting with Zach and viewing his portfolio we knew he would be the right choice for us. The whole process was fantastic. Zach made communication very easy from facetime to emails. He answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable with pricing and understanding all the services. The day of Zach and his team set up the photo booth (the guests were in LOVE with it). We never felt like we were being pulled away from the party to go take photos. There are a perfect mix of candid and staged shots, which is just what we wanted. The final photos are amazing! We love them all and cannot thank Bow Tie enough for the professionalism and caring nature. We would recommend this company to anyone!
Zack is very affordable and an amazing wedding photographer. He always made us feel comfortable with him. Zack also did our engagement pictures that we used on our wedding invitations. All the pictures turned out a million times better than I would have imagined. I gave him an entire list of family photos and he made sure we got everything we wanted. Zack was a rock star for our wedding day and even helped us with other vendors! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
I've worked with Zack as a bride before (and he did an INCREDIBLE job!!!), but never as a vendor (I'm a wedding planner). I had the opportunity to do so a few weeks ago when we hired Bow Tie Photo to run our live action photo booth at the Honeybook Launch Party in Washington D.C. To say Zack and his team exceeded our expectations is a gross understatement! Not only did he bring some incredible gear and props, he made everyone feel so comfortable (because let's be honest, posing in front of a camera is a little more difficult than doing so in a dark photo booth). The live action photo booth was such a huge hit at our event and we cannot WAIT to hire him again!
Zack was amazing! We needed to find a new photographer last minute and he was so responsive to my emails and calls and met up with my husband and I very quickly. The second we met him, we knew he would be perfect. He gave us awesome ideas for our shoot and took the time to get to know us. At our wedding he showed up ready to go and we had a blast. He let Justin and I be ourselves but also gave us the direction we needed. During the ceremony he got close up shots and I never even noticed that he was around, he was very discreet and not intrusive. His team was a joy to work with, we had a lot of fun with them. I recommend Bow Tie to anyone, you will not be disappointed. The photos are amazing and we are so happy that we chose Zack. He even gave us some teaser photos 2 days after the wedding! Thank you bow tie for coming to the rescue last minute! :)
Zack and his team are just simply wonderful. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos everything was beautiful.
I was able to re-live that special day just from looking at the photos. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! I would use Zack over and over again if I could! His work is just out of this world. Even without me asking for certain shots on the wedding that he made sure they were taken before I could even ask. The communication was also great from the very first point of contact. Thank you guys soooooo much, we are truly grateful!
Bow Tie Photo's work is unprecedented. Between Zach's creative eye and Lauren's strict attention to detail, these two will guarantee that not only will your photos be classy and beautiful, but exquisite and unique. These two are absolutely professionals. It doesn't matter if you are completely nervous in front of the camera or an absolute pro, they will make you feel completely comfortable. Sometimes you feel so rigid and strange standing in such a weird position, but there's a reason. It's something that Zach sees and nobody else does. That's why it's so special. That's why your pictures don't just capture a shot or a quick moment of your day, they tell a story. Every picture was unique and beautiful in its own way. Zach's professionalism and Lauren's bubbly personality create the perfect dynamic duo to ensure a perfect day and gorgeous photos. You can tell that wedding photography isn't something they do, it's a part of who they are. If you want a couple with passion, creativity, vision and patience, you've found the right team. Thank you Bow Tie Photo!
My husband and I could not have been any happier with our service from Bow Tie Photo. Zack and his wife originally met with us to discuss pricing and information. At the time we were still interviewing other photographers, but after the meeting with them we knew that Bow Tie Photo was the right fit for us. Zack's photos are exactly like his tag line. I have already recommended them to multiple friends!
We had a super busy and hectic wedding day. Zack worked with us leading up to our wedding and did a fabulous job helping with creating a photography timelime to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted to get. We loved the originality of his work and the fact that it doesn't look like every other wedding photographer. We can't say enough good things!!!
Bow Tie Photo is amazing! We hired Zack to photograph my wedding in Virginia and he far exceeded my expectations. He and his assistant Morgan were very professional and friendly; they captured every important moment of our big day from beginning to end. Zack even got aerial footage with a flying drone! Even better still, Zack was uploaded some of our wedding pictures to his Instagram page as the wedding was going on - so we got to see them that evening! Zack is talented, customer-focused and makes sure that you're getting exactly what you want. If you're looking for an awesome wedding photographer who will make your day feel extra special, look no further than Bow Tie Photo.
As a photographer myself I couldn't have just anyone shoot my wedding. I needed to feel like the photos were better than I could have done myself. Not only did Zach and his assistants meet my expectations, surpassed them by a million miles. I was so impressed with the engagement shoot that Zach put together that I requested to work with him on some of the weddings he had booked during my engagement. He was so accomadation on both of our engagement shoots (one of which we had to climb a tiny little ladder up to the top of Natty Boh tower) as well as our wedding day. He gave us such a great deal on up lighting and a photo booth that we literally couldn't say no!
On the day of our wedding he showed up early with his assistant Joe. They swapped back and forth between shooting myself and my bride throughout the morning and the pictures are amazing. It was likely going to rain later in the day, so my wife and I decided to have a first look so we could get some shots in the sun. Zach and Joe stood in the sweltering heat for about 3 hours before our ceremony, I had to change my undershirt twice because it was so hot. They were troopers though.
During our reception I didn't even notice they were there, it surprised me how close some of the shots were when we got them back because I literally never saw them! They even stayed for the reception, through all the dancing, and caught some pictures of us with the last few stragglers.
After the big day we received a bundle of sneak peek pictures. This was awesome because we were able to share them with the family before our honeymoon. We also were able to order our thank you cards WAY before I was expecting to. Not only has Zach earned my undying trust as a photographer, he also has earned himself a new friend! Thanks dude!
My wife and I met Zach and Lauren shortly after getting engaged. They were very helpful with all of our questions and even helped us narrow down venues based on their experience working at each of them. We knew during the initial meeting that they were a good fit for us. On our wedding day Zach and his second shooter were great. It was the perfect mix of being involved and being a "fly on the wall". Our photos turned out beautiful and we would (and have) recommended them to everyone.
This last year we hired Zack and his team for photography, uplighting, and a photo booth and truly cannot say enough how happy we are with that decision. We first met Zack at a bridal show and fell in love with his work and his personality. We felt like we had known him forever. Once he heard about our venue he encouraged us to get uplighting to enhance the room. At first we were a bit hesitant but it turned out to be a great decision. Relative to the rest of our decor it was a huge bang for the buck. A few hundred dollars completely transformed the room! It was gorgeous! If you're looking for a photographer still, I highly recommend Bow Tie Photo!
Our wedding photos turned out great from using Bow Tie Photo! We had specific needs on our wedding day that we wanted to make sure our photographer could capture. Zack was very open to our ideas and wanted to make sure that everything was taken care of. We were blown away when we got our wedding photos! They exceeded all of our expectations! On top of that his pricing was great!
We could not of asked for more from Zack and his team! From our initial meeting through the delivery of our photos Zack was there for all of or wedding photography needs. We had a crazy day and he was on top of it every bit of the way. We will definitely be referring him to everyone!
We want to thank Bow Tie very much for everything they did to make our wedding day photography experience everything we could have hoped for. Zack had a lot of quarterbacks throughout the day. I am so glad we chose Bow tie for our event. His patience with our large family who doesn't always follow direction was much appreciated. His assistant and him were just so professional, We just really appreciate all the hard work.
Zack and his team at Bow Tie Photo are absolutely amazing! They are professional, talented, dedicated, and have an in-depth understanding of the wedding business. Zack gave us a great deal of individual attention that included helping us to plan every aspect of our engagement shoot, wedding day, and bridal shoot. I was extremely impressed with how well every session turned out and highly recommend Zack to anyone!
Zack and his assistant were awesome both taking our wedding photos and working with us before the wedding to make sure everything was planned and in order. He worked with us to schedule phone and skype chats around our busy pre-wedding schedule. We can't recommend Bow Tie Photo enough!
I found Bow Tie Photo at a bridal trade show. I was impressed by the team's professionalism, quality of photos, and "extras" including uplighting. I loved Bow Tie from the day I met them (even though many others tried to solicit me). Zach made the entire process carefree. He made my decisions as a bride feel important. He did his best to capture every moment we were looking for as well as a few surprise shots. He kept everyone focused when time was an issue and also put everyone at ease when we had down time to have fun with the photos. He has a very creative eye to capture the moments of the day. If you're looking for a photographer that is professional, accommodating, easy to get along with, creative, personal, and will give you such peace of mind before the wedding, day of the wedding, and follow up after the wedding, then Zach and Bow Tie Photography is your only choice. I highly recommend this company a thousand times!

Zack and his helper were amazing!! Our pictures for the engagement session and the wedding turned out great, and he knows what he's doing. Our cocktail hour photos were done very quickly (thank god-it was freezing outside!!!) and well done. Do yourself a favor and use Zack; I promise you won't be disappointed!

Bow Tie Photo is the complete package! Zack is so amazing to work with! His assistants are equally amazing and it's great that you can get uplighting and cinematography all in one place. You can't get better quality for the price! Zack took the time to visit the venue beforehand, got to know my fiance and I as a couple, and was open to my ideas. The 2 sneak peek photos he sent the day after the wedding are amazing, and we know the rest will be awesome as well. No one else guarantees you all the rights to the photos and so many edited photos for this price. Highly recommend to everyone! You won't be disappointed!
