Zela Films

ofessional, and attentive to our vision for our wedding film. Zak had a clear and creative vision for our film and he executed it flawlessly. He captured every moment beautifully and created a film that truly reflects the love and joy we felt on our special day. It's been almost a year since our wedding, and my husband and I have watched our film countless times. Each time, we are transported back to that magical day and reminded of the love and commitment we share. In addition to being a talented filmmaker, Zak is an all-around great person. He was easy to communicate with, prompt with responses, and always had a positive attitude. He made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. If you're looking for a wedding filmmaker who is talented, professional, and easy to work with, look no further than Zela Films and Zak. I am so grateful that we chose him to capture our special day, and I know that you will be too!

ing the whole process. We finally had our wedding celebration in September 2022 and we are so glad we decided to invest in videography. Zak's aesthetic and storytelling is what drew us to Zela Films. We hired our photographers separately (and they never worked together before) but Zak and our photographers were able to seamlessly work together and their work complements each other. Zak was great throughout the day, super chill, and we love our videos!

hills each time I watch our sizzler. They were able to capture the love, feeling, and immense happiness of our day through an authentic lens. I couldn't recommend Zela more. Thank you for the beautiful memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.

ew they were the team we wanted to hire. Come wedding day, we could not have been more pleased. They were friendly, enthusiastic, and brought a certain element that made it easy to see that they genuinely cared about us and our day. On top of all of this, the film from our wedding is spectacular, it could not have come out any better. It is exactly what we wanted and dreamed of and we can not thank Zela Films enough.

ictures and videos. I picked Zela because they're really good at capturing authentic moments. I did not want any moments staged, but I also wanted a story told. They did a great job combining both, using our officiant as the narrator to our special day. We've already gotten so many positive feedbacks from friends and family!

ed on the video… BREATHTAKING is an understatement! Words cannot describe our appreciation for his art and personality! We are forever grateful that we were able to have him at our wedding to capture all of the love that day! If Zak isn’t a part of your wedding yet, you better make sure he is!

r wedding and it was mirrored in our wedding videos. We are extremely thankful we worked with Zela Films, we will forever cherish the memories Zela captured for us!

ng video will capture our love perfectly and we can’t wait to see the final product. Zak is so gifted at capturing all the details and creating a beautiful video. I highly recommend Zela Films for your wedding!

stes and preferences in regards to the video style to help inform the video direction. On the day of the wedding, they could not have been more supportive, flexible, and empathetic. Being filmed throughout the most important day of your life could easily be quite stressful but we didn’t feel stressed, nervous, or distracted by the Zela team at all. Zak brought a very calming and humorous presence throughout the whole day. In terms of the final product, we were absolutely blown away. We had high expectations from seeing Zela’s incredible work from other weddings but the video exceeded these high hopes. Zak and team found a way to tell a beautiful story of our day and show the big and small moments that embodied the love that was in the room that day. We can say without a doubt that we will be watching the videos on our anniversary for many, many years to come. Thank you Zela for capturing the most special day of our lives and doing so with such creativity, artistry, and care.

very detail of love and happiness is incredible. The quality and professionalism is next level. I wouldn’t change a single thing about having them there to create the most memorable and beautiful video of our wedding!

k made the process so straightforward and easy. My husband Lucas and I knew as we started planning our day that videography was important to us. The day goes by so fast and its nice to know that those moments are captured and are there for you to look back on for years to come. Unfortunately, like many others, we found ourselves making the tough decision to postpone our big wedding until 2022 due to COVID. But after being together for almost 10 years, we decided we still wanted to get married and celebrate with immediate family and close friends on our original date. Zak pivoted with us and was there to capture our minimony. Months later, as we sat and watched our wedding video and ceremony, we were in awe of Zak’s artistic process and found ourselves watching the style of video we had always wanted. We were constantly pausing the videos to say to each other how happy we were to have Zak around and that we had picked Zela Films. We are so excited to have Zak as part of our vendor team for our I Do Part 2 next year! He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and walks you through his ideas for your big day from start to finish. Zela Films did an outstanding job capturing our minimony and we can’t wait to see what next year’s big day brings!

e and artistic than all the other videographers I had looked in to and I was so impressed by all of their work. After one phone call with Zak I knew he would capture exactly what we were looking for. Zak was so kind and easy to talk to and worked amazing with our photographer. He was so creative and has a great eye for capturing the best footage. We love our new video and I can not stop watching the beautiful work Zela created for us. We couldn't be happier that we decided to book with Zela and we can not recommend them enough. Thank you Zela Films!

extremely talented. I spent months trying to find the perfect documentary style Videographer - and I am glad I did. Zela Films is the real deal.

seeing Zela Films’ work, we knew immediately that our day would be captured perfectly. From start to finish, Zak was great to work with. Leading up the our wedding, he was organized and made sure all of our questions were answered. On our wedding day, he coordinated with our photographer, venue, and other vendors to help the day run smoothly, which took a ton of stress off our shoulders! Most importantly, the final product of our wedding film was beautiful, and it captured all of the special moments that we believe made our wedding day so memorable. We are super grateful to have our film to watch for years to come! Thank you Zela Films!

alm, cool and collected to day! After the wedding, we were nervous about coming off awkward on camera but Zela’s approach to filming and documenting the best day of our lives was thoughtful, natural and so much fun! They did the most amazing job capturing our personalities, our multicultural families and just the sheer amount of love that filled that day! We are beyond grateful to have had Zela as part of our team!

was truly incredible to work with, so beyond talented and extremely kind and professional. Zela truly helped make our wedding day so spectacular. Our films were incredible and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and a better vendor honestly. Book Zela Films!!!!!

experienced several reschedules due to COVID. When state restrictions canceled our micro wedding two days before our date, we quickly shifted our plans with our amazing team of vendors. Zela was understanding and seamlessly adjusted to fit our last-minute plans. After viewing our final film, it is clear that Zela's attention to detail, talent for storytelling, and cinematic vision is of the highest quality. They are a team that you want a part of your story.

uch more! Wonderful, and down to earth people to work with! We will continue to recommend them for years to come :)

ey know what to capture and when). I am happy to say that they captured everything we could have wanted and more! Our films are such a beautiful representation of our wedding day and are something we will cherish forever. We couldn’t even tell we were being recorded throughout the day, Zak blended in so naturally with everyone and everything that was going on that day. He also worked very well with our photographer to ensure nothing was missed. I cannot say how happy and blessed we feel to have made the decision to go with Zela! Definitely one of the best decisions we could have made.

t they helped to calm me down with I was so nervous! We just passed our one year anniversary, and started the tradition of watching our wedding video every year to remember our big day. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience with Zela Films!

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

d, punctual and made the process seamless! I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The finished product was absolutely beautiful. It captured our love, the scenery and all of our most favorite, cherished moments perfectly! We are so grateful that we have this everlasting reminder of our special day!

itely happens for a reason and I am SO glad they were able to capture our wedding. From the very beginning you guys were so personable and were absolutely great to work with. Thanks again for capturing the most important day of our lives and doing a fantastic job!!

ideo in such a timely manner, which held us over while we waited for the final product. Can’t recommend Zela enough!

when COVID/lockdowns hit. If Zack and Lydia are half as sweet, accommodating, and understanding as they are in the midst of a pandemic you are in amazing hands. They are just genuinely good people. I initially reached out to them because of the quality and uniqueness of their videos (the proof is in the pudding, check out their Instagram and website). Without harping too much on COVID, they pivoted along with us a total of 4 times ending up with a dreamy elopement in the mountains. I should add they had never done a wedding like this before. The venue, Promise Ridge, I wouldn't have even known about if it weren't for Zack and Lydia. Needless to say, these are people that actually care about you, your day, and your vision. This is who you want on your team.

films could do he was sold!!! We absolutely love every video that they have produced of us in our special day!!!! Zack and Lydia are absolutely spectacular and are so incredibly nice!!!! I would suggest them to anyone and everyone to capture the most important day of your life!

t so comfortable. Our photographer, Gabe McMullen, photographed Zack and Lydia's wedding and they worked so well together during our wedding. It was awesome that Zack and Lydia arrived at the venue early to capture film in the area. From watching some of their other wedding videos, we were so excited about Zela's unique style. Our videos turned out AMAZING and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. They gave us a perfect mix of creativity, beauty and love. We highly recommend Zela Films! Thank you both!

ere very professional. They are so talented and organized! Thanks again for being a huge part of our wedding!

re both very professional, punctual, and extremely helpful both on the day of our wedding as well as leading up to the big day. They took in consideration our likes and dislikes in creating our films and we absolutely love the final products they created for us. I would highly recommend using them :)

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

hing very well, and were easy to work with in general. On the day of our wedding they managed to keep the filming both fun and laid-back and made both of us feel comfortable and at ease. They were also super flexible and accommodating with some very last-minute requests. We absolutely loved the final videos, which to us really captured the vibe of the wedding and allowed us to relive it. We would work with them again in a heartbeat, worth every penny!

er or not I wanted to hire a videographer but once I saw their work I knew I had to hire them. The way they were able to capture our special day is truly remarkable and my friends and family still rave about my wedding video. If you are looking for a videographer that will truly capture the emotion of your special day in a cinematic and beautiful way then Zack and Lydia are it.

artists, and super fun to be around!
