Zhaun Frias Photography

ention - cinematic yet organic; emotional without feeling overly staged, and beautifully true to life. Zhaun also shot our engagement session at two separate locations in Beacon Hill and Tatte, and the photos felt effortlessly authentic - like a true reflection of us, but slightly elevated in the best way. He made us feel comfortable the entire time, and coached us with instructions that didn’t make anything feel posed or unnatural. On our wedding day, he was so much more than just a photographer - he was easily the best vendor we worked with. He brought a calm, confident presence and honestly felt like a second wedding coordinator. He kept things flowing smoothly, without ever feeling intrusive. Zhaun was direct, yet incredibly personable with our guests. The kids absolutely loved his silly faces while shouting out “monkey!” and “turkey!” to capture their genuine smiles, and he even hugged the groom after shooting an emotional first touch. This isn’t just a job to him - you can tell he is emotionally present and genuinely cares about our wellbeing and experience, reminding us both to stay grounded in the moment on numerous occasions. Lastly, to top it off, Zhaun delivered our full gallery over a month faster than promised - without sacrificing an ounce of his usual quality. The turnaround time, especially at his level of artistry, blew our minds! We wholeheartedly recommend Zhaun to anyone looking for more than just photos, but rather an investment into memories that will be cherished for years and years to come. If you are looking for someone who embodies professionalism, excellence, and humanity in their work, then look no further.

session. The photos that he takes are so beautiful and authentic, far exceeding my hopes and expectations. He helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and throughout the session made it such an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend working with him both for his impeccable artistic skills and eye, but also for his professionalism and fun and positive attitude. Zhaun is so wonderful and wish we could have another photo shoot all over again together- it was so great!

d with his friendliness, professionalism, and timeliness. Not only was Zhaun willing to have an early morning shoot with us on a chilly fall day, but he scoped out areas for us to shoot in before we had even showed up that morning! Even though it was our first time meeting in-person, Zhaun's warm and friendly personality made us feel comfortable and ready to be in front of the camera. We genuinely had so much fun that day and lost track of time. The cherry on top was how quickly he was able to get our photos to us! In less than a week, Zhaun sent us our online photo album which was easy to use, download photos from, and share with loved ones. We're so excited to work with him on our wedding day next year!

he went above and beyond for us, making us feel completely at ease. Our engagement shoot was so much fun, and we knew we were in good hands right away. Zhaun was instrumental in drafting our timeline and guiding us through the entire process. His fun-loving personality, humor, and exceptional organization made the experience outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend Zhaun to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!

such a gem of a person who is a true professional in his field. If we got married again, I would be conflicted whether to invite him or book him because of how wonderful he is and his skills behind the lens.

prepared and to make sure we got shots of everything through a long day and multiple locations. He gracefully wrangled our huge party and family. We used Zhaun for both engagement and wedding day photos and I could not recommend him more.

n front of the camera and having a photographer that might judge us. When meeting Zhaun for the first time, he immediately made us feel so comfortable! He helped us do our engagement shoot and our wedding photography. He really took the time to get to know our personalities and make the engagement shoot so fun! When we go the pictures back, we fell in love with his editing style and how he was able to perfectly capture our quirkiness and love. In preparation for the wedding day, Zhaun sent us checklists and tips and tricks through email, which helped us out so much! Zhaun is so attentive, answered all our questions, and even helped us decide on our tricky timeline for the day. We had booked Zhaun for 9 hours as he was also taking pictures for our Chinese tea ceremony in the morning. There were moments Zhaun stepped in when we needed help with positioning, posing, and timing, and there were also times where he was just a fly on the wall, and gave us the space and time to process our precious moments. We also had Zhaun bring a second photographer as I really wanted two perspectives of my husband getting ready and his reaction to me walking down the aisle without sacrificing Zhaun's time with my side (the bride's side). The second photographer was also amazing! She was so helpful (especially when it came to corralling the groom's side together and making sure the groomsmen were in line LOL). This is all to say Zhaun is great and his team is ALSO great. My friends, family, and all the guests kept telling me how professional, mindful, personable, and kind he is. I cannot wait for the rest of my pictures to arrive but I know beautiful things require patience! 10/10 AMAZING experience with Zhaun, you will not regret it!!!

friendly nature made the entire session not just enjoyable but truly fun. He has a remarkable talent for capturing beautiful and authentic moments that truly reflect the essence of our relationship. Zhaun’s communication throughout the process was fantastic. He kept us informed every step of the way and made sure we felt comfortable and at ease. His attention to detail and genuine care for our vision really shone through, and it made all the difference. One of the standout aspects of working with Zhaun is his ability to make photos feel natural and unstaged. Instead of traditional poses, he gave us thoughtful prompts that allowed us to be ourselves and truly enjoy the moment. The result? Photos that are not only stunning but also full of real, heartfelt emotion. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your love in a genuine and beautiful way, while making the experience enjoyable and stress-free, we wholeheartedly recommend Zhaun Frias. Thank you, Zhaun, for capturing our love so perfectly! We couldn’t be happier!

ism, humanity, and fun to our wedding! His commitment to his couples is unmatched: We had to reschedule our engagement shoot due to illness and Zhaun turned around our entire gallery in 3 days in order for us to have the photos to use for our save the dates. His planning and communication are top-notch. Zhaun makes photography fun: My now-husband (who does not like to take pictures) had a blast at our engagement session. At the wedding, our family members, bridal party, and guests raved about Zhaun being so personable and easy to work with. Zhaun managed to capture every moment while never overshadowing or being pushy (like some weddings we’ve been to!) I was nervous that without videography, some details and emotions from our wedding would be lost, but Zhaun’s photojournalism style brings our day back to life through our photos. And last but certainly not least, the most obvious praise to sing: Zhaun’s photos and editing are incredible. He even shot a roll of film for us- we love having another style of photos, some we love more than the digital versions! Our friends are all in awe, as are we. Thank you Zhaun for being an integral part of our wedding.

thing we wanted captured. Instead of engagement photos since we had them planned before hiring Zhaun, he was very accommodating and photographed our traditional Chinese tea ceremony and rehearsal dinner instead. Zhaun was super helpful when it came to posing which made us feel more at ease and so fun to work with. He’s incredibly talented and captured so many moments of our loved ones we didn’t get to see. When family photos felt a little chaotic during cocktail hour, he was quick to reel everyone in while still allowing everyone to take photos on his phone and get the shots he needed. His turnaround time is also impeccable and we even got sneak peaks before our honeymoon less than two weeks after our wedding. Looking at our photos tell the story of the entire day with our loved ones. It was an amazing experience working with Zhaun and I highly recommend him. I hope we have an opportunity to work with him again in the future. Thank you, Zhaun for being there for us and photographing our big day!

us put together our wedding timeline and was always available for us to reach out with more photo ideas. He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and like you are on top of the world when you receive your gallery. It's obvious that he cares about every photo he edits and takes and we could not recommend him enough. He considers his packages as investments and we couldn't agree more, it's an investment in not just spectacular photos but someone who will work with you to help make your wedding extra special.

Y recommend, especially if you want to be left speechless by your photos!

ding day and Zhaun captured the memories perfectly. We loved every photo we got, and he delivered both sneak peaks and the full gallery quickly. Choosing a photographer is so important and there is no one I could recommend higher.

what we wanted for both our engagement shoot & wedding day. Once booked, Zhaun was truly with us through every step of the way. He relieved so much of our stress as he helped to create our wedding day timeline. His support and guidance made us feel so secure. He also made connections with our other vendors, ensuring everyone was on the same page. My husband and I could not be happier with our photo gallery! Zhaun sent us a ‘sneak peak’ only a few days after the wedding while we were on our honeymoon! We were pleasantly surprised with how quick the entire photo gallery was finished. We are so grateful to have a gallery of beautiful, classy & elegant photos from the best night of our life with our favorite people!

and I have known for a long time that I would like him to be my photographer. It was an absolute joy to work with Zhaun! He did both our engagement and wedding photos and throughout everything he helped me to feel rooted, secure, joyful, and flat out THRILLED by the pictures he captured. Zhaun is very relaxed, confidence boosting, knowledgeable, reassuring, and fun. If I could do my wedding all over again, I would hire Zhaun (and all the people that made my wedding a reality) IN AN INSTANT! I hope that I can hire Zhaun in the future for other lifetime events!

ortant to us that we were supporting AAPI businesses. From our first email to our first introduction call, Zhaun was professional, funny, and easy to talk to. He didn’t pressure us into hiring him and encouraged us to do our homework on wedding photographers. He left such a great impression on us that it didn’t take long for us to book with him. An engagement shoot was included, and my husband and I had such a fun time. It allowed us to get to know Zhaun too. As two former photographer hobbyists, we weren’t used to being in front of the camera. But Zhaun made us feel so comfortable and confident, and he guided us the entire time. Our wedding was even more amazing, and Zhaun captured everything we wanted and more. We are so incredibly grateful to have found him, and it was a true pleasure working with him. We cannot recommend him enough!

d while not spending too much time exclusively on photos, so we could spend time with our guests. We got comments from other vendors and from guests about how great he was and how hard he was working to get the perfect shots. He gave the perfect amount of direction and instructions, and helped everyone to look their best! We’re not big photo people, so were quite nervous to be in front of the camera. But he made it feel super natural and fun, and it ended up being a surprisingly amazing part of the day! When we got the final photos back, we were totally blown away by how they turned out. They are absolutely gorgeous, and Zhaun was able to pick up the beauty of the space and light perfectly, as well as capture lots of candid moments. Zhaun was wonderful, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone having a New England wedding!!

that a wedding photographer is not just someone taking pictures of your special day…it’s who you’ll hangout with most, who will bring your emotions to life in print, and who artistically tells your love story. Zhaun is all of those things and more. When we first met Zhaun for an intro call, the vibes were just right. He gave us an immense amount of confidence in his ability, and also was so honest and approachable when answering our questions. We felt most comfortable with his approach, style and knew he was the perfect person to capture our special day. What came after was far beyond our expectations. From meeting for hours in a Cava basement to discuss every single timeline detail, vision we had, and lend advice along the way…to answering texts with random paranoid questions promptly…to literally being the first person to greet and hug my mom on the day of the wedding - he was beyond! Beyond personable, beyond talented, and beyond a pleasure to be around. We are not people that are especially comfortable posing, and we wanted to be sure to capture all the little candid moments we had throughout the day/night. Zhaun took our direction and also his own and what resulted was magic. Our photos bring us right back to the exact emotions we felt on our most special day! His delicate balance of being intimately present for every little moment without imposing is so wonderful. In our photos we saw all the details of the day, we saw what others saw, and we saw every little glance or smile we gave one another - and it was all just so special. We got compliments from all of our family, wedding party and guests on how much of a joy he was to be around. Zhaun was our photographer, and now we also consider him our friend. We hope to use him to capture all of our family’s life moments - because he really is amazing at what he does. If you’re in search of a wedding photographer in MA (and beyond) - definitely link up with him, he will deliver the photos of your dreams!

we chose. We started with engagement photos and Zhaun immediately knew how to keep a photo shy couple smiling and at ease. As a stressed bride, Zhaun was a comfortable and calm presence, cracking jokes to ease tension, reminding me to eat, and take time to enjoy the special moments. He was never in the way but somehow captured everything! We cannot thank Zhaun enough for capturing our special day flawlessly, and to anyone still searching, stop now! Book Zhaun!

we were looking for. As the photographer for our engagement and wedding photos, he helped us ease into the process, feel comfortable, and have so much fun! He scoped out the areas we were interested in so that we could capitalize on the spaces that we loved, and he added great creative perspective. 10/10 recommend. He was super communicative and responsive which really help put me at ease. He helped us create a timeline for the day of, was mindful of family dynamics, and made the experience so stress free!

y offerings are. Through the process his communication was also always excellent. His photographs are also just amazing. Truly works of art. He makes boring settings look beautiful. The composition of his photos is really fantastic. Photos feel glamorous, but somehow natural, not overly posed, somehow photojournalistic at the same time. That's a lot, but really Zhaun is the best and I we could not recommend him enough.

during the wedding, and really put us at ease - which made a huge difference during such a stressful time. We're very happy with our photos and can't recommend Zhaun enough!

ng in front of the camera. When we first met Zhaun via a video-call he reassured us that he had worked with many couples who were photographed professionally for the first time. He was very flexible with where and when we could do our engagement session and he helped us plan what time of day would be best to do photos. During the session, Zhaun joked and conversed with us, so by the end of the session we felt like we had hired a friend to take our photos which made the whole session feel very authentic. We were extremely pleased with the photos that we got back - it was very hard to determine what photos to print! We worked with Zhaun a few months before the wedding via email and we had a couple video calls to go over some planning sheets that he had prepared for the wedding day. These sheets were hugely helpful not just for planning photos, but for planning the day of the wedding since we were able to tell our friends and families when they were needed for photos ahead of time. Zhaun also suggested that we do our wedding party photos and family photos as much as we can before the ceremony so that less of the cocktail hour and reception would be taking formal photos. On the wedding day, Zhaun kept in communication over text about when he would be arriving which helped lower our stress. Our pre-ceremony bride/groom photos went off without a hitch and he used that time to get to know our wedding party so that he could rely on them throughout the evening to corral friends and family for photos. He made instant connections with everyone from the wedding party and they all said great things about him to us later. Zhaun's setup in the venue was seamless and discreet, yet the photos he got of the ceremony and reception seemed so natural! Zhaun's fly-on-the-wall style of photography made it so that we could focus on our friends and family most of the night while he captured little moments that we didn't even know about. He even stayed longer to capture some group photos for no additional charge. Zhaun offers a great photography package that includes both the engagement session and wedding photography that was cheaper than hiring a separate engagement and wedding photographer. This was a huge plus to us since we were planning our wedding while one of us was in grad school. We didn't know what to expect when it came to number of photos that would be delivered, so we were surprised by volume of photos we got that lets us relive our wedding night down to the little details of our decorations. We highly recommend Zhaun for your engagement and wedding photography needs!!

re looking for. For our engagement shoot we had hoped for a perfect sunny early morning shoot and ended up with a foggy day. Zhaun was totally flexible in reschedule but we chose to go on with it because made us feel like they would come out with such special intimate vibe and they totally did! During the planning process he was easy to communicate with and was super helpful in listening to our ideas and helping us turn them into a reality, often times sharing the pros and cons of different ideas and always been down for the ride. Zhaun was so easy to work with, grounding, and helped us prioritize what truly matters when we were debating more formal photos vs time with friends during cocktail hour. We ended up choosing photos we’d truly print and frame (his suggestion) and I’m so happy we did because as a result we got some real fun candids saying hi to people for the first time after the ceremony. The actual wedding was so perfect and calm and the entire wedding party remarked at how cool and easy to work with Zhaun was. He made the day a breeze and got all the shots we were looking for plus some (first look, couple shots at the venue, sunset photos)! Our photos came back sooner than we’d hoped and the best part was he got some great shots of our VIPs aka friends and family that really capture the mood. We’d hire him again and again.

uch an eye for the art. I knew I wanted Zhaun to be our wedding photographer literally since I first saw one of his photos a little over a year ago. He is incredible and I could not recommend him more! My husband and I decided to skip the engagement shoot and go for a second photographer and it was awesome! Zhaun and his co-photographer were able to capture exactly what we wanted and more. If you are looking for a sign to book him, this is it! He is also such a big help along the way of the wedding-planning process. He knows his stuff! Best photographer we could have chosen, for sure.

through our friends who were married in June of 2021. After speaking with them and seeing their work we reached out to him and after 30 minutes of speaking with him, we booked him! He is so outrageously talented and fun to work with. Neither of us had any experience in front of a camera but he is full of little tips that allowed us to feel at ease, be natural and have fun in front of the camera. In addition, he is a calm presence, works incredibly hard and has such a fantastic eye that he captures wonderful moments that you will cherish forever. In hindsight, the photographer is one of the most important people at your wedding and I believe you can put your full trust in Zhaun!

ard-working and dedicated to our wedding and needs. Zhaun was punctual in his responses to us, and wanted to really know about us, our relationship, our wedding and who we were as a couple. He made the whole wedding planning process easier, and much more enjoyable. He sent us updates, helpful resources, and really took the time to listen to our vision for our wedding photos. In the days leading up to our wedding, Zhaun responded to each email, text, and last minute photo suggestion immediately and with excitement. He made us feel comfortable behind the camera and was beyond creative with his shots. The photos blew us away. Within 5 days we had a sneak peek, and by the 1 month mark, had our full album (which he organized into categories which made my teacher-type a heart beam!) I wish we could get married again so we could have Zhaun capture our day. I said it already, but the best wedding decision we made was having Zhaun behind the camera.

o our photos. He is a talented photographer with so much creativity and artistic vision - but he's also extremely professional and reliable. Here are just a few of the many things Zhaun did that made him stand out above any other photographer: 1) From our initial meeting, Zhaun was extremely interested in understanding what our style was and what we wanted our photos to portray. He took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. We had several conversations about what we wanted from both our engagement and wedding photos (classy, simple, elegant, timeless, but also FUN) - and he delivered our exact vision. 2) He helped COACH us during our engagement session and helped us feel super comfortable posing (we are not professionals, LOL). He did a great job making sure we felt confident. 3) He was communicative, responsive, and helpful each step of the way. He was always willing to hop on a call or go back & forth over email. Def not one of those "radio silence" vendors you hear about! He even helped us plan our wedding timeline! 4) He went above and beyond on the wedding day - he helped all the bridesmaids move their suitcases and dresses for photos and just made everyone feel super comfortable during the shoot. He did great with our entire extended family and helped us get the shots we needed! 5) THE DELIVERY - he delivered a "sneak peak" of photos just a few days after the wedding. All the photos were stunning and super high quality. We loved Zhaun, would work with him again, and would recommend him to anyone. There is literally nothing bad to say about him. From Stephen: I don't typically care about photos, but Zhaun's photography was OUTSTANDING. He did a great job directing our family, keeping us on schedule, and delivering a quality product that will last a lifetime. We were super grateful to have him be our photographer and would definitely recommend him to everyone (we've already referred him to several friends who have booked him already).

found Zhaun in that blur but I’m confident that the Lord had his hand in it because after we talked to him my husband and I immediately agreed that he was going to be our photographer for our wedding day. And he didn’t disappoint. The number 1 compliment we’ve received from our wedding guests has been how amazing our photographer was, from how gorgeous the photos turned out to how fun he was at the wedding, dancing right along with everyone else and getting some great shots of our dancing guests. Zhaun is super laid back and fun, but also very knowledgeable about how to organize a wedding day to go smoothly, which it did perfectly. Of all our vendors, he made us feel most confident that our vision would be met because he maintained regular contact with us throughout our planning process and made certain he knew exactly what we wanted for our big day, and gave great suggestions. His pictures are absolutely gorgeous, and also very fun. He takes the very classically beautiful shots but then he also does some that are really interesting and unique. We have some beautiful photos that most people don’t because they’re not the same ones you see wedding after wedding. Make sure to do the engagement shoot. It was a great opportunity for us to get to know him and learn some great tips on how to pose well. On our wedding day we were already very comfortable with each other and knew just what to expect.

t feel staged but instead we genuinely had a lot of fun. This truly translates in the images produced and creates meaningful memories that you will cherish forever! We could not recommend him enough. Thank you a million, Zhaun!

s almost like we got a photographer / coordinator in one. From planning out a time line and coordinating with our day off coordinator it was such a relief. Everyone at our wedding commented on Zhaun and his second shooters friendliness and and the level of fun they brought to all of our guests. I don't think Zhaun missed a single second of shooting with all of the pictures we got, and how was the quality of every single photo from our special day? Breathtaking. Our photos could not have come out any better. We are 3 months out and we can not stop looking at them. I would never, from this point forward, take any of my photography business elsewhere. Zhaun we love you and thank you for being there to document our special day.

s wonderfully. Zhaun was flexible (we literally got married in a hurricane this summer) and took the lead in preparing us for our big day. We highly recommend Zhaun, you will not be disappointed!

ed so many compliments on the quality of the memories he captured. I could not recommend Zhaun enough.

to pose for pictures. I am so happy with his level of service and expertise!

r had any questions as to what the photography plan was since Zhaun tended to everything meticulously. We didn’t get to meet Zhaun in person until the day of our wedding but he melded perfectly with our group keeping everyone in good spirits and at ease for the picture taking process. He wrangled a huge wedding party (18 of us) and extended family for gorgeous pictures as storm clouds rolled in. He completed everything before even 1 drop of rain fell. We received our sneak peek gallery in less than a week after the date and wow, we are blown away. Zhaun goes above and beyond for his clients to ensure an amazing experience. His passion for his art is clear and we feel so blessed to have worked with him.

ictable lighting. I would highly recommend, he is the best!

igure out who that was going to be. I reached out to Zhaun via Instagram message, and luckily, Zhaun was down to accept last minute! Zhaun made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, has a very hospitable and welcoming personality, and really puts in the effort to ask questions and communicate as much as possible. He is also very professional! Lastly, the edits to our elopement photos were such a quick turnaround -- ONE DAY! The editing was stunning and we received a lot of compliments from our friends and families. Overall, we would rate our experience with Zhaun a 5 out of 5 stars (if we could rate him more than 5 stars, we would!). NO REGRETS! Thank you so much Zhaun!

m demeanor helped my husband and I get comfortable being behind the camera and the end result was magic. He captured our love for each other perfectly. I highly recommend him not only because his work speaks for its self but also for the guidance he provided before the big day! He shares his past experiences with future brides which is helpful when you have your hands full with every other detail of wedding planning. You can not go wrong hiring Zhaun!

s later, our family members can't stop raving at how professional, efficient, poised, and skilled Zhaun was. When it comes down to it, we hired Zhaun becuase we loved his photography, and he did not disappoint. He's skilled at both setting shots so that we look way more beautiful than we actually are as well as capturing the candid moments that we keep on going back to. We've gone through the slideshow with different family members multiple times since our wedding and they've been a wonderful way to remember our day. Hire Zhaun!

appreciated that his photos and suggestions met exactly what we wanted out of our photos. I feel like his shots are unique and will make your event feel special. They aren’t cookie cutter like a lot of portfolios I saw! Everyone in my party enjoyed working with him and was comfortable. He is a great photographer and certainly goes above and beyond to ensure your day is captured well! We will be booking him again next year and hopefully for many things after that.

ccommodating and professional people I've ever worked with. We planned, he asked a lot of questions about our ceremonies and culture (and timeline as he's extremely punctual) - he cared a lot. The day of the wedding, we saw Zhaun walking around swiftly and efficiently taking shots, staging pictures in a confident yet unobtrusive manner. He seriously knew what he was doing (and by the way, he is also very fun and likeable - he felt like a cousin). Our whole family was impressed. And then the pictures came. I used to say I wasn't a wedding or a picture person. And now, Zhaun's photos have made me both. I don't know how he did what he did, but he is an artist with a mastery of the technical in his field and an innate je nais sai quoi (I think it's a gift). He even labeled the album with the appropriate religio-cultural parts of the ceremony - again, because he cares. Thank you a hundred times from both of us, Zhaun. You really made our whole summer by beautifully capturing such a unique, milestone experience in an otherwise tough year. If anyone is thinking twice of hiring Zhaun, don't. It is the easiest decision you can make, for any event.

e, Zhaun.

ly). All the shots were taken in the moment of real people, responding in real ways, and he captured those tender, vulnerable, memorable, and hidden moments that can go unseen and unappreciated. Zhaun's work is 10/10 and exemplifies who he is as a person. He deeply cares about people and is present wherever he is never failing to make you smile! Hire him, you will not regret it!
