Zoe and Josh are amazing! Zoe did our engagement shoot in Nashville, and Josh captured our wedding day in St. Louis! We love our engagement shots and have used them for everything....
We just got our preview from our wedding and all of the wedding party said how amazing they turned out! And it’s just the preview! Can’t wait to see the rest. 10/10, highly recommend Zoe!!
Zoe was fantastic to work with, and would highly recommend! From the initial inquiry email, to her delivering an insane amount of photos from our wedding day within the timeframe s...
he said she would, we could not be more happy! We loved the different packages we could choose from for the right coverage during our engagement and wedding, and feel the pricing was appropriate for all of the services she provided. She was very responsive throughout, and even after my pictures were delivered and I had questions! Would also recommend including her second photographer, Tressa, as she did a fantastic job with all of the groom’s photography and assisting in whatever was needed throughout our wedding day!
Zoe is a delight to work with and my photos turned exactly how i wanted. I was concerned about the lighting in our venue because i like bright colorful pictures. They turned out br...
ighter than i hoped for.... and she delivered a month earlier than our agreement. Love everything ❤️

Zoe and her husband Josh were the perfect team to photograph our wedding day. Zoe was so helpful and most of all, patient during the planning process. These two brought the perfect...
positive energy that I needed on my wedding day. They made sure we were all having the most fun we could have. They were also really great about listening to my needs. We had guests arrive very early and I did not want to be seen by all of them yet. Zoe and Josh were so great about directing people around and making sure I felt comfortable. I will never forget how amazing they were to us and how special it made our day. We got back even more photos than I was expecting. Our photos capture every moment and detail of the day, even the moments I missed because I was busy or talking to a family member. Not only that, but they are the most high quality photos, with so many different backgrounds and poses. We had so much fun playing with my long veil and the photos are like something out of a movie. My husband Cody and I are so thankful for the experience you guys gave us and the stunning, timeless photos we have to look back on forever.
I could not have asked for a better photographer than Zoe! She and her assistant were highly professional, fun, and helped us get the shots we wanted. She kept us on schedule and I...
absolutely love the results of her photos! We hired her for our engagement and wedding photos, and we have no regrets whatsoever! I usually hate taking pictures, but my husband and I had a lot of fun with Zoe as our photographer. 10/10 recommended!
Zoe was a pleasure to work with. She and her husband were professional but personal, they really helped lighten stressful situations during my wedding. Zoe also help educate me on ...
how to take care of my flowers during my wedding when the florist just dropped them off without saying much of anything, she really saved me a headache there!
Zoe is an amazing photographer. I booked an engagement photo session at Missouri Botanical Gardens in August with Zoe. Unfortunately, it was one of the hottest days of the year, bu...
t Zoe was super enthusiastic and made the photography session easy. My husband and I are very introverted and neither of us have ever done a photo shoot, but Zoe was great at directing us and making the photo shoot fun! I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful engagement photos. I ordered prints from her online store and the metallic prints are absolutely gorgeous. We received several hundred gorgeous pictures and will cherish them forever. Thanks so much to Zoe for her amazing photography skills! We will be doing all future photoshoots with her!
Zoe did an amazing job with our engagement pictures. We are beyond happy with the quality work she delivered and the timely manner. Zoe helped us throughout the entire session. I h...
onestly was very nervous since it was my first time getting any professional pictures but what a great experience. She guided us and provided enough pictures to choose from for all wedding pictures. If we end up hosting our wedding in STL, we definitely will hire Zoe in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her. Easy to book. Easy to communicate. Just amazing!
I used Zoe for my 2020 wedding and knew I wanted to use her for our newborn photos when the time came! She was able to get 200+ pictures of our newborn in all the poses we wanted i...

Zoe. She was so professional and communicated with us consistently about the big day and our engagement session. I cannot express enough how happy we are with Zoe’s work and think she needs to charge more for her services, so book her quickly before she increases her minimums!!!

ing and kept to the schedule I had prepared (with her helpful tips). I didn’t have a single concern on our Wedding day about the photography and we now have beautiful photos to remember our day forever! We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s Photos and we’ll definitely keep her in mind for the future as we start our own family! I would highly recommend Zoe Life Photography to others!
Zoe was our favorite wedding vendor!! She was directive but kind, organized, and wasn't obtrusive as a photographer yet captured all of our special moments together. She also was f...
lexible and understanding and took a lot of time and energy to ask our preferences beforehand yet used her professional eye for some incredible photos. We also appreciated full access to the digital copies with package we chose. She is a great artist and is experienced. We recommend her to anyone for their special events!
I cannot begin to describe just how wonderful Zoe was to work with! She is incredibly talented, kind, and was able to capture the true joy of our day!
Zoe also did our engagement...
photos and had great ideas of where to go based on the season in St Louis! We will absolutely contact her again for all of our big life event photos!
We met Zoe last year when searching for a photographer to do our engagement photos and we based our decision by her beautiful work and what we read, as some of you may be doing rig...
ht now. After she did our engagement photos, we knew right way we wanted to book her for our wedding photos! But we didn’t just end there, Zoe also did our fall family photos as well right before the wedding and she did not disappoint. Not only is she talented and amazing at what she does but she is patient and works well with us in bringing our vision to life. After seeing a glimpse of our wedding photos we were in awe with how beautiful they turned out - if you are searching for a photographer, look no further - Zoe is amazing and will leave you speechless. Her work is amazing and beautiful. We look forward working with her again in the future,
We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! From helping to determine our wedding schedule to capturing the most incredible pictures of our big day, Zoe went ab...
ove and beyond! You know the pictures are amazing when you want to cancel all your weekend plans to continuously scroll through a 2000 picture gallery.
We loved working with Zoe and her husband on our wedding day! Although it is such a happy time, weddings can be stressful and her laid back personality helped me feel at ease. Mo...
st importantly, our pictures turned out beautifully! Also, my friends were so impressed with how quickly we got all of our pictures back.
Zoe was easy-going, knowledgable, and incredible at capturing our engagement photos. We took photos at Faust Park in the fall and had a one-hour engagement session. We loved her sh...
ooting style and she made the session comfortable and fun. Looking forward to having her shoot our wedding too!
Zoe is the best wedding photographer I could ask for. From our very first conversation, she is always prepared, calm, and sweet. She helped me put together the wedding day timeline...
, gave suggestions on where to take photos, and was always very patient with us. And of course, the most important is how beautiful the photos turned out. I love how she captures the surroundings and all the special moments. I highly recommend her!

he is also a great person. She was pleasant and encouraging the whole time. Her turnaround time was also incredible. She edited hundreds of photos for us in a couple of weeks. If you’re looking for a professional photographer for your wedding, hire Zoe!!! She is truly worth every dollar!
Wow... just wow! Zoe was so incredible on the shoot day. We are two awkward people that aren't used to being in front of a camera. Zoe made us feel so comfortable and made us look ...
AMAZING! These photos are a dream. We are so over the moon happy that we went with Zoe for our engagement photos. She gave us so many to choose from with so much variation between the backgrounds and poses. I cannot say enough good things about Zoe and her amazing work. HIRE HER!!! You won't regret it!!!!
Where do I start? My original wedding photographer cancelled on me last minute, and I was frantically searching for someone who matched the aesthetic/shot at my venue before/was a ...
kind person, and Zoe checked all of those boxes + more. She was extremely responsive, sweet, honest, and very professional for shooting a wedding with less than a weeks notice. I've gotten so many positive comments from guests on her professionalism, dedication to get the perfect shot, and ability to rally my large family photos. I feel like having her ended up being a blessing in disguise, and we're so grateful to have her capture our special day!
If you’re looking for authentic, classic engagement and/or wedding photos, Zoe Life Photography is for you! Zoe is so skilled at creating and capturing the most romantic and beauti...
ful moments. We looked though so many photographers, wanting more of a natural photo style rather than the more bold/dramatic style out there which just didn’t feel like us but seems pretty popular these days, but when we looked though Zoe’s portfolio, we were so excited - it was just the style we were looking for and she 110% delivered that for both our engagement and wedding photos.
We scheduled a last minute 1-hour engagement shoot with her in St. Louis when I was in town for the week and couldn’t have been happier with our (300+!!) photos. We were so relieved that she travels for weddings! Since we were going to have a packed wedding day, we decided to book her and her second shooter (her husband, Josh) and it was great to have photos of both bride and groom wedding parties getting ready and through the day! They did an AMAZING job, fully capturing the beauty of our outdoor waterfront garden venue and producing amazing photos in the full spectrum of lighting from bright Florida mid-day sun, to sunset portraits, to speeches under a spotlight after the sun went down and even people having fun on the dance floor (2,600+ amazing photos from 12 hours of shooting)!
Pros - She was super responsive and accomodating in setting up our engagement shoot only a few days ahead of time and throughout planning for the wedding; she was great about coaching us into cute and romantic poses where we still looked authentic and natural and captured our love in such a sweet and genuine way; she has a very thorough pre-wedding questionnaire to get all the info needed to make sure she knows what you want to capture on your day and makes sure to deliver! She was also SO FAST at turning around the finished gallery of photos- like record speed - only a couple days for all our beautiful engagement photos and she sent the link to the full online gallery of our gorgeous wedding photos like within a week - while we were still on our honeymoon!
Cons - Since we were getting married in Miami in March, photographer travel costs for wedding weekend added up kind of fast (but that wasn’t Zoe’s fault!). But even with travel costs, it still wasn’t as expensive as some of the Miami photographers we were shown by our planner and she is SO much better!
Bottom line- if you see Zoe’s portfolio and like her style, do not hesitate to book her! She turned my husband and I into models we never knew we were and we have the best engagement and wedding photos we could have ever asked for and that we can cherish for the rest of our lives!
Zoe was so fun and easy to work with for our Engagement session! She really helped my fiancé and I feel more comfortable in front of the camera and we’re in love with how our photo...
s turned out! We can’t wait for her to photograph our upcoming wedding day!
I was lucky enough to work with Zoe for both our engagement and our wedding! She flew all the way to NYC and got breath-taking photos for our engagement. Beyond her photography tal...
ent, she is extremely punctional, responsive to emails and detail-oriented. She is a perfectionist and it truly shows through her work. On our wedding day, she was so pleasant to be around and really listened to what we wanted for our photos. I had a blast working with her and could not recommend her more as a photographer.
Mike and I are OVER THE MOON about our engagement and wedding photos! She travelled all of the way to Chicago to complete our engagement session and delivered our photos within onl...
y a few days. Zoe and her team did the most amazing job and we have the most stunningly beautiful photos that we will absolutely cherish forever! She was so sweet and very, very easy to work with. She's incredibly organized and made our day so smooth. She gathered a lot of information about our wedding day beforehand and I think this really helped to ensure a seamless experience/day. She captured so many moments and people and I don't even know how she did it honestly. She delivered our HUGE wedding photo gallery in a very short period of time (and in the middle of her fall wedding season). I have only absolutely positive things to say about Zoe and her photography. Hands down a fantastic decision. Would/will hire her time and time again!! Couldn't be happier.
Zoe photographed our surprise proposal, our engagement photos and our wedding! I could not be happier with how every photo turned out and how perfectly she captured me and my husba...

vice I needed, Zoe was my wedding guru. It has been a roller coaster putting this wedding together, but having a strong vendor like Zoe has made all the difference. I loved her style as soon as I saw it and her relationship with us was nothing less than warm and professional. Quick to communicate and always had our vision in mind for our wedding day. Shawn and I thank you and your husband for helping us create lasting memories on our big day. Thank you Zoe and Josh!
Zoe was so responsive and thoughtful in every interaction from the engagement shoot to the album after the wedding.
We are *beyond thrilled & grateful* that Zoe photographed our wedding! Zoe has the best eye and really captures THE moment. From group portraits perfectly framed with trees and l...
it to perfection to epic dancefloor silliness to sweet moments between friends, she is a pro at documenting peak moments big and small. Zoe is very kind, considerate, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. You will be lucky to have Zoe on your big day!

ments of our big day. She was so easy to communicate with and everything was always very clear with her. She is so so sweet and was so wonderful to work with! She really has such a passion and such a talent for this. Would definitely recommend.
Zoe was the best wedding photographer I could have imagined for my wedding! As soon as I reached out, she was very responsive and we had an introductory call to discuss everything....
Throughout my engagement, she responded to phone calls and emails immediately. Zoe also walked through in person with me my reception and in between wedding photo sites before the wedding that made me so much more comfortable and relaxed knowing what to expect before the big day. On the day of, she and her husband/assistant were a perfect team gently directing the entire wedding party for all the shots and poses we could want. We LOVED all of the 2,000+ photos we received shortly after our wedding! So many beautiful shots and lots of variety. There were a few “must have” shots I asked for and Zoe delivered! Hiring Zoe will be the easiest and best decision in your wedding planning process!
Zoe is amazing! I am a Cornabride and she has been there every single step of the way. With all the uncertainty in our world right now she has always been there to provide ways to ...
make me feel better. She goes the extra step and really wants to make sure YOU are happy. Whenever I need a photographer- I’m coming straight to her! She’s the best! Thank you for everything, Zoe!

Zoe and Josh are fantastic!! We used them for both our engagement photos and for the wedding and are thrilled with the results! Our photos came out so romantic with beautiful light...
ing and they really captured our love. Zoe and Josh were both a joy to work with, Zoe helped me with guidance on the wedding day timeline so that we got the most out of our photography time. Josh helped us to loosen up, have a great time, and also came with a gameplan to ensure we got all tons of beautiful shots. We were also pleasantly surprised by how quickly our wedding photos came back to us too! We highly highly recommend Zoe Life Photography and we'll be future customers again anytime we need photography in the future! Thank you so much for the absolutely stunning photography!
Zoe Life Photo creates absolutely beautiful photos and has such an eye for light, joy, and beautiful moments. My husband and I booked the Associate Photographer, Josh, and he was ...
so wonderful. Josh somehow managed to shoot beautiful, romantic portraits of us in 98 degree, humid St. Louis weather - I'm still amazed! The photos are classic, but with a touch of bright and modern, just as we wanted. Josh also captured the moments we said were most important to us. I would recommend having two shooters there for the ceremony, especially if the church or venue has rules about where photographers can be during the ceremony. We hired a second photographer for an hour during our ceremony, and it was so worth it for the extra moments Josh and the second photographer were able to capture!
Zoe is wonderful to communicate with, also, and has a very in depth form to fill out that helps you plan and organize your wedding day and what photographs you highly value so that Zoe or Josh can work to capture those. I planned my own wedding, and Zoe's organization, questions, and attention to detail helped me plan things I forgot I needed to plan! In addition, Zoe edited our photos even though Josh took them, so our photos have the same beautiful Zoe Life editing we love.
Zoe Life Photography creates the most beautiful photos that truly reflected the joy of our wedding day, the people who came to celebrate with us, and the importance of our faith and the meaning of marriage, just as we wanted. They are both wonderful and I couldn't recommend their work more to you!
Zoe does beautiful work! She was a true professional and captured the vision for the wedding in all of the images. It was so special to see the day captured in her images. Zoe did ...
a great job communicating, asking about family photos, and keeping the day low stress! The photos of the wedding make the day even more special!
Zoe totally rocks. The photos she took of our May 4, 2019 wedding are out of this world gorgeous - we are having a ton of trouble deciding our favorites from the 1300+ gorgeous sho...
ts she took (a good problem to have). She was very pregnant and brought a second shooter and assistant to our wedding for free. Being pregnant didn't seem to slow her down at all, but we were so grateful to have the additional help. She is totally no-nonsense - she can take charge of a group and instructs everyone on how to stand and pose to look best, so the stress is completely taken away from the bridal party. And she is also so friendly and supportive as well. We would recommend Zoe 100%. (She also did our engagement photos which we absolutely love!)
