Meredith and her team are the best in the business! From the start Meredith was so accommodating and helpful in getting us the best wedding photography package. We had our engageme...
nt shoot with her and it was so much fun! She brings such a great attitude and genuinely enjoys her work and making our day the best for us. She helped us with our timeline and even accommodated last minute changes. She was great with our nieces and families the day of and the pictures are breathtaking. We can’t thank her enough for documenting our wedding and forever enshrining these memories.
A friend recommended Zoom Theory photography and we are so happy we chose them! Meredith definitely knows what she’s doing, is kind and professional. She ensured she directed our s...
mall wedding party and guests in order to capture our day in the best way possible - we didn’t have a wedding coordinator and aside from being a great photographer she kept things on time and organized. We were trying to keep a low budget for our small wedding overall and I’m really glad photography is something we tried not to skimp as much on because the photos came out incredible. I highly recommend Meredith and her team!
Meredith and her team were absolutely incredible! They captured such beautiful moments at our wedding, especially when working with our 8 month old daughter who was not used to hav...
ing her photo taken :) All of the photographers were professional and incredibly kind and made everyone feel very comfortable. Meredith was a total delight- she helped build a great day of timeline to make sure we got great photos while maximizing the time with our guests. Would absolutely recommend Zoom Photography for weddings!

ing of the process - booking - to the final photo we feel so supported and listened to. She captured our event perfectly and made me want to go right back to the day. We are thrilled with the end result! Thank you!

edding which was inside. Great outdoor photographer but wouldn't recommend for an indoor wedding.
Ive had the pleasure of working with them a few times, which is rare to say given the many weddings I DJ across SoCal. Meredith and her team have an eye for capturing both "before ...
and during" wedding moments that I haven't seen other photographers think to do. It really shows that this is Meredith's expertise. We work hand in hand to create great memories. Honored to call her a Wedding Friendor.
Meredith is the most incredible photographer! She gives just the right amount of direction and is an artist in her photography skills ! I could not have been more happy with my pic...
tures!
Where to begin?! Meredith was a breeze to plan with, she asked all the right questions and had it all figured out in 30 minutes flat, she was so easy when I changed my mind a milli...
on times about location and was such a great communicator! The day of almost brings tears to my eyes. My husband and I struggle with photos, we don't love taking them, and I get nervous and uncomfortable. Not to mention there were several 2-5 year olds running around and distracted friends and family who would not hold still. Amongst all this chaos Meredith and her team were upbeat, enthusiastic and so engaging! We were like herding cats and she made it look easy. I think my family was ready to adopt her by the end and she was almost like having a second coordinator with keeping us on the timeline and moving. Now for the photos... They absolutely exceeded my expectations, they are beautiful and artistic and so natural, she made me look photogenic when I am absolutely not. My husband (who was slightly cranky at the volume of photos) is also absolutely ecstatic and it was all so worth it. I can't say thank you enough times, and if you are at all nervous about your photography experience, as I was, this is the photographer for you.
Zoomtheory was absolutely amazing! We worked mostly with Meredith and even our family members have been talking about how great she was! With large or small groups she is very effi...
cient and spots the tiniest details. She was flexible with photos that included kids as they can be more difficult to work with. I would highly recommend!
Meredith was amazing! Took beautiful photos and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Highly recommend!!
We were lucky enough to have Meredith Gradishar and her team at Zoom Theory photograph our wedding at Madera Kitchen this July. Meredith was extremely accommodating and her photogr...
aphs are amazing. I ended up with so many photos and they are all wonderful it's hard to narrow them down to fit into a single wedding book. I also felt that Meredith took the time to get to know us as a couple and really captured the spirit of our wedding. I would highly recommend Zoom Theory for weddings or any occasion. Her portrait shots just blew me away!
Zoom Theory recently did my engagement and October wedding photos. They are absolutely amazing! This photographer's talent is out of this world. Her work is truly unique. She is pr...
ofessional and timely but more importantly she makes you feel comfortable and makes the process fun. It was a pleasure working with her!
I can't even begin to express how lucky I feel to have stumbled upon Zoom Theory Photography. I met Meredith at a wedding fair (where I won an engagement session with her!) and cou...
ld immediately tell that her personality and aesthetic was totally up my alley! Our engagement shoot was so much fun - Meredith was all for capturing us in our element, doing the things we love most - and our photos turned out amazingly! There was absolutely no question she had to shoot our wedding!! Beyond being amazingly talented, Meredith just makes you feel so comfortable and uninhibited and that makes for really beautiful photos! ;) Much to our surprise, she and Amanda turned our photos around way faster than we had anticipated and we could not be happier with the memories we have from our special day. Photos are such an important part of your wedding experience - there are so many moments that pass you by and to have those moments frozen in time - there to relive whenever you'd like - is something truly priceless! Thank you Meredith and Amanda for capturing lifelong memories!
Zoom Theory is the best! Meredith and Amanda make the perfect pair of phenomenal photography and creative,artistic editing. We have so many gorgeous photos to choose from and truly...
appreciated Meredith's efficient yet respectful work ethic with out large crazy family. Zoom Theory truly captures the personality and spirit of the couple and provides both portrait style photos and fun candids. Love them!
Zoom Theory is truly exceptional!! My husband has worked as an Art Director and was very particluar about the photographer we wanted to hire. We nailed it perfectly by hiring Zoo...
m Theory! I am still in awe of the work that they do, the pictures we have and their true professionalism through the whole process. They were always on top of things. Many times you can find a great creative, but not a great buisness person or vise versa. With Zoom Theory, they truly deliver both! During our engagement shoot, Meredith was wonderful at making us feel comfortbale to get great pics. We had a fun time too! That really helped set up our wedding day in workign with her. Meredith is trulu a genuine person and her work shows it. To be honest, I hate pictures and I love ours! You will absoultely be happy with choosing Zoom Theory as your photographer for any occassion.
Love her! Meredith took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She is creative, friendly, and comfortable to be around. We had our engagement session on the beach with our d...
og. She was patient with him and tried to get him to put of his ears up and run on the beach. She has an eye for things that would look great in photos. For the wedding she is very organized and keeps to a timeline which is great. She is also able to move that timeline around if things are not going to schedule. The girls were having issues with my corset so she went and took pictures of the guys and came back. She let me show her pictures I had found on pintrest and used them the day of the wedding, She asks for a list of shots that you would like taken at the wedding and ones you don’t want. She is great with kids and adults. She is worth every penny. I would use her again in a heartbeat.
I absolutely loved my wedding pictures! Meredith and her assistant captured all my wedding day memories perfectly! The pictures she takes are more than just pictures they are art. ...
She captures the theme of the day. I love Zoom Theory!
Not only will your pictures be very beautiful and unique you get to work with the most professional and sweetest photographer ever. Meredith is a dream. We already took the most ...
amazing engagement photos and I know the wedding photos will be even more fabulous. She really helped pull together a lot of chaos since my wedding planner was such an airhead. Love her!
