I place a profound emphasis on cultivating meaningful relationships with the couples that I have the honor of serving. I truly believe in the following:
I’m ZacH, an Iowa-based wedding and engagement photographer.
Relationships First. Photos SeCond.
I know being in front of the camera can feel daunting at times. This is where that relationship comes in! I'm not only your photographer, but I'm your friend too. Hyping you and your fiancé up and lightening the mood (or trying to) with corny jokes are my absolute go-tos to make you feel more comfortable.
Currently in my 8th year of capturing weddings, I am as fired up as I have ever been to capture all these amazing moments. Playing a small part in your "Best Day Ever" will never get old to me.

Guilty pleasure
After years of building alongside a full-time job, I made the decision to go all in on wedding photography — giving my couples my full focus, energy, and availability.
2025
My wife and got married on the most perfect late Summer day. I realized firsthand, that your wedding day goes by incredibly fast. I gained a new appreciation for capturing these moments.
2024
I quickly discovered that weddings weren’t about perfect photos, but about connection, emotion, and being present for people.
2018
I signed up for a photography class in my first college semester on a whim. I seem to have had a camera in my hand ever since.
2015
The best photos come from real connection and real moments, not perfection. Your gallery will tell the full story of your day...the quiet moments, the beautiful chaos, and everything in between.
Wedding days are emotional, exciting, and sometimes a little unpredictable. When things run behind or nerves kick in, I stay steady. I’m not easily rattled, I’m always thinking a few steps ahead, and I focus on keeping the day feeling good, not just looking good.
Your wedding isn’t just about the two of you. it’s about the people who raised you, support you, and show up for you. I take the time to connect with them as well, earn their trust, and photograph them in a way that feels natural and genuine.
