The most important thing for me for my wedding, excluding the fact that I was marrying the love of my life, was the photos. I cannot begin to explain how amazing Zahn is and how special it was to have him as my photographer.
Zahn is a true artist, but is also caring, courteous and an all around awesome guy to have at your wedding. He was so great to deal with, it felt like he was just another friend at the wedding, not some random guy I hired to take photos. He spent time before the wedding to get to know me and my fiancé, and made sure we were comfortable with his approach.
His photography was raw, honest, and captured the true story of the day. I didn't even notice him sneaking in and taking most of the photos!
I was in tears of joy when I looked through the photos, and I have absolutely no regrets hiring Zahn. I wish I could repeat the day just to see a new set of his photos!
He even followed my weird dress code, asking all of my guests to wear white!

Let me just start by saying, my husband (!) and I are both photographers, so we were very, very picky when it came to finding a wedding photographer. We stumbled upon Zahn’s website just as we were losing hope of ever finding someone whose style we liked, after trawling through hundreds of ordinary portfolios of cookie-cutter poses and muted colours. As soon as we started looking through Zahn’s images, we knew we’d struck gold. Finally, here were images that were bold, dynamic, and full of life! Shortly after, we skyped Zahn, and shared our vision for our crazy elopement – we were delighted that he was just as enthusiastic and involved as we were.
We’ve just received our wedding photos and wow, wow, wow! (Who’s cutting onions in here?!) They are stunning and even better than we ever expected. We have gone through them so many times, but we can’t stop going back again and again! Zahn, we can’t thank you enough for all your enthusiasm, patience, and support in making it all happen; for helping us navigate all the uncertainties that come with planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic; and for giving us incredible memories to last a lifetime!

We were fortunate enough to have Zahn as our wedding photographer and still can't believe our luck, he was a total legend! He managed to make us look amazing and through some wizardry he also captured exactly who we are as a couple. From our first chat over a beer, he really took the time to get to know us and we felt totally able to relax, laugh and be ourselves around him. I think what we love the most is that he got all the beautiful elegant photos you expect from a wedding day, but alongside them there are these incredible photos of really honest and raw moments from throughout the day. The pure joy of us being silly with our friends on the dance floor with our noses all wrinkled from laughing, my dad getting nervous and blubbering his lines, a sunset shot of us at the top of a mountain, through to my maid of honour helping me wipe tears from my cheeks after walking down the aisle. The photos really take us back to how we felt and who we were on our best day and we couldn't be happier! We are a bit overwhelmed to be honest, there are just SO many incredible photos.

I have worked with Zahn for many years in the industry & have recently had him shoot our own wedding in Rotorua which was one of the best decisions we made. You can tell how experienced Zahn is by how relaxed he is on the day, all whilst taking control of what needed to be done. He fitted in so well with both the guys and gals and made us all feel comfortable in what is generally an awkward situation :D
The photos are incredible and I will continue to recommend Zahn to clients, family & friends!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Zahn as our wedding photographer. He was beyond amazing and captured many truly beautiful moments. He was very calm, professional and had a great sense of humor too, which put us both at ease. He is so down-to-earth and relaxed, which provides such a great vibe to have on your wedding day! It was such a breeze getting our photos taken, and he really added to the enjoyment of our day. For a lot of the photos, we didn't even notice he was right there. He is truly great at what he does and I highly recommend him. Thank you so much, Zahn. You're a superstar!!

Zahn was amazing as our wedding photographer, he went above and beyond and stayed a lot later than we expected and produced a huge number of wonderful photos. He captured lots of unique view points and interesting shots and it was a dream to look back over them after the wedding. I was on the fence about getting a photographer - so thankful that Zahn was recommended and free on the day as the photos are such a treasure.

Zahn was absolutely incredible from the get go. He puts in so much effort, and it really shows in his photos. We chose him for his skills and creativity, what we didn’t expect was how comfortable he makes you feel. We absolutely Cannot recommend him enough.

For the best day of your life, you want the best of everything and we definitely got that with our photographer! It was an absolute pleasure and joy to have Zahn and his colleague Ofri with us on our wedding day. They both brought passion, experience and enthusiasm to our wedding day photography. Zahn and Ofri arrived early to capture the many candid and happy moments of both my bride and myself getting ready with our close friends and family and stayed with us until long after the first dance.
To say we are happy with the service, professionalism and outcome of Zahn's photography would be an understatement and my wife and i would highly recommend Zahn to anyone who wants the very best out of their wedding day photography!
Thanks and Best Wishes. Glen.

Zahn captured our wedding in April so beautifully! Although we wanted some family photos and ‘posed’ shots what we were keen on the most was candid snaps throughout the whole day, and Zahn absolutely nailed both. He was a dream to work with and really added to the enjoyment of our day. Post-wedding we received a gallery of stunning photos that we were beyond stoked with – would definitely recommend!

We celebrated our wedding on October 13th 2018 in Hawkes Bay New Zealand.
Zahn along with his beautiful partner Amber captured the most incredible photos of such a memorable day one that will stay with both my husband Ben and I forever.
Zahn’s artistic flare and passion for creating stunning moments in time is what intrigued me from the beginning his Instagram and portfolio was simply mesmerising each photo remarkable in their own way.
Zahn connected with our dreams for the day so intuitively, he and Amber added such a soft relaxed vibe throughout the day which made it even more special. They were both so committed to ensuring the quality in everything they did with no stress at all.
We are so thankful to you both for making our wedding such a dream come true, and for being so beautiful in your approach.

Anisa and I had the pleasure of Zahn shooting our wedding earlier this year and wow what an excellent experience, he not only managed to make the day seem less and take amazing shots for our memory bank but was able to came the wife down when she started to stress which is not an easy thing to do haha!
Would 100% recommend.

Zahn, thank you SO much for taking our wedding photos. Joel and I were so pleased with your photography skills and quality of photos. You use the light from the sun to take magnificent photos. Not only are the photos that you take are amazing but you also capture a moment without us even knowing. Smiles, happiness, crying expressions and dancing – these moments are so special, and they will bring us back to our big day. So, thank you again, Zahn. We highly recommend Zahn to any people who are looking for a fantastic photographer.

My husband and I have worked with Zahn a couple times, and will always continue to choose him to capture our most special occasions. We *both* cried tears of joy when we saw our wedding photos for the first time and he always seems to capture the most INCREDIBLE moments. We love his work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer that captures magic, adventure, and emotion. He's the best in the business!!

From start to finish, Zahn was a dream to work with. During our first Skype call, his friendly and professional manner put us at ease, and we felt confident that we were in capable hands – even from the other side of the world! When we met in person, we were again impressed by his professionalism and proactiveness in helping us to plan photos and select locations for our special day.
On our wedding day, Zahn was everything we hoped for in a photographer. He fitted in perfectly and captured truly special moments that reflected the essence of the day. When we received our highlights clip a few days after the wedding, we couldn’t stop watching it – the photos were beautiful and it was like reliving our wedding day over and over again. Absolute magic. Thank you Zahn!
