I am having the hardest time choosing just one for our Christmas card because they're all so good. She always makes our sessions feel easy and fun, even with kids in the mix, and takes such care to find the perfect lighting and spots. Beyond her incredible talent, she's just the kindest, most genuine person. You can tell she truly cares about the families she photographs. We're so grateful for her and can't wait for her to keep capturing our family for many more years to come.

My husband and I were overwhelmed by joy when we saw our wedding photos. I have never been photogenic and often felt uncomfortable getting my pictures taken but Greg and Stacy changed all of that. They became like family almost instantly. These amazing people are devoted , passionate and compassionate to their clients and their wants and needs. I can not put into words how incredible they are and how great full I am. I fully recommend Zook Studios 10/10 Thank you and hope to see you in the future!

I was looking to have professional photos of my sweet pup, and from the moment we arrived at their studio, I was so impressed at how welcoming they made my fur-baby feel. Their conveniently located Cornelius place is both an elegant gallery and studio with beautiful props and backgrounds that will ensure your photo session will result in amazing photos. Everyone knows pets can be unpredictable, shy and/or difficult when trying to get pictures of them, but Greg and Stacy literally bent over backwards to get fun images using their photography skills and experience with animals. We had so much fun during the photo session, and I did not feel rushed at all. You can tell they truly love animals and want to do all they can to get gorgeous and expressive images of your beloved pet. I was pleasantly surprised that within a few days after the photo session, they invited me back to their studio to select my favorites to order with them. They have many options for you to decide how you would like your selected portrait(s) displayed. When I received my pet's image on the mounted wall art, it was absolutely beautiful! The quality and detail are stunning, and I love seeing it hung up in my home! (I ordered their Italian glossy acyrlic wall art product). I can't recommend Zook Photo enough for anyone seeking timeless, heartwarming portraits of their furry companions! Of course, they also do not just do pet photo sessions- but have several other gorgeous pieces of their photographs displayed in their gallery, too-  from couples, to families, to capturing bucket list moments and more. Their talent, teamwork, and product quality will absolutely impress you, and you'll be so glad you used them to create portraits you'll cherish forever!

We hired Petra to shoot our engagement and wedding…read more We took engagement photos at the Jacksonville Landing and surrounding downtown area during a late afternoon/early evening. Petra was professional, creative and both Lauren and I felt at ease when she was directing us to get that perfect shot. Sometimes she just let us be ourselves which got us some really cool and spontaneous photos that we really loved. Our wedding took place at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church with reception 2 blocks from there at the main Jacksonville Public Library in downtown Jacksonville, FL. Petra was excellent throughout the whole process! Before the wedding we met few times to review the venues and to discuss the kind of photos that we're looking for. Petra listened well and provided professional feedback that helped us get some unique photos at both of these unique venues. During the wedding Petra and her assistant were able to capture all of the photos that we were looking for and more. Both of us and our families were very pleased with the resulting photos that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. If Petra can do such an outstanding job at a wedding, which is traditionally quite a difficult event to shoot, I'm sure that she will do an exceptional job during other photoshoots as well.

Whether it was Mal helping my wife while she was getting ready, or Alex helping close the tent walls during the reception and so much more. And none of that was their responsibility, but it certainly made a huge difference! We had so many people tell us just how awesome they were! When it comes to photography, Alex and Mal are hands down the best of the best. During engagement photos, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had the most creative ideas for what would make the best photos. The same goes for our wedding photos and video. All three of them were very punctual and organized on our wedding day. At times, I felt they were doing more to keep everything on schedule than our wedding planner. Just like the engagement photos, the wedding photos blew us away with how amazing they turned out. Alex and Mal will always be our go to photographers for any future family events or needs! If you are able to splurge a little, definitely have Alex partner with Jorge for the videography. You will not be disappointed, and every dollar will be worth it! The video was amazing and we watched it over and over again the first week of getting it. Thank you all so much for an amazing experience.

Ken is great at budgeting his time. After a wedding planning session, Ken created a customized…read moretimeline with our daughter & new son-in-law. He used his pre-wedding time to go back & forth between the Bride's and Groom's Rooms for photos. As the Mother of the Bride, Ken and I had a telephone conversation and he told me exactly what he needed ready to photograph as soon as he arrived on the wedding day. Having those items prepared helped him to stay on schedule and get all the pre-wedding pictures taken so that we started the wedding on time. Ken was very accommodating with special requests from both of the Mothers, because we wanted photos taken of our extended family groups. Ken had a prepared list of the extra photos that we wanted, and he methodically went down the list. The great thing was that we never felt rushed by Ken at any point during the entire day. Ken has a calm and friendly demeanor and it showed!! HIRE HIM... he'll do a great job for your wedding or special event too!

I unhesitatingly recommend Ken Thomas Photography! Ken's professionalism before, during, and after…read moreour May 2022 wedding has been exceptional. His attention to detail has been superb, and his talent is evident in our finished products. I'm thrilled with our photos, and I'm so thankful that I found such an accomplished professional for our special day. Way back in 2019, Ken met with me in person at his studio to discuss our expectations and to give me more information about his work. He impressed me as a delightful and extremely professional gentleman, and I liked him immediately. He also, during one of our visits, devised a detailed timeline for the events of our special day. That timeline proved invaluable in calming me on our wedding day and in keeping the festivities on schedule. All was nicely on track with all our wedding businesses, but due to the pandemic, we rescheduled our 2020 wedding. Ken was more than understanding and accommodating as I tried to come up with alternative dates. He was always a pleasure to speak with and even checked in with me from time to time to make sure we were still on schedule. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at our location in Marion County, South Carolina over an hour before the start time on our timeline, just to scope out the private home where our wedding was being held and to get an idea of photo locations. He was friendly and kind with everyone, both during photo sessions and at other times. He was fast and efficient in taking pictures, and his experience as a photographer showed as he quickly arranged us and our families in various great poses. My groom and I are both 60 years old, and he not only tried to make us feel more comfortable in posing - something that could have tried the patience of other folks - but also treated us just as he would a good-looking couple in their 20's. He made us feel special and was completely patient with his elderly bride and groom and our even-older guests. In addition to the posed photographs, he took great candid shots as well as many lovely photos of our outdoor ceremony. Since we didn't have a videographer, it was especially meaningful to me that I have photos of our vows and our walk down the aisle together. I received so many compliments from guests and family members, even before they saw the finished photos. Those in attendance noted that Ken was always available and busy taking photos throughout the evening and that he was unfailingly friendly. And then when they saw the nearly 500 photos - wow! I'm a technophobe, but Ken very patiently helped me with the online viewing of our pictures. He even emailed us a sneak-peek of around a hundred pictures less than a week after our wedding. The prints of all sizes are beautiful (despite the elderly subject matter!), and the lighting and color are perfect in each photo. When my two sons someday marry their girlfriends, I'd love to have Ken as the photographer. Even after all my wordy review, I can't think of a higher compliment than that!

Not only did Maryam provide everything I needed for the shoot (clothes, props, snacks, coffee, water) but she gave clear and productive direction. My toddler was present for the maternity shoot and I was so nervous that our pictures with him wouldn't turn out well because he was so impatient and restless, but somehow Maryam worked her magic and captured the most beautiful images. I did my newborn shoot just 2 weeks postpartum, on the inside I felt so uncomfortable having just given birth. I felt bloated and tired, and anything but beautiful but once again Maryam captured the most amazing images of my family. Not only would I use Maryam again but I would highly recommend her.

Four our engagement session she had great ideas for where and how to shoot our photos. Heather is so full of energy and an amazing person to be around, she made the engagement session so much fun. There aren't enough words to express how amazing her and her son Braeden were on our wedding day. On our wedding day, Heather sat down with me to schedule out the day and wanted to make sure she got any photos I specifically wanted. Heather also coordinated with our DJ and they worked so well together. Heather really makes the bride feel like she has her back and is there for her, but also making sure things run as smooth as possible. Heather's son Braeden was our second photographer and he is such a wonderful and talented young man. He didn't hesitate to get photos and video of the ceremony and reception. Heather and Braeden felt like family on our wedding day even though they were there to capture it. Both engagement and wedding photos came out amazing and we could not be happier with our experiences and photos. We highly recommend Heather and Braeden for any and every event you want to capture. We will be using Heather and Braeden to photograph all of our life moments.
