We hired Stephen as our photographer for our one year wedding anniversary photoshoot in Paris in May 2022, and we could not be happier with our decision. Stephen was professional, friendly, funny, efficient, and effective. He was also very communicative and responsive, which was helpful since we were coming from the states. He speaks both English and French fluently which was extremely helpful throughout the day. Stephen suggested many beautiful locations and provided creative ways to work around the bustle of the city. In addition, he acted as a mini tour guide during our photoshoot which was a pleasant surprise. Stephen's photos skills proved to be as great as he is. We love that he provided us with ALL of the pictures including candids, and provided them all in both color and black & white. We are smitten with the final products and can't recommend Stephen Zezza more. Thanks again Stephen for such a magical day! read more

We hired Stephen to do some family photos while on a family vacation in Paris. Even before the meeting we were in touch and Stephen was really kind. On the day we scheduled it was very cloudy and Stephen suggested postponing the shoot to a sunnier day. We arrived to the Eiffel Tower early in the morning and there was a really good atmosphere, some of the children did not want to be photographed at first, but thanks to the good chemistry that was created, everyone joined. We didn't notice how time passed and we got one of the fun experiences of the trip and also a great family souvenir. In addition, lovely and high-quality photos also came out, and we highly recommend! read more

We worked with Stephen for some couples photos during our first trip to Paris. He was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Stephen gave us direction, made us feel super comfortable, and we are in love with his photos. He was able to control crowds around the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Arc de Triumph so that we felt like we were the only people in Paris during the shoot. He also gave us some tips on neighborhoods and other dwellings to catch during our time with him. Top notch experience with an amazing and extremely professional photographer. We highly recommend him and plan on doing another photo shoot in Paris with him once we can bring our family! read more

Stephen was our photographer for our Paris Wedding. Stephen took us to some great locations and captured some amazing shots with some of Paris' most beautiful historic landmarks. Whether holding traffic on a busy side street, to getting a great shot in the middle of the Arc de Triomphe round-about we had a fabulous time during our shoot. Additionally, Stephen speaks fluent English. These were just the sneak peeks. Stephen is probably the best photographer we have ever worked with and we highly recommend him for your Paris photo shoot. read more

Stephen Zezza - Thank you Steven. Your craft and professionalism are much appreciated - Event Photography Near Me - Paris, 75

My husband and I were traveling to Paris and Rome for our 5 year anniversary/ baby moon and wanted to take photos to announce our rainbow baby. We recently lost our first born and wanted a specific photo for our announcement and he captured it perfectly! Stephen was very helpful, prompt and personable. He even tried to help with balloon props that unfortunately didn't work out (too expensive!!). His services are VERY affordable and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I highly recommend Stephen. I am very hard to please kind of customer when it comes to photos since I've an experience shooting with many pro photographers all my life but he is one of my fav photographers. He is easy to talk to, punctual, patient & really professional. He took his time to shoot our photo until we are happy & also gave us enough time to get in the mood without pressure. I hope to shoot with him again in the future. Thank you Stephen for shooting our lovely wedding anniversary photos. read more

Stephen was the most gifted and intuitive photographer for our family event in Paris in June 2023. He was so unobtrusive many family members did not even know they were being photographed, which resulted in some really excellent candid shots. For the formal portraits, Stephen did an amazing job finding good lighting, flattering angles, and picturesque spots. He is friendly, easy going, knows what to do without being told, and handles himself extremely professionally at formal events (such as a formal family wedding dinner). He is also extremely talented at photo editing. Overall, Stephen is an absolutely fantastic photographer with a keen eye and a very low key presence. I would highly recommend him for any event- formal or informal - in the Paris area. read more

Stephen is THE best. We cannot thank him enough for capturing our last-minute engagement shoot. We were engaged on a Wednesday night, I reached out to Stephen on Thursday morning, and by Friday at 7AM, we were shooting in front of the Eiffel Tower at Trocadéro Square before flying back to the U.S. on Saturday! He was so patient and thorough in all his e-mails, providing recommendations for locations and outfits. He delivered 300+ photos for us a few weeks later, and we are so thrilled with how they turned out. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera even though it was super windy and we had very little time to research poses beforehand. Thank you, Stephen, for capturing our special memories of a lifetime in Paris! read more

Stephen brought us to many places around Paris to take photos and document our 10 year anniversary trip. He not only took our photos but told us the history of the buildings in Paris. He was very passionate about the town he loved and made us love it too. We are so happy with the photos as we didn't get many photos ourselves with the two of us other then selfies :) It was an amazing experience we wont ever forget and because of you we have amazing photos to share with our family, friends and print out for our home. Definitely would recommend him for documenting your time in Paris. its worth it! read more

When you are traveling to a different country and need to plan a pretty important thing, ie: engagement photos, it helps to have someone who can communicate well. Stephen, from the start was very quick with his email responses. This is very reassuring, when you are booking something many miles away. Once, we had discussed the pricing and logistics, I felt very comfortable putting a down payment via paypal. He gave us his viber number and texted back and forth a few times. After, arriving in Paris, I sent him a few follow up texts to confirm and still very responsive, which kept me confident. On the day of our shoot, the weather was awful, rainy, windy, and cold. But Stephen assured us we were still confirmed. He showed up at the destination on time and brought 2 beautiful umbrellas to use as props/protect from elements. He knows his city, and the shoot went smoothly. About a week later, we received the images and were quite happy with the results, with the weather/day we had. Even though the elements did not cooperate, he made the best of the situation and the results were good. His prices are affordable and fair and best of all he is from the USA, so his English is fluent, which makes everything easier. read more

Holy Moly! Don't look any further if Stephen is available, you should definitely book him. I reached out to him totally last minute (like the night before) and he happened to have a few hours free to meet us for 2 hours. He provided a good amount of information during our exchange and was very reasonable and accommodated our request to shoot in Paris gardens. Upon meeting Stephen, what comes through is an easygoing, patient, friendly, professional who served as both our photographer and tour guide. He was really good about positioning us for the best shots and the end result was really incredible. We received a few hundred photos in black and white as well as in color about a week and a half after our shoot. Honestly, I am going to have a hard time figuring out which ones are my favorites there are so many! I posted four of them here, but there were dozens that we will enjoy for ever. We lucked out with the weather and Stephen's suggestion to take Uber across town allowed us to get dozens shots at 3 different locations. We enjoyed his knowledge of history and trivia at the various locations as well as his funny stories. It was nice to connect with a fellow New Yorker as well. Overall, a really positive experience and one we would highly recommend to friends and family. One thing to note is that he prefers cash and will send you a link to download the photos once they are ready. Bravo, and thank you Stephen! read more

My best friend just proposed to his girlfriend in Paris, I couldn't believe the pictures he sent back home. I don't know what words to use to describe this photographer. Here are a couple words us New Yorkers use to describe talent: (BEAST, GODS GIFT, FREAK OF NATURE, THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF PHOTOGRAPHY). Stephen Zezza you my friend have a talent that's unmatched. Thank you from NYC. read more

A Five Star Rating is Too Low!!!! Stephen came as a part of our Love Gracefully elopement to Paris package. My fiancé and I had had no contact with Stephen prior to the day of our nuptials (10/9/17), but upon meeting Stephen, it felt as if we had known him for a lifetime. Stephen's warm, caring nature made us feel instantly at ease during one of the biggest moments of our lives together! We didn't have a chance to discuss plans or strategies with Stephen, we just followed his lead. Stephen shot our nuptials alongside the River Seine behind Notre Damn from every angle. After the ceremony, Stephen (and our hired driver who had an awesome old-time car) took us to romantic sites around Paris. Stephen had us do fun and romantic poses in front of various landmarks. The whole time, my husband and I felt like Stephen was truly capturing who we are as a couple! When our photos arrived (via email) from Stephen, we could not have been more pleased!!! Stephen absolutely captured who we are as a couple. His photos of our special day are amazing!!!! Our friends and family have paid our photographer (Stephen) so many compliments. They all love the romantic look of his beautiful photos. Currently, my husband and I are pouring through over a hundred amazing photos trying to narrow down which ones we want to print to have framed! Thank you so much Stephen! If we could go above 5 stars, we would! read more

Stephen Zezza - One of my favorite pictures from Stephen!!! - Event Photography Near Me - Paris, 75

From the moment I got in contact with Stephen I knew it was going to be great working with him. For starters, coincidentally we are from the same country, state AND borough. Secondly, he was so helpful and answered every question I had (there were tons.)Thirdly, the prices he offered for his services were better than most, and lastly, his work is just amazing. Fast forward to our session and it was better than I thought it'd be. He was so confident in his work which made us feel at ease during the whole session. We have a toddler and I was so anxious about the photo shoot with him, yet somehow Stephen made that anxiety go away. I can write a whole essay about how good his work is and how amazing HE is! I loved loved loved this photo shoot. read more

Amazing photos! He photographed us in all these amazing locations in a short amount of time. Stephen also works with amazing taxi driver who owns those cute vintage vehicles. It's definitely worth it if you have a budget and you want to hit some amazing locations at the same time. As well as taking us to these great locations he was very professional and easy to communicate with. Along with his high quality images he offers a very competitive price! What was also nice about the photo-shoot was how relaxing he was and give us a mini tour and history of the city. I love our photos and I would highly recommend working with Stephen! read more

I'm not sure where to begin. My boyfriend surprised me with a proposal at 6:30am at Trocedaru overlooking the Eiffel Tower. He hired Stephen to capture our moment and he couldn't have picked a better guy! Not only is Stephen one of the most talented photographers I have ever met, but he is one of the best people you will ever meet as well. Within the first few minutes I met Stephen (my FIANCÉ! as well as they had only talked via email before this day) we felt like we had known him forever. He fit perfectly into our moment and made it even more enjoyable. He was so easy to work with and knew all the best spots! Really made us both feel so comfortable. I wish there were better words to fully describe his talent, professionalism, and charm but I am just left speechless and grateful to have had him capture the most exciting moment of my life! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything Stephen, we love you!! Ps: added bonus, Stephen knows awesome history about Paris and all the best spots to eat! We ate at 2 places he suggested after we finished our photos! He truly made our day!! read more

Stephen Zezza - Thank you, Stephen!! - Event Photography Near Me - Paris, 75

This man is amazing! I was searching on Yelp for someone to take engagement pictures for us. Stephen responded quickly to my e-mail, sent me additional pictures from his portfolio and the rest is history as documented by Stephen in the great pictures. Born in New York, Stephen's English is fantastic. Although, this is obviously not a requirement in Paris it made communicating with him very easy. He's obviously shot all over Paris multiple times so he was able to direct us where to go, what time to be there, and was very accommodating to any requests that we had. I would definitely recommend contacting him early so that you can get a sunrise shoot on a Sunday as it was very empty in most of Paris. You can judge for yourself Stephen's skills, but we have had nothing but great compliments. If Stephen was in America for our wedding I'd hire him to take those pictures too. Thank you once again for everything, I cannot recommend him highly enough.. read more

Stephen was absolutely amazing!! I decided to reach to him based on the reviews and photographs. Stephen replied very quickly and was very accommodating. Once we arrived in Paris, he reached out to confirm. Stephen has great ideas for photos and shared a lot of knowledge about the city while we went to other locations. After all the photos were taken, he sent the finals within days and he sent sooooo many great photos. Overall he was exceptional as his photographs were as well. I highly recommend him!! read more

Before the photoshoot, he gave us the right tips to be prepared (kind of clothes, props, locations, etc). During the photoshoot, he made us feel very comfortable. He clicked our pictures at a variety of locations. He knows his way around Paris and is an excellent tour guide too ;) After the photoshoot, he shared the photos within a week, in black & white and color. The photos were fabulous. Overall, Stephen is a very friendly American chap, doing an amazing job as a photographer in Paris. I highly recommend hiring him for your next trip to Paris!! read more

If you want to have a photo shoot done on your trip in Paris, France you need to book Stephen. We had so much fun by the Eiffel Tower and our family was in awe of the shots we got. His work is not just great pictures. It captures personality, movement and emotion. He helps position you and knows the perfect angles to capture you And the architecture of Paris. My husband and I booked to commemorate our honeymoon and absolutely loved every picture. Stephen worked with me through email, met my price range, helped me with the location, my dress, the concepts, and gave a great recommendation for lunch at the end. Amazing!Definitely recommended and would book again! Love you Stephen! read more

Zezza is the way to go. We had the pleasure of working with Stephen during a short family holiday to Paris. Zezza is professional, kind, patient, friendly, and easy to work with. He suggested an early morning session at a beautiful spot overlooking the city. It was perfect. We love our images, and we have no hesitation in recommending Zezza for your photography needs. On top of the super photography services he provided for us, Stephen went above and beyond - by retrieving and shipping items that we left in Paris. He's our Parisian photographer, our new family friend, and our hero. read more

We decided to do our engagement shoot in Paris with Stephen, he was awesome!!! We did a one hour sunrise session and he took us to various locations around the Louvre. They were all beautiful and made for stunning, unique, classy and creative shots. I'm so glad we didn't do the traditional, overdone Eiffel Tower pictures. There are so many other beautiful locations Paris has to offer. He was efficient, knew what he was doing, and provided just the right amount of guidance. He has a laid back vibe that makes you feel at ease. Although he was efficient he didn't rush it and wasn't quick to punch out on the hour. He was a wealth of information about the city and filled us in on the history of the locations we were shooting at. He also gave us some awesome recommendations on where to have breakfast afterwards. We received our edited photos within a short time afterwards, it included over 260 photos in colour and black a white. We had done quite a bit of research and his rates are very reasonable in comparison to the competition. We highly recommend him as a photographer, he does not disappoint! We couldn't have anticipated how amazing our pictures would turn out! Couldn't be happier!! read more

I used Stephen for our private ceremony May 1 of this year. He is much more than just a "wedding photographer." He is a talented artist, sees the beauty in who he is photographing and were. I was drawn to his eye for Fashion photography, as I saw on his website, and my photos are literally breathtaking. I can not even choose a favorite because he photographed every moment so beautifully. I put our photos together into a video for my family and it brought every person to tears. On top of all his talent, he is so kind and helpful and competitively priced. It was a pleasure. read more

He was so professional and really let us be ourselves and have fun rather than forcing us to do certain poses. Each photo he sent to us was jaw dropping and is going to be a part of our wedding. I'm so glad we went with Stephen!!!! read more

Stephen was a fantastic choice for our small wedding ceremony in Paris. He was extremely kind and accommodating, and also provided planning suggestions where needed. He helped us choose ceremony and photo locations, arranged a private driver, and gave a great post-wedding lunch recommendation (Semilla). Payment was fairly easy - deposit via Paypal and the balance in cash when we met up in Paris. And most importantly, his pictures turned out great. Soon after the wedding day we received zip files of about 400 pictures in color, black and white, and sepia. While not every single one was a keeper, there were more than a few gems. If you're looking for an elopement style wedding in Paris, we highly recommend you choose Stephen. read more
