I would like to have words for every post that I post – but there are those times in your life where words don’t seem to describe. No words. Incredible. In the second poorest nation in the world, there was still so much joy. It was so good to be back.

Meredith Stone - Awesome awesome shots. I especially love the one with the girl beaming, carrying a baby on her back, and beautiful golden bokeh in the background. That should be a print.

Judy - Every photos you take here has a story, awesome, colors and life captivating. great Job Za,

Brad + Finn

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

It’s a joy for me to get to be a part of taking people pictures for their weddings. But when I am flown out of town to be a part of a wedding, I feel it an extra privilege. Brad and Finn were clearly meant for each other. After all, meeting in Australia and getting married in Florida in my mind is no easy feat. Yet they were calm and collected on their huge day. I LOVED working with them. Here’s a small bit from what happened. Shot graciously alongside of the great Josh Boston.

CRAZY. Definitely was a day where you get demolished by a wave…and continue to take pictures. It was crazy. It was fun. Probably my funnest sesh yet. Totally was a blast. This is what’s gonna hit ya. PS – I had to post more than that first image because I promised Joanna that people would at least know what she looks like from the preview. Boom.

Calvin + May

I had the grand opportunity to be a part of a wedding with two stupid good photographers, James Moes and Nirav Patel. Besides being wowed by their wowness, I was very grateful to be a part of Calvin and May’s special day. They were welcoming, and by far the easiest people on earth to photograph. And it helps that they are good looking. Just sayin’.
