Steve Z Photography’s Summary

I am a prolific photographer. Check out my portfolio websites for my best work. For my most current stuff - check out my blog. I keep it updated a couple times a week with my most recent pictures and ramblings.

Wedding Photography - Creative, modern, and artistic wedding photography. Photography is my creative expression coupled with an engineer's technical mastery. But beyond the photography, I have a special talent for connecting with people and bringing out their best while in front of the camera. I know it sounds cheesy, but I place a tremendous value on customer service, and will treat every wedding as if it was my own.

Corporate Event Photography - I shoot many events for Integrated Alliances and Club Entrepreneur. I enjoy creative Environmental Portraits and Headshots. It is my mission to rid the world of those putrid corporate headshots shot in front of a blue background!

Portraits and Family Photography - On location, in the studio, or in the home, I will put you at ease by cracking jokes and connecting with you. Who do you want to portray in your photo?

Fashion Photography - I am experienced in model and portfolio shoots, on location and in the studio.

Product Photography - Products, models, on location, and in the studio.
