As seen in “Professional Wedding Photographer Zach Brake has a simple goal - he prides himself on ‘creating romantic art that will live through generations.’ He experiments on lights and shadows, as well as positive and negative space, to craft provoking photographs of spouses-to-be. And based on Zach’s portfolio, it’s clear he’s no stranger to using professional lighting equipment to devise profound visuals that tell a compelling story. We love his dreamy style, which is absolutely ideal for weddings.”

These photographs are soft, sacred, and powerful.

From “I do” to “we’re expecting” - being trusted to capture both is the deepest honor.

The Kenneys showed up glowing ✨

Documenting the moments that feel like you.
Not just poses, but the way my bride and groom laughed, leaned in, lit up the room.

I capture my couple’s day as it felt - honest, alive, and deeply personal. The in-between, the unplanned, the unforgettable. Because love deserves to be seen exactly as it is.

Even your wedding rehearsal day, as art.

The laughter, the way her curls caught the sun.. all photographed with artful intention.

This is what I love: effortless, editorial, and full of life.
