Welcome to my page! I’m Zachariah, though I also go by Zach, a southern Ohio-based photographer with a passion for photography. Growing up near the Hocking Hills and Ohio's stretch of the Appalachian foothills, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty in the area. My love for the outdoors extends to my photography style, where I draw inspiration from nature; still moments, peace, and happiness. I approach each shoot with an eye for candid moments. Poses are great, but the smiles, laughs, hugs, tears, and truthfully, the embarrassing moments in between are the highlights.
As a wedding photographer, I aim to capture the day as it naturally unfolds. 'Documentary' style allows me to blend into the background, catching genuine moments that tell your unique story of your day. I believe photography can be used to let you remember the day as it was and how you remember it, and I’m drawn to images that convey warmth, connection, and family. 
Whether a family shoot or the wedding day, you can expect a relaxed atmosphere without a pushy process. Everyone knows that some photos have to be planned, but not always staged. "Walk that way and hold hands" is a prompt that allows you to be comfortable and be yourself. I love taking what I call "Asssisted Candids" when the light is just right. I strive to make photography a fun and relaxing time for both myself and my clients.
For the other photo enthusiasts out there, I'll tell you what I like to shoot with. I prefer longer focal ranges. Sometimes I think 50mm is wide angle. I make sure to capture the scene somewhere between 20 and 35mm, but my favorite way to tell stories is the closeups of relatives hugging, the tears at the altar, and the fun, awkward moments that people forget to remember.
Beyond weddings, I enjoy photographing families, wildlife, and landscapes. I drive my wife crazy by pulling over every five minutes for a shot when we're on vacation. When I'm not behind the camera, I’m out fishing, exploring new trails, or spending time with my kids. I believe that photography should feel natural and unforced, reflecting real moments that you experience. If you’re looking for a photographer who values both the art of storytelling and the charm of beautiful area, I’d be honored to work with you.


I'm local to several cities and counties including Ross, Jackson, Vinton, Athens, and Hocking.
Let's have fun and be creative!
