I want to tell your story by the emotion that’s found in your windswept hair and your dancing feet. The song you whisper to one another as you sway and laugh and feel absolutely silly. To storytell people, places and memories. All the the moments we take with us: raw + real.
I'm Zach, a Nashville based wedding photographer and videographer. I've lived all over the world from Sydney, Australia to Huntington Beach, CA storytelling every step. And I fell in love with my wife over our shared love of storytelling... so to say I'm passionate feels like an understatement.
​
I believe the 'mundane' is where there is beauty, and as my wife says: I lean into it like it's breath in my lungs. From our grocery runs, to my daughters first dip in her grandparents pool I'm always capturing it to remind us how these in between moments felt.
In my journey of over a decade of photography + videography that has taken me from London to Sydney to South Africa. I've discovered how to document heirlooms that make you feel. To capture more than just a photo or clip that makes you look good.
I believe the in between is where all the best moments live.
A LITTLE OF MY OWN LOVE STORY
Our first day dating, I took us to the CA poppy super bloom. Our first kiss was on the beach, stargazing. And we fell in love under the stars in Yosemite Valley, freezing cold and holding each other tight. Though, truly, my wife fell in love after 21 days (exactly). Every bit of our story has been exceedingly romantic, and almost all of it: off camera. Once married we started to truly value raw moments and the quiet that brings intimacy. The memories we love most are not seen or understood by other people and so we began to pursue capturing exactly that. It was our love and day to day that made me want to storytell in a way that would show our grandchildren how deeply in love we were. Now as a father I carry that heart even deeper into all of my work. I am passionate about making you feel. Reminding you of a fleeting memory and hoping it washes over you, bringing you back to that moment.

creating heirlooms for you and those you love
This film was made from old VHS footage of Nicole’s parents’ wedding — filmed decades ago, long before Weaver Media existed.
​
I restored the footage, converted it to digital, and shaped it into a highlight film using the same storytelling instincts we bring to weddings today. I didn’t shoot it. I simply honored it.
​
Now our daughter gets to see her grandparents on their wedding day.
​
This is our why. Our heart behind the brand. We believe wedding films should be made to last — not just for today, not just for social media but for generations who haven’t even been born yet.
