 When we got engaged, I reached out to them because they had photographed numerous of our friends' engagements, weddings and families throughout the years. We loved their style, editing and the personal aspect that we felt when we looked at their photos. They are very genuine and really help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially for those (like us) who are awkward when it comes to taking photos. They were so helpful when planning outfits and ideas, went out of their way to learn about us as a couple, and even dealt with our goofy dog during our engagement shoot. We cannot wait to work with them for our wedding in June of 2023!

"Stephanie + Miranda at Z&Ko. are truly the best!"

Our photos this summer turned out better than we could have imagined! With two girls under 2 we weren’t sure how many usable photos we’d get, but let me tell you we had so many beautiful photos that were so natural and candid! My husband shed a tear after getting out sneak peek! Stephanie and Miranda are so kind and make the session so enjoyable! We can’t wait till next time!

"WE LOVE Z&KO!"

A true delight to work with. They were our partners in crime during a monumental moment in our lives. We did not have much experience being professionally photographed, but Z&Ko. made us feel comfortable, confident, and they even made sure we had fun. We will forever be grateful for our beautiful engagement and wedding photos. We highly recommend them and will definitely be working with them in the future. Thank you for capturing our special day and making it even more special!

"Z&KO. WAS A DREAM."

I was referred to Z & Ko through friends who used them for their wedding and had a wonderful experience. We decided to get some family pictures taken by them. Miranda and Stephanie were amazing! They first picked most beautiful location in the forest preserve to take the pictures. They made great suggestions throughout and were easy to communicate with. Miranda and Stephanie were very patient with my dog and even held treats for us to be sure to get the perfect shots. It was more like working with friends than total strangers. The final pictures turned out better than I could expect! I would 100% recommend them for any occasion.
