We had our destination wedding in Cancun and Zev was our photographer. We met A LOT of photographers and Zev strike us the most. It's given that everyone has good skills in photography, but not everyone will have a very personable and energetic personality like him. Zev has it and he is a people person - no dull moments with this guy! Our guests loved him too. We never regret choosing Zev. He did an AMAZING job in capturing our special day. We loved all of his creative shots from engagement photoshoot, to the actual wedding. Zev is very flexible - we have some request shots and these are all accommodated. I will not forget when he agreed to wake up before 5 am just to catch the sunrise. The photos were spectacular! In terms of price, Zev charges reasonably and affordably. Our photos and our experiences with Zev is super worth it, it's more than what we paid for. Services with Zev comes with long-lasting friendship, and he never fails to connect even after the event. ZEV IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

The Absolute Best
Zev was recommended to me and I have recommended him to everyone. He's fun to work with, has great ideas, listens to all requests, and is excellent value for what you get. He's supportive all the way through, even with advice on other wedding planning items and after the event as well.

Loved Zev!
Zev was recommended to us by a friend who modelled for him for events. He was amazing! Made us feel super comfortable while shooting our engagement shoots and during the wedding. He had some creative ideas and he was very personable with not only us, but our guests too! He managed to capture this amazing group shot of our entire wedding party, friends and family after our ceremony and it’s a photo that I’ll forever cherish.
He captured all of our memorable moments during our wedding and we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. Thanks Zev!

Amazing!!!
Zev was incredible! He did our engagement photos and wedding day as part of his package. Our engagement photos were personalized as my hubby wanted to dress up as Batman. He allowed time for the "costume change" so we had both batman and reg photos. The wedding day he dedicated the entire day to us. Getting ready (both bride and groom) the ceremony, photos of the wedding party and just the couple, and the entire reception. We got more photos then we ever knew what to do with haha. Zev gave us instructions on how to pose (I don't know what I'm doing haha) and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We changed location multiple times and I could not be more thrilled with the perfect wedding pictures we have!!

Incredible photographer!
Zev is one of a kind! We have done numerous sessions with him. I would recommend him for anything you're looking for. From city looks to nature shoots to boudoir and to the best wedding photos, he is an expert on it all! He is very professional and I would highly recommend him.
My name is Zev and I'm the Photo-Artis behind the brand PhotoArt4U.
I'm based in Calgary since 2006, loving the mountains as our backyard here. I'm available also anywhere on the globe, depends on the details of your wedding/project. I love travelling so in case you're planning a destination wedding - I have special and exlusive offers for "bucket list" destinations.
Photography for me is a way of life. As much as I love my free and quality time, you will rarely find me without a camera...
I'm familiar with the "I love what I do" statements, but I believe that " I DO what I LOVE" is more discribing my styles of work, start to finish.
I'd love to hear from you and we're a good fit - I'd love to capture the story of your Big Day.
