" We absolutely loved working with Zak from Zela Films for our wedding. From the start, Zak brought incredible energy, professionalism, and a sharp creative eye that made us feel like we were in the best hands. He came in with high vibes and immediately matched the joy and excitement of the day—it felt like he was genuinely excited to be there, not just capturing a job but celebrating with us.
He really understood our aesthetic and brought it to life with so much care and intention. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would recommend Zak a thousand times over. "
" It can definitely be odd to remember you’re mic’ed/being filmed for an extended period but Zak makes you feel instantly at ease and comfortable. Your wedding day and weekend can be hectic and stressful. Zak was just a blast to be around and hang out with.
Zak went above and beyond for our weekend and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. If you’re looking for a sophisticated wedding video that lets the highlights of the day shine through look no further than Zela Films. Truly no notes other than hire them. "
" Working with Zak and his team at Zela Films was far beyond our expectations. We were thrilled to have Zela Films capture our day since it was evident that their work embodied the dramatics, emotions, passion and fun that make up each couple's wedding day.
Leading up to our wedding Zak was thorough and clearly communicated ways to capture our special day as well as ensuring our wedding video was unique to us and conveyed exactly who we are as couple. "
" We really enjoyed working with Zak, who was fantastic in his communications from the day we reached out to well after the wedding videos were delivered. We found his process to be very thorough - beforehand he really got to know us as a couple, our preferences, what elements were important to capture on the big day, shared helpful examples of his previous work to help us narrow down the vision for our wedding film, etc. On the day of, Zak and his team were professional, unobtrusive and a pleasure to work with. We never felt like our wedding was a photo or video shoot, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid.
We also strongly felt like Zak understood the very specific vision we had for our wedding and was able to seamlessly capture the essence of the day, from the feel we wanted to create for our guests to the design and florals that we spent so much time perfecting to the relationships we each hold with our friends, family and each other. "
" A few days after our wedding, while on our honeymoon we were sitting at a bar when Zak delivered our highlight reel. It was so good, I cried right on the spot. People said it was one of the best they'd ever seen. A few months later he delivered the rest, we saved the extended cut for our first anniversary, which was hard to do, but I am so glad we did.
We laughed, we cried, we smiled throughout the entire thing. You think you remember all of details of your wedding, then you see the film and realize how much you miss in the moment, or rather, you only recall your own perspective. Zak didn't miss a thing and we got to see the entire day from a complete different point of view. We will cherish these films forever. "
