Book Joel Zar Photography NOW

I don't even know where to begin with Joel. He was so professional from the beginning of my wedding day all the way till the end. He came early to my hotel and took the lead on instructing me and my bridesmaids on what to do. He was so kind and cheerful the entire time and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He was smiling the entire day which would make anyone immediately smile. I'm so happy I got to work with Joel on my wedding day. Not only was he a pleasure to have, his work truly speaks for itself. He has talent and you won't be disappointed at all! aHe truly is the best!!!
