the lady behind the lens
Some people were born for the dance floor—I was born to capture the emotion happening on it. My love affair with photography started young (imagine tiny Zoe, camera in hand at a Champaign, IL art exhibit!), but it was my own wedding that inspired me to dedicate my life to telling real stories through my lens.
Meet Zoe
My own wedding experience showed me couples deserve better: images that feel personal, fun, and authentically them. Now, every wedding I capture is a chance to ensure couples feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease.
As a wedding photographer, I bring that same intentional energy to every celebration—whether you’re saying “I do” in a garden, art gallery, or courthouse. I love working with couples planning weddings that reflect their unique style and story.

family time
Beyond capturing stunning memories, I’ll be right there—laughing with you, drying happy tears, and making sure your big day is as bubbly as the finest champagne. I'm the type of girl who never stops giggling and loves diving into the unique stories behind each couple I photograph. Because the best frames come from feeling comfortable, confident, and free to be yourself.
Originally from Champaign, IL, I found a sunny home in Sarasota with my soulmate, Jonathan, and our pup, Bourbon. After over a decade in Florida, we’re excited for more traveling —which means I get to bring wedding joy to couples in multiple states, including Florida and Georgia! (You may even catch me capturing weddings in Champaign!)
When I'm not capturing weddings, you’ll probably find me strolling through Universal or Disney (strictly ground-level fun—heights are a no from me 😅), hunting for treasures in antique shops, or cuddling Bourbon during a cozy evening at home.
Every image is hand-edited by me, highlighting warmth, depth, and true-to-life color. Every skin tone, beautifully captured—because representation matters. Plus, your gallery will include my signature filmy black-and-white edits for that perfect touch of vintage charm.

No matter who you love or how you choose to celebrate, I’ll capture the beauty that makes your story unforgettable. Representation matters, and I create an inclusive space where every couple—especially POC and LGBTQIA+ couples—feels fully seen, celebrated, and stunning.
