ABOUT
At Z Studios, we’re more than just photographers and filmmakers—we’re a couple who genuinely loves documenting love stories.
Founded by us, Zane and Elie, Z Studios was built from a shared passion for storytelling, creativity, and preserving meaningful moments. As an engaged couple ourselves, we understand just how special these milestones are and the importance of having them captured in a way that feels authentic, timeless, and true to you.
Based in Australia, we proudly service weddings, engagements, proposals, and celebrations across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, with the flexibility to travel wherever your story takes us. We are also available for destination weddings throughout New Zealand and beyond.
Our approach combines modern editorial imagery, cinematic filmmaking, and documentary storytelling to create photographs and films that not only look beautiful but feel meaningful. We take the time to get to know each couple, understand their vision, and document their day naturally capturing both the grand moments and the quiet in-between memories you'll cherish for years to come.
Whether you're planning an intimate registry wedding, a destination celebration, or a full-day wedding experience, we'd be honoured to tell your story. We can't wait to meet you and create something beautiful together.

Elie SB
Co-Founder & Lead Photographer
Elie is the creative eye behind Z Studios. With a passion for storytelling and an appreciation for timeless imagery, she approaches every wedding with a blend of editorial artistry and documentary authenticity.
Her work focuses on capturing genuine emotions, meaningful details, and the unique atmosphere of each celebration. Drawing inspiration from architecture, travel, fashion, and human connection, Elie creates photographs that feel elegant, intentional, and deeply personal.
Whether documenting an intimate elopement, a registry wedding, or a full-day celebration, her goal remains the same: to create imagery that transports couples back to exactly how their day felt.
"The most beautiful photographs are not just seen—they are felt."
Zane
Co-Founder & Lead Videographer
Zane leads the cinematic vision of Z Studios, transforming fleeting moments into films that can be relived for generations.
With a storytelling-first approach, he focuses on preserving the movement, emotion, and atmosphere that photographs alone cannot capture. From heartfelt vows and quiet exchanges to the energy of the celebration, every film is crafted to reflect the unique personality of each couple.
His style combines modern cinematography with authentic storytelling, creating wedding films that are timeless, elegant, and emotionally resonant.
"Every wedding has a story. My role is to tell it through film."
