Every wedding is approached with care and intention. We thoughtfully assign photographers based on each celebration's location, requirements, and creative vision, ensuring a personalised experience that reflects the Z Studios aesthetic.

Meet The Team

Meet Our Founders

Z Studios was founded by Elie and Zane, whose shared love for photography began with their own engagement at the iconic Sydney Opera House. What started as a personal passion grew into a creative studio dedicated to capturing love stories with artistry, authenticity, and intention.

​

Today, Elie leads Z Studios as Creative Director, while Zane oversees the business as Operations Director. Although they occasionally step behind the camera to capture weddings themselves, their focus is now on guiding the studio’s creative vision and delivering an exceptional experience for every couple.
