I had a 39 hour work day a few weeks ago. It started in Berkeley, California and ended here in Atlanta with not a wink of sleep on the plane. As some of you know, I enjoy shooting weddings with my dear friend and coleague, Marc Climie. Here are some images from our first Indian wedding. If I only shot Indian weddings for the rest of my life, I would be just fine with that. They are amazing events!
If you have come by looking for the white seamless tutorial, find those posts here. My step-father is suffering from ALS and it is in the advanced stages. We are dropping everything else we are doing and heading to NC to spend some time with him. I’ll be back online in a few days.
Here are some images from Purvee and Deven’s wedding. The fact that I got anything in focus on this wedding day is amazing! I was sooooo tired. At one point I twittered that I wished Starbucks delivered and my awesome and amazing girlfriend, Meghan, delivered a large dark cup of love to me while I was shooting the formals!
More after the jump.
You can see a HUGE preview slideshow of this wedding with both of our work here at Marc’s site.
Lastly, our family would appreciate your prayers as we spend our last bit of time with my step-father Craig. He’s an amazing man and it is so heartbreaking to see him go through such a horrible disease like ALS. I’ll post some portraits I have of him at some point.
Cheers,
Zack

Zack,
Great stuff as always. I keep up with you on the internet…never commented, but was compelled to tonight. I know the pain of seeing someone you love lose their life to ALS. My grandmother lost her fight in 1990. Enjoy your time with him. I’ll pray for all. I want to come visit in your new studio…I’d love to catch up with you.

Thank’s yall. And thank you Laurie for speaking out about ALS. You know this already. It is my first experience with something like this with someone so close to me. I have some blogging about this to do.
Cheers,
Zack
Zack,
You and your family are in my prayers. Times like these really let us know, how small everything else really is.
God Bless.

Indian weddings are amazing, aren’t they — colors, energy, vibrance – and so fun in how you captured all of it! I’m from India, so I have “been there, done that”…a true experience from both sides!
Love your work and your bio, too! (I could kinda’ relate…)
All the best to you & your family…
Take care,
Rupa
Hey zack, maybe write a little about your gear/technique for weddings, would totally kick ass.
Pretty late to respond but i hope your dad is well and doing. My best wishes are with you and your family
