"Zachary was wonderful. I didn't make the project urgent, but he still had it back to me in 24 hours. He addressed every issue I had, and rewrote a whole new agreement for me addressing not only my own concerns, but other things to protect me as well. I asked him for a call to go over the contract, so that I could understand exactly what was being said, and he took the time to go over everything with me until I did understand it. I would absolutely recommend Zachary for your wedding photography contract needs."
