  We booked Ziva through Fiona Image, which is an exceedingly affordable and transparent option for finding wedding photographers. She was prompt - both in terms of response to communication, and her arrival time on the wedding day. Our wedding was intimate and relaxed, and I really wanted to avoid the stiffness that accompanies a lot of traditional wedding photography. I was also a bit nervous because our venue was indoors with not-great lighting, and there wasn't anywhere good for outdoor photography. Fortunately, Ziva understood exactly what we wanted. She had great instincts for arranging interesting family photos, and gamely honored any impromptu requests (including a re-creation of a photo taken with friends in college!). She was incredibly stealthy throughout the night - I mostly didn't even notice her! (This is definitely a compliment for a wedding photographer, strange as it sounds.) The photos are beautiful, and really capture the spirit of the event. We even asked her after the fact for any dancing photos that she might have excluded because we looked ridiculous, and she sent them right over in Dropbox. I'd recommend her to anyone!

  Ziva is simply the best. She is super professional and organized. We had some specific thoughts and ideas for pictures and she got them all. She took 780 pictures at our wedding, and everyone of them were awesome. She was so fast, that we were able to start enjoying them online during our honeymoon. The CD's arrived less than 2 weeks after our wedding and our family and friends love them. Make a great decision in your wedding planning process and hire Ziva.

  Ziva is so flexible, responds in a timely manner. I mean throughout we mostly communicated through email and I think she is very responsive. We got all the shots we wanted. She is also very organized and knows what she's doing. About a week before my wedding I gave her a list of people who we wanted to take pictures with. On the day of, after the ceremony it was just crazy because there are guests that are still by d ceremony area, chit-chatting and not all of them are in the list that me and my husband gave. So that leaves us (actually her) with looking for people that are in the list. But Ziva was on top of it all...I honestly didnt know what to do because I didnt think of that when I made the list. So watching her gather up the people in my list just just made me totally amazed on how great and awesome she was doing. Not only that; the pictures came out very good! We highly recommend her! And would use her service again!

  Ziva was such a great photographer!!! She was extremely flexible when it rained on our wedding day and our helicopter ride from Long Beach to Catalina was delayed by two hours. She was willing to come back the next day or come with us that day and spend the night on Catalina Island. She was very professional and creative and so easy to work with! It definitely made our day so much better to have such a warm and wonderful person to work with.

  All of our pictures turned out so great! Ziva was so easy to work with and you can tell she really wants to get you the pictures you want. My pictures were online and ready to view only a couple of days after the wedding. She is very professional and personable. Also she was always easy to get in touch with. She was very quick with any editing or cropping I wanted done to the photo's. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a photographer.

  Ziva made our day so special. She knew we were on some serious time constraints and she totally managed to get all the pictures we asked for. She is extremely professional and knows how to keep everyone in line!
  We really enjoyed having Ziva as our photographer and cannot wait until the next time we need a photographer - because we want ZIVA!

  I cannot say enough good things about Ziva. She made our day memorable, and her sweet, humble demeanor was a treasure. Our pictures turned out glorious, more than we could have ever dreamed for.

  Ziva was not only professional but she listened to everything that my fience and I wanted. The pictures came out perfect and she was not intrusive at all. We were both very impressed and we had a lot of comments from our friends and family. I know she will have at least two more weddings to photograph from our group of friends alone. I highly recomend Ziva, she is by far one of the best in her field. We give her 5 stars hands down.

  Ziva has an incedible eye for photography. Composition and framing come instinctively to her. Her technical precision and natural talent clearly dilineate her from the average professional photographer. In other words we love the pictures she took so much they hang on our walls and above our fireplace not as pictures alone, but as works of art. We highly recommend her.
