Retirement Party•Reviewed on August 11, 2025•From Jersey City, NJ
We booked Ed of Zorz Studios to celebrate my husband's surprise retirement/birthday party. We then turned the surprise on our guests, and revealed that we had recently eloped. The party featured a live brass band and New Orleans style second line parade. Ed was able to capture the lively spirit of our celebration shooting both indoors and outdoors on the rooftop space of our condo building. He was communicative and collaborative during the entire process. Ed is a professional and talented photographer and the nicest guy. I would highly recommend for any event!
:
Thank you so much for trusting me with such a joyful and surprise-filled celebration! It was an absolute honor to capture your retirement, birthday, and elopement all in one, especially with that unforgettable brass band and rooftop parade. I'm grateful for your kind words and thrilled you love the photos!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 5, 2023•From Great Neck, NY
Worst birthday photographer we've ever had. The studio owner had lots of excuses for why, but at the end of the day, we have a beautiful birthday that was terribly photographed, and no time machine to go back and hire a different photographer.
:
We're sorry to learn you feel this way. You needed action shots, were happy with the photographer, and tipped him well... There was only one reason ("excuse"), as opposed to "lots", that we gave you. Being a kids' birthday, he took lots of photos, about 1,000 in two hours, and the nature of such events inevitably results in some images being imperfectly framed or even out of focus—the only problems you stated to us. You advised that in the past, you'd never received such images from other studios. Had we known that they affect your overall impression so negatively, we would have deleted them, leaving you with fewer action shots, and just a few hundred good photos.

YOU NEED TO BOOK ED! I can't express in words how amazing Ed is. His vision and creativity level are on a whole different level. I booked Ed as my Videographer for my multi-day Indian wedding and I cannot recommend him enough. He was a pleasure since our first phone call and was very easy to work with. He and my photography team worked really well together and they both were just a great team to work with. He's posted some reels from the wedding and I can't wait to see the final product. All our family and friends appreciated how friendly he is and how easy it was to work with him. BOOK HIM NOW!
:
My, my, my... I'm so touched by your words, Radhika! Thank you, you have my complete dedication! Will be in touch soon. :)

Very friendly, professional, and communicative. He made us feel comfortable and seemed as happy to be filming us as we were to be celebrating our big day. They shot great footage and the short video montage was great for sharing with family and friends. It was also great to have the raw footage to make our own video montage. I would highly recommend Zorz Studios as a wedding videographer!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 18, 2022•From Asbury Park, NJ
From my first conversation with Ed, I knew we were a perfect match! He was the absolute best. He arrived early and was very clear in what we could expect from him. From the bride's suite, to the groom's suite, to the 'first look' to the 'send off', he became a big part of our day...our family...and every time we saw a photo op, Ed was already there! He made our best day even better! Thank you Ed and Zorz Studios! We love you!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on February 15, 2022•From Basking Ridge, NJ
Zorz Studios and Ed Hafizov made our wedding so incredibly special! Ed is obviously a super talented photographer, but he brings so much more than that with his warmth, charm and beautiful artistic vision. We literally spent two months looking for a wedding photographer and are overjoyed that we hired Zorz Studios. Overall, Ed was absolutely on time, professional, and captured tons of great memories from our wedding. We especially appreciate all his hard work in creating striking and breathtaking photos using his clear expertise. Ultimately, we wholeheartedly recommend Zorz Studios and Ed Hafizov for any wedding or photo shoot. Unequivocal 5 Star rating!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on February 2, 2022•From Parksville, NY
Ed is the best! He has been extremely professional, friendly, and supportive the whole time.
We reached out to him only few days before our wedding, and he took our last minute requests without any hesitations. He worked so spontaneously during the photo shooting, tackled every situation in a creative way.
Most importantly, the quality of his work is incredible! We love the way he captured the light, which perfectly presents the vibe on that day. After all the work, Ed even prepared surprises for us, which we truly appreciate.
What Ed has done is totally beyond our expectation. We highly recommend Ed if you are looking for a talented photographer to work with.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 26, 2014•From Brewster, NY
What can I say? As a photographer I searched far and wide for someone who wasn't simply another person with a DSLR but an actual artist. My wife and I got even more than we could have hoped for from Zorz. The level of professionalism and quality of work is beyond belief, especially for the price paid. We have prints of Ed's photos throughout our house that we look upon fondly every day. Additionally I was so impressed that I took a full day photography lesson with Ed to enhance my photography skills and, happily, I haven't shot the same since. Go with Zorz studios. There simply isn't a better photography answer out there.

Dear Gene, it is the highest honor when a peer photographer entrusts you his/her special day. A photographer who knows about the difference from more than the visual, surface perspective. It was an utmost delight to work with you and stay in touch since then! :) Many years of love and inspiration to you!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 11, 2021•From Princeton, NJ
Ed was truly wonderful to work with and I hope to hire him again. It was a big milestone birthday party at my home. He took so many amazing photos, capturing hundreds of memories and all the little details that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am truly grateful for his creativity, professionalism, hard work, and just being a great person to interact with. I just wish I had hired him for previous parties/events. Put down your phones and let this pro capture your event.

Trinna, your party was a blast and such a perfect way to revive after last year! Awesome friends and family you have there! ;) Thank you for the honor of being part of such milestones. Looking forward to the any future opportunities!

Thank you for your trust and a wonderful time capturing your sunset beach ceremony! It was a true artistic treat and I'll have some photo gems for you! :)
Review by Edward R.
Wedding•Reviewed on January 7, 2020•From Belmar, NJ
Great guy, very professional. The only regret that I have is that the topic of prioritizing photos was not discussed. During a wedding it can be sensory overload and I wish I was asked if there are any family pictures that I would like taken. Other than that, I would highly recommend.
:
Dear Edward, thank you for reviewing my service and recommendation! As with all couples, I advise dedicating a set timeframe, usually after the ceremony, for any family photos a couple desires. It is assumed that a couple relays this arrangement to their families before the wedding so they know what to expect. Because I do not your family members, I would not know whom to invite. After your beach ceremony everyone proceeded to enjoy the drinks and mingling. My suggestions to pull family members back together were understandingly difficult for you to address. You can see on photos that we tried. I had to resort to working with those you were posing with. My apologies.

We really appreciated everything that Zorz Studios and Ed did on our wedding day and the photos speak volumes to his talent. His speed and professionalism all around was greatly appreciated! We received our photos in just over a week from the day which was an incredibly fast turnaround. Would highly recommend Ed and Zorz Studios to anyone looking for a great experience and beautifully creative shots.
