Hey — I’m Zachary Tavares, but most people just call me Zac. I’m the owner and operator of Shutter Media Company. I built this from the ground up, not as a hobby, but as a serious pursuit of what I love: telling real stories through powerful images.

Before photography, I worked in law enforcement and the military, where attention to detail and accountability weren’t just important—they were everything. That mindset carries over into every shoot I take on. I don’t show up to weddings to just “snap pictures.” I’m there to document moments that matter—quiet ones, loud ones, and everything in between—with precision and purpose.

My style is clean, cinematic, and rooted in real emotion. I won’t make you fake a moment, but I will make sure the real ones don’t go unnoticed. Whether we’re in the middle of a crowded reception or off the grid for an elopement, you can count on me to show up ready, locked in, and focused on capturing your story as it deserves to be told.

This isn’t just a job to me—it’s personal. And if you’re looking for someone who brings professionalism, creativity, and a no-BS approach to documenting your day, I think we’ll get along just fine.
