Does this resonate?
Forget you’re being photographed
You want beautiful photos, but the idea of spending your entire day posing in front of the camera makes you come out in hives. You want your wedding day to be a meaningful celebration, an experience in which you are fully present with the ones you love.
That’s why I believe in giving you the best of both worlds. You need direction when it comes time to to posing and getting everyone’s best angles.
Do you want to know a secret? The best photos are the ones where you’re expressing yourself without fear of the camera or worry about what your face is doing.
You want a unique collection of images that reflect who you are, not cookie-cutter images. My hope for you is that when you look back on your wedding photos, you’ll be taken right back to the moment. You’ll be able to remember how it felt.
more about Zoe
No moment left uncaptured, both silly and tear-jerking
The process of being photographed by Zoe was magical. She constantly reignited the magic between me and my husband. Zoe was super communicative and accommodating - her ability to capture precious moments really shows.

My bridal party still talks about how much they enjoyed working with Zoe
She was organized, warm, and responsive as we planned our wedding. Her photo sessions day of were quick, efficient, and lots of fun. She captured the exact vibe we discussed in our planning meetings. We ended up with a great mix of candid and some posed photos with a heavy focus on the joy of the event.

BEHIND
the BRAND
I'm Zoe Larkin. Founder, story-teller, artist, cat mom, urbanite, realist.
Before becoming a wedding photographer, I was many things. An art student specializing in conceptual and performance art. An investment banking employee in London. content marketer for an AI startup in Berlin, failed house renovator in lebrija, spain, nomadic traveler, band groupie, binge drinker, obsessive and long-time documenter of life through photos and journals.
I always knew art was my life’s mission after an awakening at age 16 when I wrote in my diary ‘art's like a sin’. It was obsessive and all-consuming. Even after dissecting my entire artist persona in the form of a tongue-in-cheek, ‘everything must go’ art sale for my art show degree show in 2007, complete with my somewhat satirical but also deadly serious artist autobiography to kill my artist persona, something still lurked. After numerous careers, I received my true calling.
I did what every artist must — I evolved. I found my medium, my continuing education: a way to document, understand, and celebrate human connection.
I made my first $10 selling a printmaking piece as part of First Fridays in Oakland in 2014. It meant more to me than all the money I made in investment banking.
Sometime in the intervening decade I made my permanent home in the San Francisco Bay Area, got married and got 2 cats.
I’m frequently asked about my ethnic roots: I come from the Indian diaspora in Mauritius — my ancestors arrived during the indentured labor era in the mid-19th century. My parents moved to the UK in the early 70s, where I was born in 1984. I moved from my hometown (St. Albans), just down the road, to London when I left home at 18 in 2002.
Now, I find myself at a time in my life when I’m truly here for others. I’m here for YOU. I found a delight in servanthood, and that is channeled 100% toward my clients and their families on their wedding days.
This work is sacred, and it is an honor.
