My fiancé and I decided to get married last Friday during quarantine. My sister hired Robin to do some "distance photography" to commemorate the day. Let me say: Robin is the best! He is so friendly and goes out of his way for the client. He called me the night before to understand my vision and talk me through different location options. Safety was of utmost concern for Robin and we discuss in detail the safety measures we would take. Robin was flexible with time and location. He listened to our wants and needs and offered his own suggestions as well. Ultimately, Robin created BEAUTIFUL images of my husband and I. I'm so excited to use these photos when we finally have a wedding. We have already ordered many copies for family and friends and are excited to have these as keepsakes. I highly recommend Robin for any of your photography needs. Thanks so much, Robin, for making our special day even more special!!! read more

I posted a project and received about five or six responses in two days. The only business that responded to me was Zoart. The rest of them either said they did not offer that service or they were still reviewing my request. Zoart not only replied quickly, they were very flexible and creative about how to approach my project. They are a "can do" business! I highly recommend them! read more

When our original photographer cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, Robin stepped in quickly and professionally. We are so grateful for his beautiful photos and capacity to be flexible. It was really important to me to have professional and beautiful photos of our children's adoption, and that's exactly what we got. He said yes to photographing the event the next day, and then returned our photos within ten hours of the event! Incredible. read more

Robin Fadke of Zoart photographed our June wedding, and the photos are beautiful! From the Bride: Robin's skill is evident in his photography. He can look at a location or setting and know what would look good--what angles to shoot from, what to include, and what effects to use to get interesting and beautiful photographs that are still about the people and the special day. Robin's creativity doesn't distract from the events, rather enhances them and gives you a special way to appreciate a particular person or wedding-related setting or object, like the cake, flowers, garden, or hugs. Robin takes great cameos. Not only do you get the classic posed photos, but also ones that feel relaxed and alive. You get to see the rest of the wedding in addition to the ceremony. We really liked working with Robin, he has a very relaxed manner, and was sensitive to what kind of poses we liked and what made us feel awkward. Since we had done an engagement shoot with Robin, we already knew that we would be comfortable in front of the camera with him. We would 100% suggest to future couples to do the engagement shoot, even if they feel reluctant or like it's too much spotlight. Get comfy on camera with your partner, and find out what works for you. It really is nice to have both the experience and all the beautiful photos for later. When we look at our photos, the day comes right back to us. It was a beautiful wedding day and despite coronavirus, we can look at our pictures and have only beautiful memories. From the MOB: Our daughter's wedding was planned for 125 people in mid-June. We had to abandon that celebration, and only in early June decided to go ahead with a very small, intimate garden wedding on the same date. Robin was instrumental in helping us plan our newly designed celebration and keep us on track. In addition to the time Robin spent on the engagement shoot, and coming out to our home to scout for getting-ready photos, he now made time to come to the new wedding location a couple of days ahead to scout for backdrops and lighting. He made suggestions for where to stand and cake placement, and helped enormously with our new timeline for the whole day, to make sure that we would fit everything in and we would have good lighting for pictures. On the day of, Robin was extremely professional. He arrived early to begin shooting the dress. He kept us moving along, making sure that we had all of the traditional pre-wedding shots. That is no small thing, because when it is just your family, it is easy to get distracted and lose your pace and not fit everything in as planned. During the ceremony Robin was the one who made sure that we got started, stood in the right place, someone took the bouquet, etc. When people have unexpected wedding roles, you need a little oversight, and Robin was our man. Even though we didn't get to do all of the things that we had hoped for this wedding celebration, when we look at the wedding photos, we truly feel that nothing was lacking and we really did have that beautiful wedding day.   Don't let Robin's reasonable pricing fool you. He has a ton of experience, his work is top notch, and he is a genuinely good person. From the Groom: Robin definitely alleviated any fears I had about being told to pose in way I wouldn't have normally - his way of telling us where and how to stand was easy to follow from the beginning and evolved very thoughtfully as he got to know us better. If we thought something was better (or just more like us) he went with it effortlessly. He loved that we preferred "funny" pictures and was happy to oblige without sacrificing any photographic integrity. As a hobbyist photographer I appreciated how quickly he found the right lighting and a variety of angles. I was never left hoping for certain shots as he consistently got the most out of every setting we were in. His "bedside manner" was superb and the pacing of getting-down-to-business while keeping it casual so we were in a good picture-taking mood was well-honed. It was definitely one reason we were able to continue for so long during the engagement shoot.   The image quality of the photos he ended up selecting for us (both technically and artistically) was always unquestionable and the framing was very eye-catching without being cliche or too eccentric.

Oh my gosh I am so happy! I just received my photos from my wedding this past weekend and they are amazing!! We found Robin and thought his portfolio looked fantastic and prices were reasonable and affordable. In the lead-up to the wedding Robin was very organized, thorough and professional. He asked a million questions about wedding day timelines and shooting locations so he knew exactly what I wanted and he made recommendations, which were helpful because I had no idea what I was doing. On the wedding day he was on time, professional, kind and prepared. We did not get married in the most glamorous location but Robin found the best shooting locations and backgrounds and managed to make everything look beautiful. The details shots are beautiful and captured everything I poured my heart into designing for the past 10 months and made them look even more beautiful than in person. The posed photos look natural and full of beautiful light and happiness. The candid shots are flattering, fun and capture the excitement and joy of the day. Robin delivered every picture I could have wanted, made us look great and did I mention we received our pictured in 4 days? I cried while I looked through the online gallery last night, I was so happy. read more

Robin was a life saver. Just one day before our wedding the photographer assigned to take pictures bailed out! Then, another photographer recommended Robin to us. Since it was the night before our wedding I accepted the recommendation somewhat reluctantly. From the get go he was very professional, asking questions trying to learn our time line for the ceremony, the reception, who needed to be first in the pictures, etc. I should mention that the original photographer never bothered to ask any of the questions Robin asked. By the time I arrived to the church Robin was there smiling and blasting picture after picture. At the end of the ceremony he was very accomodating, and even allowed time for us to get our dog to have some pictures taken with him. While my new husband took our dog home, Robin kept on taking pictures of me, trying to get to know me and making me feel comfortable. Later, at the reception he kept taking pictures of us, our guests, the cake, etc. He worked nonstop to capture every special moment of our wedding. Lastly, he's based in Davis, but was willing to drive to our wedding in Pacifica. Thank you Robin for saving and capturing our special day! read more

Robin and Mary did an amazing job at our wedding this summer. Robin made us feel very comfortable by doing our engagement shoot first in SF. During the wedding in Petaluma, we had a good flow. He got some really amazing shots and brings a unique artistic angle to the photos. It is hard to pick a favorite. I really appreciate that they took some scenery shots too as I requested (we spent a lot of time decorating). Thank you ZoArt Photography! read more

Robin is one of the most talented and professional artists we've ever met. Our wedding would not have been what it was without him. From the first day we met him for our engagement photos he was incredibly receptive to our vision and ideas, very personable and invested time in getting to know us. He delivered THE MOST amazing portfolio for our wedding album. Every moment, expression, and feeling was captured. And there are remarkable shots using every part of the venue. In the end we received over 1K beautiful, candid and timeless photos in just a couple of weeks that everyone in our families continues to talk about. His organization allowed us to smoothly transition through each part of our wedding and, more importantly, really told a story of our day and us as a family/community. He was polite, professional and respected the space of everyone at our wedding, including the venue staff. Robin and ZoArt have our highest recommendation to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Very few like Robin exist. Thank you, Robin! read more

I can't say enough fantastic words about Rob. I got married in 2007 so this review is a long time coming. He is an amazing photographer and person. He has an ease about him that makes you feel so comfortable, you forget there is someone taking your picture. He came highly recommended from a friend, then another friend used him for her wedding, then I did for mine, and my BFF used him for hers. We loved that he takes great detailed but relaxed shots. I also loved his artistic eye. Rob was able to capture the beauty, grace, and fun of all of these weddings. You will not be disappointed with any of the shots he takes. I just wish he still lived in Orange County so he could capture some great shots of my kids. I also love that he still has one of my favorite pictures of myself on his main "brides" page. I am not a fan of having my picture taken but Rob was amazing! read more

Robin is the best event photographer I've ever worked with! He's a real artist with a natural feel, beautiful compositions and vivid lighting, with an innate sense that is unique to him. He has detailed eye and his shutter captures the beautiful emotions and moments as they happen. He is also so good at crafting portraits on the fly in natural light, finding unique framings and making everyone feel comfortable as well as making sure that the lighting is just sublime and everyone looks so beautiful. On top of all of this, he is lightning fast! We were able to fit in a wedding portrait session in so many locations in a garden within an hour and the photos look AMAZING! If you have a chance to work with him, do it! For your special day, you really only need a few good photos and usually that's all you get. His talent goes above and beyond. My guests are raving that they've never seen such a beautiful photo set! read more

Robin came recommended to me by one of my bridesmaids who had recently married herself. Having been a guest at her wedding I could see how he worked & liked his behind the scenes style. I also loved his photographs. I hired him for my wedding in Long Beach & am so glad I did! The pictures are a perfect storybook of our rehearsal evening & wedding day celebrations. He really captured us - goofy faces & all :) It shows too that put a great deal of care into finishing the photos & organizing them for me, which has been super helpful with putting my album together. We received over 1,000 pictures & it's looking like I'll be using about 500 or so for my book, I just love them all so much! read more

Rob is simply the best. Rob & the ZoArt team did our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day in Los Angeles, and I could not be happier. He is a dream to work with in person - truly professional, warm and patient. He has an eye for photos that I have not seen anywhere else. Our wedding photos are just perfect...he captured the scenery and moments in an artful, stunning way. We already knew Rob would be amazing - he did my sister's wedding and one of our family friend's wedding. So we trusted him to do his thing, with little direction from us, and he just nailed it. We had a group of over 200 people and huge families, and he did it all. I think my favorite photos are the ones we didn't even know he was taking! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, hire Rob and his team. Just do it. You will be so happy. read more

Robin was absolutely amazing. We planned a small wedding remotely and he was great. He made the time to call me and touch base regarding my vision of the wedding, pictures, etc. A true professional. I chose him because I loved his use of color and space; and he did not disappoint. My (now) husband is an architect and has worked on buildings in the downtown of city we got married in and he wanted certain shots and Robin was on board. He really got it. Sachin ( my other half) described Robin's work as 'intellectual and architectural' and that is about the greatest compliment that has emitted from his lips. Run, don't walk, to book Zoart for your wedding or any other photo opportunity. I only regret that he doesn't live on the East coast so I could book him for other events. read more

Robin Fadtke came through big time for my daughter's wedding day on August 8th, 2020. Her original wedding was scheduled for May 2, 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Robin hung in there with us on the postponed date. This speaks volumes for his integrity in honoring the original contract we had with him when he could have taken a new client. Robin's engagement and wedding photos were magical, unique, inspirational and captures the true emotions of the individuals he is photographing. He is extremely professional in his communication and timeliness. He embodies the phrase" a picture captures a thousand words". read more

I was a COVID bride (from 5/2/20, postponed to 8/8/20), and so glad that we found Robin pre-COVID to stick with us through the ups and downs! From a venue change to a date change to a timing change with hot weather, Robin made it work and showed up. Despite our wedding morphing into something we never visualized to begin with, the pictures came out beautifully and better than we ever imagined. He has a great eye and artful taste, which really comes across in the photos. It was also amazing to me how much emotion and gracefulness he catches in his photos, as my husband and I are complete dorks in everyday life. We would absolutely book him again for our 1st anniversary photos, hopefully in post-COVID times! read more

Robin is an amazing photographer and wonderful person! My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, and Robin perfectly put us and our nervous puppy at ease! We recently moved out of our first apartment, a place that has many wonderful memories. Our enormous request of Robin was that he help us capture the good feelings we had in our home. Robin went above and beyond and was quite a trooper carrying equipment under an umbrella on a rainy day. Aside from his obvious technical skill (he did incredible things with light and framing!) Robin gave us imaginative images full of humor, beauty, honesty, and nostalgia. We are forever grateful!! read more

Rob and his team were amazing photographers. Rob really has an eye for light and color and I think it shows through his work. We did an engagement session with Rob; his pictures were fabulous and we got to know him well, which made us comfortable with him during the wedding events. His turnaround time was incredible! He also put together a guestbook for us which was beautifully done. On the day of our wedding and at all the pre-events, he worked well and really respectfully with all family members involved and captured candid moments--not overly posed and forced. This was something that was very important to me and he captured the feel of the moments really well! Additionally, he did this all without being intrusive to the flow and feel of the ceremonies. All in all, Rob and his team are great wedding photographers and produce incredible work! read more

We were very pleased with Robin's work as our photographer for our wedding! We spoke and met with Robin on numerous occasions before the wedding, including doing an engagement photo session. Robin encouraged this session so we could all get to know one another before the actual wedding day, which we found to be very helpful. Robin was very easy to work with on the day of our wedding. Best of all, he has a great eye for artistic yet very classy shots. He ended up providing us with a very generous amount of photos from our wedding day, and we love them! Robin managed to be a fly on the wall during the event, and yet he also captured a lot of unique shots that reflect our personalities and nearly all of the special moments that took place throughout the day. Robin also got shots of almost all of our 180 wedding guests, which we found impressive since he was a single shooter. We had told Robin that he could leave soon after the dancing began, but he ended up staying well into the reception and captured lots of great photos as the night went on. Overall, Robin was a wonderful wedding photographer for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend him. Thanks, Robin! read more

Robin has reasonable prices. We hired him for our engagement photos, city hall signing, ceremony at Palace of Fine Arts, and Wedding reception. There weren't many reviews on Yelp so I took a leap of faith and hope for the best. We took engagement photos at SF Embarcadero and Chinatown. We didn't know how to pose for our engagement shoot but he was gave us some useful tips and directed us accordingly. He was patient and was excited to different shots of different inspirations of different doorways and alley artworks. He got a bit lost driving to the reception but he was still able to get to the restaurant on time.He captured a ton of great photos of all the guests! Nonetheless, our wedding photos turned out great and we couldn't be happier! I think we got a lot more comfortable with taking photos during our wedding day so we got a lot more candid shots as compared to the engagement shoot. The photos had a lot of attention to detail and captured a a lot of moments of people having a fun time. All the friends and family have commented on how great the photos looked. read more

I was really worried about getting my pictures (because I'm a worrier and I worry about everything). My biggest fear was not liking how I came out in the pics, because quite frankly I'm a hit or miss when it comes to taking a picture. I don't know what magic Robin did but I absolutely LOVE my pictures. I even like how I came out in all of them (except for like 2 when I was speaking, and I tend to make weird faces, so that's my fault, lol.) Anyway, if you are looking for a great photographer, with an incredible artistic eye and fun to boot, then Robin is your guy. So far everyone who has seen the pictures has gushed about how awesome they all look. He really made the colors pop incredibly. He also has incredible turn around time. He uploaded a sneak peek of pictures within days of our wedding and all remaining pictures within 4 weeks of our wedding. Thanks Robin!!! read more

Robin and his team are great! They did my engagement shoot and my wedding. They were always on time to all my events as a matter of fact they were always before time to make sure they caught everything. Robin is an excellent photographer and really has an amazing eye to catch beautiful pictures. He made the whole process from booking Zoart to confirming the wedding event schedule extremely easy. Being the bride I had many other things to do and often forgot to reply back to Robin. However he was always on top of things and made sure to get in touch with me so everything could run smoothly during the wedding. I first saw Robin's work at my cousins wedding. I loved their wedding albums thus decided to go with Zoart for my wedding. He first shot our engagement shoot and I must say me and my husband were very impressed. He captured the best shots of us with amazing lighting and amazing scenery. We both were very excited that Robin was going to shoot our wedding. When we got our wedding pictures ( within a month which was pleasantly surprising) we were amazed. He caught all the important moments from all our events plus more. All of our guests loved the pictures. He is currently working on our albums which we are very very excited to see. I am very happy that we went with Zoart to capture our wedding. Thank you so much Zoart and a very specially thank you to Robin! You truly make the brides life that much easier :) read more

Robin was so great. I called him last minute, he totally accommodated, went with the flow and made things easy. He had excellent communication. Was very professional. Great with Kids. And most of all, the images he captured are the beautiful generational time pieces I had hoped for. Bonus- he had great ideas too and on top of listening to what we requested he gave more value by making gentle suggestions. Just wonderful. read more

Robin is very professional and a great photographer! I enjoyed working with him and he had a great eye for getting the best shot.

My husband and I both really enjoyed working with Robin at our wedding. We prioritize working with people who also appreciate kindness and clear communication. Robin did a great job in both of these regards. He answered all of our questions and unique quirks we have as a couple and what we envisioned for our special day. He worked flawlessly with our videographer to make sure everyone got that special shot. We all worked together to make sure which shots were a priority to us as a couple and we all had a great time. Robin put in a very hard day, hardly stopping for a break of his own. We had a very comfortable bond very quickly as he was sociable and also a great listener. Robin has a great eye for lighting, special vignettes, as well as the ability to give great cues for that perfect shot. We got our product back in a timely manner and we were so happy with our finished product. We will forever cherish our special day for years to come thanks to the work done by Robin. He was worth every penny and we would definitely hire him again! read more
