Having spent the better part of a decade capturing photos with boldness, color, and joy, Zara Staples has mastered the art of documenting weddings in vivid ways, bringing to life real moments and happiness that feel expressive and full of energy.

Using her knowledge of fashion, and over 200 weddings photographed since 2017, Zara mixes editorial style with documentary journalism. She looks for real connection, lets people be themselves, and knows how to step in without disrupting the moment, allowing the day to unfold naturally while capturing its most meaningful details. Her work is creative and feels bold, reflecting the unique energy of each couple, many of whom bring incredible personality to their aesthetic. Her clients are usually creative and aspirational—people who have a vision for their wedding that is truly unique to themselves and their story. 

Zara spends most of the year traveling for destination weddings, keeping her work fresh and energized. She shoots on both film and digital formats, aiming for natural tones with a punch of vibrancy that enhances the atmosphere without ever feeling forced. This approach has led to features in Vogue, British Vogue, Anti-Bride, Rolling Stone Australia, and Together Journal, among others.
