F.A.Q's
I don't see an address on your website, where are you located?
I run all operations out of my house in Levittown, NY. I used to post my address, but people would be coming to my house at almost all hours, someone actually came to my door at 9:00PM. Because it is a home based business, I only see people on at an appointment basis.
___
You have an option on your price list for "BACKYARD BIRTHDAY PARTIES" can that be used for weddings?
That option is mainly intended for small events that are less then 4 hours and less the 100 people, but if your wedding is that what I mentioned, then yes go for it; however the only thing I offer free on that is the pictures and a 8 X 10, all albums and other blow up prints will cost extra, also keep in mind, the package is only available April 1st though October 31st.

I'd like to pay you by credit card, but I have no idea how to use Paypal.
It's very simple. All you have to do, log on to http://www.paypal.com, set up an account if you don't have one. After that, click on send money, then write in the proper amount and send it to Zach@photographybyzak.4t.com. Trust me once you get to know it, it becomes second nature, I've been using it for over 5 years now, I personally think it's the best website ever made.
