Family Shoot in Aspen

I warmly recommend the services of Brian Zager, he is professional, flexible and it's easy to communicate with him. My family and I were on vacation in Snowmass-Aspen in March 2024 for a ski trip and we met with Brian for a family photoshoot in the city of Aspen. It was an amazing family experience and the photos are a very nice souvenir of our time together. Thank you again Brian!

Proposal atop Long Shot at Snowmass Mountain

Brian's services provided with Phomo Media were exceptional. I called Brian and entrusted him with capturing a special moment in life in the form of a proposal. Brian had more local knowledge than I did with the mountains and runs of Snowmass and this turned out to be very valuable. Brian acted as a passing photographer and offered to take photos of my fiance and family, all while having pre-rehearsed a signal for me to get down on one knee.

All was coordinated over a few texts and phone calls and above all, his professionalism stood out. My fiancé, myself, and her family were ecstatic, and we all felt as if Brian went above and beyond. Recommending Brian and Phomo Media feels like an easy and natural thing to do. Thanks, Brian, and we're hoping you can capture the big day for us!

Proposal atop Ajax Mountain

My now fiance contacted Brian to be our photographer for our engagement in Aspen. We came all the way from Denver, not knowing much about the area and Brian made sure that we had the absolute best time. He is so easy to work with, very kind, great at communicating and accommodating. He really made our snowy engagement as special as possible. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a photographer in the Aspen area. :)

Foundation Retreat atop Aspen

Brian was phenomenal to work with! My foundation gave him very loose instructions on shots we wanted to capture, and he nailed it! So kind, efficient, and friendly!

National Ad Campaign

I was lucky enough to have Brian come aboard an AT&T shoot as our on-set photographer (for a shoot with 20 cats!). He turned out to be a life-saver. Brian went above and beyond for us. Not only were his photos fantastic, but he helped us work more efficiently on set than we even thought possible. On previous shoots, we would have to devote specific time after video for the still photography. Not with Brian. He was on the floor, or perched in a corner, or wherever he sneakily needed to be to get the shot while we were rolling without disturbing the director and our video shoot in any way. Thanks to Brian's skills and cunning approach, we saved time on set (and money and crucial talent energy...). Our director loved that Brian already had his shots, allowing more time for the director to shoot our spot and work with the talent. Brian's photos turned out so well that we wound up using one in the actual spot (we needed a phone screen to be filled in an end card so we threw in one of Brian's now beloved cat photos per our Creative Directors' request). The spot director, agency creative directors, and AT&T clients were all very impressed and have asked for Brian again. He is a true talent with a refreshing attitude and collaborative energy. Can't wait for my next shoot with Brian!

Jewish Wedding at Aspen Chapel

Brian came to Shabbat where we were recently honored by the Jewish community for getting married. Brian took some amazing photographs of the special and moment and captured the moment in a very special way! He has a great attention to detail and delivered back the photos to us in record time. Will definitely hire Brian for the next event!

Engagement Photoshoot at Maroon Bells

Brian was an amazing person to work with for our engagement pictures taken at the Maroon Bells in Aspen. He is very responsive in communication and helped guide me as someone who doesn't know much about photography. The initial photos are turning out excellent!! Thank you so much Brian for helping us out!!

Instagram Marketing Campaign

Brian takes stunning shots and his knowledge of photography equipment is crazy impressive. He’s so easy to work with and incredibly flexible. If you know what you want... he knows how to get it. If you don’t know what you want, he has vision and a damn good eye and will find it for you. Brian delivers every time, I cannot recommend him enough. I have loved every moment of working with him and will continue to do so for years to come. Most of my Instagram posts are shots by Brian @givenoflamingos. The best.

Headshots for Corporate Website

Brian was amazing! I needed headshots for a new business website. He showed up a few minutes early, with more equipment than we thought we might need (so that he could address some of our unanticipated photography needs), and he took incredible photos! I highly recommend him and would use him again in the future.

Family Photo Shoot in Chicago

Brian was wonderful! Very easy to work with, and very patient with our toddlers. He got some great candid shots of our family which we love. Would definitely recommend and work with him again.

Family Photo Shoot in Chicago

Brian has taken our family photos for the past 3 years and is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, warm and professional. The quality of photos and his attention to detail are one of a kind. Our whole family loves working with him: baby, toddler, puppy, and parents! We hope Brian will continue to document our lives and milestones over the coming years.

Family Photo Shoot in Los Angeles

What an incredible pleasure it is to work with Brian and Phomo Media. You can tell right away he has a warm energy about him, and it makes relaxing for the photo session completely easy and natural. His easygoing yet professional demeanor makes for a fun session, and then these outstanding images appear that demonstrate the artistry and eye he has. (He was also excellent with our toddler for her first birthday shoot!) We are grateful to Brian for so naturally and elegantly capturing both everyday moments and once-in-a-lifetime experiences for us. He comes highly recommended, if you are lucky enough to get to work with him!

Personal Events & Corporate Headshots

Brian has been great for each occasion we’ve booked him for. He always arrives on time, is prepared, doesn’t get in the way, and takes lovely photos. He's able to capture both candid and posed moments, send beautifully edited photos back quickly - which I always appreciate. We really treasure all of the memories Brian has captured in the many special moments of our lives as a couple and now family. I also asked Brian to take some professional headshots for me, and it was a great experience. It could have certainly been awkward (considering I’m a therapist and not used to being front and center), and Brian made the experience easy, fun and great. I’d recommend him to anyone!
