Zoe Steindl

"I can remember after just one phone call with Zoë, we were completely at ease and just handed her the reigns. As someone who is incredibly detailed and an planner/pro organizer by trade, letting go of the reigns was the best possible gift to receive for my wedding. Zoë dreamed up the perfect day and everything could not have come together more smoothly. She was always available when we had any random questions and she could not have been a better communicator. Zoë broke all of the tasks and decisions down so we weren’t overwhelmed with figuring everything out at once or on our own. Her talents and the Foxes process allowed us to do the one thing we wanted more than anything— for our wedding to be about “us.” Because we chose to elope, we were able to actually enjoy this season and BE PRESENT. We had time to pause and soak it all in, notice all the smells, and remember all of the sweet moments from our day. We hired Zoë to photograph our entire day. I literally had every single photo printed when we got our pictures back— from hair and makeup in the morning to the first dance at sunset. There wasn’t a single photo I didn’t love. We framed around 200 of the photos and used them throughout our reception we held back home with family and friends a few weeks later. After seeing all the photos, all of our guests were taking about how they wish they had done the same thing. Incredible photos were my number one goal and I never in a million years thought they could turn out as amazing as they did!"

"If you’re thinking about eloping, do it. If you’re thinking about having an amazing photographer capture your magical day, do it!! Zoe took so much stress away from our planning. She was personable, and you can tell that she really loves what she does. My husband and I were mid-move across the country out to Washington, and we knew that we wanted our wedding at Mt Rainier. We knew nothing about the park besides the fact that it is beautiful! We had a little guest list, which included our dog, and Zoe made sure that we found the perfect location to accommodate everyone. Although we weren’t able to have our dog at our picnic spot, Zoe took her own time to reach out to the park to double-check if they would make an exception, and she helped us shift our ceremony spot to a location that worked so we could have our dog there for part of our day! She asked us tons of questions (if we wanted wildflowers, what kind of views we wanted, how much we hike/how far we would be willing to hike, etc.) to help turn our vision into a reality. She created the timeline, educated us about different permits that we would have to have for certain locations, guidelines for the park, and gave us recommendations for Airbnb’s, hair and makeup, flowers, and cake. Our pictures were back sooner than expected, and they blew us away!! Seriously—if you’re thinking about it, just do it! Thank you again 1000000x Zoe! (I could go on forever with the review.) ☺️ I’m so grateful that we found you!"

"5 stars all around! The Foxes Photography & Zoe made my dream elopement come to life. After seeing their photos on Instagram, I knew that it was them or I wouldn't be marrying my now husband. Zoe was able to pull my dream elopement together in less than 5 months and worked around all of our requirements: 3 locations in a single day (from panoramic mountain views, to an intimate photoshoot in lush NW forests, and finally a cozy beach ceremony), dog-friendly ceremony, enough room for our 10 guests to sit, drink, feast and enjoy. As someone who is a meticulously detailed planner, they made me feel so comfortable throughout the process and answered endless questions. When a road closure was indicated for our initial location (how they knew months in advance, I have no clue), they seamlessly executed a location change. Their portal provided any and all recommendations for the area (lodging, catering, florals, makeup) making planning a breeze for a DIYer like myself. Thank you so much Zoe & The Foxes Photography, we wouldn't be married today without you & Would totally do it again if it were legal :)"

"My husband and I absolutely loved working with The Foxes and Zoe for our elopement shoot! We had initially been going back and forth on wedding planning for half a year but couldn’t really settle on a plan that worked for all of our families. We were pretty discouraged, but luckily one night we were scrolling through Instagram and came across The Foxes, and it clicked! Private, intimate celebration with good views, food, and beautiful photography? Count us in! Zoe made it an incredibly easy process for us. We aren’t from the PNW area so we relied heavily on Zoe to tell us anything and everything. She listened to what we wanted and did everything in her power to make it a memorable day for us. She linked us to amazing local vendors who made our day so so soooo much better. We loved the day, and even though COVID added a wrinkle to the planning, it was way less stressful thanks to Zoe and The Foxes. We can’t thank Zoe enough for the memories and good time. We have so many favorite photos, and my husband is convinced that I’m going to cover every wall of our apartment with our elopement photos! LOL. Highly recommend this group of amazing photographers to anyone considering an adventure wedding or elopement! <3"

"Zoe was incredible to work with. From our first phone call, I instantly felt relaxed about our elopement. The resources and direction that she shared helped to mold our day. We found the online platform not only easy to work with, but filled with resources that helped us to ensure everything was in order. On the day of the elopement, Zoe was incredible, helped to calm nerves, and was also an impromptu fashion consultant, veil applier, and close friend. When it comes to the pictures that we now have.... I am obsessed, and can't stop looking at these. Zoe captured each feeling and emotion of the day. As I look through all of the images I was transported today back to our wedding day, experiencing every emotion. In tears of happiness remembering it all. Zoe and the Fox Family - You have such a gift, thank you for not only spending the day with us, but also for sharing your gift with us."

"I do not even know where the begin. I personally, cannot thank The Foxes and Zoe enough for their hard work, grace, and passion. They helped take a hard planning and difficult situation and turn it into the most amazing wedding day I could have asked for. I do not think there are the right words in any language to express my complete adoration of Zoe. Firstly, this woman is complete SAINT. I am not lying when I say that I dreaded planning my wedding more times than I can count, but Zoe was my biggest supporter and cheerleader. She reminded me constantly that this was our day and did everything in her power to make sure that it turned out just like we had dreamed. She exceeded my dreams. Zoe helped us through all the planning, even finding a dog-friendly ceremony location so we could bring our pups. She even suggested a last-minute location change to end our day at. And if you hire The Foxes and Zoe, please know that she knows what she is doing. Our last location was my favorite. We asked Zoe to bring along her two doggos, Atlas and Goose—who are the sweetest pups I have ever met—to play along with our Golden while we took photos. And it led to my favorite photo. The Foxes and Zoe are worth every cent, not only for the magnificent photos that you will get (I have only gotten my teasers, but I, and my family, are in absolute awe), but also because this group GENUINELY cares about you, your dreams, and your love. They make it their priority to ensure that you have the most glorious wedding day. One that you will cherish looking back on."

"I can't fully explain how much we loved our experience with The Foxes and specifically with Zoe! Being a pandemic couple was not easy and we landed on multiple different iterations of our wedding for over a year. It was heck. Finally found The Foxes on Instagram and knew we had to elope. That elopement quickly turned into a micro wedding (we had 32 guests), and Zoe was flexible through it all! She helped us find the perfect spot (Telluride, CO) and was so chill and kind through the process with us! We were stressed and over the whole thing, and she made it seamless. She was completely communicative and then when the day finally came, also super cool to hang out with!!! We even got married in July, during Telluride's MONSOON season, and our plan A Jeeping road was closed the day of! Zoe quickly came up with a plan B, and you'd never know it was a concession. We loved her and our time with her and she is incredibly talented. We loved our entire experience and the end result. If a small wedding or elopement is for you, do NOT hesitate to hire any one of The Foxes (especially Zoe)!! <3"

"When my husband and I started talking about getting married, we both knew that we wanted to adventure and be on a mountaintop somewhere, and that’s exactly what we did with Zoë from the Foxes. We knew we loved what the Foxes were about from the get go and the excitement they had with every couple, so we actually booked a special date for our elopement before we were actually engaged, just to make sure we didn’t miss out on an opportunity with them! From that point on, the communication we had with Zoe for planning was easy and resourceful, as we had texts, calls, and a planning portal to achieve exactly what we were looking for. She was so insightful with all things- location, packing, timeline, vendors, you name it. It felt like a breeze planning our day from afar, which made us as relaxed and pumped for Washington as much as we could be. On the day of and our first in person meeting all together, we already felt like friends. No awkwardness, and we all just went through the day exploring, hiking, and having fun together. Zoe gave great tips and tricks for getting amazing shots that felt natural and “us”, and she encouraged us to take a chance with weather that could have been a bit iffy, and the results were freaking magical! ✨ The pictures speak for themselves, and we really could go on and on about the Foxes and Zoe. We can’t thank the whole Fox pack enough for doing what you do and creating the most beautiful memories for new journeys beginning every time you go out. XO"
