About Anthony & AZS
Anthony Ziccardi’s passion for photography began early—at just 11 years old, when his father handed him his first semi-pro SLR, a Canon AE-1. That gift sparked a lifelong love for capturing images. He began his professional career in New York City, but in 2001, life took a creative turn when his former high school invited him to develop and lead a photography program.
That same summer, a former student asked Anthony to photograph her wedding. What began as a favor quickly grew into something more. One wedding led to another, and word-of-mouth requests began to pour in. By blending technical skill with a natural storytelling instinct, Anthony’s work resonated—and Anthony Ziccardi Studios was born.
In 2008, AZS became a full-time studio. Today, it's one of New Jersey’s most awarded and trusted photography brands, operating out of its third and largest studio space in Anthony’s hometown of Sparta, NJ.
After a decade in education, Anthony stepped away from teaching to run AZS full-time alongside his wife, Sarah. In 2017, he was honored with the Best of New Jersey Award of Excellence, recognized as one of the top 25 Italian Americans in Business.
AZS has grown, upgraded, and modernized over the years—but the heart behind every photo? That’s stayed the same.
