NOW OFFERING VIDEOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES
“I travel the path others take to capture the memories they forget.” That slogan guides everything I do. I’m a meticulous wedding and event photographer who stays active throughout your event, capturing real moments as they unfold—not just a preset number of shots.
With 6 years in business and a small, dedicated team, I focus on delivering detailed, memorable images at a reasonable price. From weddings to baby showers and other special events, I’m constantly looking for creative angles and genuine emotions, so you can relive the day long after it’s over.
If you want a photographer who won’t miss the moments everyone talks about afterward, let’s connect.
Remember, “Smile, you’re on camera!”

Outstanding work! Cooper really went above and beyond to make my proposal pictures come out great and made me look even better prepared than I was. He was very flexible with last minute changes to my plans, and even found information on where to be when I wasn’t as familiar with the area myself. He really went out of his way, even as a hurricane was approaching to make sure he could get pictures of the proposal and amazing engagement photos two days later. I would give 6 stars if I could, and would highly recommend!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a customer, I plan to see if some poses or activities are most important. I prefer to shoot weddings that way, I can help capture lifetime memories for those who have come together and become one. I need to make sure I can catch both parties before the wedding. Oddly, many perfect candid moments come, especially during the groom's dressing time. For me, a wedding shoot is more than just the shots of people. Much thought is put into decor plans, creating the perfect scene for weddings and events by wedding and event planners and their families. I like to capture the creativity of their art because it is part of what makes the event the best.

How did you get started doing this type of work?
My 15 years of service in the military and my strong desire to travel allowed me to view many scenes that many people may only view on television. I wanted to be able to capture these moments to be able to show my children that there is so much in this world to see.
