    Jeff Cooke was the photographer for a friends wedding in CB this past summer and he did a pretty swell job I have to say!

    I find that wedding photos can occasionally give me the urge to become physically sick. Rather than capturing what should already be a pretty grand moment in anyone's life, some wedding photo peeps seem to err on the side of: lets tell a story. example: my husband walked behind that tree and is now peeking back at me, which is causing me to grin merrily. Isn't the WEDDING the story? Do you really need situational props beyond the whole white dress, tux, combo? There's also the slew of wedding photos that are just plain awkward: anyone so drunk that a stomach pump could conceivably have been involved, anyone so happy they're sobbing, wardrobe malfunctions and well... you get the gist.

    For these reasons and many more I was really happy to see what an awesome job Jeff did! He totally read the vibe of the couple involved and got the sort of shots that will be supremely memorable for them, as individuals as opposed to just relying on the sentimentality that I assume anyone would feel reminiscing and peering at their own wedding photos. Jeff also had a photo booth concept going towards the end of the night that was part guest entertainment/part a cool montage of well wishes.

    I would definitely recommend Jeff for your next shindig! Check out his website to see the range of events he can snap for yah!
