About

I am a photographer based on Cape Cod that specializes in weddings, family beach portraits, landscapes and astrophotography. As your photographer, I offer over 25 years of experience. During those years, my clients have included National Geographic, NASA, Canon USA, Caltech, MIT, The CBS Evening News, The New Yorker and Bridal Guide Magazine to more local publications including Cape Cod Bride, Cape Cod Magazine, The Cape Cod Times and Cape Cod View. In 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018, I received The Knot's 'Best of Weddings' award and from 2013 - 2018 I was honored to receive WeddingWire's Bride's Choice and Couples Choice Awards. 2018 also brought The Knot's 'Hall of Fame' award. So very thankful for all my amazing clients! My work has been selected by the Cape Cod Museum of Art for show as well as LIFE magazine's 'Alfred Eisenstaedt Awards for Magazine Photography'.

Wedding photography has been a passion of mine since opening my studio on the Cape in 2003. My fun & relaxed style is a blend of art and photojournalism that is not intrusive and will capture the personality of your day.

Sensitive to the needs of the local community, I have donated my time and services to the Dennis Conservation Trust, Monomoy Little League, The Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cape Cod Young Professionals.

Please contact me for more information and pricing and to setup an appointment! I look forward to hearing from you!

Incredible Quality and Value for Cost!

Chris was wonderful to work with and we would definitely recommend having him as your wedding photographer! He was very easy to get in touch with and communicate with at the beginning of the process. I had researched about 30 photographers and was pleasantly surprised when we learned that Chris fit within our budget. We met via Zoom before booking, and then met in person for the engagement shoot which was a great inclusion in the package. Our engagement photos were everything we dreamed of, and Chris was extremely helpful and patient with our dog as she was a big feature in our engagement and wedding pictures. On the day of the wedding, Chris and his assistant were there on time and captured so many incredible and beautiful moments. I had given him a list of pictures I wanted to make sure we captured and he got them all! He was so incredible with our dog again, even crawling in the sand on the beach to get some beautiful shots of her. I did not think that we would be able to afford the quality of photos that Chris delivered, but it feels like we really got lucky. He turned around the (many many) photos quickly and I love that we have the rights to all of them. Definitely consider working with Chris for this once in a lifetime day!

Simply the best

Chris was wonderful! As a bride, the pictures were one of the most important parts for our wedding day. I wanted every detail to be captured! Our pictures are STUNNING!! He is easy to work with, professional, and responds quickly to any and all questions. We had to postpone our initial wedding date due to Covid-19 and he was so flexible with rescheduling! Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!!

Venue recommendations

Photos are easily the most important thing in a wedding. You also want to have someone outgoing and easy to work with! We had a little bumpy road having to postpone engagement photos because of weather but as soon as we met Chris we knew it was going to be perfect. He definitely made us laugh even when some poses were super awkward. I can't wait to see how amazing his photos turn out. If you need a photographer that's going to be super fun and great personality hire Chris NOW!

Great Person, truly an artist

Chris was one of the recommended photographers from my venue, The Dennis Inn. I looked at his photos on instagram and his website and fell in love with the astrophotography. My husband and I booked a meeting with Chris and he was great- showed us examples of his work, went over package details and was just a genuiniely nice person. We decided to go with him right away. We later on decided to add on an engagement session, which was a great way for us to work with Chris before the wedding. Our photos came out great! We were excited to work with him again for our wedding on December 22, 2018, and we were not disappointed. Our photos came back even quicker than I expected, and they were beautiful and really captured the day. Best of all, we got a photo with the stars! Definitely recommend Chris Cook Photography to any couple!

We LOVE our wedding photos!

My husband and I got married in Chatham this past September and we could not be happier with our photos! Chris listens to what you want from a photographer and delivers. He clearly knows the cape very well and offered unique and creative photo ideas that we will cherish forever. Your wedding is only one day, your photos are forever. Put your trust in Chris and you won’t be disappointed.

Chris came recommended by my venue and he was my brother's photographer at his wedding too. He did not disappoint! Chris was very professional and great to work with! We had phone calls and emails to plan everything out and he was very approachable. On the day of, he came early and he and his assistant were very detail oriented and got all of the family shots that we asked for. He was flexible and let us customize our package, which was great. We got great pre-wedding, during wedding and post-wedding family shots and sunset shots after our big day. When the photos came back to us, I couldn't have been any happier! They are absolutely stunning! I absolutely recommend him. Unfortunately, the night sky didn't cooperate so we couldn't get those fabulous night shots that he does, but when we are visiting Cape Cod again (we live in Washington D.C.), we will try to get them from him.

Chris and his team were fantastic! They had some very creative ideas for shots which turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. He and his team also worked really well with our videographer, which made for a very easy and (relatively) stress free day. Definitely one of the best decisions of the weekend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Chris Cook is a wonderful person and photographer. Before I even was in the wedding industry, Chris actually shot my wedding on Nantucket! So I can speak from experience as a client and having worked with him at events! He is very personable and will make sure to get all of the photos you want to have. He is sure to capture every moment and you won't even realize it until you see the proofs! He has an eye for photography and will do whatever it takes to get a great shot! Chris is a great pick for your wedding photography!
