About

No matter where in the world you're getting married, I photograph unique, beautiful, and quirky weddings & elopements in the most fun, amazing, and stress-free way possible. Cookie-cutter photos? Heck no! I'm a photojournalist, which means that in addition to catching your ceremony and family photos, I focus on candid moments: surprises, laughs, crazy dance moves, and incredible reactions that tell the story of your day. Occasionally I'll do a cool pose, but most of the time I let you talk, laugh, and enjoy everything you've planned. My photos are natural and not overly edited, so they showcase you, the place, and the moment. I especially love time alone with just the bride and groom, because doing portrait sessions--whether in another country, under the water, or using light painting and night--makes your photos stand out. I pick and choose just a few weddings a year so I can get creative and truly capture the essence of the two of you. If you're fun and creative, and are open to having an awesome photographer (or photo team, if you're having a bigger celebration!) catch all the amazing moments of your day, I'm your gal!

Always An Amazing Experience!

Kathryn has been a friend of mine for 20 years, so I've been following her growing business and incredible adventures around the globe for a long time. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is she fantastic to work with, she loves opportunities for creativity and "outside the box" moments. I loved the idea of playing with light at night, so she found a color-changing light device to create incredible backgrounds for our night photos! I also loved that we hardly knew she and her second were there during the ceremony. She's sneaky and still gets the most beautiful photos!
I cannot recommend my beautiful friend enough, especially if you're looking for someone LGBTQ+ friendly!

Best wedding photographer ever!

We are so happy with how our wedding photos came out. Kathryn was wonderful to work with. She is professional and organized, and takes amazing photos. We spoke multiple times before our wedding day so that she could capture exactly what we wanted. We developed a timeline of when we'd take different photos throughout the day, and she was able to adjust accordingly. Originally we planned to take sunset photos around 8 PM. However, my husband and I were having so much fun on the dance floor that we forgot entirely. Kathryn reminded us, but she recommended that we stay on the dance floor and enjoy our time with the band and our guests. I'm so happy she encouraged us to keep having fun, and to not leave the party for a few photos. She captured our favorite moments and I'm so happy we choose her as our photographer. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers stunning work.

Colorful, professional, and fun

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with.

We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night.

Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

The Best Part of our Wedding was Kathryn


I rarely write reviews, but Kathryn's work...and just her amazing, fun, and funny (in a GOOD way) personality made our wedding day 1 million times better. I had to write this review and simply rave about her!!

We had a small wedding outdoors in the Redwoods, and from the get-go, Kathryn was eager to help us plan, execute, and kind of be the voice of reason/knowledge/exerience all in one. We didn't know exactly what we wanted, just an idea of how we wanted to feel on our wedding weekend (no stress, in a beautiful spot.) She chose an AMAZING location I didn't even know was near us (we're in Northern California), without all the crowds. We had a beautiful ceremony, but what was amazing was that she caught these moments...like my dad's expression, and even a tear...that I didn't know were happening. So in a way, we got to relive the photos she took and also these moments I had no idea were happening.

We chose Kathryn for her ability to capture amazing shots in beautiful places, but got so much more. Every time I look through the photos, they tell the story of what I was feeling, but also what I didn't get the chance to see, if that makes sense. A true artist, in my opinion!

Plus we got to go around to all these fun spots after, and she acted like our tour guide, pointing out interesting plants, facts about the town we went through and the forest, and just making us feel so comfortable and welcomed the whole time.

Thank you, thank you Kathryn. 1,000,000 recommend!!

Kathryn Cooper is an Extremely Good Photographer (would recommend)

We cannot recommend Kathryn enough!

First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night.

I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%.

Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring.

We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

Expert Creative Photographer!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Kathryn Cooper as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results! She was as quirky as we are and was completely on board with our zany ideas, including using LED lights, smoke bombs, and capturing stunning nighttime shots.

She took our inspiration board and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Her creativity and ability to adapt to our unique vision were truly impressive.

Working with Kathryn was a breeze. She was organized, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our special day without any stress. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and flexible photographer who can bring a creative touch to their wedding photos.

Thank you, Kathryn, for capturing our day so beautifully!

Amazing photographer

Simply put, Kathryn was amazing. The pictures came out beyond magical. Prior to our wedding, she was so communicative and made sure to answer any questions we had. She took the time to understand expectations and made sure we were on the same page. She is on top of details and played a big role in making sure our day ran smoothly!
Part of our memories of our day was simply how fun it was to work with her and Antoine. Both of them are just soo personable that we were sad our day ended because it means we won’t see them again.
We could not be more pleased with the results. Kathryn delivered a huge collection of stunning photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kathryn to all couples looking for a photographer.
We love you Kathryn and the team, thank you for being a dream team to work with. Keep it up!

Great working with Kathryn Cooper

Kathryn was a pleasure to work with and my fiancée and I absolutely love the photos. One of the best ideas I had was to to memorialize the proposal.
