Cooper's Photography

20 images, a one hour engagement shoot, and a video recap of the ceremony and reception; this came with 6 hours of coverage but we paid for 2 additional hours to make 8 (our wedding started at 3pm and ended at 10pm). Prices were reasonable, I’ll admit that, but I expected some better quality and communication. To start, he was almost 2 hours late for our engagement session. I texted, called, and emailed for almost an hour and a half before he finally said he misread his schedule. We awaited an additional 30+ minutes for him to get there to take pictures. No biggie, things happen. But then the communication with us only got worse. I emailed him a week before our wedding to confirm details and send him our timeline for the day and was left unanswered until I emailed again to confirm 3 days later. At this point I was worried because I already had a bartender back out on me and was worried I lost a photographer as well. He finally answered back 3 days before the wedding saying we had 6 hours of coverage and the timeline wouldn’t work. I confirmed with him we paid for 8 and would figure something out about the timeline. The day of I believe he took longer than expected to set up and the start time was postponed due to this. After the ceremony we had cocktail hour to allow the bridal party and family to take pictures. This took forever and he requested more time but I requested to cut it short since we were late to the reception. He also made us do things twice (our exit mainly) and it felt very unnatural and not very candid. We received our pictures back (to choose 220 of them) almost 2 months after the wedding. I imagine this is probably a reasonable time for wedding pictures as there’s a lot to go through. A month after that we were sent the link to download our 220 photos. But we still didn’t have our video. He stated he’d have it by the end of the week. The weekend came and still no video so I checked in again. The following week he emailed back stating he unlocked ALL of our pictures (the rest of the 327) and outlined the prices for the same. Honestly we had a hard time picking out 220 of them we liked. Some were BEAUTIFUL and some just weren’t. FINALLY, 4 days into April (we got married December) we got our video. I dislike it, our friends and family dislike it. It’s choppy, the songs don’t flow/cut off randomly, and has random still pictures inserted into it. There’s also A LOT of main things missing (my husband turning around at the end of the aisle, more of our flower girl entrance, my mom putting on my necklace for me, our first dance, speeches, my grandmother busting a move on the dance floor, our dip at the end of the aisle after the ceremony, our vows, my husband dancing on  me, MUCH more). I was very disappointed for how long we waited and for the video to come out like that.

verything was transparent from the start, and he was thorough about what to expect. The photos were stunning, and my guests commented on how he obviously knew what he was doing. He was able to make our wedding truly magical! If you're looking for a photographer, this is definitely your guy!

hought we our album was lost in the mail he was on it. But in the end we got ahold of our album & loved it. Thank you capturing our most intimate time in our life.

s from the wedding were stunning! It would be a pleasure to work with Copper Photography again.
