Kathryn Cooper Weddings

I offer delightfully documentary wedding photography for
unconventional, fun-loving couples

Not your average couple? This is not your average wedding photography. I use innovative techniques, awesome locations, and creative ideas to get incredible, one-of-a-kind images for my amazing clients.

Ready for wedding photos beyond the ordinary? I’m Kathryn Cooper of Kathryn Cooper Weddings, and I offer the antidote to boring, cookie-cutter wedding photos.

If you’re the type of couple who knows you want something truly creative and awesome on your wedding day — even if you don’t know exactly WHAT you want — I’m your gal. I’ll get to know your personalities and come up with incredible photos that I guarantee no one else will have!

I’m a destination wedding photographer based in New York and California, and have worked on every continent except Antarctica (but let’s go!). From the Middle East to Iceland, and India to Hawaii, I’ve photographed incredible couples in incredible landscapes–all with my innovative, unconventional approach.

So, whether you’re looking to do an underwater shoot in the Bahamas, ride down an Austrian mountain coaster, or hike up a nearby mountain for some epic views, I’d love to make your photos even more fun and amazing than you ever imagined. What adventure shall we plan together? I can’t wait to capture your awesome celebration!

I cater to non traditional, multicultural, and LGBTQ+ couples (and occasionally throuples). My clients are typically joyful, travel-loving folks who want their real moments documented in a vibrant, creative way.

I’ve traveled to 70+ countries, so of course I travel!

Based in New York and California, I’ve photographed weddings in 25 countries and a dozen countries, from the Philippines to Switzerland, on roller coasters and in helicopters to mountaintops and museums.

Most of my weddings are in New York, MA, CT, NJ, California, and Hawaii, though I also photograph a lot in the Caribbean, Asia, and destination weddings all over.

My pricing starts at $2200 for small elopements, and goes up to $7500+ for larger weddings.

Couples with 150-person weddings tend to spend around $5800 for a full day with me and my second photographer.

My dream couple are themselves on their wedding day. They have personalities and hobbies, and want help with ideas and vibrant captures that make their day feel very them–yet still unique.

Some just want a simple ceremony at a local park, and I photograph those a lot! Some want a destination wedding with an underwater session in a freshwater spring, and I love doing that too.

So, my favorite day with my dream couple would be a multi-day event that shows off them, their personalities, a beautifully unique location, and an openness to fun and adventure with a hike, a jump in a pool or waterfalls, and an awesome, funky ceremony the next day.

I’ve photographed ceremonies that are Sri Lankan, Indian, Bengali, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Palestinian, Jordanian, Chinese, Mexican, Nicaraguan, and more.

I have capture weddings that are Egyptian Coptic, Muslim, Hindu (and Gujurati, Rajasthani, Punjabi, and more), Jewish, Christian, Catholic, witchcraft, agnostic, fusion, and more.

Inclusion is highly important to me, and around 35% of my couples are LGBTQ+. I welcome and photograph all types of couples and throuples!

Of course they are!
