Coco McKown Photography

Coco and her assistant, Courtney, were truly wonderful to work with before, during and after my wedding. First off, Coco has such a positive energy about her and you can feel that love that she has for photography and capturing special moments in people's lives. leading up to the event, Coco was great in answering and adapting to all my random questions and changes to my itinerary. She offered great advice without being presumptuous or obnoxious ( I can not say that for all the vendors I spoke to during this planning process)! On the Wedding Day, Coco and Courtney showed up, took amazing pictures, got the great shots and made everyone feel fantastic and comfortable with the cameras clicking away. I received access to my gallery quickly and love seeing the memories again. The only negative thing I can say is the fact I don't have enough wall space at home for all the beautiful photos I want to display!

My wife and I are so happy that we hired Coco to capture all the joy that was shared on our wedding day. I was very nervous about taking photographs and was worried that they would look posed or inauthentic. However, Coco made everyone feel very comfortable and she took photos of my family and friends that I will treasure forever. She was so professional and efficient with time, but simultaneously brought so much joy and humor to the day. In addition, our prints were available to us quickly so that we could use them for Christmas presents. I would absolutely recommend Coco to anyone looking to hire an amazing wedding photographer.

There isn't enough room to praise Coco more! I may be biased, as I've known her for 10 years, but it wasn't until our engagement shoot last year and then our wedding last month that I got to be her subject - dream come true. She's so lovely to work with, from the booking process (she was SO helpful!) to the shoots themselves, I always felt like I was in good hands. She has this incredible way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful and never awkward (which so many photographers do). She's got boundless energy and is just so darn delightful. I can't imagine having anyone else capture such important moments in our lives. You really can't go wrong with Coco!

Coco has done so many of our pictures and there’s a reason we love her so much! Not only is she family, but she is so talented and fun! She makes us so comfortable when taking pictures. She’s hilarious and will keep you laughing the whole time. I definitely recommend using Coco because when you get the pictures back from her, you will be so impressed. She has an eye for detail and you can see that in all of the photos that she has shared on this website.

Coco was there for us at the beginning of our journey. From the actual engagement, to the engagement photos, and then to the wedding. Coco was incredibly personable, professional, and just a joy to be around. The images that she captured were absolutely amazing and can be seen all over our house. Her photos are sharp, incredibly composed, and they capture the the true emotions of the day. She's incredibly easy to work with. She quickly responds to any inquiries you may have and really helps to make sure you're as prepared as you can be for your big day. We love her to pieces and are so happy to call her our friend. I highly recommend Coco McKown Photography!

Coco is hands down the best at what she does! Not only was she excellent at communicating with us before the wedding, she did a fantastic job of giving directions on the day of the big event. She made everyone feel very comfortable—and we had several guests comment on how excellent she was (both in personality and efficiency!). She finished our family formals in record time, and had a knack for being exactly where she needed to be at just the right time. And of course, the pictures are stunning—she has an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments while also maintaining stellar artistic perspective. We would recommend Coco to anyone—you won't be disappointed!

Working with Coco for our Bengali wedding was the best decision we made for our event. She arrived at the venue early to scope out good locations for photos, greeted us upon arrival, and stayed close by all night. Even with a lot of "Uncle Bobs" and a lack of a good flow, Coco kept me calm and sane. She stayed completely professional and kept us smiling. Along with the formal family shots, she captured the hidden moments of the evening that captured the joy of the event. She made sure to find out the important people in our lives and captured the true family and community feel of our evening. After the event, she quickly edited the photos and sent us our digital files. And to this day, I have a hard time just looking at ONE photo. I always want to look at all of them and relive the day. I will always recommend Coco, and am always looking for excuses to have her photograph us!

Working with Coco was like having a long-time friend with me through every moment of our special day! She was so personable and went above and beyond in both our Engagement Session and our Wedding Day! Coco will do whatever needed to get “the perfect shot”, even if it means power- lifting a heavy ottoman to recreate a sentimental picture. Coco has such an aura of friendliness about her that put everyone in my wedding party at ease. She effortlessly captured the perfect blend of the serious and romantic shots and the goofy and quirky shots that my husband and I both are. Coco and her assistant Courtney were invaluable during the reception. Not only capturing our guests, but also constantly making sure my husband and I had what we needed and were enjoying ourselves—something I can’t even explain how much I appreciated. Coco’s turnaround time is incredible, and is something important to know when choosing a photographer! We received our photos within 3 weeks, and each photo was more beautiful than the last. I would highly recommend Coco to anyone in search of both professionalism and a good-natured and fun photographer. Coco was the best!

All I can say is Coco is stellar. I knew I wanted her as our photographer when I saw one of her first wedding shoots. She captured our day perfectly. I thought I would regret not having a videographer, but her pictures gave me all of the memories I needed after the wedding. She is a joy to work with, made EVERYONE she took a photo of feel appreciated, valued, and comfortable. I am so lucky she is also my friend! If you want someone who will bend over backwards for you and always remember you still exist throughout your engagement when your other vendors simply forget about you and/or write you off, Coco is your girl! I couldn't recommend her more highly! Her second shooter was amazing as well! She assembles the perfect team to meet your needs!

Coco is amazing to work with! She has taken our family portraits in the past and did our engagement shoot. She captured moments from our wedding that we would have completely missed if it wasn't for her! Coco provided guidance and support throughout the entire process and was SO fun on the day of. She truly has a special touch to capture the magic, beauty, and emotion of the entire wedding day. She was crazy fast to get us our pictures and every single photo was truly remarkable. We highly recommend using Coco for your wedding! She is professional, fun to work with, and the best choice we could have made for our wedding day!

I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience! Coco is amazing and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Both my husband and myself are the antithesis of photogenic, and Coco was able to make the experience so fun and she caught us at our bests! She is amazing with kids and made all six of our kids smile beautifully! She is an incredible photographer, professional, communicative and fun!

Coco is absolutely amazing! She was able to work my wedding into her vacation plans which was fantastic because I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing my special day! Coco's infectious energy made getting the pictures done a breeze. She was able to keep the ring bearer and flower girl engaged and excited. She captured some of the most precious moments of the day. All of the guests raved about how it seemed like she was always there to get the perfect picture. I absolutely recommend her!

Coco is AMAZING and I cannot even begin to express how happy I am that my husband and I were able to have Coco photograph our engagement session and our wedding. Coco came highly recommended from our really good friends who had her take their engagement pictures. I loved what I had seen of their pictures and after looking at more of her pictures on her website I knew she was the photographer for us. We messaged her and she got back to us right away. From the moment we met with her it was clear that not only was she professional but she was also incredibly friendly and we could tell that she was truly passionate about her photography. Our first session with Coco was our engagement photoshoot. My husband and I quickly learned that it can be rather awkward to take formal pictures but Coco quickly put us at ease and made the whole experience so much fun. She had so many great ideas and she helped guide us through the whole process. All of our pictures came out beautifully and we absolutely love them! Throughout the rest of our engagement photo session, Coco took the time to touch base with us and was in close contact with me the closer we got to the wedding. She even went out of her way to come meet me at my venue during my final walkthrough so she could check it out before the big day. On the day of the wedding Coco came prepared and from the moment she arrived not only was she the photographer but she was another guest ready to partake in all of the festivities. What I loved most about Coco was that she shared in all of our special moments with us, it was just like having another friend at the wedding who happens to also be taking fantastic professional pictures. All of our photos turned out amazing and we have gotten so many compliments, both the formal shots as well as many candids. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough and look forward to having her take our family pictures one day.
