Thank you for taking the time to explore my wedding portfolio. I’m thrilled at the prospect of discussing your upcoming wedding with you. While I bring my own artistic perspective, I’m genuinely excited to learn about your vision and ideas.
In my role as your wedding photographer, my primary objective is to deliver stunning images that capture the essence of the moment and enhance your natural beauty. Drawing upon years of experience, innate talent, and top-notch professional equipment, I am committed to creating breathtaking photos and videos of your special day.
Beyond capturing timeless moments, my secondary role is to contribute to the overall joy and smoothness of your wedding day. I will be there every step of the way, ensuring you savor each moment, stay on schedule, and navigate any surprises that may arise.
You want beautiful images, I want to create beautiful images. Let’s create them together.

Wedding Videos
As a photographer and videographer for over a decade, I specialize in weddings and events. I am located near Frederick, MD but I frequently travel throughout Maryland to cities like Baltimore and Annapolis. I also travel to Virginia, Washington DC, and sometimes Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I enjoy capturing the moments of your event as they unfold naturally – there’s something special about the sincerity of an un-posed, unscripted moment. However, I also provide direction to help you achieve those perfect, flattering poses for your portraits and couples’ photos. I want nothing more than to create authentic, dramatic images you will treasure for many years to come.
Engagement Photos
Capture the magic of this moment. WM.COOK Photography specializes in creating beautiful, timeless images that will help you remember your engagement forever. We will work with you to create a personalized photo and video shoot that reflects your unique love story.
Before the photo shoot, we will discuss the details of the session, such as the location, style, and theme of the photos. This will be a good opportunity to express your vision and expectations.
On the day of the shoot, I’ll guide you through the process, giving you suggestions on poses and expressions. We’ll take our time to make certain you feel at ease, are having fun, and are able to capture natural, candid moments. You should wear clothes that reflect your personal style and feel comfortable.
