Sean Cook is a wizard - you will not regret booking him. Sean and his team made our experience stress-free, collaborative, and FUN from engagement photo planning to receiving final wedding photos. He brings an infectiously positive energy to the room, and my guests still rave about him six months post-wedding. I would without hesitation recommend him. -

It's easy to see the quality of Sean's work, but it's another thing to experience the way that he achieves his results. From the second you meet him you'll feel the confidence of an experienced professional and that will put you at ease. During our engagement session it was a joy to watch the way that Sean can walk into a new environment, quickly figure out the lighting and composition, and then effortlessly give instruction on how to stand, how to walk, where to look, and how to appear natural in ways that were not necessarily intuitive to us. His tone and demeanor are such that in more intimate moments it becomes easy to view him less as a stranger with a camera than as a friend who just made you laugh with a joke. That is a skill that allows him to get shots that most other photographers would never have the opportunity to capture regardless of their technical ability. He brought that same familiarity and positivity to our wedding but he also showcased another set of abilities that really put him over the top for us. Time management and people management. Pictures are important, but so is experiencing your own wedding day. Sean is able to get these incredible shots by placing you, posing you, and coaching you quickly. We gave Sean an extremely difficult and lengthy shot list and he was able to command the attention of a large room of friends and family who would rather be eating, drinking and dancing and got them organized and looking picture perfect while still exuding positivity and congeniality. Having Sean at your wedding is like having another planner on site. With a 3 second whisper in your ear he can give you little tips for how to cut the cake, or where to look during speeches, or any of the 30 other little things that you hadn't fully thought through. At other times he can become invisible and capture beautiful candid moments that you couldn't have hoped would ever make it into a photograph. All this is in service to getting the best possible photos, and making one of the best days of your life even better. Beyond that, he will turn around teasers very quickly and full packages not too much later in a format that makes them easy to view, download, and share. I can't recommend Sean Cook highly enough. If you need a photographer, you cannot do better. Thanks Sean! -

It’s hard to describe the magic that is Sean. Not only are his photos works of art we will cherish the rest of our lives, he has a magnetic ability to put anyone at ease … instantly.
I don’t love having my photo taken in general, and was worried about the photos all day. Sean has an incredibly friendly way of providing helpful guidance on posing and getting comfortable in front of the camera.
From the moment we met, we felt like Sean was a friend. He assimilates into every situation. He is kind and engaging, and somehow livens a room that needs brightening and takes a seamless step back during more personal moments.
Our engagement photos blew us away. And our wedding photos left our jaws on the floor. We receive endless compliments about our photos and Sean himself — all incredibly well deserved.
Without a doubt, Sean is the best decision we made for our wedding. Could not recommend him more highly! thank you, Sean! -

Our favorite wedding vendor!
Hiring Sean was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process, hands down. After our initial Facetime meeting, we felt like we were already long-time friends and we could tell he knew all the right questions to ask so we could all be prepared for the engagement shoot and our big day. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand the dynamics of our family and wedding party, and learn what was important to us in our photos. We couldn't be happier with how all of our photos turned out, and we had several wedding guests comment that he was the best photographer they've ever seen in action. Highly recommend booking Sean to capture your big day - you will NOT regret it! -

Sean was one of the first vendors that we hired when we got engaged in May 2020. Our original wedding was in 2021 and we had to push until 2022. Over the past 2.5 years, we had many zoom calls to discuss the wedding and what really stuck out to me, is that he really wanted to get to know my fiancé (at the time) and I to form a bond so that he could make our wedding day that much more special. On the first phone call we ever had with him, he said, I will literally be with you from start to finish your whole wedding day. And thay always stuck with me. We hired Sean for our engagement photos, our rehearsal welcome party and of course the big wedding day. I kid you not, when Sean was leaving the wedding I think I started crying because I loved every second of working with him. We also demanded having a picture with him. From the beginning of the day until the end of the day, he made us laugh, he directed us in ways we wouldn’t have known otherwise, and he told us exactly what we had to do to make sure we could get all the photos we wanted. I would also like to mention that we had a bridal party of 29 people, and a very large group for family portraits (not easy to manage a large group like that). Not only did he manage it, but he memorized everyone’s names…HOW?! After the wedding, people would come up to us and compliment us on the decor, flowers, food, the usual..but then they would say BUT OMG SEAN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER WAS AMAZING! There are literally not enough good things I can say about him. And the quality of the photos?! I mean, just look at his instagram. His work totally speaks for itself as all his photos are absolutely flawless. He is a complete and total professional and a master at his craft. I can not wait until the next time I work with Sean. -

I wanted an experienced photographer that would be able to not only create and capture beautiful photos of us but also capture many of the candid moments of the event and our guests all night. Sean brought incredible energy and an easy-going, fun personality that put my fiance and me at ease for both the wedding and our engagement photo session. At the wedding, he also brought an assistant that aided in getting over 5000 pictures of us and our friends and family. We also chose to do the portrait booth with a blank black background. It was an absolute hit because of Sean. Anyone that chose to get a portrait basically got a photoshoot of beautiful professional photos. He was funny, made everyone feel comfortable and brought out some amazing photos. I will look at those pictures from our big day with awe forever! -

Sarah G. Sent on 07/02/2019Our favorite vendor choice!
To preface this, photography was the most important element of our wedding to me. Sean is so amazing to work with and I cannot recommend him enough. My husband and I agree he was our favorite vendor choice throughout our entire wedding (and we loved everything about our wedding!) After we first spoke with him, we interviewed a couple other photographers, and they just paled in comparison just in the way we vibed. Sean went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process, from the engagement shoot through the end of the night of our wedding. We loved our engagement photos so much that we added on a rehearsal dinner shoot and his Portrait Booth, which our guests raved about. I am extremely picky when it comes to photography, specifically with event/lifestyle-type photos. It takes a specific talent to be able to capture emotion, which Sean definitely has. We're looking forward to working with Sean in future lifestyle shoots. -

To be honest, I have been working on this review since I first met Sean over three years ago. He was the first vendor I reached out to in our wedding planning process and I did not have any idea where we were going to get married. All I knew was that I needed to have Sean capture our day. A change in plans ended up making our engagement three years long, but I am so glad Sean hung with us to our long awaited wedding day.
Our wedding day seemed like a dream thanks to Sean. He is so personable and approachable. My husband and I are not necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, but Sean did such an amazing job making us feel like naturals. He is humorous and super attentive to every detail. Sean was also a hit with all of our guests and we hear comments from our friends and family saying "WE LOVED YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!".
You don't just want Sean, you need Sean. He is so talented and you wont regret your decision working with him at all. He will capture your special day in such a classic and timeless manner that it will last for decades and decades. Sean, thank you for everything you did to make our wedding such a memorable occasion (also, braving the cold on our very chilly January day). -

Paige Sent on 09/25/2018PSA to Brides: choose your wedding date based on Sean's availability. Seriously.
"Sean Cook" is now a household name in our friends and family circle...for so many reasons!
We found his work on Instagram early in the planning process and fell in love with the soft quality of all of his photos, but when we talked to Sean on the phone, we both loved his down to earth and friendly nature and also how invested he seemed to be in every one of his couples. We ended up hiring him for my bachelorette party, engagement photos, AND our wedding.
On our wedding day, Sean and his assistant were the ones keeping us calm and quite surprisingly doing more organization of our many parts than anyone else. I was told he was handing out waters before our ceremony (a scorching hot day) and also that our flower girl fell in love with him.
Thank you for documenting this special journey from engaged to married, Sean! We are forever grateful to you. -

Sean was an absolute dream to work with. We had a large, rowdy bridal party, so I was worried about wrangling everyone for some group shots, but they turned out absolutely perfect. 100% would recommend the Portrait booth - it was just beyond any "photobooth" we could have gotten. From the start of the day, it was if I had known Sean for years. He was so laid back (in a calming way), but able to direct us effortlessly, to get the most beautiful photos. Sean even stayed late and took some amazing candids on film (which ended up being my favorite shots) on the dance floor until the last song. I would marry my husband 100 more times to have Sean Cook Photograph our day over and over again! -

I’ve struggled to come up with the perfect words to describe our experience with Sean. His art speaks for itself — there’s no doubt that he’s an extremely talented creative and story teller. But I’m here to tell you about working with him and he is a true dream come true! To provide some context, our wedding was in Tulum and it was an intimate group of 28 people — our nearest and dearest. There were a number of things that didn’t go as expected on our wedding day and Sean anticipated my (and my husband’s) every single need. He offered his insights generously and professionally, which made a significant difference in our overall experience. A good example — On the morning of our outdoor, beach ceremony, while it was down pouring, he told me exactly what I needed to hear to get me out of my head and into my heart. More practical example, he showed up to our rehearsal with an insect-repellent-fan-device for my husband after learning how sensitive he is to mosquitos. During our first look photos (after it was already widely known that Sean was fantastic), I commented to Jason how great his pocket square was folded. He whispered “Sean did it” and we both belly laughed.
Sean thinks quickly on his feet, provides real-time solutions and is so proactive that you can almost miss all of the work he’s doing in the background to ensure a seamless experience. In addition, he’s witty, thoughtful, patient and just a pure joy to be around. He immediately became one of our own when it would have been easy to just take role of photographer in a group of our size. My friends and family still talk about how much they love Sean (and two have booked for their own weddings). When I shared photos from our wedding, friends replied “I miss Sean” :) Best decision I’ve made (besides marrying my husband) was choosing Sean to document our special day. Forever grateful! -
