Show me a better reaction at the altar than this! After changing their wedding plans the typical number of COVID times, Sean basically did a touchdown celebration after saying I DO. .

Thinking of having your dog (or cat) at your wedding? More and more couples are opting to have their dogs, cats, ferrets, peacocks, and other pets rather than a flower girl or ring bearer. No, for real! . If you're having your dog at your wedding, click the link in my bio for tips and wedding dog inspo (or visit www.KathrynCooperWeddings.com/wedding-dogs). . @kathryncooperweddings...

I had so much fun photographing Alex and Chris this year. We got ice cream, walked through the garden, and had fun shooting while social distancing. Aren't they adorable?

Congratulations Amanda and Sean! The sparks between you two made my day easy.

Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts. Barbara Gittings Photog...rapher- Kathryn Cooper Weddings Cake - @darkheartdesserts Model - @krystlerutledge See more

This is what you call a nontraditional bride! I photographed her in the middle of a forest, with just a bit of wind for her amazing custom black veil. Would you wear this? .

Happy 1 week to Bri and Kyle! Covid-19 may have changed their big wedding plans, but their intimate backyard wedding allowed them more time with their most important family and friends. Congrats, and thanks for having me document your day!

My photo of Amber eloping is featured today by dress designer Pnina Tornai (of "Say Yes to the Dress" fame)! A great start to the weekend.

Rangefinder just published this article on photographing within the LGBTQ community, and I was happy to be involved. You'll see some quotes of mine and a photo of my awesome clients Joules and Aleigha in there. Thanks to Brittny Drye and Love Inc. Magazine for including me! https://www.rangefinderonline.com//how-photographers-can-/

Congrats to Crystal and Shane on their Caribbean elopement! Photographing their private ceremony on an abandoned beach was such fun. More to come soon!

In case you were wondering...yeah, eloping in Santa Cruz on these ocean bluffs is pretty great.
