Taking photos with June was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From the very beginning, communicating with her was so easy. Even our pre-wedding call was fun and she instantly made us feel comfortable and excited. She also gave our planner helpful timing suggestions for photos, which made the day flow so smoothly. On the wedding day, June came in with this fun, uplifting energy that was so contagious. She made us feel completely at ease and turned the whole experience into something special and unforgettable. June knew exactly where to take us and what time to catch the light. As a Black woman, I always get nervous about how I will look in photos, but she captured me beautifully and brought out all the gorgeous colors of Waimea Valley. She was everywhere at once, and I still do not know how she captured so much. Every single emotion from that day shows in her photos: joy, love, nerves, laughter, everything. Each and every time I look through our album, I cry, I laugh, and I feel all the love all over again. We are in awe at how she was able to capture it all. These are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She is truly a professional. After this whole experience, I honestly feel like June is a good friend. She did not just take pictures, she captured the heart of our wedding, and for that we are forever grateful. read more

While June's photography style and the quality of her work is impressive, our overall experience was tainted by poor communication, unmet expectations, and delays. We chose June for her aesthetic, reasonable pricing, and friendly demeanor during our initial conversation. Leading up to the wedding in Hawaii, she was communicative and responsive, which set the tone for excitement. On the day of the wedding, she was punctual and professional, blending into the background to capture our special day's moments. We were confident in our choice. Things began to unravel after the wedding. She promised delivery of our photos within 6-8 weeks with a target date of December 10th. After reaching out to her twice, we received a password-protected gallery on December 22nd. The password didn't arrive until December 27th, after following up yet again. By that point, we were frustrated by the lack of proactive communication. When we finally got access to the gallery, the experience continued to fall short: we never received our sneak peeks, and initially, only received 979 photos - below the "minimum of 1,000" promised in our agreement. We even downloaded the gallery a few times to verify the image count. We raised these issues with June, and before hearing back from her, a larger gallery with more images appeared - now totaling 1,002 photos. Later, June shared a screenshot of an email confirming the sneak peeks were sent, but we never received neither the sneak peeks nor that email. Initially, June explained the delay was due to "an influx of client requests for albums and things needed/wanted before the holidays." After expressing how disappointing it was that her commitment to us wasn't prioritized, she then said that the delay was because she had to spend an additional week doing extensive detail editing on our images including overtime beyond her normal scope. We appreciated her dedication to the quality of the photos, but our expectations, as outlined in the agreement, was that any editing would fall within the agreed-upon 6-8 week timeframe. We understood that we were paying for the final output, not for the hours it took to achieve it. During our exchanges, June also mentioned needing an additional 30 minutes of coverage to document speeches, cake cutting, and dancing that was not billed for. However, this felt unnecessary, as our contract had clearly stated that due to the rapid pace and unpredictable nature of wedding photography, she did not guarantee the delivery of any specifically requested photograph. The agreed-upon end time was 7:30pm, and she had already captured those key moments: the speeches at 6:45pm, the cake cutting at 7:10pm, and the dancing that started before 7:30pm as confirmed by pictures taken by guests. Given this, the extra coverage didn't seem relevant or required. At first, June offered a $200 print credit. We asked for a 25% refund, but she responded that it seemed "outrageous for the small delay." The interaction ended with June saying she would consult a lawyer about the contract, but it's now been a month without any further communication. At this point, we feel completely disregarded as clients. In the end, while the photos themselves are beautiful, the service was far below expectations. The delays, lack of communication, and failure to meet contract terms overshadowed what should have been a joyful experience. If you are looking for a photographer who delivers on time and values clear communication, we would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

After months of searching for a unique, talented, photographer who was also affordable within our budget, we cam across June-Cochran Photography. We found her through a family friend and notice some truly amazing pictures while searching her site, so, we booked her! June called me early in February to schedule our FREE engagement session. About a month later in March, She met us in Breckenridge, CO. and we took some of the most fun photos ever! We were laughing in bars, climbing up on ledges of houses, and rode in the gondola. About 2 weeks later, she sent us an incredible package, complete with a disc of ALL of our engagement photos and 5 free 5x8 professionally printed photos. On the day of the wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, she and her assistant, Josh, were there for 11 Hours, and let me tell you, they came to work!! June and Josh, were lifting up logs, and climbing in trees, and going through streams to get the most amazing pictures. It was truly amazing. We even have an incredible shot of a lonesome deer that was in the meadow we were shooting in. At the reception, you hardly noticed they were there, but yet seemed to catch the atmosphere of our fun with family and friends perfectly. Brant and I couldn't have asked for a better Wedding Photographer, and there is no way that I would have made a different choice going back in time. She was everything we wanted and more! If you book her, you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I hired June for our May 31, 2014 wedding. Finding an awesome photographer was easily our most important task of wedding planning. After countless emails and meetings with other vendors we choose June. We saw our first round of pictures from our engagement session and couldn't believe how incredible they turned out. She was more than willing to take time out of her busy day to drive up to the mountains and get some spectacular sunset photos. Then of course our big day came along and she was in her element. She took so many photos and captured our wedding, its beauty and our emotions just perfectly. We are in love with our photos and thrilled that we made the best/right choice. Also, not only was she an incredible photographer and runs an exceptional business. She is punctual, professional and honest. Qualities that you just don't find too often these days. read more

Hiring June was the BEST decision we made for our wedding day. She is AMAZING. Honestly, I cannot say enough positive things about working with her and the incredibly beautiful photos we will have for life. I was referred to June by another photographer that I had reached out to, but was unavailable for our wedding day. I looked at June's website and immediately fell in love with her playful style and heart-felt storytelling. The way she seemed to "document" the wedding day with candid moments and special details was unlike any other photographer I'd seen. So I emailed her... She was quick to respond and we set a date to meet over Skype since I lived out of state. June's positive, warm energy was so immediate. We got along right away. She answered my questions and was able to create a package that was exactly what we needed and worked with our budget. We met in person about 2 hours before the wedding. She came in with a big smile and was so warm and seemed so happy to be there. And then she just got to work. She was shooting every second, but never felt invasive or overbearing. Her smile and calm energy fit right into the flow of the day. And the photos! Oh, the photos! They are priceless. All our friends and family can't stop talking about how gorgeous they are. She actually captured the magic of the day. The tears, the looks, the hugs, the laughs, the unnoticed moments, the details I worked so hard on...she got it all. My husband and I both agreed that we did not need a videographer at all because June told the complete story of our day. BEST decision we made was hiring June. Period. read more

June is an incredibly talented photographer and an all around awesome person. We hired her to photograph our wedding in Winter Park, Florida and she did an AMAZING job! Not only was she friendly and fun to work with, but she didn't miss a thing (she's like a ninja)! She captured everything - the family portraits, the DIY details we worked so hard on and the candid moments. Hiring June was the best decision we made. We are thrilled with the photos of our wedding and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. read more

June had a lot to live up to when we asked her to shoot our wedding, having my brother as a professional wedding photographer as well, we had a sense of what we needed in a photographer for our big day. Well, June lived up to it, to the max! Before the big day June was very intentional about communicating everything, which I really appreciated. From what style of photos we wanted to timeline, and everything in between. Needless to say, we felt ready when the day came. We hired a second photographer on our contract to spend the morning with the guys and from my understanding he arrived early, which was awesome because he was able to get some shots on the guys getting ready while June was with the ladies. One thing I really appreciated about June is she was very easy going throughout the entire day. She really just rolled with whatever was happening, which was awesome as my hairstylist was running about 3 hours behind. Our timeline got all screwed up and June just went with it. She was very calm throughout the entire day, which was fun because it allowed us to have fun too. One thing I did notice after the ceremony is that the timeline we laid out in March or April (our wedding was in June) kind of got thrown away because people were rushing us. I wished that we would have stuck with the timeline and gotten more of those photos with our wedding party, but oh well. The quality of pictures that we got are amazing. Everything from staged photos to journalistic style photos and everything in between. The photographers got amazing pictures (and a lot) of the guests throughout the entire party, which was fun because everybody likes seeing a good picture of themselves tagged on facebook. The photos she took of my husband and I were also amazing and something we will cherish for a long time. A word of advice: When June sends you the day-of questionaire there will be a question on it asking what pictures you want to have. Spend some time with this and really think about the pictures you want. Had I known that the day was going to get so crazy I would have included that I wanted some pictures with my mom, sister-in-laws, ring bearers, flower girls, etc. These are the ones that might be "missing", which is nobody's fault, but could have been avoided. June really wants to give you the pictures you want, so utilize that to the best of your ability. Finally, she turned our pictures around in a little over a month which is amazing considering there 1,057 of them. They all are processed and can be printed now. She even went into her archives when I wanted to see something that she didn't send, which was so awesome. She sent us some printed photos also which gives me the change to attest to the quality of her prints versus something you can get at Walgreens or something. Seriously, if you are going to get your June Cochran prints printed, go through her. Final notes, June is very good at what she does, and you will not be disappointed in her if you choose to hire her for your wedding. She is professional, fun, and thorough. read more

I hired June Cochran to photograph our wedding in August 2013. When I found June's website, I knew she was out lady. Her stunning web portfolio speaks for itself! I was enamored by the beautiful images and variety of work. Not only does June produce consistent, quality work, she is also a joy to work with. She is so pleasant and professional. When I contacted June about possibly being our wedding photographer, she sent me examples of three weddings she shot. I got to see all of the photos that were presented to these past clients. This gave me a good understanding of the product we would receive and made me feel even more confident about hiring her. I had a girlfriend who hired a wedding photographer based only on what was on his website and it turned out to be a disaster. He only posted his best photos, and he did not consistently soot great pictures. I thought is was very smart and professional of June to allow me to see these three weddings. I was able to Skype, meet June in person, and exchange e mail throughout the whole process. We had great communication. She is very good at helping you understand what to expect. Together we came up with a timeline for the wedding and she gave me some tips on how to make the best out of her services. I loved working with June and would highly recommend her as a wedding photographer. I will use here in the future for any of my photography needs and look forward to the next time we can work together. read more

June shot our wedding and it was, by far, one of the best decisions we could have made for our special day. There are so many reasons we loved sharing our wedding day with her (way too many to list)! But here are the two I appreciate the most. Authenticity. I'm normally extremely nervous in front of the camera. I didn't think my wedding day would be any different. Definitely not the case with June. She was so relaxed and professional behind the lens that not only did I enjoy taking the pictures but the entire bridal party had a fantastic time! It was a great way to relieve stress and spend time together before the ceremony. And the proof, they say, is in the puddin! My husband and I love looking through all of the photos because June sincerely captured all the love that we felt surrounding us that day. Our shots capture real smiles, genuine emotion, and lots and lots of love. Dedication. June worked so hard to capture all of our special moments. She took the time to travel to the site before the day of the wedding to scout locations and get familiar with our venue, and it showed. She jumped into action as soon as she got there and didn't stop until the moment she left. We have beautiful formal shots, special candid moments, and lots of wonderful detail photos that we cherish. Anyone who has been through a wedding knows that the day goes by in a flash. Looking through our photos, June captured all of our special details--my dress, the flowers, even wonderful shots of the Italian cookies that have been a tradition in my family for years. Thanks to June, we have those moments that zipped by during the day captured. To wrap up, June is a talented, professional, and dear person. Her participation will absolutely add to the joy of your wedding day and the final product is phenomenal!! read more

We chose June as she came recommended. And I have to say that the one piece of advice I received from friends was to make sure you really like your photographer, and if you have to spend a little more on that aspect, it's worth it. Those pictures don't get replaced. The other reviews really capture June's heart and her good spirit, which is all true. This translates over to her work. However, I do want to add that the quality of the photography and the creativity was something that I was really impressed by. I had a chance to view her style and editing in prior work. You can tell that her "best" photos aren't the only ones displayed, she displays experience in a wide range of settings, apertures, colors, and subjects. So whether you're looking for a playful, colorful moment to be captured, or a romantic, outdoor, and scenic moment, June has it. Our pictures came back from our mountain wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the colors and artistic quality. I'm hoping some day we might be lucky enough to work with her again. read more

June was more than we ever could have asked for! So creative and innovative, she truly turns out the best pictures. Captures the moments better than you could picture them in your mind. She has such a fun personality, really helps to comfort you since we aren't all natural born models! She's very professional, stays in touch through out the entire wedding process, super fun and very thoughtful. Redo's aren't an option on your big day, well hopefully they aren't, so I would recommend June to everyone! We love June and she will be a part of our big moments forever!! read more

Hiring June is A MUST!! Her work is absolutely top notch and incredible in so many ways! I am unbelievably please with my photos that I will cherish for a lifetime! Working with June was simply amazing! She captured every single moment of our special day so beautifully. I love her style of wedding photography and the way she captures personalities through her camera. I wanted less traditional and more modern and she definitely delivered with still capturing some traditional photos all brides want, but also mixed it up a bit too for a more artsy edge too. She was willing to do two engagement sessions with us, one in the mountains and one at our gym, which was very generous! She also did a Bridal sitting with me which was extra $ for her time, but did an amazing job with getting every single shot I wanted and more. She went above and beyond to make sure she captured every little Pinterest shot I wanted. Very classy, very professional. She always made me smile and laugh during every session and made both of us feel really relaxed, comfortable and natural which I think is VERY important for a wedding photographer. It would be silly not to hire her because you will be SO PLEASED THAT YOU DID! Best decision of the whole wedding planning! read more

June Cochran made the most precious day of our lives easy and fun. She didn't make us feel pressured to be distracted from the events or even to deviate our attention from each other at all. She understood the balance of letting the day happen naturally and interjecting helpful tips when we needed it. It felt like she was a part of the day, instead of peripheral to it. She took the joy personally. She respected the love and interactions with incredible grace. It seemed like, to her, each picture was sacred. Each moment captured was actually moving her at a heart level. She was able to glimpse through her lens the truth of each moment and the honesty in each emotion exchanged. When we look through the pictures we are transported into those moments together and our hearts bubble up with the joy we felt and the love we were so excited to declare to the world on our wedding day. June was so easy to work with. She understood when to disappear into the background and let special moments happen, and she knew when to gather us and capture the laughter and fun we were all enjoying together. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her. And our memories are now treasured perfectly through the images she captured. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

We absolutely loved working with June on our wedding day! Many of our guests told us later that she was so cute and nice, and we couldn't agree more! The snow (sometimes rainy snow) was coming down super hard when it was time for our post ceremony photos, and she was a trooper. I think we were all soaked. I don't know many photographers that would put their cameras in that position- let alone their hair and clothes! She was not concerned at all about what it took to make our day special. We really appreciated her for so many reasons!! And the photos... well, if you take one look at her website, it is easy to see her talent, her point of view, and her inspiring creativity. She captures it all, in a style that is all her own! We knew by hiring her, that we would have true art for our walls- not just a regular wedding photo. :) Most importantly, we knew we could trust her, which is so important!! She's fantastic!!! read more
