We had three separate photo shoots, and each one was unique and stunning. First, he joined us on the mountain for a snowboarding session--spending two hours capturing us completely in our element with the most breathtaking mountain backdrops. Then on the morning of our wedding, he met us at sunrise for an offsite shoot across multiple scenic locations. Those photos turned out absolutely magical. And on the day of the wedding, he flawlessly captured every important moment--from beautiful candid shots to portraits of us and our guests. Not only is he extremely talented, but he's also just a genuinely great person--chill, personable, and such a calming presence to have around on a busy and emotional day. We're so grateful for everything he did to help us remember this time forever. Highly, highly recommend!

If the universe has brought you to Bruce Willey, and you are in need of beautiful photographs, then…read moreyou are a lucky person. Because not only will you leave with the highest quality, most beautiful photographs you can imagine, but you will also leave with a new friend. For whatever reason, hiring a photographer is usually delegated to the groom. Such was the case for my wedding and I was determined to not mess it up. Since we are getting married at Convict Lake, I wanted a photographer to capture the natural beauty of a place. Minaret does so, but they were expensive and booked for the weekend of our wedding. Several hours of navigating the murky waters of the internet later, and I was brought to Bruce's page. His photographs were just what we wanted and he seemed like a pretty cool guy so I emailed him asking for his availability. A couple hours later, he confirmed that he was available. We talked about our backgrounds, added each other on social media and became well acquainted. But then Bruce did something that truly warmed my heart. He realized that since I am fresh out of grad school, I am in mucho debt. He saw that while we still wanted to have a beautiful wedding, we also have to cut corners because of our budget.He saw all this and offered a discount up-front. No negotiation. No hassle. Just pure good-ness. It was a breath of fresh air in our increasingly capitalistic society and revitalized our wedding planning. From then on it was just one great thing after another. Free engagement shoot. Included Photobooth. Funny emails. Dogtogropher. etc. We just had our engagement shoot with him and he edited 200+ photos in 2 days. 2 DAYS! I have had photographers take 20 days for 20 photos. Insane. During the shoot, he was so funny, friendly, and kept us all at ease. He made my ugly mug look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was less than 10 degrees and in the middle of a blizzard during the shoot, yet he still burrowed in the snow like a photographic snow-lizard to get the best shot of us. He even brought along his beautiful ice-princess of a daughter to keep us laughing during the shoot. I am excited to see what he has in store for our wedding day. He has already wow-ed us like no other. This is one of my highest 5 star reviews in my history of Yelping. Seriously, hire this guy.

I have been to a lot of weddings and they are, by far, the best photographers out there. Organized, efficient and know what they want to get the job done well. They shot both our wedding and a follow up family photo shoot almost seven years later. I drove up from Orange County to Mammoth just so Michael could shoot our family and the photos came out great. Diana sent 148 files within 3 days (I opted for the electronic files and keep them and print them myself) and I was very choosy and still have 48 favorites. There are too many to choose from! Long story short, they have never ceased to amaze me and I have 100% confidence in their abilities and will continue to use them for years to come!

The day of was splendid; they worked with me beforehand to establish a thorough shot list, so the day of was so organized it was as smooth as can be imagined. They are very mindful of timing, so nothing is delayed and you still get all of the incredible shots you hoped for. As part of our package we got a book of proofs of all of the photos, and a cd of all of the files (the rights to all of the photos is a part of the package-- so you can get them printed wherever you want-- which from what I was researching is darn near impossible to find). These arrived so quickly I was shocked, not more than 2 weeks for them to get to me. I am simply blown away by the photos we received-- they are beyond anything I could have dreamed of. They captured our personalities and the feel of our wedding so impeccably. They say that if you have to pick one thing to splurge on for a wedding it should be photography, and the Cooke's are worth every penny. They are fantastic to work with, and their work is astonishing. I very highly recommend them.

When my son got engaged I approached Mike and asked if he'd be interested in taking their engagement photos. Mike was hesitant at first because he didn't feel he had much experience taking pictures of people. Lucky for us he accepted the challenge and to say the least, the photos came out perfect. We live in a beautiful area and Mike took his time planning different locations to have fun with the shots; from jumping off boulders to up in the mountains to near flowing streams. He knew just where they should go to get the perfect photo. Then the time came to choose a wedding photographer and my son, daughter-in-law-to-be, and I knew we wanted Mike to capture the special day. Again this would be his first wedding shoot but after having so much fun with the engagement photos he was excited to do the job. The wedding was out of town and Mike made sure to be at the location the evening before with us so he could scope out the venue, including the lighting at the time the wedding was to take place, the grounds and landscaping, and inside the building that would host the reception. Thanks to all detail he paid attention to, the special day was captured beautifully. I can't express enough how professional Mike is to work with and how perfect the photos he takes come out. Anyone looking for a photographer that cares about his work, cares about the customer, and takes the time to make the occasion extra special, Mike is the right choice.

We talked about the look/feel of what we wanted, she suggested places and she even went to scout locations and lighting before so she could see what we liked and get the timing for lighting perfect! On the actual day of shooting, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process.
