Hi, I'm Cooki. I started this because I fell in love with creating and never looked back. Now I get to do it for the people and moments that matter most, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.


Capturing the moments
you'll want to feel forever

Wedding & Event Content Creator

What started as a love for creating content for myself turned into something so much bigger.

The moment I realized I could capture and preserve memories for other people, not just myself, everything shifted. Now I show up to every wedding, every event, and every brand moment with that same love for creating, except now it means so much more.

Meet the CCM Team 🤍

There are so many beautiful love stories to be told, and we never want a date on the calendar to mean we have to say no to another couple.

As CCM has grown, so has our team allowing us to capture more than one beautiful wedding in a weekend while still delivering the same intentional, timeless, and authentic content you’ve come to know and love from CCM.

Every member of our team is personally trained in the CCM style, from how we capture the little in-between moments to the way we approach your wedding day with intention. While you may have a different face behind the camera, you can always expect the same level of care, attention to detail, and storytelling.

Because there are simply too many beautiful wedding stories to capture and we’re so excited that we now get to be a part of even more of them. 🤍

hi, i'm Zoe

There’s something so special about experiencing genuine love and getting to capture those moments for couples to cherish forever. I feel incredibly blessed to have a job that allows me to do what I love while being surrounded by so much joy and love.

Outside of weddings, I love staying active and spending time outdoors. You can usually find me working out, hiking, fishing, or camping. I’ve always had a passion for outdoor photography as well, especially capturing the beauty of God’s creation and allowing others to appreciate it through my lens.

I would describe myself as bubbly, compassionate, outgoing, and someone who genuinely loves connecting with others. I believe that working in this industry requires someone who is comfortable stepping into any environment, adapting to different personalities, and making people feel at ease. I’m able to get along with just about anyone, and I truly love meeting new people and hearing their stories.

I feel so grateful to be part of a business where I can combine my love for photography, people, and creating meaningful memories.

I love being able to witness people on one of the happiest days of their lives.

From the friends, the family, and the happy couple. It’s an honor to capture these memories! 

I enjoy going on runs, making crafts, and creating with friends. Recently, been into writing and making short films! I love a cinematic adventure! 

Love to have fun and make connections with others.

What I love most about capturing weddings is seeing so much love in one day.
