alison cosker - creator, doer, finder of things you love and like.
A once-upon-a-time special ed teacher and all-the-time imaginator, I thrive on the challenge of knowing (or wanting to know) the big picture goal (like “we want to have a beautiful and tremendous wedding with a rad album for our coffee table to show our friends and our future grandkids” or “we need new images for our family deli so that we can successfully launch the next viral sandwich and sell a ritzy tote bag to every customer through the door”, you know, for instance…)
All of my work (so far) has made me really good at this: finding out what you want, and figuring out the unique steps to make it happen. The thing I know from my life so far: big goals aren’t met without an understanding of unique challenges, or without connection, fun, and collaboration.
These details are important to telling the story properly: are you gonna skitz if the DJ plays Horses by Daryl Braithwaite? Is your Dad in a wheelchair and is going to surprise everyone and walk you down the aisle at the last minute? Is your brother’s wife on the outer because she offended your Nan at Christmas in 2018 and they still haven’t made up? All these things make a difference to the story, and how I might (or might not) shoot it.
Of course, I won’t ask you these Very Specific Questions directly, but these are the things I value; making sure I can accommodate and be useful during the logistical moments and tell the story with real images, lots of love, and lots of colour.
Simply put: nothing makes me happier than climbin’ up on a big rock to get the Most Beautiful Shot Ever of you at your wedding, or standing in my socks on a table, hovering above a selection of goods + wares that you’re really proud of, and from which you’d Really Like to Make Heaps of Cash.
