About Pete Cohen | Los Angeles Photographer

The story

I’m Pete, a Los Angeles photographer working across weddings, brands, and portraits. For the last decade, my job has been the same in every setting: notice the real moment, and be ready for it.

I came to photography sideways, through years as a touring musician and a career in design, and both still shape how I shoot. But the day I photographed my first wedding in 2015, everything else became background.

Since then it’s been hundreds of weddings, sessions, and shoots across two coasts, and I still get the same jolt every time a moment comes together in the frame.

The approach

Documentary, with an editorial eye. I capture moments as they happen, but I’m always composing for light, feeling, and story.

A creative collaboration. You know your story; I bring the direction. Together we make something that feels like you.

Every detail considered. From color to how you feel on the day, the small things add up to images you’ll keep for life.
