"My freelance work allows me to always think as a photojournalists. Sometimes wedding photography can be a formula, and freelancing allows me to think outside of the box and bring a unique perspective to each wedding story." - Glen Cooper

The vision in creating this collective wedding photojournalists team was born from his desire to bring his colleagues together and his passion to mentor. He currently directs the Photojournalism Department at the New England School of Photography, so he is constantly learning the latests techniques and trends in photojournalism. His students have proven to be his teachers as well, as they constantly stretch his boundaries in photography and life!

His extensive editing experience allows for the best images to be presented to each client. This skill alone has set him apart from other photographers, and all our clients benefit from his editing expertise. See, Glen does not put photos on line right away because there is a very involved and careful process in editing the final selection. If this step is skipped or rushed, the quality of your image collection can be dramatically compromised.

After eight-year of editing experience in his position as the Chief Visual Journalist for BostonNOW news magazine and as a photo editor for Metro International., Glen knows the power of editing.

He is also a member of the Wedding Photojournalists Association (WPJA) and the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA).
