Cook Media Group

From start to finish, the Cook Media Group did a phenomenal job creating a life-​long treasure from our wedding. During the ceremony and reception they were very discreet and barely noticeable. Then, in a very timely manner, we received our video of the wedding. It was beyond what we could have dreamed. While we initially questioned whether to video our wedding, now we cannot imagine not having it. Cook Media Group captured the day so elegantly and beautifully, moments that were sweet and special, moments that were fun and light, moments that we would have missed (because you cannot be in all places at once), and moments that we never want to forget. I am so grateful to Joel and his team for this beautiful piece of art. They far exceeded our expectations and we are looking forward to viewing our wedding video for many years to come.

Joel did our wedding video, and did a first class job from start to finish. To start, he met us for a quick drink right after work so that he could have a chance to get to know a little bit about us as a couple, because it would help him make a better wedding video if he knew what we were all about. On the day of the ceremony, he was everywhere we wanted him to be, and extremely professional. The full video was great but also included a short three-​minute teaser with an online link which we were able to share widely with family and friends not up for watching the full-​length version. 4 years later it is still online and a favorite for my wife to show our young children! Thanks Joel!

If you are looking for a videographer, your search is over. (or it should be)
If you are hesitant whether or not you want a videographer at all, you won’t be disappointed with Joel & Glenn — you won’t regret it.
We hired Joel and Glenn to film our wedding and we can’t thank them enough! They captured all the important moments and created the most memorable piece of DVD & a highlight video to match our geeky rustic wedding theme. Honestly, my husband didn’t really care to have a videographer at first, but after seeing the video, he’s really glad I convinced him to get one.
I also want to point out that Joel & Glenn aren’t your average videographers — I would say that they are artists. They are creative and methodical with their approach (you can tell they’ve been doing this for a while), and it really shows in their work. I feel like showing the world how awesome and cool our video is. :) In addition, our venue wasn’t set up with any special audio or video equipments, but they came fully prepared with all the proper tools, and shot our wedding together (you have no idea how nice it is to have two guys versus one). And imagine going through the entire day’s worth of video and creating a short clip version that best represents your big day… I mean, it takes skills, not to mention patience. These guys definitely know what they are doing and I have so much appreciation for what they’ve done with our wedding video. Not only were we in tears when we saw our video, but they also made us laugh and scream with excitement because of their «special touch». (if you saw our video, you would know what I mean)
They are really good at what they do, super easy to work with and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
In conclusion, they ROCK.
Joel & Glenn — thank you so much!: D

I was referred to Joel and the Cook Media Group by a friend to be the videographer and could not be any happier! HE IS THE BEST!

We hired Cook Media to video our August 2008 wedding in Marin. During the process they were very easy to work with and extremely detailed oriented. Everything was very professional. The day of the wedding I honestly didn’t even know they were there… when I saw the finished product I was blown away. Wow! It came out amazing! Pictures are great to have BUT a video makes everything come to life and is so much more precious… you really can capture the special moments of a wedding with a video. I am so happy I chose to not only video my wedding but to use Cook Media Group. I would highly recommend them!

Joel Cook and his associate, Glen, filmed our wedding. Let me tell you, as far as wedding videos go, this one did not disappoint!
In all honesty, I was hesitant to even have a videographer, but my mom insisted and since she was picking up the tab, I let her do the research, pick the company, and tell them what she wanted.
Not only were Joel and Glenn friendly and easy to be around, they did a fantastic job of documenting our day. I can’t believe I doubted getting a videographer! When you are experiencing your wedding as a bride or groom, there is so much you miss from the sidelines. Watching the video let us relive our special day, and experience the parts that we missed.
This will be one keepsake we truly treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Joel and Glenn!

Joel came in at the last minute to film my wedding. He did a great job, and captured all the key moments. He was also very friendly and enthusiastic throughout the wedding. I’d highly recommend him.

Two DPs from Joel Cook’s Royal Weddings shot our Wedding in August of 2006, and they did a fantastic job. For the purposes of full disclosure – I didn’t even think about video until I worked for Joel for a year back in 2004, but once I saw other people’s videos and how special it was to get to witness the ceremony and all the special moments of the reception in full motion and sound – I knew that if I ever got married I would want it on DVD.
I hadn’t met the guys who shot my wedding before, but they showed up in suits, were very quiet, and respectful, and they got all the big shots of the procession, and all the intimate shots of the vows, as well as all the toasts and main dances. The editors put it all together into a very watchable hour and a half video and we got it within four months of the wedding.
I’ve watched the video at least four times in the last 2 years, and I love it every time. Check out their website

I was referred to Cook Media by my photographer. I knew nothing about video. We wanted to be able to capture our wedding ceremony and our reception on video. They did more than just roll the tape. We had very good service. Our video guy was so helpful. He helped move things along, as far as what we should be doing next. It takes a while to get the video back BUT WELL WORTH THE WAIT. They edit the video and make it like a movie. We are so happy we chose Cook Media. I highly recommend using them. You do get what you pay for.
