Terra Cooper Wedding Photographer bio picture

  • Welcome

    Salut everyone! My name is Terra Cooper.
    Here is a little about me and things I believe.
    * Cats are evil masterminds that just may take over the world someday.
    * I adore the gnocchi at Wolfgang Puck's at the MGM in Las Vegas. I may or may not have drove to there once to eat it.
    * "If I wasn't trying to keep the conversation going, then we would just be sitting here in an embarrassed silence." -Mrs. Peacock
    * I know all the words to I Like Big Butts, Gangsters Paradise, you know, the classics.
    * I think belly buttons are gross and have a hard time even touching mine.
    * I love eating Ben & Jerry's while watching the Biggest Loser.
    * Anthropologie....the end.
    * Planning for a marriage is more important than planning a wedding (although I do love me some gorgeous details at a wedding!)
    * I like beating boys at anything that is assumed they would be better at than girls, yeah I said anything.
    * Life is like a basketball game. If you foul, there is a punishment. Sometimes people need time outs and you should get three points for riskier shots.
    * If tv watching a sport, I would be in the final four for sure!
    * I love eating out, really don't like to cook, but love watching anything on the Food Network.
    * I believe the only way to change anything in your life is by first educating and changing yourself.
    I am a Salt Lake City based photographer specializing in weddings and am available for travel worldwide.

Happy Birthmother’s Day!

Posted in Adoption

Happy Birthmother’s Day to all of the amazing and selfless Birthmother’s out there, especially the one that made me a mother to our daughter, our birthmother, Lauren.

I just had to leave a comment I just bawled my way through all the video’s and your story..Adoption is the most wonderful blessing ever {I know because I have 4 children through adoption} and your story, pictures and words bring back so many memories. Adoption is a roller coaster, a miracle. I wish I had a photographer at each of our adoptions and placements what a beautiful treasure for every one of you. So happy and excited for your family. What amazing women both of you. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Your photography is beautiful. What a beautiful little girl too. Happy mothers day to both of you!!

Placement of Alayna

Posted in Adoption, Babies, Families

Thank you Brittany Cascio for taking the pictures of this sacred moment.  I chose this song because it sounds like to me each beat is like a step hard to take.  That is exactly what this day felt like.  This is my side of our story.  I know Lauren has her own story. All I...
