I began my career as a news photojournalist with Fox 26. I went on to work for KSEE 24 where I won an Edward R. Murrow award and learned from watching and asking questions from the more seasoned photographers that worked at KSEE. KGPE 47 hired me after KSEE and I finished my news photojournalist career with ABC 30.
Cook Films is a wedding videography company based in Clovis, California that works with a detailed, photojournalistic approach. This husband-and-wife team strives to capture a couple's deep love connection through visual storytelling and high-definition video. With over 20 years of experience, they have worked with clients from all walks of life, and enjoy celebrating their unique personalities through film.
I am sure you have seen a videographer or two at a wedding you were invited to. You see them capturing special moments of the day and might wonder what all is involved. Well when I got married wedding videographers didn't have to go through all the stress that we go through now. They still had to get great shots don't get me wrong, but they usually shot the wedding by themselves, did the edits in camera, did not focus on capturing the best audio.
I create music under the name of J-Surreal. As a videographer it was always hard to buy music. The music was expensive. So, I am now donating my music to creatives for FREE. You can use my music for social media such as in YouTube videos, and Instagram. You can also use my music to write songs to. This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, if it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to Cook Films.
After being in the news business for 14 years and having my own video production company I have been able to learn some tricks of the trade and I want to pass them on to you. My goal is to help those who want to learn more about video and audio. My methods are not the only methods and may not be the best.

I’ve done several videos with cookfilms and I have to say they are the best at what they do.. Jeff is an artist and I can see him being a big time director one day with his artistic vision and execution. He gets it and really does an amazing job portraying that through the lens.
Thanks! See you on the next video

I hired Cook films to do a mini doc on my daughters future in boxing. He was extremely professional, easy to work with and very knowledgeable of his craft. The doc was so professionally done that it won top honors in the Telly awards. Highly recommended.

Jeff is super easy to work with, professional, communicative, genuinely patient, creative, trustworthy, and reliable. He's been my go-to videography biz for a couple biz projects -- client testimonials -- for my website as well as for a couple non-profit partners. Reasonable fees. He goes the extra mile to create a **superb product** that I'm proud to have on my business website and YouTube channel. I've been extremely happy with the video projects he's created. He was really patient and kind to me and my clients, as he made us feel at ease as we told our stories on camera.

Jeff approaches projects with tremendous passion and professionalism. His attention to detail from planning, lighting, audio and visuals shines through in the final product. On top of the technical elements, Jeff sets himself apart by his ability to storytell. In working with him, he was very thorough in researching the subject of the short story we produced focused on DJ culture, diving into past interviews to develop a final piece with a compelling narrative. Jeff also goes the extra mile by capturing various angles for videos to make topics more enticing. Above all, Jeff is just incredibly talented

Jeffrey Cook Videography is the best videographer to work with in Fresno, California. Jeffrey works on both small business videography, wedding videography, engagement videography, event videography, and any other special moment that requires videography. I've worked with Jeffrey for the last couple of months and have had a great experience every time. His prices are very reasonable. I wish I would have been able to use him for my wedding video. I highly recommend using Jeffrey for your video needs.
