Wedding photographer and fine art creative Koko King doesn’t believe in “just showing up.” In this episode of The Retake, we unpack what it actually means to bring editorial energy to a wedding day — from sculpting light and building sets, to planning portrait windows with intention and knowing when to push a concept further.Koko shares how her unconventional path — from tattoo artist to bodybuilder to makeup artist — shaped her eye for texture, movement, and form. We talk about reinvesting in the wedding experience, refusing to shoot on autopilot, and creating editorial wedding photography that feels cinematic, cohesive, and built to outlive the day itself.If your wedding photography has started to feel repetitive — or if you’re craving work that feels more artful, intentional, and creatively alive — this conversation will challenge how you think about the wedding day. 📸 Instagram @koko_king_photo🔗Links kokokingphoto.com Sign up for a mentorship with Koko If you’re ready to save time and show up as your best self in your biz, The Unscripted App for Photographers is your secret weapon.
