I'm Waylan Cooley Phillips, and I've been living my dream as the full-time owner of Cooley's Video for an incredible 24 years. Imagine every day waking up to do what you love—directing, editing, capturing life's moments through video / photography, and bringing stories to life across the globe. That's my reality, and it's a ride I'd never trade for anything!

Directing is where my heart beats the loudest. From the adrenaline rush of corporate videos to the fast-paced world of reality TV shows, crafting commercials that stick, short videos that move you, and industrial videos that inspire—I've done it all. And I bring every ounce of my passion to the table, every single time.

As a photographer, I've had the honor of shooting major awards shows, black tie events, gala, and inaugurations. There's something magical about capturing people in their element, whether it's the height of their career or the joy of play. My focus is creating headshots that speak volumes, portraits that tell your story, and major events where every snapshot is a piece of history.
