Welcome!

cory-mug-color-smile I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Seattle. I create emotional photostories.

I love photography. I love all the technical aspects of f-stops, shutter speeds, megapixels, photoshop, and lighting. I love the art of photography in the composition, angles, bokeh, point of view, and the way the technical changes the art. More than even the art, I love the expressions and emotions that people portray in their face, body language, and hand positions. Along the way, I’ve met a lot of great people, gotten to photograph some pretty cool things, and had a lot of fun. I am very happy to have chosen a career in photography.

I also have an amazing wife, Leslie, and three fantastic children. Life is good.

Sneha & Tarak - Mehndi in Woodinville

Filed under Wedding, wedding photojournalism Tags: , , — • Written by Cory @ 8:51 am

Sneha and Tarak started their wedding celebration on Thursday with the Mehndi. It was the first time I got a chance to see and participate in a Mehndi, so it was very cool for me! They had the Mehndi at the Carol Edwards Center in Woodinville. My kids have played on the soccer fields below, but I’d never been in the building before!

I didn't know that this place existed in Woodinville.  It has a nice big room adjacent to the gym.  Made for a great place for the Mehndi.

Annie & Ryan - Wedding at Cedarbrook in Seatac!

Annie and Ryan are a great couple. Very fun and friendly - they made me feel like a family member at their wedding! We started the day at Cedarbrook Conference Center in Seatac where the official ceremony was early in the day with an outdoor ceremony for family and friends in the afternoon and the reception at Tea Palace in Renton. What a blast. I love my job!
