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.

I had a great time with Kelley and Robert last Saturday.  They were a very fun couple and they were married at the beautiful Cove at Normandy Park.  You can see their slideshow here!

Jessica & Alex were a lot of fun to photograph.  We went to downtown Bellevue.  They were willing to do whatever, and I had a blast!

Cory the wildlife photographer!

Filed under General, Woodland Park Zoo • Written by Cory @ 9:15 am

While trying my hand as a wildlife photographer, I completely cheated.  I went to the zoo and brought the family with me!

The giraffes were cuddling!  I’ve never seen this before, but it seemed very much like they were being affectionate by rubbing their necks together.

WPJA “Winner”

Filed under General, Wedding • Written by Cory @ 7:22 am

I’ve never been serious about entering contests, but I decided to give it a go with the most recent WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) contest.  I basically received an “honorable mention” type of placing in the “Wedding Ambiance” category.  It’s fun to have it recognized.
