About Cory Parris Photography
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 have 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. Have any questions? Call me - 425.637.8852

I had a fantastic time hanging out with Katie, Chris and their families. While I was at it, I decided to take some photographs. 
Dad looks pretty happy walking down the aisle!
Cool ceremony location.
I loved this of the kids looking at the view.
I thought this was fun. I wrote an article about how to choose a wedding photographer (which is something I should know a little bit about) and it has been published on the ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) website. How cool is that? You can see it here!
The great thing about ISPWP is that they accept any style of high-quality, experienced wedding photographer. I’m also now in the membership committee, so I have a say in who gets in!

Gwynna and Eric are great fun and I had a blast at their wedding.
The getaway truck. The old truck that will never be a classic! It is Eric’s and it shows their personality. Nice wedding and er…nice…truck!
The cake topper was from the wedding of Gwynna’s grandmother.
A bridesmaid and her husband. I really liked this quiet moment amidst the band starting to play and the volume going up.
The Beatniks may be my favorite wedding band of all time.
The speeches were very entertaining. Eric actually told me that he was scared about the best man speech. At his best man’s wedding, Eric told a mortifyingly embarrassing story. So bad that I’m amazed that Eric still has that friend. Therefore, Eric was a little apprehensive about what was going to be said about him. He let him off the hook, though. Here the father of the bride is reacting to a toast that his son, Gwynna’s brother Duke, said. Fun stuff.
Kelly and Nash took the fact that it poured down rain all day on their wedding day in August in stride. They had planned an outdoor ceremony at the Mukilteo lighthouse, which is now surrounded by a beautiful new park. Weather reports didn’t look good, so they scrambled to get tents for their guests set up. About an hour before the wedding, the fact the rain was blowing sideways into the tents at their beautiful waterfront location necessitated a move of the ceremony to the reception site on the fly. All of this and it ended up being a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.

You can (normally) see the beach from their deck. On this day, you can see the storm!
Kelly waits in the car for the wedding to start. It was slightly delayed by the fact that the car Nash was riding in broke down and he needed a lift.

It was a fun and entertaining day. Kelly and Nash embraced the whole change of plans thing and rolled with it. Very cool.
I met the bickhaus family in Everett to do an urban-themed portrait session. Gotta love that!
