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.

Tiffany & David - Seattle Wedding at SODO Park!

Tiffany and David were married at the beautiful and unique SODO Park in Seattle. They were great fun to hang out with. Their wedding was very entertaining as well, with a play put on by some cousins, a drum performance featuring Tiffany and David did a rap in honor of his new wife! Very fun.

You can see the slideshow here!

Here is the wedding dress haning against the wall of the old warehouse.  Very cool contrast between the pristine dress and the funky, shabby wall.

Rob at Medio - Executive Portraits in Seattle!

Filed under Executive, portrait Tags: , , — • Written by Cory @ 10:04 am

Rob is the CEO at Medio, a company that works with cell phone companies. If you have internet on your phone, you have probably seen their work, but it probably said “Verizon” or another provider on it! He needed some images for his media kit, and I photographed Brian’s (Chairman & CTO) wedding last year. Here are some of my favorites. There will be more coming this week!

I liked the angle and branding on this image

It was nice that they had the branding installed in their office!

Tiffany & David were married last weekend. Before I get into processing all of their images, I found this one and started to play. I really like the moody clouds. It’s a new processing for me, so let me know if you love or hate it in the comments!

Hard Rock Seattle!

Filed under Family, Kids Tags: , — • Written by Cory @ 8:47 pm

I have a very good friend that is a manager at the Hard Rock Cafe Seattle. Mat (pictured below) is not only a restaurant manager, but also a very talented wildlife photographer. If you happen to visit his site, you will see wildlife of the animal kind just to be clear. He invited my family down for a friends and family preview of the cafe, which was very cool. We also got a guided tour and my daughter was thrilled to be able to pick a couple songs to be played. The location and view from the rooftop deck is fantastic. Oh, and the food was good. I recommend the granny smith apple & provolone burger! :) The official opening is on Wednesday, February 10th.
