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
My daughter had her 16th birthday and her party last week. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try out my new “studio”. Alyssa shared her party with one her best friends, Emily. Here are some photos of them in their party dresses before the bash!
The new “studio” is located just to right of my lawnmower….
My little girl just got her instruction permit from the Washington State Department of Licensing. Below is a recent photo of my little Alyssa. I swear I took it not very long ago! I think they let them drive when they are way too young!
To be honest, Alyssa is a great kid. Very hard-working, intelligent, funny, responsible, etc. The photo below is a photo from our recent trip to Arizona. She almost looks old enough to drive in this one. She has assisted me very competently at weddings. It is a pleasure to see what a great person she is turning into!
My Grandmother is a wonderful person. She has always been there for me. I lived with her for a couple of years while going to college, she loaned me money to buy camera gear (paid back at $100 per month for 30 months no interest), and has just been there for me. Here is a photo of her taken on her 90th birthday a couple weeks ago.
When we were first married, both my wife and I were working as servers at the Olive Garden. We didn’t have a lot of money and we were saving it for important things like a honeymoon and starting a business. Our rings weren’t really that big of deal to us. We just wanted something to show that we were married. Over the last 17 years our rings had taken a lot of abuse. Especially Leslie’s rings. Her engagement ring fell apart a couple of years ago and her wedding band snapped a couple months ago. We decided that we would get new rings. We went looking at new rings one time. I saw some different things that I liked. I spent a day or two online and bought a ring. Leslie has bought and returned five rings. Now she is thinking that she will just move a ring that I bought her a few years ago to the other hand and call it good. So…here is my new ring. If Leslie ever gets a new ring, I’ll photograph it, too!
Here are a few random images from a recent trip to Portland.
