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
Stephen needed some headshots on the Eastside, so I contacted Willows Lodge to see if we could come in and use their public areas for a few images. They graciously allowed us to hang out for a couple hours and we created some new headshots for Stephen! Very fun!
On this last image, we were creating a “Super Stephen” for his personal use, or if he needed to lighten up a presentation! For the processing, I went for a comic book type of look. Very fun!
I met Diana and Brad down at the Arboretum at Washington Park in Seattle for their engagement portraits. The area there is absolutely awesome for portraits. Lots of variety, beautiful vistas, interesting relationships between the foreground and the background. It may be a new favorite spot for portraits for me. Also, I brought my wonderfully talented daughter along with me. She created one of my favorite images of the day. I’m very proud!
This image was taken by my incredibly talented daughter, Alyssa Parris. She has a grasp on composition that many photographers twice her age would happy to have. I’m a little proud!
This last image of Diana and Brad walking through the forest reminds me of one of my favorite images of all time, Eugene W. Smith’s “The Walk to Paradise Garden”. You can see EWS’ fantastic image from 1918 on Sotheby’s website.
Medio just hired a new Vice-President for their rapidly growing company. They had me come to their office in Seattle to get some portraits of the new VP. Here are some of the images of PB!
Last year, I took some photographs of Rashmi Tambe for American Motorcyclist Magazine. They ran a small image of Rashmi that I took for them. They told me a couple weeks ago that they had run a couple more images in the May issue from that same session. It came today and one of my photographs of Rashmi is on the cover! They also used a second image larger than full page inside. Very cool.
Here is the beautiful little Nora! The first set of images were taken in Powell’s books in Portland.
