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.

Emily & Jeff - Wedding at the Woodmark!

Emily and Jeff had a beautiful day for their wedding at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. The sun was shining, the lake was beautiful, and the couple wasn’t too bad, either! A couple of my favorite wedding vendors were there in the form of DJ Austin Beaver, officiant Annemarie Juhlian and Janel of Ocassions. I also got to work with Flora Nova!

This image cracks me up.  Emily's maid of honor managed to out-wrestle the competition for the bouquet.

Seattle Venue Highlight - Novelty Hill Januik Winery

I photographed a wedding at the Novelty Hill Januik Winery for the first time last summer. I loved the place. Very cool architecture, very different from your standard ballroom, friendly people and awesome food. Here are some images from around the grounds. The wedding couple asked that they not appear in photographs on the web, so there are only members of the staff and the band for people.
