Seattle Wedding Photographer - Cory Parris

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

Sara and Mark had their first date at El Gaucho Mexican restaurant in Seattle.  They sat at this table.  For their wedding day, they wanted a portrait of themselves there.  I used a flash up high above them to create the illusion of lighting in the restaurant.  In reality, it was just dark!

Right after the wedding, Sara and Mark walked out into the hallway, kissed and then celebrated with the ring bearer and flower girl.  I love the fist bump explosion by Sara!
