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.

Malori & Matt - Wedding at the Spirit of Washington Event Center!

Malori and Matt are a great couple and I had a blast hanging out with them and their friends on their wedding day. It was my first visit to the Spirit of Washington Event Center. It had a cool, kind of funky feel to it inside with the rounded ceiling and long open space with exposed beams.

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!

Tiffany & David - Wedding Sneak Peak!

Filed under Seattle, Wedding Tags: , — • Written by Cory @ 9:57 am

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!

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.
