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

The getaway truck. The old truck that will never be a classic! It is Eric’s and it shows their personality. Nice wedding and er…nice…truck! :)

A bridesmaid and her husband. I really liked this quiet moment amidst the band starting to play and the volume going up.

The Beatniks may be my favorite wedding band of all time.

The speeches were very entertaining. Eric actually told me that he was scared about the best man speech. At his best man’s wedding, Eric told a mortifyingly embarrassing story. So bad that I’m amazed that Eric still has that friend. Therefore, Eric was a little apprehensive about what was going to be said about him. He let him off the hook, though. Here the father of the bride is reacting to a toast that his son, Gwynna’s brother Duke, said. Fun stuff.

I rarely post group photographs, but I like this one with the wedding party laughing, the amazing sky and light that spotlights the couple.

For the photographers out there, this is taken with completely available light.  1/20 at f1.4 at 1600.  The camera compensated for yellow-green color from the flourescent light in the nearby post and that resulted in the cool colors in the background.  This is basically straight out of the camera and is not a photoshop effect.

Always trying to catch some of the background story of the day and making it interesting.

The best man got the Chicken Pox.  He was then quarantined from infecting the rest of the wedding party, family and guests.  Therefore, he wrote the speech and another groomsman presented it.  The poor best man then had to listen to his own speech over the phone.

This is Erin.  She and her husband Adam were married two years ago and I was honored to be her wedding photographer.  She was the ring-bearer’s companion during the wedding ceremony.
