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.

Cassie & Ryan - Wedding at the Golf Club at Newcastle!

Cassie and Ryan had a beautiful wedding on a rainy summer day at the Newcastle Golf Club. It was fun trying to find new and interesting places to photograph around the golf club while staying covered from the rain!

Ryan's face in this image is why I love having the first look before the wedding.  It is a moment for the bride and groom to laugh and share their excitement!

It rained most of the day, but we ventured out around sunset (cloudy, hard to tell when and if it had set!).  I loved this moody portrait with the dark clouds.

Samantha & Navy - Wedding at Newcastle Golf Club!

I had a great time at Samantha and Navy’s wedding at the Newcastle Golf Club. Navy and his family are from Pakistan and I love the colors and traditions from that part of the world. It was also my first Muslim wedding. Very fun!

You can see the slideshow here!

Sunset Portrait at Newcastle

Newcastle Golf Club is one of my favorite places to photograph and this image pretty much sums up why. Beautiful views of Lake Washington and Seattle that turns to spectacular sunsets at night.

This image was taken at Jennifer and Brian's wedding at Newcastle Golf Club in Bellevue.

And here is Janel from Occasions LLC.  She is quite adept at avoiding the camera (years of practice I imagine), so this is one of only a handful of images I have of her despite the fact we've worked together many times.
