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.

Willows has this huge, cool tree stump thing out in front of the lodge.  I wanted to get the whole thing with the blue sky and sun, but that left Heather and Eric in almost complete darkness, so I pulled out my handy dandy remote flash and brightened them up a bit.  Very fun!

The centerpieces were cool.  I like it when they figure out how to make something beautiful and large while at the same time let the guests see the other side of the table.

It is a pet project of mine to take interesting images of the glassware that is always sitting around at weddings.

Loves Me Flowers

I’ve been thinking for quite some time that I wanted to start featuring vendors that I have worked with and that my clients have been pleased with. I just sent out a survey to my clients and got back quite a few vendor referrals for them. As luck would have it, Kendra from Loves Me Flowers was on the list, and she contacted me this week for some images for her portfolio and website. This coincidence leads to the first vendor feature on the Cory Parris Photography blog. And without further ado, hear are some images of the work that Loves Me Flowers has done for a couple of my past clients.

The first set are from Elyssa and Caleb’s wedding in December 2007 at Willow’s Lodge.
