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

Candid and portrait are two words that don’t always seem to go together.  In this case, I made this portrait of Diana while she was talking.

One of my favorite places to do portraits is at the top of a hill.  It lets me fill the background with sky.

I loved this portrait of Bethany.  I gave it an antique finish and lots of grain.

The Georgetown Ballroom is a visually interesting venue.  I love the arrangement of flower petals and the handmade ribbons along the aisle.
