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
Ali and Ryan had a beautiful day for a wedding at one of my favorite locations, Willows Lodge.
I love the laugh as they kiss. Very cool.
After a few photos, we walked to the local tavern to award the wedding party for good behavior.

One of my favorite things ever at a wedding. A late night visit by Molly Moon’s ice cream truck!
Diana and Brad had a beautiful and interesting wedding at Ray’s Boathouse in Seattle. They combined beautiful flowers, couture gown, amazing shoes, the beautiful views at Ray’s, a Jedi to guide you to your seats and a R2-D2 robot for a cake. How cool is that?

Diana had some awesome red wedding shoes!
A couple portraits of the bride and groom. The first one is on the street in the U district in Seattle, while the image on the right and below are at Golden Gardens.
I love little kids at weddings!
Constructing the R2-D2 cake!
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.
I love how happy Brad is while he looks at Diana during the wedding!
Lightsaber and R2-D2 cake. To steal a line from DJ Canon Snyder, “You may now cut your first piece of…robot!”

Bethany & Sean had a beautiful wedding at the cool and funky Georgetown Ballroom in Seattle. We started at the Hamilton Viewpoint Park in the Alki area.
The first time the bride and groom see each other is one of my favorite moments during the wedding day!
One of my favorite places to do portraits is at the top of a hill. It lets me fill the background with sky.
Train tracks are such a visually dynamic element.
Beautiful portrait taken by my daughter/assistant photographer, Alyssa.
Birdcage veils are very fun.
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.
Giving the guests a chance to play dress-up can make for some very amusing memories and photographs.
In the dancing images, you can see how dynamic the Georgetown Ballroom is for photographs. Very fun!
Jenny & Lewis are a very fun couple that were married at Shilshole Bay Beach Club in Seattle.

Yoong and Dan are very nice, sweet, funny and married! I had a great time with them. I started photographing at Dan’s family home in Seattle. There was a traditional Vietnamese ceremony and celebration, including amazing homemade Vietnamese foods.
The American wedding ceremony was at Colman Park in Seattle on the shores of Lake Washington. They had some of the most amazing waterfront trees there as well as great views of the lake, which really worked for me as the photographer. After the ceremony we took a photo tour of Seattle and went to Kerry Park on Queen Anne hill for some Space Needle images.
Finally, we made our way to Renton for a nine course meal as well as some traditional and newly invented games at Tea Palace.
I love the color of the traditional Vietnamese outfits. I find hands to be very expressive.
Yoong wiping her tears as she hugs her new Mother-in-law!
I love the tree that stood over them during the wedding ceremony.
The cute little baskets were at the end of the aisles.
I asked a bridesmaid to see on the tree. They started to climb and position themselves. I went with it!
I love this tree. It just looked so cool!
Dan chose the wrong hand while blindfolded!
Another wedding game. This one made Dan a little uncomfortable!
