The magic of photography is about the story the image tells and the feelings it creates in the viewer. When you see a wedding photograph that makes you feel warm inside because of the absolute joy on the couple's face, that is a successful image. When you see a pensive portrait of a young adult looking into the future, and you wonder what he is thinking, that image is working magic.

When you see an image of an old door in Italy and you can see the generations of changes that have occurred and you wonder about the families that have lived inside, that is an image that is sharing a story. Kelli and Garren were married on a beautiful fall day in Seattle onboard the MV Skansonia. Keli and Garren are a very fun and funny couple. Their family and friends came together to celebrate on a stationary ferry boat on the north end of Lake Union with views of downtown Seattle across the lake.

Brenda is a friend of my son, Riley. She goes to North Creek High School. She is smart and funny. She was a pleasure to photograph.

I love telling the stories of a wedding day.
A wedding is both the culmination and a new beginning of a relationship.
When I photograph a wedding, I go back to my training as a photojournalist and work to the "5 Ws" of Who, What, Where, Why, and How.
This gives me the framework to tell the story through images of the families interacting, the place the wedding happens, the beauty of the ceremony, the events as they happen, all the little details, and the magical connections between the couple.
I call it "Creating Emotional Photostories".
Great portraits of people make you feel a connection with the subject.
It makes you want to meet that person and know more about them.
My goal is to create images of my portrait clients that make an impression on the viewer to make them feel something when they see the portraits.
To do that, I work with my clients to sketch out a plan for the session of where we are going and what time of day to best convey the feeling of being with this person.
Seattle and the surrounding area, (actually all of Washington) has amazing places to create amazing portraits.
Businesses need images for lots of different uses.
As you will see below, I have a large number of galleries so you can check out images that might meet your needs or give you an idea about what I can do for your business.
As a few examples, I do personal branding sessions for small business owners and independent operators that need images of themselves for their marketing.
I create illustrative editorial images for magazines.
I create business headshots for businesses that need to include their employees in their bids.
I'm Cory, and I love photography and a good story.
Ever since I was a child and I saw the photographs appear from nothing after it came out of my dad's Polaroid camera, I have loved the idea of creating images.
I decided I was going to be a photographer on the first day of my sophomore year in high school.
I was sitting in my yearbook class and "photographer" was listed as one of the job options, and I immediately knew that is what I wanted to do.
Then I studied photojournalism and for a time was in love with the idea of changing the world with storytelling photo essays like those of W. Eugene Smith or Dorthea Lange.
Thanks for taking a look at my work and wanting to reach out to me.
We try to respond as quickly as possible, but Cory is the person running this thing, so sometimes he is out shooting or at a soccer practice.
That means it might take us a day to get back to you, or two on weekends.
In addition to the form to the right, you can also call or email me!
