Amazing experience all around and photos we will cherish forever!

Cory captured our wedding day absolutely beautifully! The images are timeless and so perfectly captured the spirit and love of our day. He is an extremely talented artist with a clear, creative vision. Plus, he made us incredibly comfortable in front of the camera (no easy feat) and interacted with our friends and family in such an easy-going and natural way. The turnaround time on our photos was also unheard of (within the week!) and we could not be more happy with the result. Cory was communicative and responsive throughout the booking, lead up to the wedding, and follow-up. Truly had the best experience and could not recommend him more highly!

A True Professional

Cory is the best photographer I have had the pleasure of working with: the pictures from our sessions are better than I could imagine, and he brings a calm and ease behind the camera that allows everyone, even those who "don't like taking pictures," to relax and be comfortable for the experience. A+ would work with him again and again.
