Merissa & Jay... wedding!

Take a minute to watch this before reading any further.....



Merissa & Jay, where to begin with their wedding?! It was magnificent, moving, heart-stopping, and those are only a handful of words to describe it. I was so excited for their wedding and it exceeded all my expectations. Beautiful church doors, small town theater with poka-dot doors, flashing lights on a police car, and a country road were some of the attractions for the day together. Merissa & Jay weren't afraid to be themselves in front of the camera for sure. It was one to remember!!!

Merissa & Jay, thank you for letting me join you for your magnificent day. You are awesome. Blessings to you both and your new chapter of life.

Corey












Yes I did get a police car pose for us too! The policeman parked his car and turned the lights on for us.












PS: I can't wait to put together their Storybook. It is going to be breath-taking. I will share for sure when it's done.

Welcome One Days Wages

I am proud to write about an amazing organization that launched today. Eugene & Minhee, who founded this organization are really good friends of ours. I'm excited about what they're doing & even more excited about partnering with them on many levels. Below's a note from Eugene about the launch. Please take the time to read it and also take part in the fight.

The numbers regarding extreme global poverty are overwhelming but there is some good news. There are already individuals and organizations around the world doing amazing work to fight extreme global poverty. We're not trying to re-invent the wheel but rather to collaborate and partner with others and inviting you to join this movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty.

We know that the issues are very complex but it’s also very simple:  It shouldn’t be this way and doesn’t have to be this way. In our lifetime, we can end extreme global poverty.
As I write this I think about the cup of coffee next to me and how much it costs. What's disturbing about it is that we don't think about what a cup of coffee costs us, we need it in the morning to get going. At least I have something to get going for right? Please take the time to spread the word and join the fight. You won't regret it.

Corey

PS: If you want a good cup of coffee go to the Q Café, they give 10% back to outside causes.

Happy 1st B-day Little Man!

To my little man,

Love,

Dadda

Unreal...Miracle, I say so....

This is unreal. Yesterday I was working on editing last weeks wedding on my MBP. It was 1pm, I looked at my clock and it said it was 9pm. I thought that was strange how can that be. So I hit restart on the computer and it wouldn't reboot. I tried everything from disk utility to disk warrior...nothing. So I transferred all my data to my iMac late last night (could still mount it as a firewire drive). This morning I decided to try to repair it from the iMac and still nothing. I hit restart on the iMac hoping to try once more connecting the laptop to it. You won't believe it, the iMac wouldn't reboot now either. What?!!!! Both computers with a gray screen and spinning wheels.... done for sure.

I decided to reinstall the MBP because the little info it had on it was on the iMac and I would go from there. Sitting and watching the system reinstall I still couldn't believe it. Even at one point I thought the install froze. When the install had finished I input all my new info and was hopeful for the fresh start. When the OS booted up you won't believe what I was looking at..... all my files in the same place as before. What?!!! It make no sense. Everything should be gone but not the case. What's even more unreal, I just gambled and reinstalled the iMac and it just did the same thing!

Can your PC do that?! :)

Corey

PS: Have no fear I always have multiple backups of all my images.

The Nedelisky Family

Meet the Nedelisky family! A couple weekends ago my wife and I went down to spend time with her family to celebrate 4 family birthdays (all in the month of October). My sister-in-law asked me if I would do some family pics for them. My nephew's are so much fun to be around and they didn't disappoint me when they were in front of the camera. In a span of 45 mins I captured so many true loving family moments for them. I got the nicest email from my sister-in-law after I sent them to her.
i could not have gotten a better email today! ...this week, month....decade!  Thank you so much for your craft and expertise and your eye for love in families.  you rock!  simona
You don't see much portraits here on my site but that doesn't mean I don't do them. I love them because it families that share deep true love, like my wedding couples. So don't forget this is a great time of the year to get your family photos done for the Holiday Season. You know all those Xmas cards and perfect presents for friends & family. Be sure to give me a shout!!!

For The Perfect Shot

I'm in the process of editing the images from this past Saturday's wedding and came across this image Val (my 2nd shooter) captured of me. Yes that's right I am on the ground in the middle of a pretty busy street. I will put myself in any position to get the right photo. Merissa couldn't believe I actually did this! We had to document the sweet shoes they both were sporting. More amazing images to come soon...

PS: I didn't even get my black cloths dirty either!

jenny + ernie... wedding

I have been eagerly awaiting Jenny & Ernie's wedding since we hung out for their engagement pictures early this summer. The day was more than I had imagined it would be; it was breath-taking!!! Jenny was absolutely stunning, Ernie was Ernie (if you know him you know what I'm talking about) :), and their celebration was one to remember. They got Married at St. Joseph's church and partied at Shilshole Bay Beach Club, two beautiful venues. One if the things that I loved about how Jenny planned the day was she gave us lots of time to capture images of her & Ernie and their bridal party. Here's only a handful have those moments that were captured (more to come for sure)....

Jenny & Ernie, thank you for letting me share in such a special day in your lives!

Corey













PS: I love long veils and stretch limos!
