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!

PS: I love long veils and stretch limos!

Fishing with Peace

This past weekend I did what I grew up doing.... I went fishing!! I've lived in Seattle for 10 years and this is the first time I went out fishing. I can't believe I waited for so long. My father flew in from Denver for the weekend, so early Friday morning with my brother-in-laws, Mike & Kyle, we all hit the river. The photo above was the early morning light on THE spot. For 6 hours I was out in the water with fish jumping around me and peacefulness in the air. Catching fish after fish was awesome and the perfect pre-wedding relax day. I am going to have to make this a routine for sure.

PS: Stay tuned for the images I got the next day at Jenny & Ernie's wedding - Breathtaking!

greg + brittany... wedding

This past Saturday I had the honor of being a part of Greg & Brittany's wedding. The weather was a typical Seattle rainy day but we made the most of it and had a great time. The most beautiful images happen in the simplest of moments. Their wedding was so much focused on them & their love and sharing that with their closest family and friends.

Many blessings to you guys. Thank you for letting me share in your special day!

Corey





PS: I used to hate shooting in the rain but now I love it.

Backyard Fun

Yesterday had a little fun with the boys out in the backyard. We have to take advantage of the nice weather while it's still around for sure. This is the first photo of Katey & I in a long time. We seem to always take pics of the boys. I better work on that! :)

PS: You can see that my boys like to put stuff in their mouths.

Shooting with Jim Garner

If you follow me on twitter you will know that this past weekend I had the opportunity to shoot with one of the coolest guys around, one of the top 10 wedding photographers, Jim Garner. When he asked me to shoot with him I was surprised and excited all at once. If there was one photographer in the industry that I have been following and feel like I connect with the most, it is Jim. One of the things that he really takes pride in is sharing his knowledge with young shooters (all shooter too) in the industry like myself. His recent website launches are goboda.com &  livegoboda.com which has tools to help shooters from shooting to editing to presenting wedding stories. I will first hand say that if you haven't picked up his training DVD Vol. 1, you should. He teaches you everything from shooting a storybook wedding to creating beautiful, award winning albums. If you are starting out or feel like you are up against a wall, go buy the DVD you won't be disappointed.

Unfortunately I have not images to share with you from this epic wedding we shoot. So be sure to check out his blog for the amazing wedding story we captured. The bride and groom were a blast to shoot. Their energy in front of the camera lead to tons of stellar images. This is one story you won't want to miss.

David & Heather... Wedding

David & Heather had an amazing, intimate wedding. From the beautiful Parsons Garden on Queen Anne to the perfect Seattle sunset on the Sound at Ray's Boathouse. Many blessings to you! Thanks for letting me be a part of your wonderful day.
