About Me
Hi my name is Cory and I am a wedding and portrait photographer! On rare occasions you’ll find me in front of the camera as you can see here. When I’m not shooting, you’ll likely find me playing pc games (currently getting outplayed by kids on Fortnite) or working on scripts for my budding acting career (sarcasm, because it’s not budding… yet). I also enjoy thrifting and fashion (almost my whole closet comprises of thrifted clothing), and diy projects!
Background
Photography has been an interest of mine for as long as I can remember. My father used a 35mm film camera when I was growing up to capture family moments. Our drawers are filled with nostalgic prints from holidays to vacations to little league baseball. In middle school, I worked on the school newspaper both as an editor and photographer and subsequently worked with school publications both in high school and college.
Throughout my early explorations of photography, I retained an interest in documentary style photography. After graduating with a B.A Sociology and Psychology, I ultimately came back to photography and started working with local models to build a wider portfolio.
Today, I shoot a wide variety of subjects that include headshots, commercial, set stills (tv/film), and of course weddings!
