Corey Cagle Photography

ing process and photography. Corey’s professionalism made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy our special day while she captured every beautiful moment. Her eye for detail and creative approach resulted in stunning photographs that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer!

easy experience. 

dy photos to group photos and the ceremony and reception and brought out smiles and laughs throughout the day. We have TONS of pictures and they are all so beautiful! We can't wait to share all of the pictures with our friends and family for many years to come.

o her. From the moment we connected, Corey stood out. Not only is she a master of her craft (seriously, her work speaks for itself), but she’s also an incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful human being who made us feel so cared for every step of the way. Let’s start with the photos: WOW. We’re completely blown away. She captured everything—from emotional candids of our families and guests to those picture-perfect portraits that look like they belong in a magazine. Her attention to detail is unmatched; she noticed everything from the tilt of my head to a stray strand of hair, adjusted hand placement, and effortlessly guided us through every shot. In fact, one of our absolute favorite memories from the wedding day was our pre-ceremony photoshoot in front of the Biltmore—to be honest, we didn’t think it would be a fun process taking all those photos but actually thanks to Corey, it was one of the most fun, effortless, natural and enjoyable experiences of the day. We couldn’t stop smiling and laughing and it made us even more excited for the ceremony. But what truly sets Corey apart is her heart. Leading up to the wedding, she took time to hop on detailed calls, made notes about what mattered most to us, and customized the experience around our vision. When Hurricane Helene hit and forced us to postpone our October 2024 wedding to March 2025, we were devastated. Amid the chaos, Corey—who was dealing with her own challenges living in North Carolina—was one of the first vendors to personally call us since we live out of state. She reassured us, checked in on how we were doing, gave us real time updates on the situation and immediately committed to our new date. Her empathy and professionalism during such a difficult time, especially when she was going through so much herself, meant everything to us. Working with Corey was a dream from start to finish. Even though we live out of state, we’ll absolutely be flying her out for any future photography needs. She's that good. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will deliver not only stunning photos, but an unforgettable, joy-filled experience—you’ve found her. Corey is truly the best in the game.

had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement photo session and elopement. Her work is absolutely stunning and her personality is even better. She has an ability to make you feel like her closest friend within only minutes of meeting and that translates into the photos. I can honestly say we have found our forever photographer. A three and a half our drive is nothing to ensure all of our special moments are captured by Corey. Corey genuinely cares about her clients and her final product, I am still in awe of the images she captured.

photographer for my wedding with only 3 weeks left to the big day! Luckily my wedding planner has Corey on speed dial and quickly put me in contact with her. Corey was so nice and even gave up other plans to answer my SOS! Corey was communicative from the very beginning and was so professional and personal; she even worked with me to come up with payment options since I was still working on getting my money back from the other company. The day of, Corey showed up right on time, if not early, and she immediately ran through the game plan and got to work. She was directing posed photos while also getting candid photos and they all turned out SO wonderfully. Throughout the night, I had numerous guests come up to me during the reception and tell me how great my photographer was! Even before seeing any photos, everyone knew Corey was a wonderful photographer. After seeing and sharing the photos, I had many more people saying our pictures deserved to be in magazines - and they do because of the quality of work that Corey produces. What a huge compliment! We had mountains, motorcycles, dogs, cookie, and sweatpants and Corey knew how to photograph all of it! She got so many wonderful photos of our guests. She edited what I asked to be edited and gave us even more than we could have asked for. Do not pass on an opportunity to work with Corey, she is absolutely tremendous! I wish I could share my photos, but they keep failing to upload!

where to go and made sure we got all of the photos I wanted in all different locations around the Biltmore which of course is a very big property. She was always super responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process, not to mention how quickly she got the photos back to us. The photos were amazing and captured great shots of my husband and I along with family shots and friend shots, and all of us having fun at the reception. Highly recommend!!

work. I would definitely recommend.

ios, Corey was the clear choice for us! From me: I cannot say enough good things about Corey - she kept us on time, got every shot (and more) that I asked for, was responsive to emails, and, most of all, fun. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and even though we were just meeting for the first time, she made everything comfortable and was just so much fun to be around. Everyone who worked with her that day loved her! I would highly recommend her! From my husband: Corey was patient, kind, and understanding that there are men out there that don’t want 1000 pictures taken of them. Coming from someone who does not always enjoy that type of experience, she and Sean made it extremely enjoyable. Given that, she made this a tremendous experience for both of us. We love Corey and Sean and we feel so lucky to have had them as part of our team on the best day ever. We cannot recommend them enough!

eat job capturing our personalities and love for each other. The pictures are perfect. Thank you Corey!!

g from the first phone call and throughout the planning process. She not only is a master of her craft, but she truly cares about those she works with as she has a huge heart and incredible soul. She also got our photos back to us so quickly after our wedding. I truly couldn't have asked for a better way to remember our special day. Thank you, Corey!

s could be in a magazine! They captured every detail of the wedding at the Biltmore since it all seemed a blur (tons of pic...it took us over an hour to review). Looking at the pictures brought back all the feelings we were feeling in that moment......i cried! Highly recommended.

out the entire session, and her great energy made the experience even more enjoyable. She captured the beauty and elegance of the location, creating a timeless and romantic moment that we will cherish forever.

t said, she was never in the way and seamlessly captured each detail with ease and is truly skilled at her craft! She also had an assistant come and help who was amazing and helped capture photos as well! This was so awesome and included in the cost! She was so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, incredibly thorough, helped us coordinate a great timeline of what photos we wanted to get, and really captured every single photo and moment that my husband and I wanted. At times, I looked to Corey for guidance throughout the day and evening as she is incredibly talented at coordinating as well! She worked tirelessly the entire time and was calm, easy going, and so wonderful at getting folks to participate (even guests/family/friends who don't like their photo taken!) We are just in awe of every photo she and her assistant Sean took at our wedding. She was hands down the best vendor we worked with and best decision we made about our wedding. The cost was very reasonable and worth every penny as well! We highly recommend Corey to photograph any special event!!

n and Spa. While issues like hurricane Ian and many issues with our venue took place, Corey was an absolute constant that truly went above and beyond with her support and professionalism. Corey felt like another member of the family who just happened to have a camera in her hands. Coreys eye for details is truly amazing and we could not have asked for more! Our photos turned out beautiful and Aaron and I will cherish them for the rest of our lives, all thanks to Corey and her wonderful assistant! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a photographer who will bring nothing but her talents and joy to your big day!

y really went above and beyond our expectations. She was amazing to work with and worked so hard. Shawn helped out as Corey’s assistant and we were happy to work with him too because he was awesome as well. You can really tell she loves what she does and knows exactly what to do to get the best pictures! Her reactions to our pictures and how she would get emotional at times was so touching. They even took videos throughout the day since we didn’t have a videographer which was priceless and we are so thankful to have them! It was so sweet of them to do! They really helped out with everything and not just with our pictures and we are so appreciative for that! We also enjoyed working with her again the day after the wedding (we did not do a “first look”) where she captured beautiful pictures of my husband and I around the estate! We are so happy she was our photographer and we hope to use her again in the future!

en. I am so happy with our photos. She was always where she needed to be to get the good pictures. Her talent and experience allowed her to capture my daughter’s wedding in exactly the way we had all hoped she would. She’s also fun to be around with a calm, peaceful attitude.

he asked our preferred editing style and quickly delivered a gallery that went above and beyond our expectations. I currently have 100 photos favorited from a two hour shoot. My fiancé keeps talking about how much fun he had, and I usually have to beg the man to take a selfie. We are thrilled that we found Corey and can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding.

eel at ease, and made everything come so naturally. I was so nervous on how to pose, and she helped guide us to make it so effortless with BEAUTIFUL results!! Both of our families and our wedding parties loved Corey and are still talking about how much fun she was! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, do yourself a favor and book Corey. You won’t regret it!!

tion engagement photoshoot. We wanted a waterfall out of state destination shoot that incorporated specific aspects of our heritage and capturing our love for each other and nature. She went above and beyond to make this dream come true! From the first contact she was super responsive, communicative, transparent, very reasonable/affordable and shared our excitement and had great knowledge of our desired destination down to which fallen tree would provide a great background and the best time of day to capture the right lighting! When it came time to perform, she did not disappoint. She and her assistant were in time, prepared, attentive and met the challenges of an outdoor nature shoot amongst a powerful waterfall. She took her time to patiently and creatively direct us thru pur vision. The result....omg!.....photos of a lifetime!! We and our family/friends were blown away....looked like a fairytale book cover...captured everything we wanted to convey and more! Highly recommend!! She produced magic!

Our ceremony location was dimly lit and once again the photos turned out fantastic. Corey was so fun to work with and we’d recommend her 1000x.

with, we felt like we had known her forever. You will have one problem and the will be deciding which pictures to hang in your house and/or put in a photo album. Every picture we got is perfect and quickly ran out of words to describe our amazement with her work.

. The photos she took far exceeded our expectations and had them back to us in a week. Which was a nice surprise when we returned from our honeymoon.

d I had an amazing time with her. We have displayed many pictures already in our home and are so excited to get our wedding book back soon. Thank you so much Corey. You are truly amazing and have a great eye for detail. We look forward to using you in the future!! 😊

ay turned into a spontaneous event in NC. We are from Michigan and have never been to Asheville before; so, needless to say, we checked out many photography vendors without any bias attached. The communication among Corey and I for the short timeframe was professional, timely, and sincere. It was a bit nerve-wracking booking someone we did not know, in a city we have never been, and especially after losing money from our original wedding plans. She made the process smooth and reassuring; which is appreciated during these times. She knew the grounds of the estate like the back of her hand - which we definitely wanted since we had never been there! She was so patient throughout our day and captured many beautiful memories. Our gallery was uploaded within a timely manner and did not disappoint!!! I melt just looking at our photos. She truly makes you feel at ease when taking pictures... she provides guidance, but does not direct- which makes for more natural/intimate looking photos! I wish we lived much closer so she could do our maternity / baby / family photos! We would definitely recommend Corey, no doubt about it! 5 Stars from Sir Danté & Dr. Liss

recommended by the Biltmore wedding team. I was so impressed with Corey’s professionalism and how she captured the wedding so perfectly. Corey was so patient with our large family. I would highly recommend Corey as your next event photographer. My daughter also received her photos back quickly.

e our day go so smooth! She uploaded our gallery of photos in a timely manner and they are GORGEOUS! I cannot say enough positive things about Corey. My husband and I come from a small town where we know everyone so it was a big step to book a photographer we didn’t know personally. We felt like we had known Corey for years. I HIGHLY recommend Corey Cagle! Her work speaks for itself!

!

over. At the last minute we had to cancel the venue and Corey came to the rescue and helped get the Weaverhouse that had an opening!! The place was more beautiful than our original choice!! She is so fun!! She is in every place you need her to be just snapping away. After our daughters wedding she took the newlyweds up onto the parkway for sunset and snapped so much more than we could have imagined!! Love you Corey Thank you!!

ion I had. I did a photo shoot with her prior to the wedding, and instead of rushing to get it done, she allowed us to take our time and feel completely comfortable with her behind the camera. At the wedding, when all we wanted to do was say hello to everyone, she made sure to keep us on point to get these beautiful photos we're going to love and cherish for the rest of our lives (and she delivered them back to us so quickly and easily!). I cannot cannot cannot vouch for her enough, and can guarantee you that she will make your special day feel super special - even afterwards with the photos and the quality she delivers.

d time consuming, but Corey made it SO easy. From our first phone call, she was professional and knowledgeable, and made sure she knew exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photos. She was incredibly flexible- she took phone calls while on vacation to talk through wedding-day details and was always quick to respond to emails. Her flexibility persisted throughout our entire wedding day. She easily fit in with our loud/weird wedding party, but also worked incredibly well with our more reserved grandparents and older guests. She took picture requests when time permitted, but also knew when we needed to push on. She also has a knack for adding a personal flare. For example, there was a moment of comedic relief involving a very loud fire truck causing our officiant to pause mid-ceremony. While taking pictures downtown, Corey noticed a fire truck pulling into the fire station nearby and made sure we snapped a photo in front of it. Her candid photos are stunning, her attention to detail is impeccable, and she captured our personalities beautifully. I am SO happy with our wedding photos and cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Corey!

so comfortable around her!

s look natural and phenomenal. Her candid shots were amazing and she was able to find some very inspirational moments. She was incredibly responsive, she accommodated all of our needs, and she even helped this hopeless groom with my tie. She was also very unobtrusive in our special moments to the point I forgot she was there and she was able to photograph us perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough.

the laughter and the tears! She is the absolute best!

mend her to anyone !!!

a surprise at our wedding that provided us with amazing shots and memories that will last forever! Her laugh and smile really make you feel at ease in front of the camera! We will definitely have Corey take family pictures of us as we add to our family. After all, we feel like she’s a part of our family!

eone that was friendly and we would have fun with. Corey was just that. When we did our engagement photos, it was just as if we were hanging out with friends! All of the pictures she took were amazing and she took the time to really care about what we were looking for and what we wanted to get out of the photos. She was easy to coordinate with and great to work with. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome time and great photos.

ll how into the moment she would get when she'd get excited after taking a picture or capture a candid moment! All of our pictures are beautiful and we had such a fun time working with her!! We splurged on our budget to get her and we couldn't have been any happier! Absolutely amazing!

er 1000 pictures 5 hours from multiple vantage points. You could tell she was having fun while taking pictures and really cared about the people she was working with. We would recommend Corey Cagle to anyone planning a wedding in the Asheville area.

plans and to offer solutions if it rained. It did rain, and luckily it stopped and we had the most beautiful evening. We did not give Corey the best lighting at our venue, she fought shadows all night, but the pictures turned out beautifully! I highly recommend Corey.

e the moments to remember for the rest of your life (and make you look great while doing so!) :) She was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and would recommend her a million times over!
