CONGRATULATIONS! You've found your photographer! Seriously though, stop looking. In all seriousness, here's the thing, you get one chance to capture your special day, the essence of it. You then have a lifetime to reminisce on it through the lenses of someone else, this is a BIG thing to entrust someone with and when I say Corey was the PERFECT choice to capture our love story in photo, we can't even put it into words. Corey and our photo team brought such a lighthearted calm to our day, he guided us through his creative mind, and the product of his work can only be described as pure art! If you want photos that aren't cliche, and leave you lost in the story they tell, then Corey is your guy! SO SO Much Mahalo, Corey! All the love, The Farmers.

Corey is talented, professional & kind! When our trip had a last-minute change from Maui to the Big Island, our original Maui photographer was able to grab us an appointment with Corey. He was responsive and chose a beautiful location for us. We were both nervous since this was our first experience with a professional photographer, but Corey made it so relaxed and fun! His artistic vision of where to stand and how to pose made it so natural. I am in awe of our photos because of his eye for detail. He stayed with us for well over an hour and captured photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, Corey! We now have these beautiful photos to celebrate our engagement and visit to Big Island, Hawaii. 10/10 for Corey! You should 100% hire him!
Photos attached here were taken by Corey and edited by our original Maui photographer (we wanted to keep some of the business with her since we originally contracted with her).

My fiancé and I had a fantastic experience shooting with Corey! He got the most amazing shots and we couldn’t have asked for a better engagement shoot!
Any questions?

Corey perfectly captured the vibe and aesthetic we were hoping for! Very friendly and easygoing- it was a breeze to communicate with him... And he surprised us with some unexpected captures that we are so grateful for now! Really impressed by our entire wedding album and would absolutely recommend him for your next photo shoot- especially if you are looking for some golden hour glam. Mahalo Corey!

Corey McCarley Photography was amazing through the whole process from inquiry questions to the final day of shoot. Corey is very easy to get in touch with and I really liked utilizing the portal to send notes, upload inspiration photos, and keep track of my invoice. He took beautiful pictures, and had the pictures back to us in the timeframe he committed to. We loved how all of photos came out and are thankful for all the moments he captured for our family. We would highly recommend!!

We hired Corey for our wedding at Kualoa Ranch and he was amazing.
He was great to work with and we are so thankful that we found him to photograph our big day.
We couldn’t be happier with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for not just a great photographer but a really good and easy person to work with.
Thank you Corey!!!

I’ve done a lot photoshoots and worked with a lot of photographers. You may like the photos but you never really know who you’re going to get for the ACTUAL shoot experience.
Cory made the experience fun & very personable; it felt like we had been friends
for years.
This helped to capture our real energy in the moment and helped to create the experience we wanted.
When you’re traveling to a new place like Hawaii, it is hard to know if the person you’re shooting with is going to make the experience worthwhile.
Cory hit it out of the park and the best part:
THE PHOTOS WERE AMAZING!!!

Corey was super fun to work with. He truly had a version going into it which made posing that much easier. While he has a vision he also made sure we had the freedom to do whatever posing we wanted to do. Overall a super great experience!

Corey made sure he was at the site early, and the pictures were fantastic. He also helped me find a coordinator to help with permitting.
Response from the Vendor on 05/05/2023
Lovely working with you guys :) Congrats on your beautiful family and wedding!

We hired Corey for our small bohemian wedding. I wanted someone who could capture spontaneous moments of joy as well more traditional shots. Corey did not disappoint, he handled fluid circumstances with humor and professionalism. The wedding guests thought we had known Corey for much longer. He maintained a spirit of aloha through the entire event. We were thrilled with all of the photos. Thanks to Corey we will always have lovely memories of our wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2023
Mahalo Cynthia! It was so wonderful working with you and Ken. Thank you for sending me home with cake, it was so good!! Best of luck to you two and hope to see you soon!

Corey was amazing! His energy, his professionalism, his phots, were all outstanding! Corey was so personable and fun to work with, on a day that really could not have been better. Corey took the time to really go with the flow of the day, he took the time to seek out those really memorable and exceptional spots to shoot, he took the time and made the effort to make sure that he captured all of the emotion and excitement, he took the time to help us capture our perfect day. We enjoyed having Corey around so much, he felt like one of our guests...we even invited him to stay we had such a good experience with him! Corey is an exceptional photographer and an amazing person. We felt that Corey's persona really helped us sink into our element (rather than posing for photos, which we obviously did as well) which made the photos so much fun, so many excellent shots of all of us interacting and having fun. Plenty of amazing staged photos, but what we liked most was how Corey felt like part of the family instead of "the photographer", and that made the photos so much more real, fun, and simply put, amazing! Thank you Corey for being part of our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2023
Alex!!! Thank you so much for the kind words. You and Gabrielle were like family immediately, and I really hope I get to come see you guys in Tahoe one day! Mahalo for everything

Corey did my elopement photos in Kona and I could not be happier. He did an amazing job and kept me in the loop as the progress of my photos. He was very easy to work with and captured all the photos I wanted and more. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting amazing photos of their special moment.
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2023
Mahalo Samantha! It was so great to share this intimate wedding experience with you and Mike. We absolutely scored that sunset that night! Take care and hope to see you on a future visit to the big island!

I was looking for a photographer during my stay in Maui and came across Corey who captured the most amazing shots for my engagement shoot. Corey was extremely kind, patient, had many great ideas, and was quick to respond throughout the entire process. My fiancé and I highly recommend him and would hire him again!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2023
Mahalo Lisa, It was so nice to meet you and Evans. You guys were so fun to work with and I hope we get to do another shoot in the future!
