Skyryder Photography

When planning my wedding, I knew there were certain things that I wanted to devote the majority of my budget too. Obviously the venue, food/drinks, photography and flowers. I wanted to be able to look at my pictures and remember all of the fun I had. After meeting with a few different photographers, we knew that Corey was the right choice for us! She was extremely professional but was also really fun! Corey and her assistant were on time the day of my wedding….actually they were early. They were so helpful and calm during our craziness trying to get ready that it actually calmed me down. It was great knowing at that moment that I didn’t have to worry about the pictures, I just knew they were going to be great. I would totally recommend Skyryder photography for your wedding, you won’t regret booking her!! Another thing that we love about Skyryder is the access and ordering from the gallery. It was so easy to pick out the pictures we wanted prints of and it was really easy for our family members to do the same. We were so happy with the work she did (and how awesome of a person she is) that we are booking her for future family photo sessions.

Skyryder Photography is the absolute BEST choice in the NRV. Corey has photographed both my daughters for their senior sessions and was the photographer for my daughter's wedding. During the wedding, Corey and her second shooter caught special moments that we would never have known even happened! They were punctual, professional, creative and personable and we didn't want them to leave at the end of the night!

Corey was amazing for our engagement and wedding pictures! She captured my vision perfectly and is incredible to work with. Thank you times a million Skyryder Photography!

Corey and Erin were so wonderful to work with! So effecient, and their work was stunning!

Corey was professional and responsive throughout our planning process. She initiated getting the information she needed to do a thorough job and ensured that she was aware of special details we wanted captured. Corey had great techniques for capturing natural photos and genuine smiles. Our special day is well documented and we are very pleased with the final product. Highly Recommend!

Cory is the absolute best! She did my daughter‘s engagement photos and wedding photos at the Greenbrier resort this summer. We could not be more happy with the results! She is professional, flexible, and personable, her relaxed manner kept everyone calm throughout the process and she managed to capture such beautiful shots without ever being Intrusive. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Corey and her assistant were great to work with and we are incredibly happy with the moments she captured. The day she shot our engagement photos it was incredibly windy and cold outside but you wouldn't be able to tell from the pictures. Somehow she managed to make it look like a totally calm and sunny day and we are very happy with them. The wedding day she and her assistant were very stealthy during the ceremony, but still captured the most incredible up close shots. Her assistant even helped cut the cake because my husband and I forgot to hire someone to do that, but he stepped in and took care of it! My husband said that he was creative in the shots he told them to pose for and they turned out great! The only reason I took it down a star is because I felt a little put on the spot when taking the pictures and Corey asked us what we wanted to do and how we wanted to pose... I had so many other things going on in my head that I couldn't think of many poses besides the standing there and smiling. I wish she had made more suggestions than she did so we would have more variety in our pictures, though she did get enough that I am happy with what we have. My suggestion would be to not only have a list of the groups of people you want captured, but the specific poses, as well, so that on that day you're not having to remember the poses you wanted. One other reason I took a star off is because she did not bring two cars with her or prepare for her own transportation to the ceremony location. My husband was getting ready at the church and I was at another location. Her assistant dropped her off where I was and then left for the church and so when it was time to head over to the church she had to ride in the back of our car with my mom, dad, and two sisters/maids of honor.... it would have been nice to just have a minute of privacy with my closest people....having her in the back seat slightly took away from that special moment and made it a bit awkward. Other than that minor thing, I would highly recommend Corey. She was very artistic in capturing beautiful angles, editing, and brightening the day, but did not over-edit to make us look fake. It was perfectly done and we are very happy with the product.

I knew about 4 years ago before even getting engaged Corey had to shoot my wedding after stumbling across some photos she had taken where I would eventually get married. I particularly loved her work shooting outdoors. Corey is really a gifted photographer. She is the perfect balance of professional and personable and flexible. She made the whole process feel so natural and comfortable which really allowed us to take our best pictures, especially with something that can be so awkward she really made us feel like we had known her for years! Our pictures came out more beautifully than I could have imagined and I am so happy to have booked with Corey.

Corey was exceptionally flexible with all our requests for engagement and wedding photos. All of her photos look amazing, and captured the essence of our day. Corey is fun and easy to work with- my husband and I felt a bit awkward about the private engagement session, but she quickly made it fun and natural. I appreciated the low profile that she and her second shooter were able to keep during the ceremony and reception. Honestly, I don't even know where they were all day/night to capture such great shots. I highly recommend Corey. She does great work for a more than fair price; it's clear she loves what she does! Thanks Corey!

Corey is a gifted photographer. She is the perfect balance of professional and personable. She makes the whole process feel so natural and knows how to navigate weddings very well. I wouldn't have entrusted anyone else with our engagement, bridal, and wedding photos. My husband and I will cherish these photos forever!

Corey was so much fun to work with. My husband and I had a wonderful time during our engagement shoot last fall. She let us have fun with it and captured the goofy moments perfectly. Our wedding photos were even better! We did our first look and wedding party photos before the ceremony. They turned out beautifully even though it was 94 degrees at the end of April. Corey and her second shooter, Marica Walters, captured some great sweet and funny moments. They took wonderful photos of our ceremony and reception. They seemed like they were everywhere at once. The candid shots during the reception turned out really well. We also really loved the photos they took of us right after we were married. Corey had all sorts of fun things for us to do to help her get some great photos. I truly love all of my wedding photos! Corey was able to get us our photos really fast, which was nice since I was able to share them with friends and family while the wedding was still fresh in people's minds. We highly recommend Corey and would definitely hire her again!

Corey at Skyryder photography was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. She captured out day beautifully, truly go to know us as a couple when she did our engagement session, and made our big day so special. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos!! Thank you Corey, we highly recommend her!!
