y. I cannot say enough amazing things about him. He is the utmost professional, lovely, and positive person and he truly understood my vision and delivered. 10000000/10. BOOK HIM IF YOU CAN.

autiful wedding photos and an stress-free photographer experience!

ra that allows everyone, even those who "don't like taking pictures," to relax and be comfortable for the experience. A+ would work with him again and again.

ny great photos and candids that it was hard to choose which to print. And his prints are beautiful! Highly recommend!

ear, creative vision. Plus, he made us incredibly comfortable in front of the camera (no easy feat) and interacted with our friends and family in such an easy-going and natural way. The turnaround time on our photos was also unheard of (within the week!) and we could not be more happy with the result. Cory was communicative and responsive throughout the booking, lead up to the wedding, and follow-up. Truly had the best experience and could not recommend him more highly!

beautifully. The photos were not over edited and very natural. He has a very fast turn around time. I have zero complaints. I will 100% use him again in the future.

raphs I can say I'm so happy I found Cory. He was able to find the most stunning backdrops at our venue Race and Religious with stunning light, and was also efficient at getting our family shots as well. His style is timeless and it's so difficult to find that in wedding photographers. We also received our photographs back one week later which was insanely fast and the quality of work was super high. Everyone loved him as well and he was so easy going! Highly recommend

tention. We loved that the photos in his page would tell a story in different levels. His pictures have layers and depth. Even his portraits were dynamic. When we met, we knew he was our photographer. He is professional and friendly. We clicked immediately. He knows his city and was prompt to give suggestions and came up with a plan right away. His vision and his passion for photography were clear. He delivered a beautify, moment-detailed set of photos that we will cherish forever. Every photo from our wedding, from start to end, is meaningful. When we got the photos, we seated in our couch with a bottle of wine and watched the slideshow. The photos are so rich in details and emotions that it was like reliving the day. We are more than pleased with Cory’s photos. He is an artist and a gentleman. And he has a chill personality and a great sense of humor. Cory will not add any stress to you. On the contrary, he will do his magic smoothly and you will barely notice. We are very happy and grateful that we met Cory. Without doubt, we highly recommend Cory.

d and was very helpful navigating us through a schedule that was time/light sensitive in a city we love but don't call home. We didn't even think about some of the things Cory recommended, and we are so glad he spoke up when we were blindly bouncing ideas around. On our wedding day plans had to change last minute due to weather but Cory made sure we both remained calm and in the loop on his ideas, it was so reassuring to know that Cory had thought through our wedding day and planned for back up ideas in case of rain, things we foolishly didn’t even consider. He recommended a beautiful bar around the corner of our venue where he captured some incredible pre wedding candid moments between friends and family. Cory took some stunning photos of us walking and posing through the streets of the French Quarter, he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in-front of the camera in a chaotic environment. During the second line Cory went above and beyond even making sure the lights from the police escort weren't too close so our pictures wouldn't be covered in flashes of red and blue lighting, he was always thinking ahead. Throughout the evening Cory seemed to be everywhere without being in sight, the photos of us and our guests are amazing and just so beautifully shot. He managed to capture what we can only describe as pure love and happiness in our photos. We loved having Cory be a part of our day and are so thankful for his professional and easy to work with personality. He some how manages to stay cool, calm and collected whilst being so excited and hyped for everything. This is just one of many things that we feel sets him apart from other photographers who just show up and do the job, Cory showed up ready to create memories and beautiful artistic images. Thank you so much Cory!

e was also willing to wrangle family members and keep folks organized which was hugely helpful, and removed a lot of stress off our plates! The photos came out great and the turnaround time exceeded expectations. Our guests were all happy that they had a few pictures of them to look through, Cory & Co. made sure to make their way around each event and provide everyone with an opportunity for a photo, which meant a lot to our guests and of course made us happy as well. Cory was also up front and candid with us prior to the wedding about which services we would need if we wanted to capture every angle of our rather large wedding. We appreciated his suggestions and recommendations, and they were proven to be totally accurate after the fact.

dinate with. On the day of our wedding he and his team were prompt and efficient, mitigating any stressful situations by moving everything along according to schedule - you don't realize how much you rely on your photographer to keep the day on track. I feel like our photos came out so nicely because my fiance, our families and our wedding party felt relaxed and natural under his direction. He listened to any suggestions I had and accommodated my requests for specific shots throughout the entire wedding day and reception. His photos captured all of our wedding highlights and showed a wonderful variety of the wedding including our guests, venue, food and New Orleans. I didn't feel like anything was left out when we got our photos back - which were all available within two weeks of our wedding day via an easy to share website. Our friends and family were able to view and order any photos they liked. We have received so many compliments on our photos and our photographer and I would highly recommend Cory!

u be yourself and be comfortable. He captured the moments of intimacy as well as the moments of joy (and partying) and is able to transfer the feeling of the moment onto film. There was really no other option when it comes to photographers. Cory's mixture of an artist's eye, skill, experience, and personality are unparalleled. We're honestly having a hard time picking which photos we want to hang in our house because they're all so good.

out the entire process. He took all the guess work and stress out of the whole process, made sure we weren't worrying about anything, and was super attentive to both of our families. I'm also a photographer, and there was one point in the process where I slipped into the motions of telling people where to go and Cory politely stopped me and took it all out of my hands. From that moment on, I knew he had everything under control. His artistry shines through all of our images and he far exceeded all of our already high expectations.

perfect, and nothing felt staged or too "instagram-y." So many photographers we were looking at had such bright, bubbly, posed photos and we wanted more intimate, candid photos, like a photo-journalistic approach. And to us, Cory's photos stood out from all the other photographers out there. We were on a tight budget, and he worked with us and never pressed us to add more to our package. We appreciated how accommodating he was. I was worried since we were an out of town couple. I had plans of where we would take photos but I had never actually seen the places we were choosing in person. Cory assured me I had nothing to worry about (and I didn't). He was able to catch the perfect lighting, the best angles and was able to keep everyone excited and vibrant as we took pictures. A few weeks leading up to our wedding, Cory took the time to chat with me on the phone and go through my whole itinerary to ensure that we had plenty of time for all the photos we wanted. I couldn't believe the perfect shots he took in such a short amount of time. He is professional, calm, but excited at all times. He really made us feel like we were in great hands. What I appreciated the most was all of the gorgeous details and intimate shots he took of so many interactions. It really helped memorialize our special day." Groom's review: "Cory was AWESOME! He sent me a message via instagram the other day." He's right, you do feel like you are hanging out with another friend hanging around when you got Cory photographing you!

And he made our ideas even better. He communicated quickly and thoroughly. On the day of our ceremony, he was professional, creative and kind and made sure we got every image on our shot list. And then he showed us some images super quickly after and got the full batch (with tons of options) to us not much longer. I've heard a lot of stories about questionable wedding-photography situations, and I was relieved that our experience with Cory went so smoothly. I love my photos and would recommend Cory in an instant.

and ended up with the BEST photographer. Cory is responsive, professional, and made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On top of all of this, he took the best, most flattering pictures of our wedding with a touch of artistry that only he can master. We will cherish these photos forever.
