    Amazing experience and incredible photos!

    My husband and I are so glad Cory was our wedding photographer! He was amazing from the first time I reached out and even now after we've received our photos. A friend recommended him after her wedding and I loved the style of his work. Each one is a work of art and they aren't like everyone else's standard wedding photos!

    He truly has an eye for incredible, thoughtful, beautiful photography and spends time exploring the settings to get the best shots. Cory went along with our non-traditional ideas and helped everything stay on schedule during our engagement shoot and wedding day. He made everyone he came into contact with feel comfortable and at ease.

    We're thankful that Cory captured our day so perfectly for us to enjoy the photos forever.

    Amazing to work with!

    Cory and Greg were the perfect people to work with throughout our engagement and wedding weekend. They made our time stress-free, and kept the focus on exactly what we wanted- capturing the love between and surrounding us. We cherish our pictures and wedding film so much! Thank you Afterglow Creative!

    Amazing wedding photos and videos!

    Cory and the team at Afterglow were fantastic for our wedding! Months before the actual event we sat down with Cory to go over what we were looking for in our photography and videography and he was so receptive to all our requests and ideas. He also offered his own creative ideas and we absolutely loved them. During our wedding weekend, he showed up early and was ready to go at each event. His ability to keep things fun and light hearted throughout were really great as we were looking for someone who was personable and charismatic. We would highly recommend Cory and his team for any event you have planned!

    Amazing Team!

    Cory and his team were amazing to work with! From the get go, Cory was very responsive and flexible. I appreciated that he set up some time for us to chat prior to the wedding so that we were on the same page regarding the schedule and events. There are so many events, rituals, and traditions that go into an Indian wedding and Cory didn't miss a beat - he captured everything! We loved all our photos and videos and can't wait to share them with our family and friends. I would definitely recommend Afterglow Creative!

    Highly recommended, phenomenal work, stellar guy!

    5/5 when it comes to Afterglow Creative! Number one thing we loved about Cory was how responsive he was when helping us leading up to our big day. We met with him face to face a few months before the wedding and he calmed all of our nerves. He is very patient, kind and understanding. Ladies, he is like a fly on the wall during the wedding day but captures everything BEAUTIFULLY. He showed us a teaser clip a few days after the wedding and we knew we were so happy to have decided to go with a videographer. Cory will work with you to make sure that he captures everything you want. He turned our wedding day into a magical film that we can’t wait to continue watching for years to come. Thank you Cory! Love, The LaBries

    Amazing work!

    Cory and his team were absolutely amazing!! I am so glad we had them do our wedding videography! Cory captured our wedding day perfectly and we are obsessed with our wedding video. We had only talked on the phone prior to our wedding weekend but when we met it felt like we had known Cory forever. He is creative, kind, enthusiastic and great to work with. If you want an expert photographer/videographer who is extremely talented, will decrease your stress level, and and is a true professional, contact Cory Tapia at Afterglow Creative! You won't be disappointed!

    Cory - such a gem!

    Cory is AMAZING!!! We loved having him as our photographer! He was actually the only photographer we met with and knew right after we met him that we wanted to book him. He is so much fun to work with, makes you feel super comfortable throughout your photo shoots, and is so sweet. He took our photos for both engagement and the wedding day - we are in love with all of them!! We highly highly recommend Afterglow Creative and can't thank him enough for capturing our wedding day!!

    Corey was absolutely amazing. He was with us every step of the way and was always responsive to questions. He worked with us to create the best package for out small, intimate wedding. He was excellent on the day of the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. His pictures were excellent and we just can't say enough of how great he was.

    I literally cannot say enough awesome things about Cory. Hiring him to be our photographer was one of the best choices that we made for our wedding. My husband and I got married in Columbus, OH, which meant that Cory traveled to town twice for us - once for engagement pictures and once for the wedding. That is a lot of logistics, but Cory was incredibly professional and communicative, which made it very easy.

    His pictures are STUNNING. I cannot get over how beautiful they are. The colors are exquisitely balanced, the composition is always lovely, and the angles from which he shot (Cory would climb up on chairs, or get really low to the ground, and generally move around very quickly, quietly, and efficiently to get the shots) made us look dramatic and gorgeous. Also, Cory's turn around time was ridiculously fast.

    Finally, Cory is just ridiculously nice and fun to work with. My husband and I were both a little shy about getting our pictures taken, but Cory made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. He was calm, competent, and friendly throughout the day, and he was very flexible when plans shifted due to rain. I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough - he is worth every single penny.

    There is not nearly enough time nor space provided here to describe the absolute passion Cory has for his work. His individuality and superb shooting and editing techniques speak for themselves in the photos provided here and on his website. He has a knack for making his clients feel comfortable in front of the camera and every shot is unique, interesting, and creative. I'd give him a million stars if I could, and recommend him to anyone and everyone that is looking for something amazing!!! Thanks so much, Cory!!!

    Cory was an excellent photographer to work with throughout the whole wedding process. He was patient in explaining our options and offering helpful suggestions where necessary to guide us in the right direction. He made sure that every detail was well planned out before the wedding events, and was accommodating enough during the wedding to go off-script in case we had any last minute ideas. Cory's team throughout the actual event were incredible, they were friendly and patient with all of the wedding attendees when there were pictures to be taken. We were very happy with the set of pictures that we got back. Cory and his team captured all of our events in entirety and we were able to get good photos of all of our friends and family that attended. In addition to the photography, the highlight video that Cory produced captured our wedding weekend perfectly. The video and editing is very artfully done and is of the highest quality.

    Cory and his team were a delight to work with from the time we contacted him for a pricing quote to the end when all of our pictures and materials were delivered. I would recommend Cory to anyone that is interested in a photographer or videographer for their events!

    The afterglow team of photographers and videographers was incredible! They captured every single event leading up to my wedding including the engagement photoshoot. Hiring Cory and his team was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. After a wedding is over, the photos are what is left to physically look at and the video and photos were nothing short of what we expected. The photos all have a different feel to them and from all sorts of angles and definition. Overall, Cory was very easy to work with and extremely understanding with any last minute changes. Would recommend to anyone that is on the fence or looking for a team that you will 100% be happy with.

    Afterglow Creative is absolutely amazing! we used them for our engagement photos, wedding photos, & wedding video. all of our photos turned out amazing & i honestly couldn't be any happier. Cory was so awesome to work with & made the entire process so easy & fun. my (now) husband & I had never had professional pictures taken and he took the time to explain the process, how the shoot would go, start to finish, & his wording for certain movements/poses - it was really refreshing to work with someone so eager & excited to work! his whole team was equally amazing the day of the wedding. everyone was so nice & friendly. all their ideas for our photos/ videos turned out great. i will cherish my beautiful photos forever. I could go on & on - to sum it up: use Afterglow for your photo/video needs-you will not be disappointed, they are absolutely amazing!

    Cory, is a true, dedicated professional in every sense of the word! His patience and thoughtfulness shine through every one of his gorgeous shots. The time and commitment he takes with each of his customers is most impressive. Whether it be, the grandest, most expensive wedding or just a one year old's cake smash. He is creative, unique, enthusiastic and great to work with. If you want an expert photographer that has heart, thoughtfulness and true professionalism, contact Cory Tapia at Afterglow Creative, and you won't be disappointed!

    Afterglow Creative was absolutely spectacular! We used them for our engagement photos, wedding photos, & wedding videos. Cory (the owner/lead photographer) was so professional and excited about what he does and getting the chance to work with Greg and me. He was willing to work with us on setting up a custom package with exactly what we wanted. He did an amazing job on our engagement shoot and we loved the way the photos turned out, he captured the feel of our relationship and did a beautiful job editing. As a graphic designer I understand the hard work that goes into editing photos and Cory is wonderful at it. His whole team was equally amazing the day of the wedding. everyone was so nice & friendly. All their ideas for our photos/videos turned out great, and when we had an idea for a shot they were eager and willing to try it out. Just like our engagement photos our wedding photos turned out amazing and captured the feel/essence of our wedding day. When we watched our video for the first time it brought tears to our eyes all over again. I have already referred them to a few of our friends who have gotten engaged and I will continue to do so because they are absolutely amazing and you will not be disappointed with them.

    Cory and his team at Afterglow Creative are simply amazing. I could not have asked for better people to work with on our wedding day. Cory captured our wedding day perfectly, not only through his photos, but through his cinematography as well. Afterglow Creative not only makes you feel comfortable, but they make sure you are having fun! They also not only make you feel like their top priority, but they help make sure everything runs smoothly for you on your wedding day. They ask your opinion for everything you want and make sure you get it. We used them for both photography and videography for our wedding. Cory also created a beautiful wedding website for us that housed all the information our guests needed to know for our wedding day. Afterglow Creative does an amazing job creating a wedding package that fits your needs. Cory and his team were the perfect combination of professional and fun. I had so many guests comment on how awesome our photographers and videographer were! We got our photos and video back in a very reasonable timeframe and we were included in everything through the video editing process to make sure it was exactly what we wanted! I will be using Cory and his team at Afterglow for any event or photography I need in the future and I highly recommend you do as well. You couldn't ask for better people to work with!

    We loved working with Blue Motion Studio to capture our wedding day. Cory was wonderful to work with and brought a great team of photographers to help him for our wedding day.

    We used Cory for our engagement photos and we got them back way quicker than we could have possibly imagined. We had so many great shots, we ran out of wall space to hang them all!

    He was willing to go the extra mile for us during the entire process. He helped us come up with a timeline for our entire wedding day. He also had recommendations for other wedding vendors that we were having a hard time finding or choosing. We never had to worry about anything. He had great ideas for photos and was willing to try out whatever specific requests we made.

    We can't say enough great things about him and the team he brought. We'd use them again in a heartbeat!

    Cory Tapia was able to crate the most stunning and creative wedding photographs during our April wedding at The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa! We loved the flexibility and price points of his wedding day packages! Prior to our wedding day we had several casual yet efficient meetings where we discussed logistics, floor plans, and created a "day of" itinerary. He was happy to travel for our wedding day and was actively taking pictures or scouting out creative locations from the start of my bridal brunch and all the way to the end of our sparkler exit! We were also able to squeeze in some amazing bridal portraits! Cory posted a few sneak peaks early the next morning of our wedding day that I was able to share with our friends and family before parting ways. Our wedding album was finished in a flash and I love that we own the copyrights of the photos! The number of high quality pictures we have from our wedding has made it a challenge to not go overboard in putting them around

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Cory was the epitome of professionalism. His attention and genuine interest to our preferences and wishes was unmatched. The quality of service and product we received made our wedding worth every penny spent. When it is all said and done, all you will have is the photos to remember the day and Blue Motion Studios captured our day perfectly and with style.
