Cory went above and beyond for my family and I am forever grateful for the wonderful memories and moments that she was able to capture.

Cory is so amazing! She photographed my wedding this past May and we love the images so much. She was easy to communicate with prior to the wedding and made everything so seamless the day of. Even helping us find great photo spots in our resort. She went above and beyond for my family and I am forever grateful for the wonderful memories and moments that she was able to capture. I will never use another photographer!

Amazing photographer from a photojournalist

WOW! Cory did an amazing job with our engagement and elope-ish wedding pictures! We wanted someone that was creative, fun and could capture the moments. Cory was all of that and more. I don't mind getting my picture taken but my wife hates it and Cory made us both feel at ease and we actually had a good time at our sessions! Our pictures are stunning and something we will treasure forever.

Cory is a dream to work with!

Wow, where to start?! Cory and Gia were simply amazing -- two of our most favorite wedding vendors and we loved all of ours! I knew I wanted Cory to be a part of our big day right away because I had been admiring her work online but getting the opportunity to actually work with her was an absolute treat. She is warm, friendly, professional, prompt, and FUN! She and Gia hustled all day working to get the best shots for us. They were so cool, calm, and flexible, even holding babies and herding our five flower girls. And boy, they did not disappoint. The photos they captured are so dreamy, beyond our expectations. Our friends and family are equally thrilled with them -- I have never received so many compliments before in my life! We can't stop oohing and ahhing over them -- such perfect photos to capture the perfect day. We highly recommend Cory for your special day!

OMG phenomenal engagement photos!!!

I don't even know where to begin with the amazing experience we had taking our engagement photos with Cory Ryan, and particularly working with Gia. For starters we picked a really cold time to take our photos, and there was potential for bad weather. Gia was checking the forecast everyday leading up to the day we booked, and reassured us that even if we had to move the date back they would do their best to squeeze us into their schedule as quickly as they could. We decided to move forward on the day we scheduled and I'm so glad we did. We needed our photos sooner rather than later, so they knew we were working under strict time constraints. Even though they told us it would take 3 weeks to edit our photos, we had them in our inbox 3 days later!!! They put in extra time to get them to us faster. I could not have been more pleased with the results. As I clicked through each photo my smile grew bigger and bigger. Gia captured US in a way that I didn't even think was possible. She is a pleasure to work with, knows what she's doing, and makes you feel comfortable. I cannot wait to work with her and Cory Ryan again to capture our future life moments!!

Highly Recommend Cory Ryan Photography!

We hired Cory to photograph our wedding in April 2019. She was super easy to work with, quick to respond, worry-free, punctual, professional, and the best part is the photographs more than exceeded our expectations!! She captured the best moments of our lives in the most beautiful way while staying true to our personality as a couple. If you're in the market for a wedding photographer, we highly recommend booking Cory!!

Cory is the BEST

Cory and team consistently exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives. My wife is photogenic and loves taking photos but to be honest I hate it. But with Cory and Gia, we both had a great time and were able to get an incredible album of photos that we'll cherish for our entire life. They also got some epic shots of our friends on the dance floor that we'll likely be using as blackmail for decades to come.

Thanks again for everything Cory and team!

Engagement & Wedding Photos

Cory shot our engagement sesh and wedding and we couldn’t be happier with the photos! Her sweet and bubbly personality made us super comfortable and relax during our shoot so we were able to be ourselves. She had incredibly unique ideas on where to take our engagement pics, which was very helpful since we hadn’t a clue! At our wedding, her assistant and her were very stealth and captured the BEST moments without disrupting the party- which we appreciated. Cory captures very candid and special shots in the moment, which make for an amazing album. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I’ll be hiring her again in the near future, but this time for A BABY! 🙌🏻

Hiring Cory Ryan as my wedding photographer was by far the absolute BEST decision I made . Cory is so amazing that we hired her to take photographs for our engagement, bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. I guess you could say that we are pretty OBSESSED with her and our photos. All of our photos are exactly what we wanted and even better than expected! Our house is now filled with Cory’s photographs and quite literally looks like a shrine to her/us. My husband and I rarely take photographs together and definitely do not know how to pose, but Cory put us at ease, gave us honest feedback, and helped us navigate our way through our new found modeling careers. All kidding aside, Cory knows what she is doing and delivers gorgeous photographs, both posed and candid moments. We had a colorful, vibrant, and modern Cinco de Mayo wedding at South Congress Hotel and Cory truly captured every detail and moment perfectly. I do not care for overly filtered or dull photographs, so Cory’s vibrant, modern and eclectic style was a perfect fit for me and shines perfectly in all of our photographs. Not only are her photographs amazing, but Cory has the BEST personality and I genuinely enjoyed working with her throughout the process and especially on my wedding day. She put me at ease and most importantly, kept me laughing throughout our wedding day and during all of our other photo sessions. Cory also delivered our wedding photographs earlier than I was so grateful. It is a bummer to come back from your honeymoon but the wedding photographs in my inbox certainly made my day. Cory is near and dear to our heart and my family absolutely adores her too. I’m so grateful to have found Cory and look forward to using her in the future to capture all of our big life moments to come. Thank you Cory for being the best part of my wedding day (other than my hubby)!

I can't begin to tell you how lucky we were to have Cory photograph our wedding at The Winfield Inn and our rehearsal dinner at Vuka! We were not interested in cookie cutter / typical wedding photos and she delivered the type of modern, fun photos we were after. She and her assistant were able to get in the middle of things and capture the fun, candid moments. She is especially talented in finding the right compositions as well -- most all of them are frame-ready! The prints she delivered were just gorgeous, I loved her used of color and black and white. In the age where we can all "doctor photos" in our iphones, hers were just perfect. I wouldn't touch them (and I work in film!)
My one piece of advice is to definitely purchase her photo album package. She designed the most beautiful unique hard cover album I've ever seen. Everyone who comes over comments on how they have not seen a wedding book like ours. so worth the $$$.

Cory Ryan was our first choice in wedding photographers--we are so glad that we opted to work with her for our pictures! Cory was a delight to work with--available, flexible, open to direction and directing, and incredibly good at her job. She met us at a coffee shop for our consultation, and was available via phone, email, and in-person for subsequent meetings.

She showed up promptly the day of the wedding, and got so many wonderful shots. She was so kind and funny during the pre-wedding jittery period, and even offered to politely and effectively help us wrangle wayward guests who would have jammed up our schedule.

The pictures...THE PICTURES. They are so wonderful! She got so many great candid shots....everybody who has seen them has commented on how great they are. The colors are so vivid! The feelings of the day are so apparent! Everybody looks so happy and excited...we knew the shots would be good, but we didn't know just how wonderful it would feel to have our day memorialized by Cory and her assistant.

We simply cannot say enough good stuff.

Cory is absolutely amazing! We eloped (sort of) and had originally opted not to have a photographer at our ceremony, but at the last minute, things changed, and Cory was able to just factor it in to the originally planned session. We LOVE all our photos- they don't remind me of any wedding photos I've seen! Cory has such an amazing eye, is SO easy to work with, and we could not possibly be happier with how things turned out!

Cory is an amazing photographer! We hired her for both engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier with how they both turned out! Cory is so easy to work with- she is professional, organized, kind and full of great ideas. She was great at coordinating with us ahead of time to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted. She is also very detail oriented, which took some weight off my shoulders! We also got both sets of photos done way faster than I thought. Our photos are so beautiful and Cory's eye can't be beat. I would recommend her to anyone, not only because of her great skills, but her ability to capture great moments that really reflect the couple's personality.

Cory Ryan is hands down the best photographer in Austin!! She is so easy to work with, super organized and has amazing ideas! From the very beginning she made sure she understood the vision my husband and I had. In fact, she made it a priority. She's fun-loving, energetic and makes the process super fun. She also makes you feel comfortable and always makes you laugh!! We couldn't have been happier with how both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. What I loved is while she had so many of her own amazing ideas she was always open to new ideas. It's obvious her number one priority is making the couple happy. If you're looking for a modern photographer with pictures that are clean and crisp and sharp--she's your gal! We couldn't believe how many compliments we received on our photos. She always knows how to use the light to make you look as good as you possibly can on the big day-both natural light and when using a flash. She's easy to talk to and always gets back to you right away when trying to get in touch with her. I would highly recommend her--you won't be disappointed!

If you want fun, colorful photography, Cory is your girl - she's the best!

My wife and I are also photographers, and finding someone who creates joyful and vibrant photography is tough these days. The current fleeting trends are for moody and flat photography - but who wants to look drab and sad on their wedding day? We knew for years that when the day came, Cory would be our choice - it was a no brainer!

Cory photographed our elopement in NYC, and even came a day early to do a fun portrait session all around the city - the photos from both the session and our wedding day were amazing and exactly what we wanted! She is a master of all of the technical aspects of the profession as well, and she excelled even when the late evening light got challenging in the urban canyons and there was at least a 3-stop difference between shadow and sky! We love all of our photos and the prints now hang on our living room wall alongside our many cat photos, so we no longer look like super-weird cat people. Just weird cat people. Hire Cory and you too can have joyful photos for a lifetime!

Cory and her team are hands down amazing! Not only are we thrilled with the quality of the photos she took but we had a blast working with her. She has such a warm presence and energy, exactly what you want for your wedding day. She took so many candid shots that are full of emotion and capture the moment perfectly - candid shots that are actually worth framing - so rare! She worked with me to squeeze in a bridal portrait session the same day of the wedding and I could not be more pleased with how the photos turned out. I would recommend Cory to anyone and would certainly use her again!

I can’t say enough about Cory Ryan – she is FABULOUS to work with and has the most amazing pictures. When selecting a photographer I knew I wanted someone who was a little more creative than the standard wedding pictures while still capturing the classic wedding moments. We found that in Cory’s work and couldn’t be happier with all of our photos. She is fun to work with, makes you feel comfortable immediately, is creative and very personable.

One of the other things we loved about Cory is her albums and other products. They are so creative, lively and very well made with attention to the finest details. We now have works of art out of our pictures that we can put on our coffee table etc. Her quality is the absolute finest and it shows in her end product.

Overall Cory was extremely easy to work with from day one. She was very clear with her contract and flexible with customizing the package to what best fit what we wanted and our budget. She was quick to respond to anything that we needed and very thorough in her own information gathering to make sure she captured our wedding as we wanted. All of her staff and supporting photographers were incredibly professional and talented. I cannot recommend Cory Ryan enough! I can honestly say all the pictures from engagement photos to the wedding were a blast!

Now the challenge is to figure out which photos will make our wedding album…there are too many good ones!

We could not be happier with the images Cory Ryan captured of our destination wedding in Park City, Utah! Despite having never photographed a wedding in the snow, Cory's pictures turned out beautifully and we have received rave reviews from everyone who has seen them. She was great at keeping us on our schedule and managed to fit in all the photos we wanted on a very tight timeline! If you are considering having a destination wedding, I would highly recommend using Cory -- she went out of her way to scout out the perfect locations for all of our photo sessions, and we probably actually got more creative photos using someone new to the area than if we had chosen a photographer who shoots in Park City every weekend!

We loved having Cory as our wedding photographer! She was lovely to work with from the very beginning and was prompt in communicating details and important information to us. She understood our vision and was able to capture our special day perfectly! She has a wonderful personality/energy, thus it was a lot fun to work with her (which is key, as you will be around your photographer for the majority of the day!). She also kept us on schedule in regards to wedding party/family photos. I highly recommend Cory's services, as she creative, organized, personable, professional, and highly skilled! A winning combination!

Cory Ryan did an amazing job from day 1 including the bridal shoot and all aspects of our wedding. She kept regular contact with us well in advance of the wedding and was very organized leaving one less detail for us to worry about on our wedding day. Cory is very professional, punctual, creative, and truly seemed to care about what was most important to us. I was most impressed with the end product and after receiving all of our wedding photos, I felt like I was able to relive the wedding at a much slower pace. As everyone told us, try to take a step back and take it all in. Well, that seemed very difficult during the wedding as we were having too much fun. In the end, Cory captured the most important parts of the wedding and I felt the photos were a great representation of our wedding day and all it entailed. We enjoyed having Cory shoot our wedding and would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

I cannot recommend Cory enough! I really loved working with her and loved her professionalism and competence! The photos look amazing! I am not a photogenic bride and I felt like these photos really make me look great. My family and my husband and everybody just looked awesome int he photos and she captured some beautiful moments.

My advice to brides would be that you actually spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, the most important day of your life. And so you should pick someone who you actually like as a person and enjoy being around and I think Cory is incredibly likeable and fits that bill. Also, you are entrusting your photographer with the memories of your wedding. That is a HUGE deal. You want someone responsible who is responsive, has an office, answers emails quickly, has professional contracts, and makes you feel encouraged about your photos. I really loved that Cory got us our photos in a month and there are hundreds of them and they all look great.

Highly Highly Recommended!

Cory was the one part of our wedding I did not have to think twice about or worry about at all! I knew the minute we got engaged that I wanted her to be our photographer. Her smile alone makes anyone around her feel happy. I love every single photo she took and she truly captured the essence of what that day was about for us. I look at the pictures and remember exactly what was going through my mind at that moment. She is an excellent wedding photographer that I highly recommend!!
