About

I am a Queens based photographer living in Astoria, NY. I specialize in documentary style photography.

My goal when photographing weddings is to capture the story of the day. I’m just as interested in showcasing the small subtle moments and quirky personal details, as I am with documenting the big showstoppers. I find beauty in the imperfection and chaos that is a real wedding day.

Thank you so much for checking out my work!

So honored to have Corey shoot our wedding!

We loved working with Corey every single step of the wedding process. When we came across her photography we were struck by the artistic and human essence in her work. We found ourselves immersed in thinking about the potential stories behind each photograph. We were so lucky that she was available to tell the story of our wedding day. Corey is also organized and helped us feel very prepared for our big day. She worked well with our with our coordinator on timeline, etc... Corey felt like part of the family as she seamlessly moved about the home capturing precious and candid moments of the kids and family getting ready. The planned family group shots ran well and we even had more time than expected at the end as a breather before the cocktail hour. She made us feel so comfortable the whole time and when the final images came in, we were floored with how amazing the whole portfolio came out. The photographs truly captured how we felt that day. We HIGHLY recommend Corey and feel so honored that we were able to have her shoot our special day.

Beautiful, candid photos that capture the day

I knew I wanted Corey as my wedding photographer the moment I saw her photos. Nothing posed, no filters, just beautifully composed snapshots with personality. I knew she would get the moments that mattered most to me. We love our photos. Corey was also wonderful to work with as a human being—warm, kind, genuinely interested in getting to know us as people and capture our personalities. She only does a few weddings a year so consider yourself incredibly lucky if you are able to snag her!

Corey is the best!

When we were poring through portfolios during the planning process, Corey's immediately stood out. Her photographs feel fresh -- full of life, motion and wit. She has an incredible eye for character. I'm verklempt just thinking about how fully she captured the personalities of all these people we know and love, but who she met all of 15 minutes earlier.

On the day itself, Corey expertly led us through taking all the formal portraits our parents could ever desire, with minimal fuss. She's not the kind of photographer who insists that every last hair is in place; she's the kind who sees the happy, windswept daze you're in, and makes it into a beautiful photograph. (And she'll kindly nudge you to relax your shoulders.) She captured hundreds of moments we didn't get to witness firsthand -- a shy uncle absolutely tearing up the dance floor; a friend looking SUPER skeptical about some cocktail hour story -- and created images we find new details in, every time we look at them. Infinity stars for Corey!

The best wedding photographer for a mix of candid & posed - ever!

We loved working with Corey! From the start, she was communicative, and clearly passionate about her work, and we knew she'd be a great photographer for our wedding. When we got our photos, the mix of grouped portraits and mostly candids fit our style completely, and they were such high quality shots! Corey was clearly all over the place, getting shots the entire night, and we are just so happy with the end result. If you like putting your trust in well-deserving and high quality artists, Corey is your person. I'd recommend her to anyone looking in particular for outstanding, genuine and candid shots of your event.

Beautiful photography

Choosing a photographer was one of the most difficult decisions we made while wedding planning, and we are so, so happy we chose Corey as our photographer!! Corey is a photojournalist and that is reflected in her wedding photography. Her work is beautiful, and she did an incredible job capturing the emotions of the day. Corey herself is just a cool person to hang out with. She is down to earth and fun to talk to, and we felt completely comfortable being photographed by Corey (which is no small feat given how awkward I usually am in front of a camera). Hire Corey! You will not regret it.

Master Portrait Artist

Corey puts you at easy immediately and then quietly catches so may candid moments. She’s a pleasure to work with and a really talented photographer. Her photos really capture all the fun and love of our wedding. Definitely recommend!

How Does She Do It?

How does she do it? I have no idea. Going in, I thought that having someone take photos of me - in such an intimate way - would make me nervous. But Corey's humor, professionalism and calm demeanor made all the nerves go away. We actually had fun taking photos - even family ones! Corey is phenomenal, and I would recommend her to anyone who asks!

Our dream photographer

We knew from the beginning that we wanted a documentary-style photographer for our wedding, and the moment we came across Corey’s photographs online we both instantly knew that she would be our dream pick. Corey has a natural eye for beautifully composed yet organic and candid people photographs, which is exactly what we wanted to remember our wedding by, and all those candid moments between our guests that we weren’t able to see for ourselves. As we researched photographers we kept coming back to Corey, but assumed that she would be outside of our budget. Fortunately we did eventually reach out, and to our surprise she was not only available, but she also was willing to work with us to offer us a package that fell within our budget, so we immediately said yes.

From our first conversation, Corey was easygoing and took the time to listen to the aesthetic vision we had in mind for our DIY wedding, and helped us hammer out a photography timeline for the day-of through her extremely organized and helpful questionnaires, and through several phone meetings where she reassured us and gave her opinion on what would work best for our day-of timeline (whether or not to do a first look, when to take family portraits and couple portraits, etc.). She also offered a free portrait photography session a few months prior to the day, which was incredibly helpful. Despite us both being a bit camera shy, Corey exudes warmth and kindness and we quickly felt comfortable, forgetting that the camera was even there as if we were catching up with an old friend. The session really helped us feel at ease for our wedding day itself, like a kind of practice round, and the photographs that came out were BEAUTIFUL.

On the day itself, Corey worked some kind of magic and made all of our family members and guests––even the groom’s extremely camera shy father––feel instantly comfortable and at ease, getting natural reactions out of everyone during the family portrait session. Looking back at the photos she captured overall, it was clear that she was there for every moment throughout the evening, but during the night we were barely aware she was there. The photos she captured ran the whole range from detail shots, to portraits, to candids, and they were all incredible. We received a lot of positive feedback from our family about the photos, and it’s easy to see why: every facet of the wedding––romantic, wacky, touching––came through in her photos. It’s impossible to stress just how much we will value the images she took of our wedding, so the best thing we can say is that if you want candid photos of your wedding, book Corey and we promise that you will feel the same!

We had the pleasure of having Corey photograph our wedding (and engagement) photos in April! We were blown away by the work she did at a friend's wedding a couple of years back, and sought her services.

Her professionalism matched her sense of serenity in going with the flow of the afternoon and evening. We trusted Corey with capturing the 'moments' of the day that may have gone overlooked with all of the running around and seas of cameras at a wedding, and we were VERY pleasantly surprised to see that she had caught stuff that we- as the guests of honor- completely missed in the hubbub.

A nice mix of formal photos and candids, Corey uses bold colors and contrasts to make her photos pop and create a dynamic effect. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with her.

Perhaps the most endearing part of this (other than the anticipation before our First Look and having just a relaxed conversation to ease the buildup of nerves) was that Corey was really prompt in getting back to us at every step, including sending along photos that we didn't see in our initial roll and following up with a REALLY sweet gesture of sending us some prints from the day. A true professional, through and through.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
