Amazing Photography!!!

Cory and Yamalia were both so amazing! We couldn't have asked for better photographers. They were dependable, easy-going and very professional. The photographs were better than we could have imagined and the videos were beautiful. They captured some of the best moments and we had such a hard time choosing our favorites because we loved them all! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They're such a great team!

AMAZING! Would 100% recommend!!

Cory and Yamalia were absolutely amazing. They took our engagement photos and wedding photos and they turned out perfectly. They made sure to take the pictures that we had requested. They attended to our needs and responded to all of our questions. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and accommodated for everything we asked for. We will definitely hire Cory and Yamalia for the next big occasion of our lives. Without a doubt, they are the absolute best!! We could not be any happier. Thank you Cory and Yamalia for making our day even more special.

Super Fun Husband and Wife Duo

Cory and Yamalia were authentically nice and very accommodating to our specific needs. We had to change our wedding date twice and they were very understanding. They went above and beyond with the number of photos they delivered along with some amazing Ariel photos. I showed my friends who paid way more for their photos and they were surprised with the quality of photos for the cost. You will not be disappointed if you chose Cory and Yamalia as your photographers! They are an amazing team.

Amazing Photographer!

Cory and Yamalia are such an amazing team. First, the complimentary engagement photo session was so great. Most photographers would definitely not do this, so this is a big plus. The photos from our engagement session and also our wedding came out beautiful. Cory and Yamalia were super flexible with scheduling and are incredibly responsive. They were by far our favorite vendor. Their friendly and positive energy made it fun to shoot with them and kept us feeling good throughout the day. They consistently went above and beyond what we asked, providing us with video footage (for a great value) and making sure they captured every moment of our special day. We would very highly recommend Cory and Yamalia for your event.

Wish I could get married again so I could relive my experience with Cory N Cates!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by Cory N. Cates photography!! Not only were they on time, they were also very flexible and receptive to my suggestions. I’m not very photogenic but my partner is, however Cory & Yamilia made me feel like a natural!! I highly recommend their photography service!!

Must hire!!!

Weddings, celebrations, birthdays, doesn’t matter, these guys can do it all! They were wonderful!!! I had these guys for my wedding and they were literally at my side though every moment! Nothing was missed! Every special moment was captured! I’m talking about the quality of package I received from them. My family and guests was impressed from what they received! From the scenery to the bridesmaids and grooms, to the parents and friends, everyone had their moment and it was beautifully captured. Thank you so much, Cates photography. We’re so very happy to have had your service.

Wonderful service! Extremely impressed!

These guys are amazing. When I say they got every moment they got every moment lol. I got pics and videos of moments that I swear they weren’t in the room for lol. I’m like what type of hocus pocus lol. They got the private moments the intimate moments and cute but not ready moments. Not just of me and my man’s lol but all the guest and family members. The quality of work of how everything was packaged together I’m telling you I definitely got every pennys worth and more. Definitely a life long customer for all my future events!!!

Wonderful Photographer

Cory and his wife are a great team and they ensured my wedding was captured beautifully. They worked with the other vendors to ensure good timing of photo shoots, showed up early, and provided great tips for poses. Cory always responded promptly and was very helpful throughout the whole process. I can't think of anything I would have changed!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
