About

We’re Cory and Gia, your go-to Austin photographers with Cory Ryan Photography. Photography is a beautiful way to freeze time and document life. Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to find a new photographer for every milestone? Instead of wedding photos by one photographer and family photos by another – all shot in different styles – you had a reliable lifetime photographer to count on for it all. We’re here for you!

Our story actually begins with YOU – the people we photograph. We both started as wedding photographers over 15 years ago, but then something incredible happened. Over the years, couples returned for anniversary, maternity, and family portraits, and we loved staying in touch with our friends so much that we kept it up.

Life doesn’t stop after the wedding. In fact, it just gets better with time! So, we’re here to photograph it all. We promise to deliver the same timeless photographs we want for our own families — images brimming with personality and authenticity.

We’re here for the beautiful times, the challenging times, and the triumphant times. This is a safe place for you to come as you are and wherever you are in your adventure. Whether it’s your wedding day or your baby’s first birthday, we know there are no second chances to capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We bring all of our enthusiasm and dedication to every event or session we shoot.

As experienced photojournalists based in Austin, Texas, we’ve worked with every type of lighting and every Texas weather surprise. We’ve worked with everyone from newlyweds to newborns – and even great-grandmas, too. We excel in real-life photography so you can have the stunning images you deserve. Let us know what you have in mind – we look forward to meeting you! What are you waiting for? Let’s connect!

Love,
Cory + Gia

About Cory: As a mother of two awesome kiddos, I know how fast time flies after the wedding. It feels like just yesterday I was saying “I do” to the love of my life. Now here we are, buying elementary school backpacks! I love every part of my job because of the wonderful families I get to meet throughout the wedding process and beyond. There’s never a dull moment, and I’m here for it!

About Gia: I'm a hopeful romantic and I love a good story. These are the things that drew me to wedding photography. My obsession with details and my big heart for people help to bring an inquisitive eye and honest approach to my work.

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! 🙌🏻

Cory and Gia were amazing to work with. Super easy and the shots never felt awkward or forced. Leah and I would highly recommend them as the end results were awesome as well!

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.
