Elissa Sent on 11/26/2023Beautiful, 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 Torpie Photography's reply:
Thanks Elissa!!! I had such a great time with y’all. Thanks for having me along for such an incredible day! Sending you both much love! -

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. -

Jenna Sent on 11/24/2019How 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! -

Meredith Sent on 01/26/2020Beautiful 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. -

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! -

Keith Sent on 07/21/2018We 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. -

Stefania Sent on 02/27/2018Five stars are not enough! Corey's photojournalist approach to wedding photography quickly caught my husband and I's attention and, once a year, Corey offers free high-quality wedding photography to a couple with a tight budget who give back to their communities. We still can't believe she chose us as the lucky 2017 recipients! From our first meeting, we felt at ease with Corey. She answered all our questions, provided practical tips to prepare for the day, and was very responsive to all our communications, pre and post wedding. On the wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable that any jitters we had about being photographed, quickly went away. Our bridal party still talks about how warm and lovely it was to have her around.
As for the pictures, I spent many hours on her blog and Instagram and loved how different it felt from other wedding photographers. She captured all the formal posed pictures, little details of the church and venue, guest pictures during cocktail hour, and so many wonderful candids through out the day. Corey has an amazing ability to capture and edit pictures that convey emotions and a story. Would highly recommend! -

User2540697 Sent on 02/23/2016Corey is a marvel. She's everything you want in a wedding photographer: knowledgable, friendly, engaged, and above all: focused on you.
My husband and I hired Corey while we were living half a world away in Australia, and she was one of the most accommodating and helpful people we experienced during our year-long wedding planning adventure. She fielded any and all questions we had, and made sure our day would be tailor-made to our specs.
On the day, Corey captured every moment possible in unique and beautiful ways. Looking back at a little video one of our friends made on his phone, it was unreal to see Corey right up next to my husband and I during the ceremony; we were completely oblivious to it. Corey knows how to capture perfect moments without being part of the moment. She has an aesthetic that we searched long and wide for before finding her incredible portfolio. Corey even drove us to our venue when we realised we hadn't booked a car from our hotel. You can throw just about anything her way, and she'll handle it like the obvious pro she is. She takes the time and care required to truly make your wedding day the most special of occasions.
Hire this woman. -
User2373284 Sent on 10/18/2015Corey is absolutely fantastic. 5 stars all the way. My husband and I took the process of choosing a photographer very seriously. We both wanted someone who could capture the raw emotion of the day, not in a traditional posed sort of way, but in that journalistic, emotive flair. And Corey and her assistant Lauren did that and more. We got marred this past June on the banks of the Long Island Sound. The wedding was non-traditional, a fusion of East & West, and Corey walked alongside us with grace, calm, and a willingness to try.
The photographs are absolutely stunning. Corey gently and precisely captured each moment, with the entire breadth of the day shown simultaneously in spectacular color and classic black and white. The photographs were exactly what we were hoping for, in fact well beyond our huge expectations. Her calm and certainty that everything was going to work out helped give us balance during what can be an incredibly hectic day.
Her photographs are a gift. We are so grateful.

User1773831 Sent on 08/20/2014I will start off by saying that I cannot recommend Corey highly enough.
Corey was absolutely amazing to work with from day one. She is super organized and friendly, and is so flexible and willing to do whatever it is you ask of her. We met a couple of times before our wedding to go over what we were looking for and Corey took it from there. She knows exactly what she is doing and is so professional doing it. We got so many comments from friends and family saying how they didn't even realize there was a photographer at all - Corey somehow managed to stay out of the way but also take so many incredible pictures of every single moment of the wedding.
And the pictures! We knew they would be great, but we could never have expected how absolutely stunning the pictures came out. I have never seen a photograph capture the energy of a room so well - and it was that way with every single picture! We did posed photos as well, which are so beautiful and we love all of them.
I can't say enough about Corey - she was so great to work with and her photos are truly some of the best I have ever seen (and that's not just because I'm biased!). If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further - you've found the best one out there!
