    The best photographer you will ever have

    Cory was wonderful and made capturing our day so magical. He is professional and takes the most gorgeous photos. I wouldn’t choose anyone else!

    Incredible!

    I spent hours and hours trying to find a photographer that would match what I was looking for - capturing the day but in the most candid, classic way and having received our photographs I can say I'm so happy I found Cory. He was able to find the most stunning backdrops at our venue Race and Religious with stunning light, and was also efficient at getting our family shots as well. His style is timeless and it's so difficult to find that in wedding photographers. We also received our photographs back one week later which was insanely fast and the quality of work was super high. Everyone loved him as well and he was so easy going! Highly recommend

    Loved working with Cory for our wedding!

    Cory photographed my sister's wedding so I knew I wanted to work with him again when I got married. I planned my wedding from out-of-state and found him accessible and easy to coordinate with. On the day of our wedding he and his team were prompt and efficient, mitigating any stressful situations by moving everything along according to schedule - you don't realize how much you rely on your photographer to keep the day on track. I feel like our photos came out so nicely because my fiance, our families and our wedding party felt relaxed and natural under his direction. He listened to any suggestions I had and accommodated my requests for specific shots throughout the entire wedding day and reception. His photos captured all of our wedding highlights and showed a wonderful variety of the wedding including our guests, venue, food and New Orleans. I didn't feel like anything was left out when we got our photos back - which were all available within two weeks of our wedding day on and easy to share website. We have received so many compliments on our photos and our photographer and I would highly recommend Cory!

    STUNNING photos for an amazing value!

    Bride's review: "We decided to go with Cory first and foremost because all of his photos looked just so MEANINGFUL. Every photo looked like an intimate moment, the lighting looked perfect, and nothing felt staged or too "instagram-y." So many photographers we were looking at had such bright, bubbly, posed photos and we wanted more intimate, candid photos, like a photo-journalistic approach. And to us, Cory's photos stood out from all the other photographers out there.
    We were on a tight budget, and he worked with us and never pressed us to add more to our package. We appreciated how accommodating he was.
    I was worried since we were an out of town couple. I had plans of where we would take photos but I had never actually seen the places we were choosing in person. Cory assured me I had nothing to worry about (and I didn't). He was able to catch the perfect lighting, the best angles and was able to keep everyone excited and vibrant as we took pictures. A few weeks leading up to our wedding, Cory took the time to chat with me on the phone and go through my whole itinerary to ensure that we had plenty of time for all the photos we wanted. I couldn't believe the perfect shots he took in such a short amount of time. He is professional, calm, but excited at all times. He really made us feel like we were in great hands.
    What I appreciated the most was all of the gorgeous details and intimate shots he took of so many interactions. It really helped memorialize our special day."

    Groom's review: "Cory was AWESOME! He sent me a message via instagram the other day."

    He's right, you do feel like you are hanging out with another friend hanging around when you got Cory photographing you!

    No Need to Look Further... Choose Cory James Photo!

    When planning our wedding, my husband and I made a list of our top three wedding priorities, and at the top of both of our lists was a good photographer. We chose Cory James Photo and ended up with the BEST photographer. Cory is responsive, professional, and made me and my husband feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On top of all of this, he took the best, most flattering pictures of our wedding with a touch of artistry that only he can master. We will cherish these photos forever.

    Exceeded already high expectations

    Cory's body of work is spectacular! Needles to say, I had super high expectations going into our Wedding. I cannot express enough how thorough, and detail oriented Cory was throughout the entire process. He took all the guess work and stress out of the whole process, made sure we weren't worrying about anything, and was super attentive to both of our families. I'm also a photographer, and there was one point in the process where I slipped into the motions of telling people where to go and Cory politely stopped me and took it all out of my hands. From that moment on, I knew he had everything under control. His artistry shines through all of our images and he far exceeded all of our already high expectations.

    Amazing service!

    Cory was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. Both proactive and planning out good backdrops/ideas of his own while also accommodating all of our requests. He was also willing to wrangle family members and keep folks organized which was hugely helpful, and removed a lot of stress off our plates!

    The photos came out great and the turnaround time exceeded expectations. Our guests were all happy that they had a few pictures of them to look through, Cory & Co. made sure to make their way around each event and provide everyone with an opportunity for a photo, which meant a lot to our guests and of course made us happy as well.

    Cory was also up front and candid with us prior to the wedding about which services we would need if we wanted to capture every angle of our rather large wedding. We appreciated his suggestions and recommendations, and they were proven to be totally accurate after the fact.

    Cory was the best and made us look great

    My partner and I had a great experience with Cory. We reached out to him with some * big * ideas and he was immediately down to figure out with us how to accomplish what we wanted. And he made our ideas even better. He communicated quickly and thoroughly. On the day of our ceremony, he was professional, creative and kind and made sure we got every image on our shot list. And then he showed us some images super quickly after and got the full batch (with tons of options) to us not much longer. I've heard a lot of stories about questionable wedding-photography situations, and I was relieved that our experience with Cory went so smoothly. I love my photos and would recommend Cory in an instant.

    Cory and Steven are awesome! They photographed my engagements, bridals, wedding ceremony, and reception. Cory was extremely flexible with both meetings and photo shoots. We encountered rainy days for both my engagements and bridals, and Cory worked around it all. The turn around times for both the engagements and bridals were SUPER FAST. I got tons of compliments on all of my images. Cory made my fiance and I feel so comfortable during our sessions and gave excellent direction to avoid awkward picture poses. On my wedding day, my girls and I were running behind schedule and Cory & Steven did a great job of working around the delay. I was very pleased with their services and highly recommend them to anyone in need of photography services!

    Cory and Steve are the best at what they do. They are so much fun to take pictures with and always make you feel comfortable, even traveling out to work our destination wedding. The quality of the photographs that they put out is second to none. Cannot recommend Sharper Photography enough!

    Cory was so great, as well as his second shooter, Steven. We haven't gotten our pictures back yet, but I've seen one edited photo and saw a few unedited ones throughout the night of the wedding...wow! My brother is a photographer as well, and now I see why he pushed me to hire Cory. They were super accommodating and easy-going...I couldn't have asked for better!
