I am a documentary photographer from Queens, NY. I have been photographing weddings and families for over 15 years.
My work is defined by an intimate approach, achieved through a practice of building trust with my clients. I create photographs that are energetic and saturated, with a focus on the couple in their community. By focusing on small shared moments and moving with the flow of the day I am able to create a collection of images that reflect how the wedding day truly felt.

Client Testimonials
"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!"

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”
