Hello & Welcome!

I'm going to start by letting you know that I'm a huge supporter of marriage equality and am thrilled that the law in Australia has finally changed. Love is Love! 🌈

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to consider me as your wedding photographer.  Have a look around and be sure to get in touch with any questions.

Over the past decade, I’ve captured big weddings, small weddings, backyard weddings, intimate elopements and everything in-between.

I love telling stories through imagery, and my goal is to create beautiful, fun and natural memories of your day, without getting in the way.

Of course, I’m happy to give you some guidance if you think you'll need it, and I promise I won’t make you do anything cheesy or awkward!

If you connect with my work then I'd love to hear from you - drop me a line and let's catch up for a coffee, hot chocolate, beer or a wine!

Corey.

Consider this

Your wedding photos are one of the most valuable investments you'll ever make...

After the cake is eaten; the guests have gone home; and the flowers have wilted, your images are all that remain after the day is long gone, and will be the only way to relive your memories, and share your special day with future generations.

Camille & Liam thought it'd be a good idea to drive up to the top of Mount Buffalo for some photos on their wedding day. We were a bit short on time, so they jumped into my car (Audi S3) because it would get us all there quicker than the wedding car (1956 Bentley). So, off we went, me driving rather spiritedly to make the best use of time, with @oneheart_studios following close behind... well, not that close really! 🏎.............................🚗 🤣 What either of them failed to tell me is that Liam suffers from car sickness! 😧 We're only driving on one of the twistiest roads in Victoria, in an Audi S3, kinda fast! They didn't tell me until we were heading back down the mountain. Liam suddenly said "Mate, we've gotta pull over. I'm not feeling so good. Stop. Now!" So I pulled over and Liam may or may not have done a little spew on the side of the road. 🤢 Don't laugh. Poor Liam. Sorry mate. . . . . . . #coreywrightphotographer#brightwedding#gapsteadwinerywedding#gapsteadwinery#vichighcountry#countrywedding#mountbuffalo#melbourneweddingphotography#melbourneweddingphotographer#yarravalleyweddingphotographer#daylesfordweddingphotographer#morningtonpeninsulaweddingphotographer#weddingphotographer#instawedding#realwedding#documentaryweddingphotography#postthepeople#loverly#belovedstories#weddinglegends#wanderlust#wedphotoinspiration#thatsdarling#lookslikefilm#theknot#radlovestories#loveauthentic#livethelittlethings#loveintentionally#

You may have heard that Melbourne wedding venue The Willows closed its doors without warning just under 2 weeks ago. What you might not know is that 64 couples who had booked the venue for their weddings had no warning at all, and have collectively lost $323,000 in deposits they'd paid 😢. They won't get a cent of that money back, beucase the owners of the business are $1.3 Million in debt! 😳 You can help though. A campaign has launched which is accepting donations that will go directly to the affected couples. The funds will help them get back on their feet securing new venues, and allow them to hopefully enjoy their planned wedding days, rather than the nightmare they're going through at the moment. SImply Google "MyCause The Willows Fund" to reach the page, or click the link in my bio. Any donation, great or small will help, so thank you in advance. 🙌🏻 #thewillowsmelbourne #thewillowsclosure #thewillows #willowsevents #thewillowsfund #thewillowscause #charity #goodcause #mycause #mycausewillowsfund #pleasegive #givingisgood #goodkarma

Meet Cesia (89) and Abram (94), Grandparents of Nastassja, the bride at a wedding I photographed a couple of years ago. I fell in love with them instantly, and no doubt you will too, for they're the cutest, kindest, most adorable people you could ever meet.⠀ ⠀ I want to share their story with you, over a series of images. It's a story that will break your heart, but it's one that has to be told...⠀ ⠀ Part 1. ⠀ ⠀ “All we had when we came to Australia was each other.”⠀ ⠀ Neither had a home. Both had lost their parents. Cesia had lost her mother and father in August 1944. She was 14. Abe’s mother died the same month. His father had perished in 1942. Both knew their parents had been taken from them to die among a shivering herd of concentration camp inmates forced to stand naked in a shower block until the taps were turned on and the gas came out.⠀ ⠀ Abe had grown up in Lodz, Poland, three blocks from Cesia. She was four years his junior, a shy, quiet girl. He was an athlete, small but strong, with a fierce sense of social justice that, in anti-Semitic prewar Poland, often landed him with a black eye. The two never met as children, not even when their families were forced to leave their homes for the Lodz ghetto, where they lived streets apart, sporting the same Jewish Star of David; both hungry, both scared.⠀ ⠀ They saw death for the first time in the ghetto. He saw children thrown from second-floor hospital windows. She saw guards shoot grandmothers. Having only known love, hatred came as a shock to them.⠀ ⠀ - continued in the next post -
Part 2. See previous post for Part 1. ⠀ ⠀ One by one, their friends disappeared. Cesia and her family were loaded onto a cattle train and taken to Auschwitz concentration camp on August 23, 1944. Abe and his mother arrived at the death camp six days later. Both teenagers were separated from their parents and made orphans the day of their arrival.⠀ ⠀ They survived on stale bread and dreamt of potatoes. Nine months later the Allies bombed Berlin and Cesia and Abe were free.⠀ ⠀ They met in Belgium at a social club. Cesia was 16 and Abe 21. Both were anxious to make up for lost time. “Abe was playing table tennis when I walked in,” Cesia says, patting her husband’s hand. “He was so handsome: curly blonde hair, green eyes, a nice looking boy.”⠀ ⠀ “To tell you the truth, I only glanced at her,” Abe deadpans. “I was in the middle of a game.”⠀ ⠀ He liked her smiling eyes. She admired his intelligence. It was two months before he dared hold her hand; another month before they kissed. Cesia leans forward, cups a hand around her painted lips and whispers, “To kiss a boy was not something a nice girl did in those days‚ but I did want to kiss him. And when he kissed me, I liked it.” - continued in next post -
Part 3. See previous post for Part 2. ⠀ ⠀ They married in 1947, as soon as Cesia turned eighteen, and arrived in Melbourne in 1951, with 10 pounds in their pocket. Cesia looks around her plush living room, at the lace curtains, faux-glass chandeliers and zebra-print dining chairs, and smiles. “When we started our married life I wanted to kiss every little thing we bought: the towels, the knives, the forks. We didn’t have much, but we had each other,” she says, planting a kiss on her husband’s forehead.⠀ ⠀ Cesia got work as a dressmaker; Abe ironed clothes for a living. They rose at dawn, worked a 12-hour day, and spent their evenings out with friends. “We wanted to soak everything up. We went out till two in the morning, to the theatre, concerts, and dances — nothing was enough for us.”⠀ ⠀ They wanted to be happy. “Hate destroys people,” Abe says, “and if I had come to the marriage bitter and vengeful, that hate would have spilled over and destroyed the people I love. Sure, we had seen terrible things, we’d lost our homes, our friends and our families, but the thing the Nazis hadn’t been able to take from us was our ability to love. Love had helped us survive and we knew without this love, life would be empty.”⠀ ⠀ (continued on next photo)
