Naperville Wedding | Chicago Wedding Photographer | Destination Wedding Photography bio picture

About Corlis.

As far back as I can remember, I always had an "interest" in photography, but interest alone wasn't motivating enough to make me pursue it as a career. Then, on July 8, 2004, something amazing happened. Seven pounds of inspiration was handed to me in the form of my first born.

I immediately went out and bought a "pro-sumer" camera. Suddenly all that inspiration turned into obsession. I found myself constantly snapping away trying to document every second of my daughters growth. I didn't want to miss a second.

I realized quickly that I had a natural talent for composition and lighting. And so was born Corlis Gray Photography. That love for capturing those beautiful moments of my baby girl matured into a strong desire to share my gift with soon to be wed couples.

I would be honored to be YOUR wedding photographer. So head over to the contact page and drop me a line. :D

I currently reside in Naperville, il. I am extremely blessed for my passion and career to be one in the same.

Not Just Another Walk in the Park :: Tim & Madison

Monday, June 21, 2010

It was about 11 am. I started packing up my camera bag with all the essentials…you know…camera’s, lenses, flashes, cards. I headed out for a quick brunch and ran some errands.

Sounds like a normal day as a photographer. I headed out at about 2 to scout the area where I’d be shooting Tim and Madison’s engagement session. Little did I know I’d be driving around for the next 2 hours back and forth past the very place I needed to be. LOL. Nobody’s perfect right? Good thing I left 2 hours early.

Enter Gebhard Woods in Morris, IL. A pleasant little treasure trove of green foliage and manicured lawns. We had a great time hiking and getting a little dirty to get some great shots
