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.

Wonderlicious Woods :: Ben & Emily

Thursday, June 24, 2010

I couldn’t tell you where this location was exactly. Our initial meeting place was going to be Gebhard Woods in Morris, IL, but when I arrived there the park was closed! Oh no! As usual I showed up about an hour early, so I started driving around frantically looking for another location. Ben and Emily had expressed to me that they wanted a nature “theme” for their engagement session. So I immediately thought back country roads, which aren’t in short supply in Morris. I came across this parking area in the middle of nowhere that looked as though there were hiking trails. I took a quick stroll and surveyed the area. This was it! A quick call to the happy couple and some, albeit, hazy directions and we were all set. Ben and Emily were great sports and we ended up getting some wonderful shots.
