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.

A Little R&B if You Please :: Monnea & Justin

Thursday, December 3, 2009 Posted in Weddings

I shot this wedding in August. It was surprisingly cool given the time of the year. The day started out overcast with some ominous clouds lingering overhead. I sent up a little prayer to keep the rain at bay and began shooting. It seemed as though the rain would hold off UNTIL it was time for the ceremony. Suddenly what was supposed to be an elegant OUTDOOR wedding turned into a little impromptu indoor one. That didn’t stop us from having a great time and capturing some beautiful moments.
