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.

Audrey & Mark :: Wedding

Monday, January 11, 2010 Posted in Weddings

When it comes to beautiful ceremonies, this one takes the cake! This beautiful wedding began at Starved Rock State Park in Utica, IL. The ceremony and this exquisite church was located near LaSalle, IL. Finally, the reception took place at Oak Ridge Golf Club in Seneca, IL. As a Chicago wedding photographer I get the opportunity to travel to a lot of wonderful locations all over Illinois. These are some of the best when it comes to rustic beauty!

The natural light coming through the stained glass in this church was simply amazing. It allowed me to shoot without a flash and capture all of the shadow and light detail. What I love about this photograph is stunning shimmer of the gold wall.
