GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hello and Welcome! I’m Corrin and I am a wedding and anniversary photographer based in Northern Virginia! I am so excited that you found me, and because I believe that getting to know my clients is the #1 way to ensure an awesome experience, I’d love to tell you a little about me! Here are a few things you should know!
I document love stories for the joyful, crazy in love, laid back couple. I'm a TV series junkie, a taco connoisseur, and a girl that dances in the car to almost every song! Oh yeah, and most importantly, I am a wife to my hunky and fun-loving husband and a dog mom to Lily, the cutest yellow lab out there.
Most days you'll find me on the couch in yoga pants and an oversized t-shirt with a messy bun and my pup in my lap. I live for the small moments, the small gestures, and the small acts of kindness that can completely transform your day. We only have one life, and I believe in making it count, eating brunch as much as humanly possible, and smiling whenever I can. Oh, and I strongly believe in a good nap. Always.
Being a wedding photographer is the best job in the whole world. I get to work with the most fun loving, beautiful, and COOLEST couples who are just as passionate about authentic moments as I am. So let's get started... I want to get to know more about YOU and how we can start planning the best day of YOUR life!
"Corrin was the perfect photographer for my husband and I on our wedding day! Starting at our engagement session and throughout our entire wedding day, Corrin made my husband and I feel incredibly at ease and really comfortable in front of the camera. She has such a sweet personality, is incredibly responsive, and has a great eye that gave us hundreds of amazing photos! She helped me develop a great day of time line, and really kept things running smoothly and efficiently the entire day! She even gave us a few sneak peaks during the reception, which was so nice to see :)
Hands down think she’s one of the best in Virginia and I would absolutely book her time and time again!"

"A wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors on your wedding day. Corrin, by far, was the best decision I made. I was between a few other photographers in the beginning, but after my first phone call with her, I felt extremely confident that she was the right person for us. The entire process was simple and easy for me because Corrin helps you plan and outline so much. Having the engagement session with her first made the big day flow smoother because we already knew the positions and styles she was going for. Aside from all the back end stuff, her pictures speak for themselves. They are STUNNING. It's clear she loves what she does! Everyone cannot stop raving about how awesome she was from start to finish. Corrin captured our wedding day way better than I could have ever imagined."

A wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors on your wedding day. Corrin, by far, was the best decision I made.
"What we loved most about Corrin is her genuineness and ease. We knew right away that she was the one for us. She is warm and made us feel comfortable, which is exactly what we needed on our day with 200+ guest. I knew that I would be feeling a lot of emotions on our big day and that I would need to feel comfortable with our photographer, as well as love her images. If you think about it your photographer is with you during all of the most intimate moments on your wedding day, so you want to connect with them and feel safe. Corrin was the perfect fit for us.
Overall, our experience was out-of-this-world. We have many of our photos framed around our house and also ordered a photo album through Corrin. For me, photography was the most important vendor. Corrin exceeded our expectations. We love our photos and also loved our time with Corrin."
- Mollie & Rob

Corrin exceeded our expectations! Couldn't recommend her more!
"Corrin is not only an incredible photographer, she is fun, easy-going, organized and kind. From my first inquiry, to the engagement session, to the wedding she provided amazing advice and support for the stresses of wedding planning. On our wedding day, her calm demeanor helped us to live in the moment and enjoy the small meaningful moments in our day. The only time my husband and I were alone during our wedding was when we were taking photos - Corrin made sure to help us enjoy the time we had together as new husband and wife. Corrin captured photos that depicted our love and emotion that we will cherish forever. To this day, family and guests continue to rave about how kind, professional and fun Corrin was. She truly made our wedding day more meaningful and we are so thankful to have had her as our photographer for our wedding! Corrin was one of the first vendors we booked and one of our best decisions! We have gained a forever friend."
- Sara & Ryan

Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her!
"Corrin is absolutely amazing! I am so happy that we made the decision to have her capture our special moments! She is amazing to work with, very responsive, and constantly working to make us happy. It was chaos for my wedding day and it rained, but Corrin made me feel at ease. She reminded us about why we were there and brought us so much joy throughout the wedding. I would choose Corrin again and want her to capture every special moment in our lives. Corrin has an eye for everything and you can always trust her to capture everything you could ever want. Corrin will become your lifetime photographer and friend! Best decision of our lives!"

Best decision of our lives!
Working with Corrin was such a great decision. From the first phone call, it was clear that we clicked--she's warm, funny, and so easy to talk with. Our engagement shoot had to be postponed a few times in the summer of 2020 due to COVID and other scheduling issues on our end, but Corrin had the brilliant idea of us doing a "married couple" shoot instead of an engagement shoot after our wedding, which was so relaxing and wonderful! On the day of our wedding, I was very thankful for us to have someone so calming, friendly, and professional to guide our day. Most importantly, our pictures came out so beautifully--they are truly stunning. She's incredibly talented, and just an all-around great human being. You will not regret hiring her!

After you book, we’ll schedule your engagement session. And don’t worry, I’ll teach you EVERYTHING! I thrive at helping my couples get comfortable and feel like themselves. After the first 20 minutes of your session, you will be pros. Even if you think you’re not photogenic or if your fiancé “hates having pictures taken”, you will be killing it after 20 minutes have gone by! That’s all the time we need to get rid of nerves and start capturing the joy of this new season of your life together! After your engagement session, you’ll be featured on the CJ Blog and will also be sent your online gallery of images to download and share however you wish.

albums
Handcrafted Albums are the perfect way to remember your wedding day
Your first decision as an engaged couple is to set priorities for your wedding planning. You have to decide what you value most. Is it the dress? The food? The venue? As a past bride AND photographer, I believe that couples should make their photography a top priority. After the big day is over, you will leave your reception with a spouse & your pictures.... that’s it! All of that planning and preparation is over in a matter of hours!
20 page 10x10 album
Linen: $950 for Linen
Leather: $1150
Additional 2-page Spread: $50
So if you’re choosing to invest in high quality photography, those images deserve a classy, elegant home after the wedding. I offer high end, linen and leather bound Legacy Albums for my wedding clients. The images are printed straight onto the pages and the covers are wrapped with top of the line linen. This is the perfect ending to The Wedding Experience and it’s a keepsake that you will be showing your children and grandchildren one day!

engagement sessions
After we make everything official and you all become a CJ Bride and Groom, we can start planning your engagement session!
My engagement sessions are included in all my collections for a purpose! You'll realize soon after your inquiry call with me that we are going to become lifelong friends, so with all new blossoming friendships, we gotta hang out. And no better way than at your engagement session!
These sessions allow the three of us to meet, get to know one another, and become the best of friends! My goal at the end of each session is for you two to have fun and focus on why we are doing all this in the first place... You're getting MARRIED! And have no fear, I know how it feels to be in front of the camera, it's a little nerve wracking, but I got you. I'll tell you exactly what to do, so at the end of the day, you'll receive images that you absolutely LOVE! And then on your wedding day, you are going to feel like pros, and your fiance will impress you with his modeling skills!
Your wedding images will be filled with moments and memories that you love and it all starts with the engagement session!
What's your shooting style?
I love being both interactive and discreet throughout the
wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will need to be in control in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done while staying on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there. (The ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) I teach my couples how to pose, model and interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from me!
faq
Do you have a second shooter?
All my collections include a second shooter! This is something I highly recommend and encourage my couples to book because my second shooter is there to capture everything I can’t. They will be with the groomsmen for getting ready while I’m with the bridesmaids, they will be sure to capture the groom’s face up close during the precessional while I’m photographing the bride walking down, and they will be shooting cocktail hour while I’m doing family portraits and bridal party! It’s also an awesome insurance policy knowing you have two people capturing all those important, once in a lifetime moments!!
faq
How many hours do you recommend?
This totally depends on your wedding day, how many locations are involved, and if you want me to capture your exit! I don’t offer anything less than 7 hours because I want to photograph your day the best I can from the beginning to the end. I am there to tell your story and being there from getting ready to the reception is important for me to do that! I would say 7-8 hours is average to ensure I’m there for everything. Full Day Wedding Coverage is for the people who are either doing an afternoon ceremony and still want me there to the end of the night or just want to ensure we have as much time for pictures!
faq
Do you travel for engagement sessions and/or weddings?
Yes, Yes, YES! I am more than willing to travel for any and all shoots! I actually love it when my couples ask me to photograph them in a location that means something special to them! I've gone everywhere from Hawaii to Ireland!
I book engagement sessions at least two months in advance and 60 miles of travel are included.
