About Corey McCarley Photography

For the past 15 years, I’ve poured my heart into photography and visual storytelling. I’m a one-person studio, so you’ll work directly with me from planning through final edits. I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, maternity, and family portraits, and also offer aerial, nature, real estate, and event photography and videography. Whether it’s a golden-hour session or a road trip adventure, I’m inspired by color, life, and the small details that make your story unique. My style leans classic and nostalgic, inspired by the timeless feel of film photography. My goal is to make your experience fun, relaxed, and worry-free so you can be fully present while I capture the moments you’ll want to keep forever. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to talk about your vision.

Corey is a vey nice and affable person. Our family of 9 (three generations) was extremely pleased with the final photos and his ability to capture our experience at a beautiful location north of Kona. His finished product of an album of almost 100 photos were all exceptional and professionally executed . We would work with him again !!

We got our family photoshoot done by Corey and got really beautiful family pictures. He was also very friendly and patient with the kids as well. I highly recommend him.

Corey was so nice to work with and helped us create beautiful memories when we were on a family trip to Hawaii. We have a lot of little kids, and Corey was so flexible, patient, and nice to work with. He was easy going and had a sense of humor, and really worked with us both during the photo shoot and after (when I asked for a few changes). If we're ever in Hawaii again, I'm definitely going to look him up 🙂

My fiance' and I were traveling to Hawaii for a vacation. At the last minute, we decided to wanted to do a photoshoot for our business and website to capture the landscapes going into the summer season. I reached out to Corey and he was extremely thoughtful with the direction he thought we could take the shoot. With photographers, sometimes it can be hard to get into a rhythm and find a common vision of what you want to see, but with Corey it was EXTREMELY easy. He is personable and most importantly, does great work!
