Meet Cory – Owner & Photographer of Total One AP Photography

Hi, I’m Cory! I’m a husband, father, lifelong geek, and passionate photographer based in Raleigh, NC. Originally from Indianapolis, I traded in the cold Midwest winters for North Carolina sunshine—and brought along my love for family, creativity, and capturing unforgettable moments.

Photography isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. With over five years of professional experience, I’ve developed a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful milestones—from the excitement of engagements to the magic of wedding days. What I cherish most are the candid moments you don’t even realize I’ve captured—the ones that make you smile because they’re so honest and full of emotion.

I’m fortunate enough to share this journey with my amazing wife, who’s not only a dedicated therapist and an incredible mom to our two kids, but also my partner behind the lens. Together, we bring the heart of a husband-and-wife team to every wedding, blending professionalism with a genuine family touch.

When I’m not photographing love stories, you can catch me geeking out over computers, cybersecurity, anime, comics, or anything tech. But no matter what, my greatest joy comes from giving people something priceless: the ability to relive their special moments again and again through timeless images.
