Quoted in the New York Times

Sometimes life can be so surreal.  I’ve been writing Corey Talks posts almost since the beginning of my career and while a few have got more attention than others, it’s never been much more than helpful tips to my clients that they always tell me were so useful when they were planning their wedding.  A couple weeks ago I wrote a blog about Unplugged Weddings and that got a lot of peoples attention for some reason – I’m guessing because it’s a very polarizing subject – either you get it or you HATE it.  There’s not a lot of grey area there!

My blog post quickly circled the web eventually landing on the Huffington Post and about two weeks in my website had seen 100K visitors in that short span of time – unheard of traffic for a local photographer like myself.  It’s been pretty crazy to watch the stats!

When the New York Times called to interview me about an upcoming article about Unplugged Weddings after seeing my blog, I about fell out of my chair.  I kept it under my hat because you never know what will end up in print and luckily for me, my name (well, minus an a) was still in print and the blurb about me was lovely.  Whew.  So, here it is, the article in the New York Times that I was quoted in look for “Sneak Peek” for my blurb.  Needless to say, I’m stoked and still can’t quite believe it is real.

    This article is the main reason I am not a wedding photographer. I only do a few weddings a year for my favorite clients. I implore all brides to read this article.ReplyCancel
