THAT
YOUR MEMORIES

...honest, intimate and full of heart.

As a destination wedding photographer, I am invited to travel near and far to capture the uniqueness of each love story and celebration. While I'm always refining my eye for shooting creatively, I also understand the importance of documenting the elements of your day organically, as they unfold. You'll feel confident knowing your gallery will include jaw-dropping portraits that feel natural. You'll have candids, filled with emotion that embody your unique personalities and showcase the connection to those you surround yourself with, along with every detail of your celebration from start to finish. All this while having someone behind the camera who feels like an old friend.

A FEW FAVORITES

- Kendra & Andrew

She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, gives great direction and hypes you up so much. I always feel so beautiful in front of her camera.

"Her images speak for themselves, but she is also an incredible person to be around."

- Jessica & Ryan

"Courtney is very organized and on top of things, yet also kind, personable, and easy to talk to. She was so encouraging and made me feel so beautiful, we felt natural and at ease with all the pictures. She captured moments I didn't get to see and it was so fun looking through those."

"We are so thankful for Courtney for capturing the joy of our day so beautifully"

- Taylor & Cody

I cannot say enough good things about Courtney. She’s absolutely incredible and I truly believe she’s the best in the biz! Not only is her work amazing but she goes the extra mile. She quickly turns around previews allowing us to relive these precious moments and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

"Not only is her work amazing, she goes the extra mile."
