In the world of love stories, there's one chapter that deserves nothing less than extraordinary. My vow to my couples is simple:

I vow to document your celebration beautifully and memorialize your story and connection; to preserve the details and in-between moments, bring out the best in you and create photos that you feel every time you look back and reminisce on your celebration.

Storytelling imagery that stands the test of time infused with sophistication, connection and refined romance, all with a documentary style.

the WEDDING EXPERIENCE

Refined romance

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 absolutely include those jaw-dropping portraits that feel natural. You'll have candids and all the in-between moments that embody your personalities and connection, 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.

If you're considering booking Courtney - this is your sign to DO IT! She is incredible. Her images speak for themselves in how good her work is, but she is also just an incredible person to be around. 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. Could not recommend her enough!

"Courtney is very organized and on top of things, yet also kind, personable, and easy to talk to. She really made the process so easy and was always ready to answer any questions I had. 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. Overall, we are so thankful for Courtney for capturing the joy of our day so beautifully and for giving us photos we will enjoy for many, many years."

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, she goes the extra mile. She blogs after each session allowing us to relive these precious moments and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We love her so much and now she’s stuck with us for the long haul!
