Intentional by nature, I'm a soul drawn to the beauty in the details and capturing the connection between people.
I photograph weddings with the kind of presence that invites you to breathe it all in. The emotion, the elegance, the fleeting moments that become the heart of your story.
With me celebrating by your side, capturing your wedding day won't be rushed. There will be space to pause with presence, savor in the stillness and to sneak away for champagne toasts and golden light.
an artist creating imagery that is both elevated and grounded
in real life.
For couples who believe presence is the true luxury and want someone who honors that on the wedding day.

"We had the best experience working with Courtney! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. Our engagement session was so much fun, she was flexible, down for anything, and happy to let us explore multiple locations to capture the shots we wanted. On our wedding day, she brought the perfect balance of organization, fun, and calm energy. She made us feel completely at ease and truly felt like someone we wanted by our side on such an important day. We never felt like just another client, she made us feel like a top priority from beginning to end. We were so happy when we received our gallery, the photos are all incredible! She perfectly captured the emotion of the day, the little moments with our guests, and so many beautiful, artistic details. Every shot felt so thoughtful and intentional. Hiring Courtney was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She delivered our previews and final gallery so quickly, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!"

Courtney was an amazing photographer to work with. I’m so glad we found her to capture our wedding day. The images she created are beyond perfect. We can’t get over how many behind the scenes raw moment she got of us. We had no idea she was snapping a lot of the pics she got. (Some of our favorites!) Not only is she talented behind the camera - she makes you feel totally comfortable. You spend so much time with your photographer on your wedding day so it’s crucial to find someone who is easy to work with, and Courtney is just that. Photo taking isn’t really our thing, especially my husband, and Courtney made both of us feel so incredibly comfortable and natural, and it shows in our pics. Even our wedding party complimented Courtney for that. To us - that’s priceless. If you want someone who creates timeless wedding photos + makes you feel incredibly comfortable and candid + takes good care of you - she’s your gal! She’s so talented. I cant wait to cherish these photos forever. Booking Courtney was the best decision we made.

"In my opinion, her photos make everything look better than they did in real life. Your photographer is with you your entire wedding day, it’s important to pick one that feels like you’re hanging out with a friend. We booked with her after a phone call and even on our call, I could tell her personality was exactly what I was looking for!"
"Courtney is such an amazing photographer and PERFECTLY captured our wedding in the way I want to look back on forever."

I cannot say enough about how phenomenal Courtney is. Not only did she do an amazing job on our engagement photos, but absolutely rocked our wedding photos. She was able to get all of the different photos that my husband and I were wanting, with many more. Her personality just seals the deal on how great she is. Our guests even commented on how amazing she was with everything. If you’re looking for a photographer- look no further. Courtney is the best choice!
