Courtland Captures Everything!!!

From the very first Google Meet to finishing our wedding album, Courtland made our experience not only one of a kind, but fun and memorable. We absolutely enjoyed all the time we had with him, his crew, and the extra hours he took with us to make our album complete. We knew after the first call that he was the one. It was his professionalism, charisma, and love of his art.

He does not push; he does what you want to do while offering his creative eye to really showcase your event. He is trustworthy, honorable, and a man of his word. He loves what he does, and you see it not only in his work but also on the day of our wedding. My husband and I, our families and our wedding guests all enjoyed him and his crew. They captured so many wonderful moments of life, family, and love that we cannot express enough just how happy we are with his work and the rapport we built with Courtland.
He personalizes your experience with getting to know you both through the google meets, questionaries to learn more about you both, what you both want for your event and what you want out of his work. Our Reveal day to review our wedding photos was truly a wonderful experience!
We will definitely be in touch for future events and will let others know about him and the amazing work he does!

DREAM Photographer

Courtland was my DREAM wedding photographer. When we were looking for wedding photographers, I remember looking at his portfolio and being wowed by how he sees the world. He is truly a visionary who sees the world in such a unique way. He focuses on documenting the emotions and realness of the day which resulted in a masterpiece of wedding photos. Along with the photos, he has such a warm and caring personality. He made every moment of shooting feel comfortable and care-free. Definitely don't sleep on this photographer! He's truly one of the best.

Absolutely worth it

Courtland was amazing. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined and really captured the story of our wedding day. Anyone could look at our photos and feel like there were there. He is worth every penny and I highly recommend him for your wedding day.

Trust us, you want these forever photos

There is no pressure like the Find-The-Perfect-Wedding-Photographer pressure, amIright? Lucky for us, we had been following Courtland’s work on social media for years and knew he had what it took to check all the boxes on our Wedding Photo Wish List.

The big question mark? He resides in Northern California, and we were getting married in the bright lights of Las Vegas.

Turns out, the “question mark” wasn’t really a question mark at all. Courtland immediately hopped on a call with us and chatted through our dream itinerary. He was flexible, walking us through all possible options to ensure we felt comfortable and taken care of - even before we officially signed on.

…And signing on was the best decision we could have made.

As a more non-traditional bride and groom with a space/desert themed venue in Las Vegas (yes, you read that right), we asked for a mix of funky, non-traditional photos, with some of the more traditional wedding shots mixed in.

Man, did Courtland deliver.

Without question, Courtland managed to capture EXACTLY what we wanted. Even in the pouring rain, he led us through 3 different Las Vegas locations professionally and effortlessly. Courtland quite literally turned rain into rainbows, managing to transform nightmare weather (it does not rain in the desert in November, they say) into our most magical, cherished shots.

From the very first message to the final gallery, Courtland was lightning-fast to respond, engaging, and — most importantly — genuinely excited for our big day.

And the final photos? Unreal. His unique style and attention to detail blew us away — creative, artistic, and so very us. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about them and how well he captured the authentic Trevor and Angela.

Trust us when we say: hire him. Your future self (and your photo album) will thank you.

Courtland is that guy, look no further.

Courtland was a fantastic photographer and the perfect choice for our wedding. Not only was he professional, he felt more like a friend and guest of the wedding. The best thing I can say about our experience was the love he has for his craft, he was genuinely excited when he captured a great shot. It’s great to see someone love what they do, and also be so talented at it. I have only seen a few preview pictures so far on his viewfinder, and already I can tell these are going to be some fantastic wedding photos (I will be sure to add them once we get them). We plan to have Courtland take our family photos for years to come, and would suggest him to anyone.

Best photographer we could have asked for!

Courtland added so much joy and ease to our special day. He was professional, fun, and put my wife and I at ease during our pictures. He captured magic on our wedding day that we'll be able to cherish forever.

Absolute gold!

Courtland is amazing to work with, he helps build your vision into something greater than you could ever imagine. Very helpful with deciding what fits best, but also his history questionnaire helped take the photos even further. Even one on one meetings with him he remembers not just you, but your story. Definitely wish I could give him more stars!

Creative & Elegant

We were drawn to your portfolio because of your incredible ability to capture both candid, in-the-moment action shots and beautifully composed, creative posed photos. Your work felt vibrant, genuine, and full of life—and we knew we wanted that same energy reflected in our wedding day.

Thank you so much for being such an important part of our wedding day. Even before seeing the photos, we’re already so grateful for your presence and energy. So many of our guests commented on how fun and engaging you were — it really added to the joy filled atmosphere of the day.

We truly appreciated your professionalism, creativity, and the calm, positive energy you brought to every moment. You made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and we can’t wait to see how you captured it all.

Thank you again for everything. We’re so excited to relive the day through your lens.

Courtland and his team were so fantastic to work with! They go above and beyond every event, with such a great eye for scenery and techniques that really make couples stand out. Their unique sense of style paired well with our unique venue, every image was flawlessly executed. Now we have amazing photos we can use for wedding promotion for years to come! I'm definitely looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Courtland is a real photography professional. I say that because I work with a lot of photographers that get good photos, but at the expense of the event. Courtland knows how to get amazing photos while not being too intrusive with his camera or flash. His photos are great and he is friendly, creative, and quick on the fly. I recommend Courtland to any couple looking for photography!
