Professional & Talented Photographer!

Courtney was an easy "yes" when booking a wedding photographer. Her bubbly personality and soft prompting made us feel right at home, leading to natural poses and somehow photogenic faces ;). Her assistant, Erika, mostly handled the groomsmen and my husband was so thankful for her small talk and calming nature before our first look. The engagement and wedding photos were absolutely STUNNING and we can't thank them enough for capturing our special day!!

Courtney is the Best!

We feel so lucky to have been able to work with Courtney for our wedding! We are absolutely obsessed with all of our photos - they are GORGEOUS! She did an amazing job capturing our special day, and we loved all the ideas she had and the variety of shots she took. She is the absolute sweetest and gave us great instructions since we weren't used to getting our photos taken professionally. She is friendly, kind, communicative, and professional and played a huge role in making sure our day ran smoothly and on schedule. It is very obvious that she has tons of experience in this industry, and we would highly recommend her!!

5-Stars - Love Courtney!

I have had the privilege of working with Courtney a few times and she is SO good at what she does. Her talent and ability to capture beautiful images seems as if it comes so naturally to her. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but her people skills are phenomenal. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone in the market for a wedding photographer!

Incredibly Talented and Professional!

We found Courtney through our friends' wedding and boy is she AMAZING! She's very responsive and professional, while very personable and gives off great energy. She makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera and gives timeless photos. She did our engagement, my boudoir, and our wedding photos and I'm so glad we chose her to capture this very special time in our lives!

Hire courtney!

I cannot emphasize how helpful it was to have someone as experienced and professional as Courtney on our wedding day. She came early and was prepared for anything, from wardrobe snafoos to unpredictable wind and weather. She and her team were energetic, friendly, and fun to have around, which made our wedding day even better (and relieved any stress around getting ready/being on time/taking photos). She was able to keep everything on schedule, even with our huge wedding party and families. Also, we were particular about the types of photos we wanted and are camera-shy… we spoke to Courtney a few weeks in advance of our wedding about this and she did a great job at making us feel comfortable and capturing exactly the types of photos we wanted. Lastly and most importantly – the final photos were absolutely beautiful. Courtney and her team did a fantastic job capturing shots of everything from the tiniest details to the big picture. Courtney was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding and, we would highly recommend her for both!!!

I love Courtney so much! She was so fun to work with and really pulled our personalities out in her photos. We used her for engagement and wedding pictures and wouldn't have it any other way. She is so sweet and personable; you'd be sorry not to select her as your photography vendor!

My (now) husband and I spent more hours looking for the right photographer than anything else for our wedding, and I'm glad to say the hours paid off! Courtney was absolutely the right photographer! Her style is the perfect blend of classic and modern and she is also the best value we could find for such high quality photos. She was super speedy - we had photos from our full wedding weekend exactly 1-month after our wedding, and we got married in the height of summer wedding season! I also had done a boudoir session with Courtney, and she makes it totally comfortable and, I might even say, FUN! Thanks Courtney!

I am so glad that Courtney was our photographer for such an important day in our lives. From the first time I contacted her, she was quick and responsive, ready to answer any questions we had. Courtney was also eager to meet with me in person, and later, met my now-husband on Skype. We clicked instantly! She even sent a lovely thank you box with small trinkets after we booked her. So thoughtful! She is extremely personable, talented, and pays attention to every detail, which was so important for me. Not only did she capture details of my dress, jewelry, shoes etc. - she captured precious details and moments of various interactions with our family and friends (i.e. My Mom's hands holding mine as we prayed, my husband's look at me when I walked down the aisle - and at the same time, her assistant captured my emotions as well!) Most importantly, her photos are absolutely stunning. We've received so many compliments on them, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you so much, Courtney! We will definitely be working with her for our other photography needs as well. Don't hesitate to hire Courtney - you won't regret it!

We would definitely give more than 5 stars per category if we could! Courtney was always timely with her emails and was also very accessible through text. Our engagement and wedding pictures turned out amazing and more than we wanted. Her personality is so fun and easy to work with. She made us and our wedding party so comfortable throughout the whole process. We can say for sure that we will be contacting Courtney for future picture sessions!

Courtney is the best! She is so talented in what she does. She photographed our wedding perfectly! She is also the most kind, approachable, and least judgmental person. She has no ego or stuck up bone in her body! It was tough for my husband and I to find someone that exceeded all our expectations (there was a lot!) as he does wedding photography on the side. I really wanted a videographer as well, but it wasn't in the budget for us. When we got our photos back (less than 3 weeks from our wedding and it was during peak season of August!) I immediately was put at ease that we didn't "miss" anything since the whole day was so well documented by Courtney and her assistant. My husband, family, friends and I are all so grateful for the fantastic images Courtney captured at our wedding. Hire her! She will not disappoint!

Courtney is one of a kind. I'm so thankful I accidently found her through a random vendor list. Over the year we've "worked" together in over three shoots and they were such a blast. Courtney quickly calms nerves and turns the experience into an easy one. Our pictures showed up quickly and were beyond perfect. Everything was bright, light and happy capturing the real feelings of joy we had during the day. We highly recommend working with Courtney for all your wedding photography needs!

Courtney did my sister and my senior pictures and my family loved them so much that we have now done a Family Session, and my wedding through her! Her pictures are amazing and they completely capture the beauty in any event! If you are looking for a wedding photographer she is the absolute best!
