About Courtney Garbow Photography

I'm so happy you are here reading this, because choosing a photographer for your special day is a big deal, and it's not just about whether you like my photos or not, it's about much more than that! So let me give you some insight on what you can expect from working with Courtney Garbow Photography!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE and am always so honored when my clients choose me to capture such special and precious moments. On your wedding day you can expect a photographer who is efficient, outgoing, creative, but most importantly someone who goes with the flow and helps get the job done with ease, because let's be real - not every wedding day will go according to plan. I want to be more than your photographer, I want to be your friend as well. Someone you can count on, and come to before, during, and after your big day. I want to capture the REAL, and GENUINE connections between you and your loved ones. Yes I definitely get those formal, posed smiling photos, but my main goal is to capture those candid, in-between moments where you are smiling with happy tears in your eyes, embracing your love while soaking in each second of that day. Those moments that will give you all the feels when you look back at your images - that is my goal.

Experience

Yes, I believe it's important for you to choose a photographer who has experience capturing weddings, which I do - I've been photographing weddings since 2010, but I'm not that photographer who's been around the world (yet), or who has worked with well-known people. Of course, what a dream it would be, and eventually I hope to have that under my belt, but honestly to me what matters when it comes to experience is someone who knows their equipment, has a back-up plan, who knows how to handle your images with care during and after your big day, someone you can trust and rely on every step of the way - not only after you receive your final wedding gallery but even after that (because I absolutely love family photography, too)!

I want to work with couple's who believe in my work, in my vision for you, who can trust in my creativity and know I have their best interest when capturing their special day, family, (even your fur babies too!). So whether your big day is a small intimate wedding in a park, or a huge wedding at a venue that fits hundreds, know that I'll have your back and make sure to capture moments that you will cherish and absolutely love looking back on.


Services Offered


You can expect moments captured in natural, candid, photojournalistic, and traditional styles. My first wedding package begins at $2,800 for 6 hours of coverage by me. I also offers packages with a second shooter to help capture more of your big day, as well as complimentary engagement and boudoir sessions. In addition to wedding day and engagement photography, I absolutely love capturing boudoir sessions (aka empowerment sessions!) for individuals or couples! Destination weddings are also welcome. Your high-resolution images are fully edited and delivered as digital files via a password protected online gallery.

Extremely Professional & Talented

We couldn’t be happies with our experience working with Courtney. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process and she was always available to answer questions or offer guidance. Our package included an engagement session, which was such a fun way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. On our wedding day, she arrived right on time and worked closely with our wedding planner to keep everything running smoothly. It was clear she had reviewed our timeline and shot list ahead of time, and she made sure we captured every important moment without us ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. She made us feel so comfortable and confident, and we really appreciated how intentional she was in making sure we got all the photos we wanted. The entire experience felt effortless because of her attention to detail and calm, professional presence. We can’t recommend Courtney enough- she is truly incredibly talented and truly goes above and beyond for her couples 😊

Love her and her work!

Courtney is nothing short of incredible! Her artistic eye for the perfect shot and how personable she is makes her truly one of a kind.

Courtney was the photographer for my wedding and she captured the day just as I lived it. She is SO easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband is not one for photos and Courtney was patient and made it fun for both of us. I can’t recommend her enough!

Best Photographer for Your Wedding!

Courtney was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Courtney was so personable and made us feel comfortable starting with our engagement shoot all the way to our wedding day. She was very responsive and took all my ideas and made sure they were included in her shots. She let us be ourselves and have fun with it. Courtney and Taylor paid attention to all the details the day of the wedding so that nothing was missed. Courtney captured the brightness of the day and I am so happy with how all of my photos turned out! 12/10 recommend!

Spectacular

Truly talented and all around an amazing person. I had to change the venue which ended up moving us down to Islamorada and she was up for traveling. She really helped so much by guiding me along and providing a timeline to make things run smoothly. And when we asked if we could sneak away on the boat for some photos, I’m not sure who was more excited, Courtney, or our dog. She was so much fun to work with and I couldn’t imagine anyone else being a part of our special day.

The BEST photographer - cannot recommend enough

For me, finding the right photographer meant everything. I probably put in the most amount of time looking for the perfect photographer, and that was only because I didn’t find Courtney first. As soon as I did, I called her and made sure she was available on our wedding day and thank goodness she was. Neither my husband or I are all that comfortable taking photos and we really wanted ‘out of the norm’ wedding photos. Mostly, we didn’t want what we consider to be the ‘typical’ wedding photos. We wanted photos that felt more editorial, a lot of black and white, fun, natural, and a little bit spicy. Every single inspiration photo that I showed her that I liked, was captured. Our wedding was smaller and consisted of friends and family that love and laugh a lot, and that is exactly what she captured. Courtney made us feel so incredibly comfortable to be ourselves, she encouraged us, and our photos are perfection. Months later, we still have people telling us how amazing Courtney was that night and how beautiful our photos turned out. We cannot recommend Courtney more for any special occasion/event that you have.

When you need someone who just gets it...

Courtney is incredible. She is unbelievable when it comes to communicating - from the first intro call all the way down to the week of, she was organized and took plenty of notes to ensure we felt like she truly cared about us as clients. She often times referred back to comments we made early on that we even forgot about ourselves!

The day of the wedding, it was like having a friend by your side the entire time. She saw what was needed and went after it. She went above and beyond in making the day so special for me, my husband, our families and our entire guest list!

She sent us sneak peeks so quickly after, I started crying while on my honeymoon looking at them. They are stunning and should be featured in a magazine!

It was so wonderful to work with Courtney, I couldn't recommend her more.

Such an amazing person and photographer!

Courtney was absolutely amazing! She helped me with any questions I had prior to our day of. Some of them having nothing to do with her and her photography, but gave me advice which was very helpful. She sent me recommendations for vendors that I still needed. She was so on top of everything the day of. Had everything in order and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. Which was a lot with our big wedding party and family. I seriously could not have asked for a better photographer and will definitely be using her again for any of our photography needs.

Truly puts her heart and soul into her work and clients

Courtney, where do I even begin.. You’ve been apart of my life in so many ways but the way you capture my biggest moments in this crazy thing called life is by far the best. Courtney is so passionate about what she does and it shows in each photo she takes and how she edits them. She truly will not settle unless she’s sent you her BEST! From our engagement shoot to wedding day Courtney has made working with her a breeze. She is very organized and what I love most is that she knows how to take charge and also keep everyone sane at the same time. I had a very large wedding party and know only Courtney would be able to handle such a hard task! We adore her and look forward to each and every milestone in life we get to capture with her!

You will not find anyone better!!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I found Courtney from a simple google search, looked at her work and took the leap. BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. Seriously, one of the biggest highlights to my wedding process was meeting Courtney. You will not find someone more organized, responsive, understanding, and just willing to go above and beyond to make this experience fun. She took so much stress away from planning and she executed everything. She is also just the greatest person, pure soul, ray of constant sunshine. I stare at my album pretty much everyday and I am still floored at how incredible she did. She captured my husbands and Is personalities perfectly. To anyone who is considering Courtney for your wedding, you NEED to hire her. Trust me, you will not find anyone better.
