She is the best!!!
Courtney was so amazing! Every meeting was so much fun. Our wedding photos are so beautiful and I can’t wait to frame them. We are so happy with her services. I wouldn’t change anything about my day and I’m fortunate that she was there to capture the special moments. Not only is she a professional, she is a great person.

Don’t miss out.
I’m so thankful I found Courtney. Not only did she create amazing memories of our wedding, but she had fun with us! She made it comfortable for us from the minute she showed up. The day after the wedding she provided us with a small amount of photos from the wedding! We were so excited and fell in love! Her pricing is great for the quality you receive!
I’m already ready to book her for maternity photos if we can!

Choosing Courtney as our photographer was one of the best choices we made!
Courtney was absolutely awesome through the entire process of working together. From the very start, Courtney's communication was absolutely on point and even requested that we met up or had a phone call before we locked in our decision on booking her. My husband and I loved how laid back, yet very organized and detail oriented Courtney was. Our entire wedding party and our wedding guests continuously comment on how well Courtney helped with making our day flow so smoothly, all while seeming as though she was a long-time friend of ours! If we could go back, we would choose Courtney as our photographer 100 times over again, because not only was she an awesome photographer, but now someone that we think of as our friend! Thank you Courtney for truly capturing our love on such a special day. We will cherish your photos forever.

Great Work and Fun Person!
Working with Courtney was so easy. We started planning with her when we lived in different states, and she was really helpful coordinating with our schedules. We had her take our engagement and wedding photos and enjoyed both experiences immensely! We are not used to having pictures done, but Courtney is a kind and welcoming person who made us feel comfortable. She was ready and excited to be a part of our day and was flexible when it rained and our timeline changed. She not only took beautiful pictures but when a piece of lace tore off my dress, she fixed it for me. We loved our pictures and can't wait to share them with our friends and family!

Best Wedding Photographer Around!
Courtney was simply amazing to work with from start to finish. She made the whole process not only easy, but so fun! Trying to get married during Covid presented many challenges, and Courtney took them on alongside us with ease, patience, and flexibility. Having her at our wedding was like having another friend there. All of our guests had nothing but positive things to say about her, and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her. We had the best time with her too, and she was able to seamlessly capture the fun and excitement we felt in our photos. I was absolutely blown away at the images she created. They so perfectly reflect who we are as couple, friends, and family. I would find any excuse I could to get to work with Courtney again. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She is an incredible photographer and an absolute joy to work with!

Courtney is beyond amazing at capture the most precious moments. The past few months she’s been there for maternity and newborn photos and each time I was blown away. She’s able to capture love and emotions in each picture she takes and I can not thank her enough. Our family will always be recommending and using her.

All-around awesome and talented photographer / human
I knew we were in good hands with Courtney from our very first correspondence. I wasn't sure if I even wanted photos or could realistically afford them for our little elopement. Courtney made me feel reassured and genuinely excited! She was so friendly, enthusiastic, communicative, extremely flexible (I literally switched our outdoor venue 2 days before go-time due to rain), and cool – just super cool. Our photos turned out AMAZING. I knew they'd be great, and the results still surpassed my expectations. I barely recognize the couple in our photos – we are awkward and silly, but Courtney made us look so glamorous and romantic. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Thank you, Courtney! You rock!!

Book Courtney while you can!
Courtney is a true gem. We were on the fence with booking professional photos as the wedding expenses were quickly mounting, and WOW, are we glad we did. Courtney not only took beautiful photos but absolutely rolled with the changes as we had to re-schedule our wedding date due to covid and then our venue due to the Oregon wildfires.
Courtney always communicated in a timely and compassionate manner and was able to quickly set boundaries with guests that didn't want to comply with covid regulations during photos. She also gladly accepted creative direction while also directing us in shots that quickly became our favorites.
It's clear that Courtney's first priority is serving her clients, and I have no doubt that she'll quickly become booked out for 2021. So my unsolicited advice: book her while you can. If there was a listicle for Oregon's Top 30 Wedding Photographers Under 30, she'd be leading the pack.
