Courtney is a Great Photographer & Great Person!

Planning a destination wedding in less than 3 months was not easy! However, we are so grateful to have found Courtney! She was referred by several TC photographers. Courtney jumped in to help and was wonderful!

Courtney answered all of our questions and made it easy for us from the start. Not being in town, using her portal was very helpful in communicating with Courtney and in reviewing her contract and questionnaire.

Courtney is very sweet, personal and caring! She took the time to get to know us and our story. It is like we have known each other for years! She wanted to be able to capture our personalities in the photos.

Courtney had experience with our venue which was very helpful as we had picked our venue online and would not see it personally until our wedding day! Courtney was great in giving us guidance on the location for our ceremony at the venue. Planning an outdoor ceremony in October in TC is a little risky but Courtney gave us ideas as to where to take other photos should the weather not be ideal.

Several of Courtney’s characteristics that we found extremely beneficial were her calmness and a quiet sense of confidence. Her positivity and encouragement were very reassuring not only from the planning stages but also on our wedding day!

All of that said, her professional and exceptional pictures were AWESOME! Courtney completely captured our day! Many of the photos are truly works of art! The pictures of us were wonderful. She also coordinated and took care of getting all of the various individual and group photos that we had requested. She also took the time to capture various photos of the historic venue and how we had our reception decorated. It is going to be hard to limit what photos we want to order!

Shortly after our wedding, Courtney sent us an initial group of photos that we could see and share. After reviewing those photos we could hardly wait to see the full set of photos!

Courtney was an integral part of our wedding – everyone loved her! We received several comments from our guests complementing Courtney!

Courtney is a great photographer and a great person! Two great characteristics for a wedding photographer!

We plan to stay connected with Courtney as we will likely need new photos down the road!

Our Favorite Vendor

Working with Courtney was one of the best decisions we made for our day. She was such a calming and friendly presence both on our wedding day and leading up to it. She did her best to learn everything about our day and photography wants before the wedding and served as basically a photographer and additional coordinator all in one. She captured our wedding day naturally and perfectly the way we wanted and we are so happy with our pictures.

The most incredible person and photographer

We knew our photographer was going to be a big part of our wedding day but wow did Courtney go above and beyond. She not only captured our day perfectly, but she doubled as a semi-wedding planner in the months leading up to the day (read: met with us numerous times, helped us think through day-of details, helped us create a detailed schedule for the day, etc), and played a huge role in making sure the day ran smoothly. She is communicative, organized, and professional. Her photos are colorful, creative, and make you feel like you're back in the moment it was taken; She captured raw, candid moments we will cherish forever. Above all, Courtney is just a wonderful person. She is energetic and makes even the most camera shy feel at ease. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer in the area.
