About

Thank you so much for taking the time to view my work, I’m truly honored that you are here and wanting to know more about what inspires me as an artist and individual. When it comes to love stories, I just can’t help myself, I’m a hopeless romantic. I love a good love story and capturing your love is a dream come true. I’m a devoted wife to my handsome husband and a caring mother to my beautiful twin daughters. We live a small town life on beautiful land that we are so blessed to call home in Montgomery, TX. I am always seeking outdoor adventures and I absolutely love to travel. I have a love for plants and growing my garden. Living by the grace of God, a good cup of morning coffee and yummy smelling candles burning throughout my home.

From a very young age, I’ve always felt a connection to beautiful photographs. I love the emotions and memories that come flooding back. I strive to produce quality images from your life’s most meaningful moments, that you will love for a lifetime. Film photography is my medium of choice because of the timeless and ethereal beauty that film provides when combined with natural light. I take great pride in my work and provide you with not only timeless imagery but also styling, attention to detail, unique locations, helping you create a wedding day timeline, making you feel comfortable in front of my camera and natural posing assistance that will guide you into those candid moments. I love building relationships with my clients and forming that connection stems from the very first email. I’m eager to know your story, I love hearing what makes your story unique and learning more about how I can serve you well. Inititally, I begin with setting up a meeting with you either in person, or if you prefer an online skype meeting, that can be arranged as well. I love getting to know your style and hearing about your wedding plans and all of the special details that inspire your dream day. If you’re getting married outside of Houston or planning a Destination Wedding, I offer a wonderful destination collection that can be customized to fit your needs as well as travel quotes. If all of this sounds like what you’ve been searching for in a photographer, I’d love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Courtney

Iconic & Unique

I fell in love with Courtney's style the moment I saw her Instagram and loved her even more in person. She has the best personality, encourages you to be natural, and makes taking pictures fun, even when you hate taking them. I loved that she took photos with film which set her apart from other photographers and is so unique. The photos come out natural, but full of color and clarity. She creates magic with everything she touches and gave us the most beautiful wedding photos, along with the best experience we could imagine with a photographer. Courtney is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she's also just an amazing human being. If I could relive my wedding, I'd choose her every time.

Courtney is amazing.

Courtney did our engagement photos and also photographed our wedding, but more than that she was a COMPLETE stress relief on our wedding day and a friend. Courtney knows so much about the wedding industry and offered me so much advice on vendors to use etc. and everyone she recommended knocked it out of the park for us. We had a LARGE wedding party (I think she actually said it might have been the largest wedding party she ever photographed) that was full of loud and very distracted people. If I were in Courtney's shoes I would have lost my mind trying to get the entire group to focus and stay on schedule but Courtney did quiet the opposite. She was sooooo calm and never once acted annoyed or frustrated at our very noisy crowd. She laughed through all the craziness while still being able to wrangle everyone in and get things done quickly. It was also such a blessing to have her there on our wedding day to laugh with us and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband genuinely enjoyed taking photos and that is never the case for him and I attribute that 100% to Courtney.

Now, besides how amazing she was on our actual wedding day lets talk about the photos we received... I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how beautiful our wedding photos were and how perfectly they captured our day and our personalities. They are not over edited, they are not ~trendy~ they are timeless and will be absolutely beautiful for years to come. I have already warned Courtney that we will be using her for any and all of our future family photo needs and she got so excited. How special is that?!

Choosing Courtney to be our wedding photographer is hands down the best decision we made when it came to our wedding (besides our venue of course ;) ) and I could not recommend her more. In fact, I almost want to give her a bad review just so that she doesn't become too hard to schedule photos with :)

WE LOVE YOU COURTNEY LEIGH PHOTOGRAPHY!

Courtney is absolutely amazing!

Courtney was the absolute best choice when it came to making our decision to who we want to photograph our special day. Not only is she the best person to have around, and so professional, she is the most talented behind the camera. It was a no brainer to book Courtney for our wedding. She also got the photos back way sooner than we expected - we were thrilled. We have gotten so much feedback on our photos because they turned out to be absolutely beautiful. Everything from the colors of the photos to how she posed us turned out to be absolutely perfect. We love her!!!

Having Courtney as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Having Courtney as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
She captured every special moment and more!! She’s a photographer that has great insight and intuition, and is truly dedicated to her craft. Her work is not your typical cookie cutter wedding photos, its more and you won’t regret it! Courtney is also so so so kind, thoughtful, and encouraging! She made both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped us to not look awkward which is a huge plus for someone that isn’t often photographed! :) When we saw our wedding gallery it exceeded our expectations and more!! We were so excited to share our gallery with our family and friends that were not able to attend our wedding, and one comment that we constantly received was how breathtaking the photos were!
We are so thankful to have Courtney as our photographer she is so amazing and talented!! Cannot wait to see where her talents will take her!

Fabulous Photographer

Courtney was beyond amazing. She was so easy to work with. She heard all our ideas and gave us some wonderful suggestions to help make our vision come true. She truly has a great eye. We asked her to come with us for a destination wedding and she was immediately on board. All the girls loved working with her. She was stress free and always smiling. This won’t be the last time we use Courtney!

Superior Photographer, will travel.

When my daughter first got engaged, I immediately thought of Courtney. Her work speaks for itself. Two weeks later and I was disappointed to learn my daughter and fiancé were considering a destination wedding. By now I had already reached out to Courtney to check her availability and called to cancel. Courtney said, “I travel!” So the planning began.

Working with a local photographer who travels is huge. We were able to take engagement and bridal portraits without having to leave Houston. Our comfort with Courtney as a person and with her talents helped us avoid hiring someone somewhere else only to be anxious and/or disappointed.

Courtney’s love of her craft, her talent, and her personality quickly makes her friends with everyone. This creates a relaxed comfort level for everyone and therefore better pictures.

I’d do it all over again just to have a thousand more pictures. We’ve now received our final products and we are overwhelmed. Thank you Courtney for capturing the moments we will treasure for a lifetime.

We made a true friend along our journey from engagement to finished product. You were always available for every question we had and even picked a color palette for us that fit our destination perfectly. We miss you and look forward to spending time with you again soon.

Our destination was Arizona. Not exactly right around the corner and still no problem for Courtney.

Best Film Photographer in the Business

I hired Courtney to photograph my engagements, bridals and my wedding and I could not be any more pleased. She is very professional and calm (which helps with wedding stress). She really helps you during the shoots to make you feel confident on how to pose. My pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and she didn't take but a month to return them to me. Her style is timeless. I would HIGHLY recommend Courtney for any occasion you may have. She is going to be my personal photographer forever!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
