We live in Houston but held our wedding in DFW - we wanted to take our engagements in our home city and decided to hire Courtney to keep it local. We actually scheduled our engagement shoot prior to COVID but then had to postpone due to the shutdown - Courtney was flexible during the entire process. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, really allowing us to input what we wanted in our photos. We love the photos! We can't wait to use her again!

I had the pleasure of working with Courtney and her team for a recent client's wedding, and I can honestly say they are the most relaxed and stress-free, yet professional and elegant photography team I've ever worked with! I'm the owner of a wedding DJ company, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to have someone like Courtney by your side on one of the most important days of your life. Wedding days can become chaotic if you don't have the right team of vendors running the show behind the scenes, and Courtney + Team have mastered the art of capturing amazing organic moments while simultaneously calming any storms. Absolutely worth the investment! Highly recommend!!

If you’re looking for a photographer, look no further because she’s your girl! We hired her to shoot our engagements as well as our wedding day and we are so happy we did. She worked alongside our videographer to make our day go so smooth. If I had a question she was quick to answer. She’s SO sweet and goes above and beyond for you. We loved our experience!

Courtney Tate Photography shot my wedding photos and my husband and I could not be more pleased! She is a joy to work with, organized, and brings a calming presence to what could be a stressful day. She was attentive to what I wanted and went above and beyond what I expected. She is inspired, unique, and brilliant; she caught those moments I was not able to see or did not what to forget at my wedding. She even provided a schedule for me of what the entire day of photos would look like. She understood my style, and I could not have asked for a better memory of my wedding day.

Courtney was as friendly as she was professional. She made our entire experience easy and enjoyable, and gave us so many amazing pictures to remember our special day. I couldn't be happier with the service we received using Courtney for both Engagement AND Wedding pictures!

When a friend referred me to Courtney, I didn’t really know what to expect. Everyone’s experience is different—personalities, style, things that hold importance, but after leaving our initial meeting, I felt nothing but peace and excitement. Courtney displays a passion that is genuine and comforting. She not only listens to your vision, but makes it better and offers affordable options that bring comfort to your planning.

Upon the day of our wedding, we were blessed with the gift of rain and Courtney continued to beautifully capture the moments and memories that help us relive our fast paced and exciting day. Both her and our videographer’s from Arbor Films kept saying, “The lighting is perfect!” I didn’t quite know what they were talking about until we got our photos. They.are.AMAZING! Apparently overcast skies are the way to go!

One of my favorite things about working with Courtney is her ability to snap a perfect photo even when her clients aren’t the best at being romantic. My husband and I don’t do well with serious photos—we’re constantly goofing off and making things weird, but Courtney still managed to capture sweet moments that were authentic and some of my favorite photos.

I absolutely would recommend Courtney for any event you are planning and am no doubt going to reach out to her again for future events!

Courtney was truly amazing! Very talented, professional and SO easy to work with. She was able to capture such priceless moments during our wedding (and our engagement shoot too!) that we are able to cherish forever. Planning a wedding can be very overwhelming, stressful, and emotional - knowing that we had Courtney taking care of our photos was a huge relief! I really cannot recommend her enough.

Courtney is not only professional in all she does, but she is also creative. She has an endless supply of ideas for poses, which was a big help. She is also adaptable, adapting perfectly through our rainy day wedding. Last, but not least, she is also funny, making your wedding day easy and fun.
