Exceeded expectations!

Courtney was beyond perfect to work with! We booked her for our engagement photos & wedding photos. Both set of photos exceeded our expectations! Courtney is so fun to work with and helps keeps the day fun and easy going. I found her based on photos her business was tagged in and loved how elegant, vibrant, and natural the photos turned out. It was very helpful that Courtney had photographed other weddings at the venue we chose because she knew exactly where we should take certain photos and where lighting would be best! I highly recommend booking Courtney as your photographer! :)

Courtney is the BEST

We are so grateful to have found Courtney to photograph our wedding day. From start to finish, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She helped plan our vision for the big day and made it a reality. She gave us her time on more than one occasion to meet before the wedding to talk details and vision. With a background in wedding planning, we knew she would have everything under control and keep us on track so we could focus on each other and enjoying the special moments. It’s so important for your wedding photographer to make you feel at ease on your big day and she does such a great job at that. She is kind, personable and you can tell she truly loves what she does which makes all the difference and you can see it in her work. Cannot recommend or say enough good things about Courtney. A bonus.. she got our photos back to us so quickly! We had a solid sneak peek of photos within TWO DAYS of our wedding which was so exciting.

Professional, experienced wedding planner

We used Courtney as our day of planner at our wedding. Although it’s called a “day of planner”, she did much more, especially the weeks leading up to our wedding, which took A LOT off of my plate! She emailed timelines to all of our vendors, came up with schedules and recommended many details that I have never thought of. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. Courtney is an organized, experience, confident and kind planner who knows what she’s doing. We had a couple of minor dilemmas on the wedding day, as everyone does, but I never once felt stressed about them because they were immediately taken care of and a solution was right there, already thought out. She is also a photographer so she was great at directing the us and the bridal party when needed. I definitely recommend her!!! Everyone needs a Courtney on their wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
