    Amazing Engagement Shoot Photographer!

    I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our engagement shoot. Originally, we won a 1 hour shoot, but since we liked Courtland so much, we decided to do an extra paid hour. Not only did he make us feel comfortable for our very first photoshoot together, but he went above and beyond to make sure we got the shots that we had envisioned. Prior to the day of the shoot, he met up with us twice to go over our vision and expectations. We were able to bring our dog and have him be a part of our pictures as well!
    Courtland's professionalism and creativity is unmatched and I would definitely recommend him as your photographer!

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Nicole! You and Alvin are a joy to work with, and I'm so excited we met. You two rock!

    Incredible energy and mesmerizing photos!

    Courtland was extraordinary throughout the entire engagement photography session! He truly brought an incredible energy with him, was prompt, professional, and most of all immensely creative! He brought unique ideas with him that resulted in captivating captures. We ended up loving over 80 photographs that Courtland captured and can't wait for him to make them into our sign-in book. You can't go wrong with Courtland--he truly is the best of the best.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Callie! I'm so grateful to have met you and Tim. You were both an absolute joy to work with, and I'm so happy for you!

    Choose Courtland!

    My husband and I had the immense privilege of working with Courtland Wilson for our engagement shoot and our wedding day. We first met Courtland when he was the photographer for our friend’s wedding and after seeing the results of their photos we KNEW we wanted him to be our photographer as well. HIs work product really speaks for itself, but his professionalism and excellence make him the ONLY CHOICE for your wedding and engagement photos.


    Cortland does a fantastic job of really getting to know you and your partner's style, desired look and feel of your photos, and truly makes you feel at ease when taking photos that you will treasure for a lifetime.

    On top of that, I can not tell you how many people at our wedding reception gave props and kudos to Courtland. My grandma in particular was astounded with how friendly, courteous and kind he was to everyone at the ceremony and reception. She noted how on top of things he was, how he really did his best to get photos of all the guests, while ensuring the most special moments were captured while also blending into the setting - not disrupting or blocking anyone’s view of important moments. Sharing photos from Courtland with our family and friends has been such a treat and we can not thank him enough for capturing our special day and making our photos truly feel like a reflection of us.

    I have recommended Courtland to my friends and colleagues who all say the same thing: CHOOSE COURTLAND!

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Laura!! Thank you so much for the kind heartfelt words. I'm floored. You and William are AMAZING, and I'm so lucky to have documented one of the most important memories of your lives. I'm so happy to have met you both.I can't wait to see you guys again :)

    Courtland is the best, hands-down. If you are looking for an incredibly kind, insanely talented, and supremely creative wedding photographer, you won't find better than Courtland. My husband and I are blown away by the amazing job he did on both our engagement photos and the wedding sneak peeks we've gotten back so far. We could not be more thrilled with our choice and feel so lucky to have met Courtland and gotten to use his services. One of the best decisions we ever made, and we cannot recommend him more highly!!

    Courtland just did my engagement shoot, and I could not be more thrilled and grateful to have found him -- the quality of his work is unparalleled, and he is the perfect blend of classic and artistic. He is also super responsive and friendly, and he quickly put me and my fiance at ease. We cannot recommend him more highly!!

    Passionate

    Courtland was great. He makes a point to get to know the couple right away, then does everything he can to give them exactly what they were looking for. His passion is obvious from the second he shows up to the moment he leaves. So glad we found him.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Hi Robyn! Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so grateful you and William decided me to capture your big day in beautiful Fort Bragg. I'll never forget your special day. I wish you the very best with your new life chapter!

    Amazing Photographer

    We found Courtland about a year ago when we were looking for a photographer for our wedding. He meet with us and within 5 minutes we knew we had found our photographer.

    He drove 200 miles to our venue in Fort Bragg. When he showed up early he went straight to work and did an amazing job. He was everywhere at once it seemed and was never in the way.

    Then we received an invite from him to do a reveal and pick out our wedding photo album in a private theater for us and 4 of our closest. We were greeted with our favorite drinks and snacks.

    He is a very personable, professional, and I would highly recommend his services to anybody for the wedding, or any other major events in their life.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, William! You and Robyn were a joy to work with, and I'm so grateful to have been chosen to document your big day in Fort Bragg. Stay awesome!

    Courtland as our Wedding Photographer in San Francisco

    Where to even begin with Courtland?! He is absolutely INCREDIBLE! We met him through my husband's cousin who hired him as her photographer and we just fell in love with not only the photos from her wedding, but Courtland himself! He is so creative, positive and really takes the time to get to know you. Further, he is punctual, flexible and seriously feels like he is part of the family when you work with him. Guests from our wedding still talk about not only his incredible photos but also how warm and easy going he is! I wish I could give him 100 stars - we have truly appreciated the work Courtland put into our photos! I highly recommend Courtland as a photographer for anyone's wedding, engagement photos, or any other celebration!

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Joelle! I'm beyond grateful to have been chosen to document such an important life chapter in your lives. I can see why you and Kenny are so awesome-because your friends and family are so supportive and loving. Keep crushing it!

    Amazing, there is no better.

    This was the best experience I have ever had. The customer service, the vibe, laughs, tears and just the whole experience was wild and fun.

    Fairy Tale!!!

    Courtland was my dream photographer but with him being in California and we were in Colorado I didn't think I'd be able to afford him. But after no luck with local photographers I called Courtland and that was the best decision. Courtland was available every step of the way. From our first zoom call to him arriving in Colorado for our big day. He reached out throughout the planning process keeping things on a great timeline to getting certain aspects complete. He took the time to get to know us as a couple in great detail and asked questions no other photographer had asked. Our pictures turned out Amazing and we got so many compliments and people were amazed with the final product. Courtland helped ease my mind on the big day he showed up and was checking in with me he even got me food and drinks while I was in make up. Courtland captured us as a couple as well as our family and friends. He captured every emotion down to the tears of joy on out secret dance.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Joselyn! It's been fun seeing your family grow from a few years ago during our portrait session, and I'm SO grateful that I was able to capture your wedding day! Thank you for trusting me with your memories. Stay awesome!

    Courtland is one of the best wedding photographers out there!

    Courtland is one of the best wedding photographers out there. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we had a few other photographer plans fall through and we couldn't be happier that we were referred to Courtland. From the very beginning Courtland was constantly learning more about us as people to get a better idea of what we wanted in our wedding photos. During our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and helped us throughout the process (as a hobbyist photographer myself, I feel very uncomfortable being on the other side of the camera) with getting us in the perfect position and lighting to create some amazing photos. He had us fill out information about ourselves and when we had our wedding photo reveal, he got us gifts from the questionnaire he had us fill out earlier, which made it feel all the more personal to us. We are very happy to be his "Clients for Life" and we highly recommend Courtland to anyone.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Hi Matt! This is a bit overdue, but I wanted to say thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. You and Joyce are a powerhouse of a couple, and I'm so honored that I was there to capture on of the most important days of your lives. I can't wait to see where your new life chapter takes you and Joyce, and document it along the way!

    Heather G.

    I would highly recommend Courtland as a wedding photographer! He is pleasant, organized, professional and conscientious. Importantly, he also takes amazing, unique photographs. At Courtland’s suggestion we used engagement photos as a guestbook. Our guests were also highly impressed with Courtland’s photos. After seeing a preview, I cannot wait to see our wedding photos!

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Heather! It was truly a pleasure to document the love between you and Ed. Congratulations on this new life chapter! You both are amazing, and I can't wait to see you again!

    The Bomb.com photographer

    Courtland has been on a journey with us since the beginning of our engagement. From 2020 in Yosemite for our proposal, Jenner for our engagement shoot, to our wedding in October of 2022. He has worked with us to make us feel beyond comfortable and became one of our closest friends along the way. His professionalism is beyond amazing! He is a real artist and takes what we wanted every session and crafted it with the most amazing lighting and natural expressions. He truly captured the love, excitement, and energy when shooting is for all our moments. He makes everyone feel special and important while shooting. Courtland is a fun and loving man and works so well with anyone so, working with our vendors for our wedding was seamless and a success. Everyone loved him and his energy! If you have the ability to book him for your special day and work with him you will be thrilled with the whole experience. My family, friends, and guest are ranting and raving about our pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND COURTLAND!

    Thank you so much, Shelby!!! I'm so glad our paths crossed, and I'm floored that I'm able to capture and document the love between you and Erik.

    Amazing photos

    We did our engagement shoot almost a week ago and we were so impressed with Courtland. We met with him about an hour before our shoot to sit and talk and it really made the whole session a lot less awkward. Courtland is such a genuine guy, it felt like hanging out with an old friend. Once we started our photo session he had such great ideas for natural poses and really made us feel comfortable and not too posed. He sent us a few sneak peek photos and we are absolutely in love with them. He did a fantastic job of having fun with us while still remaining professional. We would highly recommend Courtland to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Fun, unique, and personable- The Best in a Photographer

    Courtland was our only first choice after our initial phone call with him. As ex-military, he had a lot in common with my fiance as well as my whole family which made talking to him exceptionally easy. Not only did he go out of his way for phone calls, Facetimes, and email correspondence, he made me feel like my wedding was just as important to him as if it were his own. I felt his passion towards his art and the day of our wedding went absolutely perfect with him and his assistant by our sides capturing all of our special moments. I would hire him 1000 times over, and cannot express enough how beautiful his pictures are, or how amazing he was to work with. We will definitely use him in the future as our family grows to capture our special moments.

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kristin! It was an honor and an absolute blast photographing your wedding. I can't wait to show you the rest :)

    Reliving our wedding day forever through Courtland's beautiful work!

    I can't say enough great things about Courtland. We had him photograph both our engagement/maternity photos and our wedding and everything turned out beautiful. Working with him is fun and easy. At our wedding we hardly noticed him (during the ceremony, at dinner, cake cutting, first dance, etc.), but he captured it all! He has amazing attention to detail and brought our wedding day to life. I cried when we got our photos back because every single moment is detailed. The colors are vibrant, his work with light is incredible, and I loved all of the candid shots he got of us and our friends and family. We will forever cherish our photos and can't wait to get prints.

    Amazing experience!

    Courtland is beyond amazing! We had a few things that pushed our photo shoot out and he was happy to accommodate and change dates, as needed. He was great at communicating and keeping in touch, leading up to the day of our shoot.
    The day of our shoot, we hung out and talked for a bit before we started. That really helped to ease into things. When we started the shoot we didn’t even really notice because it happened so organically, starting with our daughter running to & from us. We all had the best time with it!
    We just cannot say enough great things about Courtland! He’s an all around great guy and he’s an animal lover, so that already puts him high on my list. He’s funny, genuine, friendly, accommodating, attentive, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

    Refreshing, Creative, & Professional

    It’s been a long time since I’ve both met and worked with an individual who possessed great professionalism and creativity. I’m one who love to be in the same position as Courtland, behind the camera, so I was honestly refreshingly surprised at how creative and spontaneous Courtland was. He made both myself and my Fiancé feel at ease to truly be ourselves and capturing our beautiful moment but also the true raw moments that occur only noticeable behind a closed door! I was remarkably amazed at both the amount of images Courtland captured along with the quality! Both my Fiancé and I enjoyed the shoot and couldn’t be happier!
    ps - I was surprised with a printed image book displaying our photos for our anniversary and it brought me to tears!

    Courtland Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Kat! It brings me so much joy that you love your photos, not to mention your surprise album.... :))) It's my privilege to capture the love you and Rob have, both on and off the paintball field! I'm so happy for you both.

The quality of is work is unmatched, his artistic abilities are spectacular and unique, he brings it all to the table, and you couldn't ask for a more professional, fun, talented photographer. Not mention he's a downright great human being.
    We were thrilled with the entire process and results!

    Amazing and Astounding

    Professional, blends in with different types of people and their attitude. Very likable and has a lot of experience under his belt. Any ideas I had, he made them much much better. At that point all I did was leave everything to him because I trusted him 110%.

    10/10 would recommend!

    Such an amazing experience shooting with Courtland! He worked with our family and prioritized flexibility and care around our son (7 month old) and his nap schedule. This was our first family photo shoot and he made us feel comfortable and confident throughout every step of the way.

    Thank you so much, Adam! I really appreciate you reaching out to photography your new family. I can't wait to see little Jack grow up. You two are amazing parents, and I know your future will be as bright as Jack's smile haha

    Wonderfully Outstanding Photographer

    I am so thankful we made our decision about Courtland Photography. Courtland is very professional but yet fun during the entire process. He made us feel comfortable and excited during our engagement and wedding photos. He really takes the time to understand the connection you have between one another. These photos truly expressed the personality and feelings between the two of us. Overall, I am grateful for our time during each moment we had with him. I couldn’t be more excited to see how ALL of our wedding day photos turned out. Thank you for everything Courtland!
