    The Best!!

    Courtney is hands down the best photographer we have ever worked with. She is extremely nice, very professional, and flexible. She coordinated everything well from photo shoots with our dogs to timelines for the wedding. She provided us with so many photos and the turn around was great! Courtney was so accommodating to all our photo requests! Her photos are absolutely stunning! Book her now, she is the best!

    Amazing time and fun addition to the wedding team

    Courtney was amazing, she made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. Her personality helped loosen up nerves and created an environment of natural chemistry. Her and her team were very accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond to get great photos and contributed to an amazing time for myself and my husband. She was a great addition to the team!

    We adore courtney!

    WE ADORE COURTNEY!! (and her second shooter, Sarah!!!). How do you even begin to write a review for the vendor who single-handedly saved your wedding?! Courtney was hired very last minute to shoot our wedding and she went above and beyond to be there and to make the day special for us. Not only are her pictures absolutely amazing but she and Sarah came prepared and were so much fun in the process! We were so grateful that she was a part of our wedding day and we cannot recommend her enough!

    Detailed Professional, Clean Work

    Courtney is an amazing partner whose attention to detail is second-to-none. Extending beyond photography, Courtney’s responsiveness, direction, emails, prep work, and portal infrastructure are all very clean and crisp. Throughout our wedding planning process, it was always easy to make payments, supply info, and view/download photos.

    As for the photography itself, her work is fantastic. Our wedding photos are all quite polished and well-timed. She captured moments and details that we never saw in real-time. Thanks to Courtney’s attention to detail, we gain life-long memories!

    Lastly, she is just a fun and organized person. She never blinked in the face of COVID restrictions, and was always open-minded to working with our event’s needs. When it was time to be a field general, she ensured that people were in line and engaged. She even coaxed smiles out of all our children at the same time!

    I would recommend her to anyone. For anything. Thanks Courtney!

    Courtney is AMAZING!

    When it came to our choice of a photographer for our wedding and engagement photos, it was really important that we could have someone help us who would hit an absolute home run with documenting our special day. From the beginning of our experience, through to the end, Courtney Hathaway could not have done better for us. From her style of photography to her professionalism and personality, it was a true joy not only to work with her but also to see the amazing ways in which she captured our special moments. We can't help but smile every time we look at the work she did during our big day and could not be happier with the overall experience!

    Courtney has been absolutely incredible to work with!!! When we did our engagement photos back in September 2017, she provided so much knowledge and insight into the Manteo area as well as other venders. Courtney has been professional in every aspect of her service and produces amazing images. On our 9/22/2018 wedding, Courtney was early and made us all feel so comfortable!! Seriously, Courtney is absolutely amazing and her work is stunning. Can not recommend her enough!!

    Simply put, Courtney was fantastic. As a bride planning a destination wedding, it was important for me to feel confident in all the vendors I picked for the wedding before I met them. After speaking with multiple photographers I knew Courtney was the perfect one! I connected instantly with her bright personality and all the questions she asked about my fiance (now husband!) and I, about what was important to us and how we wanted our big day to feel. She and her assistant, captured our wedding day perfectly - from family pictures, to shots of my husband and I, to capturing moments with my best girl friends, she got it all. I truly couldn't be happier.

    Courtney was absolutely amazing. She was such a pleasure to work with. She was so accommodating, always responsive to emails and phone calls. Our engagement photos are fantastic - I'm so excited to get our wedding photos back. I would HIGHLY recommend Courtney to anyone planning an OBX wedding. She's wonderful! You won't be disappointed.

    Courtney is THE BESTTTT!! I can hardly contain my enthusiasm! She is so responsive, professional and flexible, and she helped us with so much more than just taking amazing wedding photos! She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Outer Banks since she is part of the Wedding Association, and throughout our year of wedding planning she gave us a ton of good ideas and feedback. You can really see her love for weddings show through in her work! On the day of the wedding she was definitely working with an unruly group of groomsmen and bridesmaids, but she is all business and knows how to make everyone pay attention. I could go on and on about, but my absolute favorite thing about choosing Courtney was that we had a fantastic preview of our photos posted on Facebook not even 12 hours after the wedding! It was such a great surprise and made that weekend even better if possible! If you're looking for amazing photos and an A+ photographer I would say look no further!

    I cannot say enough great things about Courtney (and her team). We found her amazing website online and decided she would be perfect for our destination wedding in the Outer Banks. You get a copy of ALL of the photos that are downloadable and then you are able to print freely! She was so responsive in answering all of our questions and so organized before each event!

    We had a "free" (comes with the package) engagement session in Downtown Manteo which was just beautiful. It was great to get to know Courtney ahead of time and here to get to know us. She was on time and friendly and they turned out wonderful!

    For the wedding, Courtney and Alex were again on time and ready to go right when they got there! Courtney sent us a shot list ahead of time so it was really easy to fly through family photos. They had everything including umbrellas for our weird rain/weather day. They made sure we stayed on schedule and got absolutely gorgeous shots. We got almost 1,200 photos back from our wedding (in such a quick turn around) and we are in love with all of them! They are so natural, elegant, and timeless!

    We did a lot of researching before picking a photographer and we certainly made the right choice! Thanks again Courtney for the photos that will last a lifetime!

    I had Courtney come to me in VA for our wedding and she and her 2nd shooter (Kristi) were fantastic; I really could not have imagined anyone else photographing my day. She is super sweet, timely in responding to emails and very detailed oriented. She was searching through my many layers of tulle for a piece of hair! Courtney was so down to earth, easy to talk to and get along with. I've seen only a few pictures from our wedding so far, but they are absolutely gorgeous. Emotions were captured and not many can do that or use the elements they're in, especially in a location they have never shot before so it speaks volumes of her skill level. I had so much fun with Courtney and I wish I could hire her for everything.

    Courtney and Alex were amazing! They were so down to earth and fun, which helped make our day that much more enjoyable. On top of that, they were extremely organized - they requested who we wanted our formal pictures with in advance and any special request pictures so that the pictures ran smoothly and efficiently. And of course, the pictures turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We are so thankful we had Courtney and Alex document our day and that we have beautiful memories to last a lifetime.

    Courtney was AMAZING! I cannot wait to see our photos but the preview she has put up looks amazing! She was so laid pack and dealt with our chaotic crew so well! She kept us on schedule as well to make sure we got the important shots we wanted. Went above and beyond even before the wedding and giving advice about the wedding expo etc. Def will be coming back in the future!

    Courtney was recommended to us by a friend. Although we aren't local to the Outer Banks, we hired her after several email exchanges and a very personable conversation on the phone. In that conversation, she asked me to describe the wedding that we wanted-- what we valued. From that, she suggested a different location on the beach for our wedding. Her advice was invaluable, and resulted in the perfect location for us.

    She is a talented photographer who has wonderful ideas. She has a knack for knowing where to be-- close enough to give directions, with enough space to allow for genuine emotion. And then she captures it all.

    We planned our Outer Banks, NC wedding from NY, and Courtney was so easy to work with! She was responsive to any email questions, and very helpful in determining which package would work best for our small event. We just received the pictures and so happy with them! Courtney did such an amazing job capturing our wedding!

    OMG!! Where do I begin with Courtney and her fab assistant Alex? They did Cary and I's engagement photos last year at the Kitty Hawk pier during sunrise. I must say these were some "pinterest worthy" photos. Although Cary found it a bit cheesey twirling me around in the sand. These were definitely framers and could be on a cover of a magazine! I was able to use one of the pictures for my Save the Dates and received soooo many compliments!!

    I am still waiting to get all of the pictures back from our wedding, but Courtney gave us a sneak peak from her blog post and I am in LOVE!! I had them do first look pictures on my mom's beach house deck. Despite the crazy wind, they were able to make it work and the pics turned out BEAUTIFUL.

    Courtney is absolutely amazing. She was prompt in answering any questions that I had. Also she is extremely organized which made my wedding day run smoothly and kept me at ease the whole day. Courtney has a natural gift and love for photography that shows in every picture she takes. My husband and I could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day.

    Courtney was amazing to work with! She was very flexible with pictures and her time. My husband and I planned a destination wedding and she made the experience one we couldn't forget! She was so great, we had her get on one of our pictures as well! Her pictures were fabulous and we received numerous comments about the professional quality and creativity. I really cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience with Courtney Hathaway Photography!

    If you are looking for a kind, friendly, personable photographer with a creative eye that will put you at ease and make you feel extraordinarily comfortable all the while making your photos gorgeous- look no further! Courtney is incredibly talented with an eye for creative, fun, naturally beautiful shots, and her amiable nature and enjoyable personality made it easy for us to be ourselves in front of the camera. She is very conscientious about what the client is like and wants and makes a great effort to capture details and facets of one's life in order to tell their unique story through beautiful photos. We will truly treasure the beautiful photos of our engagement session and wedding for the rest of our lives and I could not imagine having a more perfect photographer to have preserved those precious moments for my husband and I.

    I have worked with Courtney Hathaway Photography over the past few years for various types of work including head shots, family portraits, college graduation, and Christmas Card sessions.
    Courtney is always professional in her correspondences and in her interactions during shoots. I enjoy working with Courtney Hathaway Photography and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer on the Outer Banks. I believe the high quality of work speaks for itself and can't wait for my next experience with CHP.

    Courtney did our engagement pictures and we found that she was very easy to work with and professional. We enjoyed our session with her and would recommend her to anyone visiting the Outer Banks, NC.

    Overall amazing experience

    Courtney is everything you can hope for in a wedding photographer: professional, knowledgeable, flexible, creative, and personable. Courtney gave us high-quality photos, both posed and impromptu, from our engagement session and our wedding. Before wedding day, Courtney helped answer our questions even just about OBX weddings, in general, and treated us to coffee! Both Courtney and her assistant were organized the entire day and went above and beyond our expectations and asks. We had some timeline confusion and Courtney helped keep us on track and offered up ideas to keep things going smoothly. We had family members requesting various photos and Courtney was on top of it. Our entire experience with Courtney was great from the very beginning, she is a wonderful person and an incredible photographer.

    Wonderful pair!

    Courtney and Sara were rockstars! From a special relaxing engagement shoot to our dream aquarium wedding, they captured it all. We have them to thank not only for timeless shots, but for coverage in a publication as well. I love the photojournalistic approach and attention to detail. Thank you!

    Courtney was amazing to work with and I would 100% recommend her to other couples. She also led me to several other vendors that I worked with and I was very happy with everything. Her product and service was worth every penny. She made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. My wedding photos are something that I will have and cherish forever!
