    Courtney is the BEST photographer!

    Courtney is one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met. Her photos are breathtaking. She cares about everyone and wanted to ensure we were having a blast on our wedding day. She also made sure we had an amazing time during our engagement photos. Her pictures are amazing and we were so lucky our wedding planner recommended her. All of her photos were beautiful. My husband and I are a little awkward when taking pictures, but she made it one of our favorite parts of the wedding. She is quick to respond to emails and extremely professional, I highly recommend Courtney Smith photography!

    Highly Recommend Courtney Smith Photography

    Courtney was an absolute delight to have as our wedding photographer. She was a calm, friendly, and comfortable presence to have with us on our wedding day. She returned beautiful, high-quality images within a timely manner, and I can say, without a doubt, that I would not have wanted anyone else to photograph our wedding day. The images she captured will help us remember such an important day in our lives, and I will cherish them always. I would highly recommend Courtney Smith to all of my friends and family members for their photography needs.

    My husband and I had a great experience with Courtney! She’s super talented and very easy to work with - We had the best time just being ourselves in front of her camera on both our engagement session and our wedding day! We’re very thankful for the memories she captured for us 💗

    Courtney was easily my favorite choice from all of our wedding vendors! We had seen her work on instagram and fell in love with her style but her personality, presence and ease of capturing our day was better than I ever could have asked for. I emailed her a few nights after we got engaged and I woke up to a super sweet response the very next morning. She was very communicative throughout the whole process of checking in and letting us know what to expect. She showed up early even when she was feeling a little under the weather on our big day and was so positive! Since she was coming from across the country for our wedding we didn't do an engagement shoot so I was a little nervous but immediately felt like I had known her for a long time. She built us up throughout our entire event and was so present. We feel extremely blessed that she took on our event and are so so happy with how our photos came out. She captured all the love and excitement we felt that day. We are so excited so hang our photos and share them for years to come. Thank you Courtney!

    courtney was amazing from beginning to end ... just the ease of working with her ... her unique and incredible eye for the unusual. simply the manner in which she worked with the children and made them feel at ease. I am blown away by her talent and the iconic photos she is able to capture. we could not be more pleased with her work, her integrity, and the quality of photos that we received. anyone would be lucky to have them photograph their day.

    Courtney was an absolute dream to work with!!! Courtney is the most sweet and caring person alive, along with the most understanding. My now husband was absolutely nervous about taking pictures for the engagement photos and the wedding ones as well, but Courtney made it so much fun but also so easy by guiding us through the motions seamlessly!! The photographs she take are not only gorgeous but they are what I would consider my ideal pictures from engagement to wedding! I would definitely recommend Courtney as a photographer as she made my wedding day so lovely and gave me beautiful pictures to remember it by!

    When I got engaged I LOVED looking through wedding photographers and their photos, it was one of my favorite aspects of the wedding. The way that a photographer could tell the story, and give you the keepsakes to remember your special day forever meant so much to me. I especially loved Courtney's photos because of the way she captured natural light in them. I ended up choosing the date for my wedding around Courtney's availability. Of course with my love for light in photos, my wedding day ended up being 100% cloud covered, not a single ray of sunshine. From the photos, you would NEVER tell that the day was overcast and EXTREMELY cold. Courtney captured every detail beautifully. Something everyone in my family keeps saying is that we spent so much time planning all of the little decor details at the reception and none of us had time to look at them on the big day, it is so great to have the pictures to see all of our work come together. I cannot stop smiling when I look at the pictures, and I know with complete confidence that Courtney made our day. I would recommend her to any bride to be, you will NOT be disappointed with the amazing pictures and a fun, super-sweet photographer.

    Courtney is the absolute best!!! I cannot say enough about how amazing she is. Not only does she produce high quality work, she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. From the engagement session to the wedding day, she was making me feel beautiful and helping make the day even more special. With Courtney as your photographer, you will not have to worry about your pictures, because they’re are going to be out of this world gorgeous! She is such a skilled photographer and knows how to work in various environments, making any background beautiful. I’m so lucky to have met Courtney - she is a phenomenal photographer and person! My wedding was perfect, but I was sad once it was over partially because I knew that meant I wouldn’t get to work with courtney anymore. If you want the absolute best photographer, choose Courtney!

    I would 100% tell you to book with Courtney! Due to a venue change, it did not work out for us to have Courtney at our wedding. I can tell you she is so prompt with responses and wants to do everything to make sure the day is perfect. She is willing to go above and beyond to make the client happy. Her photos speak for themselves with their beauty, and her kindness is easy to see once you have contact with her.

    Courtney is a talented photographer! She truly knows how to capture your love story in her photos. I know my husband and I will forever cherish our photos taken my Courtney. Not only did we receive beautiful and breath taking photos, we also received a beautiful friend. She truly wants the best for you and for your wedding day to be everything you expected. I want to add that Courtney's husband, Dave helped Courtney on our wedding day and he was just as genuine as Courtney. I have received nothing but compliments on our photos and compliments on how amazing Courtney was on our wedding day from our wedding guests. Courtney also does a wonderful job on getting ALL your photos back to you in a timely manner. I received all mine less than two weeks after our wedding. Not only did we receive our photos that soon, she had posted a preview just a few days after our wedding day and a photo on our wedding day night. You will not regret choosing Courtney as your photographer!

    I had spent several weeks researching local photographers and Courtney was the top on my list. I was so thrilled when I found out she was available for our wedding day. She has a way of capturing all the warmth and feelings in her photos that I absolutely love. She is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. Beautiful pictures. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

    Courtney makes you feel like you've known each other forever! Not only does she treat you like friends, but she makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. She affirmed us throughout the entire engagement session, and gave us WAY more photos then we were expecting - and we are obsessed with them all! On our wedding day she was a sweet and calm presence, and she got our photos back to us LIGHTENING fast! Less than 3 weeks!

    We are so incredibly happy that we chose Courtney as our wedding photographer. She is one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of meeting, and she made us feel comfortable from day one. Her photography style captures the most beautiful moments in such a natural way, and I know we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives! Thank you, Courtney, for going above and beyond any expectations we had - we could not have asked for a better experience!

    Courtney was excellent from beginning to end! We did our engagement and wedding photos with her. She made the two of us, both who don't love having our pictures taken, feel great and comfortable the entire time! We got our galleries within weeks of each session and it's so difficult to choose our favorites!!!

    Courtney is absolutely fantastic! She was extremely assertive from the beginning & continued her bubbly self there on after. She took my lots of "green & romance" to the next level. My now husband & I look forward to working with Courtney in the future! I could not see us working with another photographer.

    Courtney is an absolute dream to work with! We had her shoot our engagement photos, and we were in love!! Our wedding was out of state, and after the fantastic engagement photos, there was no way she wasn't shooting our wedding! She was so patient with us, our ever changing timeline, and any other challenges we threw her way. Courtney usually posts a 'preview photo' the day of the event, which is so amazing and fun! She also gets the full album returned super fast (almost 1300 from our wedding in less than a month!). Apart from the fact that she shoots absolutely AMAZING photos, she is so sweet, personable, and kind. We absolutely love Courtney and her photos!! She was one of the best wedding decisions we made!!

    Courtney is an AMAZING photographer and person. I found her on google, and immediately fell in love with her soft, romantic style and her sweet personality. The way she captures details is pure magic, and she works absolute wonders with light. Courtney made our wedding day so much fun, and I am obsessed with our photos! They are so perfect, and I'm still staring at them (and tearing up) months later. She really understood our vision and us as a couple. I started calling her our "photografriend", because that's exactly what she is. I highly recommend Courtney, and am already plotting when we can do our next shoot together! She is one of the most talented, kind-hearted people I have ever met. Thank you, Courtney!

    I can not say enough good things about working with Courtney! Not only is she the sweetest person but she takes the most beautiful pictures! Finding a photographer for your wedding is stressful! This was such an important part for me knowing that once the day is over the photographs are what you have to look back and smile at and Courtney exceeded all expectations! I knew immediately after our engagement photos that we had found the right girl. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable getting pictures taken when sometimes that can feel so awkward. My husband even said he had fun after our engagement session! Leading up to the wedding day so was so easy to work with and answered all of my questions and gave me advice on things I was unsure about. Courtney captured our wedding day memories and I will cherish those photographs forever!!!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Courtney Smith Photography! She was a wonderful person to work with and her work is incredible. She made our day run smoothly. We had a first look before the wedding and she made us feel so comfortable. I will cherish our wedding and engagement photos forever and I thank her for capturing our day to perfection. You cannot go wrong with Courtney! She is the BEST!

    I cannot give enough praise to Courtney for the FANTASTIC job she did with our Engagement and Wedding photos! Upon searching for a wedding photographer, I quickly became overwhelmed. I stumbled upon Courtney and immediately fell in love with her photography style. We setup an initial meeting over coffee which confirmed that she was the right photographer for me. I left the meeting feeling like I found a new friend. Courtney is a genuine, loving, kind-hearted person who truly loves what she does, and this is clearly depicted through her photography.

    My husband and I are not photo people, yet she made us feel comfortable and beautiful. All of our friends & family at the wedding had nothing but GREAT things to say about Courtney - and her husband who helped her throughout the day! My bridesmaids and I 'oooed' and 'aahhhed' over all of the wedding photos - every single photo was stunning! I am so happy with my choice to have Courtney photograph our wedding. I now have a beautiful, special keepsake that allows me to relive the most beautiful day of my life.

    Many of my married friends advised me to make sure I had a good, creative photographer. After their own experiences, they said the photographer was one of the most important choices. After the day is over (and it flies by), the only thing you have is the photographs. A few days and weeks passed after my wedding, and I already could feel what my friends had stated. The blur of that day was causing my memories to blur as well.

    When Courtney sent me the photographs, I spent a good hour looking at them, smiling, laughing, and shedding a few tears. She truly captured the very personalities of my family, friends, husband, and myself! When I look at my pictures, I can remember just how that day felt and all the sweet times and laughter feel crystal clear! What a treasure!

    I definitely made the best choice in Courtney! She is passionate, flexible, professional, and extremely joyful! She made my husband and I feel comfortable and natural when taking pictures (which is a wonder). We are so glad to have her work as our wedding keepsake!

    I spent weeks searching for a photographer. I was getting really disappointed because as a photographer myself I was really picky. I could not find someone who not only had the quality of photos that I want but also didn't cost $6k. I found Courtney through google and instantly knew that I wanted her as my photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to the moment I received my wedding photos she was nothing but perfect. I had multiple people at my wedding mention to me just how sweet and nice she was and what a great choice in photographer she was. Even more praises came when they saw the resulting photos. Classy, modern and fresh. I have heard some who have had bad experiences with their wedding photographer but not me. I couldn't be happier with Courtney's work. If you are reading this and have yet to book a photographer, trust me, stop looking and go with Courtney. You will end up with the perfect story for your big day.

    I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect photographer for our wedding - one with the quality I wanted, the option for a second shooter and plenty of hours of coverage, and within our budget. As soon as I saw Courtney's work, I was sold. Her photos are so full of life - they are absolutely beautiful! Honestly, I booked Courtney before I officially had the ring on my finger because I couldn't risk her not being our wedding photographer! ;) We just received our wedding photos and they are literally all so stunning. I can't even begin to narrow down my favorites because there are so many! Not only that, but Courtney is such a blessing to work with. She was happy to meet up with me to help me plan a day-of schedule which took away a lot of stress. She made me feel confident that everything was going to be perfect, and she recommended a great location for our bridal party photos. I loved everything about our photos and the whole experience. Thank you so much Courtney!

    Courtney did an amazing job photographing our wedding. She is sweet, talented, professional, attentive, patient, and incredibly easy to get along with. I give her 10 stars! Both my husband and I normally don't feel comfortable in front of a camera, but with Courtney it was effortless. It was amazing. We have so many pictures that I will cherish forever. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

    I honestly cannot say enough great things about Courtney Smith Photography! She is a fantastic photographer and we couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos! Courtney makes you feel very comfortable even if you aren't used to being in front of the camera! All of her photos turned out so natural and beautiful! I would definitely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer in the St. Louis area.
