Hey there

I’m Courtney!

I don't believe the best photographs are created.

I believe they're noticed.

Long before I photographed weddings, I was the person flipping through old family photo albums for hours.

The blurry photos.

The imperfect snapshots.

The images that somehow said more because they weren't trying to.

Those photos taught me something important:

Memories don't need to be perfect to be meaningful.

That's exactly how I approach weddings today.

Instead of turning your wedding day into one giant photoshoot, I document it as it unfolds.

The laughter.

The chaos.

The tears.

The quiet moments nobody else sees.

The things you'll miss while you're busy living them.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me:

  • Chasing my toddler around outside

  • Developing film in my home darkroom

  • Road-tripping with my family

  • Listening to music and podcasts

  • Daydreaming about my next vintage camera purchase

GET IN TOUCH
A woman with long wavy hair in a gray top and black pants appears in four different poses in a photoshoot. In one pose, she is sitting on the floor with a camera next to her and confetti falling around her. In another, she is standing against a white brick wall, holding a magazine and speaking or singing. In a third pose, she is standing in front of a window, holding a magazine and looking to the side. In the final pose, she is smiling and reading a magazine titled 'Get in Touch' against a white brick background.
