EVERLASTING MEMORIES

that you can feel

Hey there

The pocket sized human behind the camera all up in your grill.

Obsessed with Chik-fil-a and tiny objects.

I am Canadian born. (no, I don't say 'eh')... not all the time anyways.

I am a wedding photographer and videographer blending storytelling, fun, nostalgia and authentic moments. Whether capturing your wedding on 35mm film, super 8 video, or digital, I create timeless keepsakes for couples who want more meaningful celebrations.

I first tasted my passion for photography 10 years ago- back in high school when I opted in for what I thought would be an easy "A". yes- I did say 10 years ago. that does make me in the third decade of my life.

Over the years this passion has only grown and grown.

To me, being your photographer is more of a friendship than anything else. I want you to come to me and feel comfortable enough to be like “Courtney, girl.... I need you to make me feel beautiful. What should I wear?” and I’m going to come back to you with, "girl, I got you covered! because you’ve got just as many hours in the day as Beyonce does and we can make this shit happen. I know how important these photos are and I’m here for it. I’m also here for the cake and champagne at weddings, but 99% for the photos.

My approach with photography and videography is more of a free spirited, candid, heartfelt shoots. I thrive off the candids!!

I am really good at being a fly on the wall. But like if that fly were super hilarious and wearing shoes. I photograph people who are looking for someone to remind them years down the road, how they felt in this particular moment. And to pass on heirlooms onto your family for generations to come.

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.
