EVERLASTING MEMORIES

that you can feel

I’m Courtney!

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 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.

Meet The Wild Opal Team!

  • Photographer/Videographer

    I am here for the adventure! Coffee is my life, right behind adventure. I live for making people laugh and having a good time. Find me behind the lens majority of the time, just telling dad jokes a little louder. I also can't say no to a good dessert table at your wedding so save one for me!

  • Photographer

    I love Jesus, eating popcorn, and watching cheesy movies with my sweet hubby.

    You can usually find me with a Nesspresso coffee in one hand, a camera in the other and a suggestion to grab some Chipotle at the tip of my tongue!

  • Videographer

    Being behind the camera is when I feel the most creative. Trying new perspectives and angles and stepping outside of the normal box.

    When I am not shooting wedding you can pretty much always find me watching a sports game, trying new food or traveling with my girlfriend.

An entire team of rockstar humans at your finger tips!!

Whether its one of us, or several of us attending your wedding- we are going to have a blast together!!

All of these talented humans are committed to giving you the best, most unique experience you can have on your wedding day while working for the Wild Opal team. All of the photographs and videos captured are edited to specifically have Wild Opal’s style, and we all shoot genuinely and candidly capturing those real + raw, unposed moments.
