About this vendor
I love vibrant color, photos with personality & authenticity.
My style is charismatic, playful & vibrant. I tend to take a more photojournalistic approach, prioritizing natural light and moments over poses. I love photos that feel natural, organic & free. While I may ask you to sit and smile for me, I will more likely ask you to run, play & even dance! I strive to create images that illustrate the pure joy in these moments & represent your character, quirks & love story.
I specialize in weddings for the super in love & elegantly fun couple.

We had the most amazing experience working with Courtney and her husband Joey on our wedding day. They are both so kind, friendly and patient and made us feel super comfortable and...
relaxed. After the wedding Courtney got our photos back to us very quickly which was such an amazing surprise and the photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We are obsessed with all the photos and the way that Courtney and Joey captured so many special moments on our day. Courtney is extremely talented, professional and easy to work with and we cannot recommend her enough!!
Courtney and Joey are AMAZING and I can not recommend them enough! My husband is not a huge fan of being photographed so I knew picking our photographer would be a very sensitive a...
nd daunting task. The minute we sat down and met with Courtney, we both knew she was the perfect photographer for us. She was so kind and sensitive to our own awkwardness being in front of a camera and truly made taking engagement photos and most importantly, taking our wedding photos fun and stress free! It felt like Courtney and Joey were just part of the family on our wedding day and all of our family, friends and siblings had a blast spending the day with them! Also, did I mention that their photos are STUNNING? Courtney was also so flexible and kind when the pandemic hit and we had to go through the process of canceling and rescheduling our wedding. If Courtney has your date open, BOOK HER, IMMEDIATELY.
I cannot say enough good things about Courtney. From her skills as an amazing photographer to the absolutely sweet, down to earth and genuine person she is. She captured our day co...
mpletely and perfectly. Our photos are our most prized keepsake from our day, and I can honestly say I love each and every one of them. She was a necessary calming presence on the day of and has been such a joy to work with throughout the whole planning process. I want to use her for all our future big life events that obviously need documentation ;-)!
Don't miss out on Courtney. For both our engagement and wedding photos, Courtney made us feel comfortable, at ease, and had such great tips to capture all those "candid" photos. My...
(now) husband is a bit camera shy, but you'd never know it. Courtney brought out every smile, eye twinkle and adorable look.
She's casual, but super professional - approachable and so so friendly. She took the time to check in ahead of the big day to hear what would be most important to us, any little details we didn't want to miss.
The final product of photos blew me away. Everything was perfect and I cannot thank her enough and so grateful we have these beautiful photos to look back on for the rest of our days.
THANK YOU COURTNEY! :)
Courtney and her assistant Rachel was seriously our guardian angels on our wedding day and before! We met Courtney for our engagement session, and immediately felt comfortable with...
her. Neither of us had had photos taken professionally before, and she helped guide us until we felt more comfortable.
On our wedding day, we had a long list of family photos and we really wanted to get them all done so we could attend the cocktail party. Courtney and Rachel were rockstars, so efficient, but not rushed at all. We got all of the family photos done, enjoyed the cocktail party, and even had a few minutes to ourselves right after the ceremony. They also got some amazing pictures of the dance floor! I couldn't have dreamt of a better wedding photographer than Courtney. She is so professional, sweet, creative and of course takes gorgeous photos.
If you're thinking about booking Courtney for your wedding, or anything, DO IT!
Courtney photographed our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with her work. She took absolutely gorgeous photos - and that comes from a couple who generally doesn't like to ...
be photographed! She also made us feel completely at ease when she was taking the photos and this reflected in how they turned out. Finally, she was super accommodating and easy to communicate with, and her rates are very reasonable. I would 100% recommend her - she's a real talent.
I just LOVE Courtney! She was so amazing to work with and was so organized. She has a great eye and a great personality. Her work is so beautiful and works really well with you to ...
make sure every detail is exactly what you wished for. I would highly recommend her! I will be using her in the future for our family photos
Courtney was amazing to work with, and the photos that we ended up with were fantastic. To any prospective couples looking for someone to help capture their big day we could not re...
commend a better photographer!
I cannot say enough good things about Courtney! My husband and I reached out to Courtney after a fiasco with our original photographer and from our very first meeting, I knew we we...
re in great hands. Courtney is super sweet, calm, patient and so fun! Her photography style was exactly was I was looking for with our wedding photos - she uses natural light to her advantage and makes photos look and feel natural (not staged). I always feel super awkward about doing poses, but that never happened with Courtney. She had the best ideas for things my husband and I (and bridal party) could do that make our photos look fantastic! Courtney was very prompt in her responses to me, whether by phone or email, which was amazing. On our wedding day, Courtney was early and was really helpful in making sure we had everyone we needed for photos and we kept to our tight timeline. She was also super patient when it came to grabbing my husband and I away from conversations for photos. Having Courtney as your wedding photographer might be the best decision you make. I highly recommend her!
Hiring Courtney was hands down the best wedding related decision we made. We did an engagement session, which we mostly did because neither of us like having our picture taken and ...
we needed some practice, and Courtney's laid back personality quickly put us at ease and we actually had a lot of fun. It put me completely at ease that Courtney would take great photos on our wedding day.
Courtney is incredibly talented and the pictures from our wedding day blew me (and everyone else) away. She has a way of capturing the day and the emotions in a genuine way. She really did an amazing job. On top of that, Courtney is so easy going and was a pleasure to work with. She was really professional with all of the planning and communication involved. She talked to me for weeks about where we should get ready (from a picture standpoint) and even went to a few of our first look places to help us decide where we would get the best shots. She really went above and beyond and helped make my wedding day more perfect than I could have imagined.
If you're considering hiring Courtney, don't hesitate. I really can't recommend her enough. P.S. her prices are AMAZING!
Courtney shot our wedding this June (2015) in Santa Rosa and it was incredible! She also did our engagement shoot, as it was part of a package we chose. Courtney is so sweet, thoug...
htful, and flexible. She helped us chose a location for our engagement shoot after asking me some questions about what we were looking for. We didn't necessarily like getting our photos taken (it can feel kind of weird!) but she was just so nice and told us exactly what to do and let us be ourselves. We communicated mainly through email and she always responded quickly and thoroughly to my (MANY) questions, concerns, and ideas. While Courtney and her husband (our second photographer) shot our wedding, she did a great job following some guidelines during the ceremony that our officiant asked of (i.e. stay in the back and do not move around too much so as not to distract the guests from what is going on!) and blended into the background- that's exactly what we wanted from a photographer! Someone who fit in and didn't stand out or put their camera in people's faces. They were both awesome! AND THE PHOTOS!! Oh my goodness... I could not have imagined more gorgeous photos! Courtney plays with light in a way that just made us all glow =) She also captured some really special moments that we never got to see (people getting ready for the big day, funny dance moves from guests, and intimate laughs and hugs). Plus I must have gotten close to 1,000 photos (not sure if this is her normal count or not) to choose from through an online gallery which I could share with my friends and family, on top of a USB with all our photos on it (also beautifully packaged and sent to us through the mail). It was just an incredible experience working with Courtney and I would highly recommend her to any friend or loved one who is looking for an awesome photographer!
