I would recommend Kortni to everyone if I could!! We hired her pretty early in our planning process, meeting her for our engagement photoshoot in June 2023 and then not seeing her again until our wedding September 2024. Both times she was absolutely amazing. At our wedding, all of the guests were commenting on how great she was. If you have any ideas or inspiration, Kortni will take it and make it better than you expected. When it comes to the quality of her pictures, what you see on her website and social media is exactly what you get. She takes the time to make sure every picture she gives you is the best. Kortni is one of the best photographers I have seen and I honestly can't thank her enough for giving me such amazing photos.
Kortni was our photographer for our engagement shoot in Lake Placid. We knew when we looked at Kortni’s instagram she would be perfect. We even included our dog. Kortni was so patient with her and she knew how exactly what shots would be the best. We’re so happy with our photos and we get to treasure them forever.
Kortni was our photographer for our small wedding yesterday (2.03.23) at Friends Lake Inn. She was so easy to work with and made group pictures a breeze. In the weeks after hiring her and leading up to the wedding, her communication was great as well. She also braved the negative temperatures to allow us to get some outdoor shots. I can't wait to see our photos as I know they'll be amazing!!
Update: we just got our full gallery back yesterday, 5.26.23, and it is beautiful! Kortni did and amazing job and captured some really great moments.
Cannot say enough good things about Kortni Maria Photography! We hired Kortni back in 2021 when we got engaged to photograph our wedding day. At the time, we booked a traditional venue in the Lake Placid area. As we got more into the planning process, we decided to shift gears and go with a smaller, more intimate wedding at an Airbnb. Kortni was more than happy to accommodate the change and helped us to plan out our day of timeline given that we didn’t have a day of coordinator. Not only did the photographs that we’ve received so far exceed our expectations, but Kortni went above and beyond on the day of. Her editing style is so unique and we have had countless friends and family members tell us that the photos are magazine worthy. We truly could not be happier and are so excited to see the rest of the photos. Highly recommend and hope to work with Kortni again in the future for other milestones!
Kortni’s pictures literally, and I mean literally, left us speechless. Her talent is absolutely incredible. Aside from the breathtaking pictures, Kortni herself is such an awesome person! Working with her was comfortable and it felt like we’ve known her forever. She was awesome at planning the locations of the shoot (since we weren’t from NY) and was very communicative. She was also timely with getting our pictures back to us. I would recommend her a million times over. These pictures and these moments were absolutely beautiful and more than we could have asked for! Thanks so much Kortni!!!
If I could give Kortni 1 million stars I would. Kortni and her second shooter were the ultimate dream team. From the second I met Kortni I was so thankful I hired her. She helped me pick some of my other vendors, due to the amount of trust I had in her. Starting from our engagement shoot, Kortni and I bonded so well. My, now husband is so shy in front of the camera and Kortni made him feel so comfortable & for that I’m forever grateful. Kortni was phenomenal and I would 10000% recommend her to any of my friends / family.
Kortni made our surprise proposal day exponentially better. We communicated for several months leading up to the proposal and Kortni was super responsive. She even helped me form a plan B in case of emergency. During the shoot, she was a pro at acting unsuspecting before the proposal happened. Afterwards, she gave directions for us (not photogenic) to pose and be ourselves. It felt super natural and fun. Our pictures turned out amazing, I think we look at them everyday. I would absolutely work with Kortni again and recommend her to everyone I know.
Kortni was the most incredible wedding photographer anyone could ever want. If you're even considering having her shoot your wedding DO IT!!!!! She captures the most magical and perfect photos (even for a couple that absolutely hates having their photo taken)! She is so friendly and calming, there will be no stress when she is shooting your day but she will still capture every important moment. Every time something was happening we would turn around and she was there capturing it. She gives you sneak peaks almost immediately and the photos are absolute perfection. She also does an engagement shoot which allows you to get comfortable with each other and have even more memories to cherish forever. I cannot recommend Kortni enough, she's absolutely amazing!!
Kortni was so kind, relaxed and easy to work with! The whole process was very organized. She guided us through our engagement and wedding photos perfectly and we felt so comfortable with her. The photos came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!
Kortni is such an incredible photographer and person, we could not be more thankful to have had her capture our engagement photos and wedding photos! She is so talented, fun and professional! She has such a unique and beautiful editing style, we have gotten endless compliments on our photos from her. She documents in a journalistic way where she captures real moments as they unfold. She is so flexible, has so many fun ideas and is so adventurous so any fun ideas you have for an engagement session or wedding photos, she is your girl! We do not have all of our wedding photos back yet and I already have too many favorites to print all of them to hang on our walls. I know once we have them all back there will be sooo many more. Choosing a photographer was difficult for me as it was such an important piece for me; but Kortni made it easy, I had 1000% faith in her that the photos would be nothing short of perfection! Definitely do not wait to book her!!
Kortni recently did our engagement pictures and is scheduled to do our wedding photos next September. My fiancé and I were both nervous because neither of us feel we are the most photogenic people. Kortni did such a great job of making us feel comfortable, directed us where to stand/what to do, and was so sweet and patient the entire time. We received our sneak peeks just a couple short days after and are so in love with the way she captured us! We’re excited to see the rest and have her capture our wedding day. You definitely won’t regret booking her!
My husband and I stumbled upon Kortni’s page while we were contemplating having a big wedding or just running away to the mountains and eloping. We immediately fell in love with her unique style of work and decided let’s head to the mountains. She answered in a timely and professional manner, and took away all of our fears about eloping. She helped guide us through the planning process, gave us all the scoop on the best places to elope, and even lent us her husband, Mike, for the day to officiate the wedding. Making the decision to have 2 strangers be the only two people at your wedding can be nerve racking, but the day of the elopement, Kortni made it feel like we had known her for a lifetime. She made the day about just the two us, made us feel so comfortable, and even scaled some waterfalls and cliffs to capture some of our favorite shots! My husband and I were absolutely blown away by her photos! We would pick Kortni a million times over and don’t have a single regret about our elopement day. Kortni is the best of the best and we couldn’t be more grateful that we chose her!
A friend took photos of our wedding as a wedding present, but we only got a couple "sneak peak" photos and none of my husband and I. We were heartbroken! On our first year anniversary we got back in our wedding clothes & Kortni got some amazing photos of us! My husband & I are a bit awkward in front of the camera, but you would never know from the pictures! Kortni made us feel so much more relaxed, and we had a really enjoyable time. She even got us sneak peaks by the next morning & the rest of the pictures soon afterwards! We were so thankful for the amazing opportunity work with Kortni & to make some really beautiful memories!
My husband and I wanted a very small wedding. When we talked about the things that were truly important , the photographs were the one thing we wanted done right. We literally stalked Kortni’s page along with another to determine the style that felt like us. The photo that made our decision was on with a couple in the woods with a orange fog bomb. It was amazing!
Upon starting our work with Kortni she was organized, professional and caring all in the same breathe. She was by far the easiest vendor to work with during a time that can be stressful.
Her photographs of our special day are top notch! She captured everything we were looking for and then some. You will not regret choosing Kortni for the day you want to remember for the rest of your lives.
Hi everyone Am here to testify of a great and powerful spell caster called Dr Tunde I was so confused and devastated when my husband left me without a word, I needed him back desperately because i loved him so much. So a friend of mine introduced me to this powerful spell caster who had helped her in getting her lover back, so i contacted him and he promise that in less than 72 hours he will come back to me. After i did all he asked to my greatest surprise my husband who had refuses to speak with me came back home and asked for forgiveness for all he had made me go through and now we are living happily together, if you have any relationship problem i will advice you contact him Below are his contact details via email babatundesolutioncentre1@gmail. com or his WhatsApp mobile number +2348115849683
Kortni was just wonderful from the second we were in contact with her. She helped guide us to the perfect elopement spot. And she took the most beautiful pictures to make our day even more memorable. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. We felt she captured our personalities and passion in all of the photos. Her husband, Mike, officiated our ceremony which made the entire process so much easier. We would highly recommend both Kortni and Mike!
Kortni has been so incredible to work with! I was following her for awhile on Instagram so when I got engaged I knew I wanted her to shoot our engagement and wedding photos! Her style is so unique and beautiful! Once I reached out to her I loved how she asked questions about myself and my fiancé to get to know us. You can tell Kortni truly cares about all her couples! We get married in October so have only gotten engagement photos but we were absolutely blown away by them! My fiancé and I were so nervous about getting our photos taken and being super awkward but Kortni made us feel so comfortable and coached us through all the poses. We could not have been happier with them! Looking through them I think my fiancé said “wow that’s a good one” to every single one haha! Kortni is not only talented but is a super sweet and kind person and has a calming presence and I couldn’t be more excited for her to be with us and photograph our wedding day!
Kortni is an incredible photographer and artist. We were so lucky to find her to be part of our wedding day. She really made us feel comfortable through out the day and was accommodating to our requests for shots at various favorite locations. Kortni's photographs are spectacular and artistic. Kortni's husband Mike was the officiant for our wedding & he did a wonderful job. He was very personable and also helped guide the flow of the wedding. I can't say enough great things about our experience with them.
Kortni was nothing short of incredible. She did such an amazing job with everything and our pictures are everything we hoped they would be!! We ended up changing plans 3 times and Kortni was amazing each time we had to change plans. She was on time, stayed way later than I expected, and was just so amazing to work with. THANK YOU!!
This review is long overdue but Kortni was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have asked for. She captured everything perfectly, these pictures are an absolute dream and they are something we will cherish forever! I look back at them often and I am still so in love with every single one. You can tell that she puts her heart into every single picture, it’s incredible. Highly recommend!!!
It was an absolute privilege to get to work with Kortni for our elopement!! This will be a long review because we LOVED our experience with Kortni, but the short version is: hire her!! Not only is Kortni an incredible photographer but also a kind, calm, wonderful person to be around. She is so flexible, adventurous, and brings the perfect calm, kind energy to what can be a hectic day. She is truly an expert at her craft and I cried SO much when we saw our photos for the first time. The photos Kortni captured were beautiful, authentic, entirely natural, and somehow truly captured our love and that magical moment in time. She is an expert at calm, specific direction and knows exactly what to say to guide us in the moment—she made me want to hire her for photo shoots whenever humanly possible because it was just so much FUN! We didn’t know what to expect, never having had a photographer around us before, but Kortni exceeded our hopes for what it could be like by a million miles! We are kind of camera-shy people, but with Kortni it was insanely easy, comfortable, and resulted in a STUNNING end product. I can be pretty picky, coming from a fine art background myself, and was honestly blown away by the photos she took. I was so worried about getting good photos when looking for a photographer and I imagine many brides feel the same. Thankfully, if you’re reading this review, you’ve found Kortni. And that means you don’t have to worry any more—just book her 😊.
Now into some more specific-to-us detail, we were one of the COVID couples who had to make the tough choice to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, but Kortni was incredible throughout the whole process. We actually live in Montana currently, but our original wedding was planned to be in the Lake George area. When we decided to postpone the wedding and elope in Montana in the meantime, we were shocked when Kortni offered to travel out to Montana to photograph our elopement instead! She and her equally awesome husband, Mike, made the long drive out. We invited them to stay at an Airbnb near Glacier National Park with us and they’re awesome houseguests to top it all off! If only we lived closer to the Adirondack region we’d totally be real-life friends with these lovely people. They were SO patient with us and willing to be unbelievably flexible as we went back and forth about whether to have the elopement in the Tetons or Glacier, all while they were driving across the country toward us!! We ultimately settled on Glacier and it was a truly magical evening. Everyone we show the photos to literally gasps a little at how beautiful they are! We honestly can’t believe we got so lucky—thank you SO MUCH Kortni!!! We are beyond excited to see her again and have her photograph our full-on wedding (the one we postponed due to COVID) this weekend!! It’s a tremendous relief to know that despite the inevitable stress that goes along with a larger event Kortni is one part we absolutely don’t have to worry about. Her calm, confident, kind presence will be a blessing in the midst of a hectic day.
As I’m sure you’ve seen as you’re looking through her work, Kortni is truly an artist. I tell everyone I know that hiring her was the best decision I made about the wedding by far (second only to deciding to marry my now-husband, of course 😉). So, help your future self out—check this off your giant to-do list. Kortni’s it, she’s the real deal, and will be the best decision you make for your wedding too.
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Kortni document our wedding celebration (with an amazing second shooter as well). If you could be so lucky that she still has your date available- book her now. In addition to her artistic style and eye, she brings a calm/cool demeanor to what is such a stressful day. I think it is just as important for your wedding photographer to not only be skilled, but also a genuinely good person- Kortni is absolutely both. Never for a second did we have a doubt in her and she completely exceeded our expectations. Our guests are still talking about how absolutely gorgeous our photos are- and yours will, too! We can't wait to have her document our next big moments in life.
Our photos turned out absolutely breathtaking! I'm in love!! She was such a pleasure to work with, so easy going and really captured those special moments of the day. Run, do not walk and book here ASAP!!!
Kortni is an absolute dream to work with. Prior to us hiring her, I had seriously stalked her page for a long time LOL. Being a creative myself, I was looking for someone that had a unique aesthetic and paid as much attention to detail as I did. That being said, her editing style honestly blew me away. I can recognize her pictures amongst a sea of hundreds (and I follow a LOT of photographers) - hers ALWAYS stand out. Not to mention, her keen eye for framing and simply capturing the emotions amongst her subjects is something I fell in love with. This is a skill not all photographers have - she is the complete package. Needless to say, I was actually jumping for joy when we reached out to her and she was available for our date. Come wedding day, she was a complete angel. Soft spoken, but assertive in what she knew would give us the best possible pictures. She also somehow managed to snap her images without being boastful about her presence. From experience, some photographers are very "up front" and in the couples faces, especially during the ceremony. Kortni however, was able to capture intimate moments with us hardly knowing she was there. She was like a ninja in disguise! As a bride and groom who obviously are experiencing a day of overwhelming emotions, this was an added bonus that we didn't know we needed. Having her behind the scenes rather than "in our face" (for lack of a better term) made the experience extremely peaceful. We felt like we could enjoy ourselves and digest the day as it was happening, rather than be bossed around, just to get the shots we wanted. She was able to capture every necessary shot, but also candids that were extremely meaningful and personal to us and our personalities. She was kind and easy to work with, especially amongst our crazy families and the occasional outbursts of emotions. Our friends and families are absolutely blown away by her images already, and we only have the sneak peaks! They have never seen edits like hers, and can not say enough about how amazingly beautiful all of the images are so far. If you are questioning hiring Kortni, STOP thinking and do it NOW!!! She is well worth the money - heck I would have paid double! We can not express enough how appreciative we are to have had her at our wedding, capturing the best day of our lives.
We absolutely loved our experience with Kortni!!! She did SUCH a good job capturing our silliness and love for each other. Her pictures are beautiful, and we couldn't recommend her more.
Kortni is Amazing! She never fails to exceed our expectations and deliver the most stunning galleries. My husband and I 100% recommend her to any newly engaged couples that are looking for a wedding photographer, or couples that just want to have a fun session just because!
Hiring Kortni to take our engagement and wedding photos was the easiest decision I had to make throughout the planning process- she’s just the best. She’s incredibly professional, and her photos are the perfect balance of her style and the client’s personality/style. We had a tiny wedding and short engagement, and Kortni was super willing to work with our quick timeframe. Both the portraits and candids reflected our day so well!
I honestly can't stress this enough - HIRE KORTNI!
My fiancé Alex and I were completely blown away by how stunning our engagement photos were at our sunset shoot in the Adirondacks last Summer. Kortni is an amazing photographer with extraordinary talent and there is no doubt that it is portrayed beautifully through her photos. Besides her being super professional, she is also a huge pleasure to work with. If you're still looking for a photographer, look no further - Kortni is your girl! You are guaranteed to have the most alluring & captivating photos you'll cherish forever.
We are beyond excited for her to shoot our Wedding day in 2021!
Booking Kortni for our Adirondack elopement was the best decision we could have made. She was everything we hoped for and more! We are usually awkward in photos and she made our photo shoot so fun and effortless. We genuinly had such a fun time. We got our sneak peek photos back quickly and they were amazing. When we got our full album back I was blown away. I expected to get a decent amount of photos that were amazing, but they were all amazing! I could pick any picture out of our album and it would be worthy of being framed. The photos also capture our true selves and don't look posed which is exactly what we wanted. We are SO happy with our decision to have Kortni as our photographer. She is extremely talented and I would recommend her to anyone I know.
As a bonus she is up for any adventurous ideas! When I suggested getting in a canoe she was all for it.
Wow we are completely blown away by our wedding photos by Kortni!! We knew she was amazing after much research and our engagement photos, but our wedding photos are even better than we could have imagined! Kortni was so fast to respond, so easy to work with and made us feel completely comfortable. We are usually not that great with photos but she made us feel at ease and everything felt so natural. She captured our love perfectly and included the little moments that bring me right back to our perfect day. She guided us with pose ideas and each pose was for a good reason, just trust her she knows what she’s doing! Her photography style is unique, not the typical cliche wedding photos, and so natural and romantic.. I could go on and on! All her photos of her couples look like they belong in a magazine, she is so talented! During COVID she was so understanding about some changes we had to make and just made the entire day stress free. I was running late as usual and Kortni was so patient! Her relaxed nature will put you at ease, which is what every bride needs on her wedding day. The best decision we made while planning our tiny wedding was hiring Kortni. Our photos bring tears to my eyes and give us beautiful memories that will last a life time! Everyone keeps texting me they are the best wedding photos they have seen, and friends that wish they had found her for their weddings. She also traveled out of her way for the engagement session and was so accommodating every step of the way, even sending sweet gifts to her clients. We just loved working with Kortni and she was worth every single penny and more! The memories she provided us are priceless and will be forever cherished. Hire Kortni, you won’t regret it :)
Kortni is amazing! She was so accommodating and understanding as we had to make changes in the midst of the pandemic. Her style is so original, adventurous, and romantic. From the moment we booked her, we were blown away time after time by her art. From hiking with us during our engagement shoot, to capturing special moments we missed or forgot about on our wedding day, Kortni was so supportive, fun, and flexible. We received sneak peaks very shortly after our engagement shoot and our wedding day which was awesome. Even the few guests we had asked us for Kortni's contact information, because they love her so much! We can't recommend Kortni enough!
I can't say enough good things about working with Kortni! Kortni did our engagement photos this fall and we could not be more pleased. We have never had professional photographs done before, but Kortni was fun and easy to work with. By the end we felt like we were talking to a friend. We never felt rushed during our session with her. She had creative ideas that we loved with such an eye for detail. We are incredibly happy with how our engagement photographs came out. She captured us as a couple perfectly, and her editing skills are sharp and unique. She was quick to respond to emails; her website and booking process were incredibly professional and straightforward. She was super helpful in picking a location, and even helping us choose outfits. We are looking forward to having her shoot our wedding in 2021!
Kortni is absolutely amazing. Talented is an understatement -- she is truly an artist when it comes to capturing special and irreplaceable moments. Her photos are pure magic! My husband and I always had the dream of having a small and intimate wedding. Because of this, every detail mattered, especially when it came to choosing our wedding photographer. We had a very specific vision in mind, and after finding Kortni's page, I knew she was capable of bringing our vision to life. She did an incredible job with our engagement photos so we fully trusted her with our wedding. When we received our wedding album, we were blown away. Trust the process with Kortni, you will not be disappointed! We couldn't be happier with the memories she gave us that we will cherish for years to come.
If you’re debating on hiring Kortni let me be the light...DO IT!! She is amazing! My fiancé and I hired her to do our engagement photos and they were absolutely breathtaking! We never had professional photos taken before and she made us feel so comfortable! Our dog was waiting in the car while we got our photos done and she even suggested doing some impromptu photos with our pup that I will forever cherish! We wanted “moody vibes” for our photos and she nailed it! We still hear from people how much they loved our photos! Cannot recommend Kortni enough!!
Kortni was amazing and flexible when we had to pivot our plans to an elopement this year. She was incredibly responsive and professional.
Best of all the photos she captured are more stunning than we could have imagined. She made everyone feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera and we can't wait to have her capture our big party next year. I can't stop looking at these photos and everyone I show them to is blown away by the colors and styling.
If you're reading reviews trying to decide if you should hire Kortni, do it!
We had the pleasure of working with Kortni for our engagement photos and I can not suggest her enough! Both myself and my fiancé had never had professional photos taken and I was worried we would come across as awkward because of that- Kortni immediately eased our nerves and it was like spending the afternoon with an old friend!
Our photos are absolutely stunning, we are completely blown away!
Hire Kortni! You will not be disappointed!
Kortni truly works magic. She captured so much emotion in our elopement photos that we were brought to tears all over again. Her efficiency is unmatched; she is both prepared and professional. I feel so blessed to have had her be a part of our special day this year and cannot wait to work with her again next year at our big celebration. Thank you Kortni for giving us these beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!
My now husband and I booked Kortni quickly after getting engaged. Though we were 2.5 years out, the first thing we really knew was how talented she was, and we needed to jump at the opportunity to have her capture our day. Kortni’s aesthetic is the perfect combination of adventurous and romantic. She is such a pleasure to work with, and offers a relaxing and fun touch to the day. She is the sweetest person, and feels so genuinely for her clients. From hiking with us for our engagement shoot, to going along with anything that came up in planning a wedding in a pandemic, Kortni was so supportive and accommodating. Though we were forced with making changes throughout the planning process, Kortni was the one constant and ray of light that remained. Wedding guests even asked for her information after meeting her because she was so awesome! She gave us sneak peaks immediately after our engagement shoot and wedding. We couldn’t be any happier with our photos, they are so beautiful- we will never get over how talented she is! We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to book her. Besides adopting our dog and marrying each other, Kortni is the best decision my husband and I have ever made!
Kortni is everything you could ever hope for in a photographer. The first time we met was for our engagement photo session. In the days leading up to the shoot, she sent us very helpful resources like what to expect and tips about what to wear. She was so flexible about location, and capturing any pose ideas we had. Right from the start she was SO friendly, easy to talk to and fun to be around. She made us feel at ease, having never had our photos taken before. By the end of the shoot we really felt like best friends.
Our photos turned out soo amazing. Kortni captured every moment in such a natural, unforced way. Her attention to detail, lighting and composition is impeccable. It was a no brainer to hire Kortni for our wedding.
As we all know, 2020 has been a rough year. We happened to schedule our wedding during the height of the pandemic. We had to deal with a date change and then a last minute venue change . Kortni was there for us throughout the whole process. It meant so much to us how caring she was and was still willing to photograph our day.
Our wedding turned out better than we could have imagined. It truly was the best day of our lives and we're so thankful Kortni captured every moment of it. Each photo was composed to perfection and could seriously go on the cover of a wedding magazine. Looking through the pictures brought tears to our eyes, as we relived all the happy memories and emotions of that day. All our guests kept saying how great Kortni was. She was everywhere and nowhere at the same time, capturing all the important moments while not obstructing our guest's view.
We can't say enough positive things about Kortni. She did an outstanding job and we will definitely hire her again in the future. Thank you so so much!
My husband and I can't say enough great things about working with Kortni! From the beginning she was so sweet and always got back to us quickly. When the whole Covid thing hit the fan she was so accommodating and really went above and beyond to work with us as everything ended up changing. After our engagement shoot we couldn't believe how easy and natural the whole experience was and it was the same for the wedding! We got to be ourselves and have fun and it really added to the experience of the big day. Every time a set comes in we're floored by how stunning her work is! We're so lucky to have found her and worked with her, and you will be too!
I cannot recommend Kortni enough for her amazing work! Kortni shot my fiancé and I’s recent elopement in the Adirondacks and we are SO happy with the way our photos turned out. We actually stumbled upon Kortni’s Instagram before even choosing an elopement location and fell in love with her beautiful photos and unique style. We didn’t have anyone else at our elopement so our only photos of the day are from Kortni – and she captured everything perfectly. She really made us feel so comfortable and natural. My husband and I joked after that it felt like we were spending the day with a friend! She was so easygoing and fun while taking incredible photos. Kortni provided us with sneak peaks the night of our elopement which was awesome to be able to share quickly with our friends and family. We just got our full album last week and can’t stop obsessing over her talent.
When Covid affect our original wedding plans I knew the one vendor I wanted to hold on to was Kortni and was so glad we did. From the beginning Kortni was super helpful and responsive. We received a sneak peak the evening of our wedding which was so, so great. Neither of us have ever had professional photos taken and don't really enjoy being in photos but Kortni made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The photos are simply amazing and I still cannot believe how great she made two awkward people look! My friends and family are all in love with the photos as well. I cannot recommend her enough and we are so happy to have such a beautiful keepsake from our wedding day.
Kortni photographed me and my wife’s elopement, and I would highly recommend her for anyone else. We had a small ceremony, just family and three close friends, and Kortni indescribably captured the intimate feeling of our special day. She was very professional and easy to work with. She sort of just melted into the background of our special day, documenting everything without distracting.
We loved Kortni’s photography style, and her eye for capturing the essence of a couple’s relationship. We just got back our full set of photographs, and they are truly stunning (especially the ones of the bride!)
Kortni’s experience and expertise was clear from our initial discussions with her, and she made the whole process of choosing and coordinating with a photographer very simply and straightforward. Simply put, working with Kortni is a breeze. Really can’t recommend her highly enough!
Really great eye, and quality shots. Is thoughtful and easy to work with and get along with. Wouldn't want to work with anyone else. Highly recommend. Took our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. Both have turned out great. We were very happy with the results.
Kortni is amazingly talented and has such an eye for detail! As soon as we let her know we wanted her to take our anniversary photos she was so prompt, helpful and patient throughout the process. When we got there I was so hot at our first location and freezing and windy at the second. Kortni can’t control the weather but she can still take fire photos in any condition and give you memories you will cherish forever! And her editing!!! You can tell how much time and care she puts into each photo she edits. Kortni is the real deal. I can’t wait to print and hang them!
Kortni is the best of the best. She is incredibly talented and professional. My husband & I recently received the full gallery of our wedding photos and we are completely blown away. Kortni truly exceeded our expectations and we could not be any more thankful that our wedding was documented so beautifully. If Kortni is available to photograph your wedding or event- don't even think twice about booking with her! You will not be disappointed! Thank you again, Kortni. We will cherish these amazing photos forever.
Kortni was made for capturing memories for couples! Our wedding gallery is absolutely breathtaking. Every photo is taken with love!! My husband and I recommend Kortni to every couple who is planning a wedding; We promise that there will be no disappointments!!
My Wife HAD to have Kortni has our photographer. She didn't care about colors, flowers, or what we did for food. Her only must have was Kortni!
After seeing our pictures from the wedding I understand why. Kortni did an incredible job. Even our family is talking about how sweet and talented she is!
We now have beautiful pictures to remember the best day of our life's!! Thank you Kortni
Oh my goodness- I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kortni!! I fell in love with her and her work when she photographed my best friends wedding. As soon as I got engaged, I booked her immediately. She rode the waves with us as we had to postpone and change our location of our wedding 4 times due to the pandemic. She drove a few hours and hiked a mountain to get the perfect engagement photos of us. I just got back some sneak peek photos of our wedding she did on June 9th and they are perfect. Her work is unique and amazing.
Kortni can catch emotions and moments like ive never seen from another photographers work. She works hard and is professional.
She is also the sweetest woman!
I recommend her tens time over. I will use her any change I get!
Thank you Kortni, for everything!! I am so greatful to have you apart of our special day! ❤
Kortni and Mikey are good friends of ours. She reached out to us last summer to take a short video of my fiancé and I (at the time). She told us she was just trying it out and testing the waters. When she finished and we got it back, we loved it! Kortni did an awesome job! A couple weeks later she reached out to us about doing our wedding video, she was hesitant because it would be her first video ever but we said “of course!!” Let me tell you, she did an AMAZING job!! It was everything we wanted AND more! It captured all the sweet moments of our special day and we can’t stop watching it! Definitely should book her not only for her photography (which is also amazing) but also her video skills!!
Kortni is everything we could have ever wanted/dreamed of in a photographer. She is so much more than just a “wedding vendor” or an “instagram artist”.
She’s professional, warm, friendly, INCREDIBLY talented and so much more. She made my tomboy self and very camera shy fiancé feel so comfortable the entire shoot. She went out of her way to give us alternatives to our original location as the weather wasn’t cooperating for what we had planned. She even listened and put into action some ideas I had to make our shoot a little more personal!
Not only are we excited about having her shoot our wedding, but we feel like we’re going to be hiring her even years after! Hire Kortni, book Kortni. You won’t regret it, and that “wedding stress” about your photos will completely subside. Kortni’s got your back.
I worked with Kortni on a shoot and her photos came out absolutely amazing. She is so talented - the way she works with lighting and provides such depth to the images is really incredible. She was absolutely so professional and I genuinely hope I get to work with her again - I would recommend her to anyone!
Kortni, Kortni, Kortni! The only way to describe her in one word is AUTHENTIC. I collaborated with Kortni on a styled wedding shoot that I planned a few weekends ago, and I haven't stopped raving about her! She's super easy-going and calm which is just the type of person you need around on wedding day. She's got an amazing knack for photography and you can tell she wholeheartedly loves what she does. Her ability to use light and shadows, capture all the little details and document emotions is really remarkable. If you get the opportunity to work with Kortni it'll no doubt be an amazing experience!
If you want someone to deliver amazing photos while encapturing all the emotions/feelings and raw moments of your relationship, Kortni will deliver all that, and more.
I didn't think someone could capture my relationship so accurately through photos. Both my fiance and I were left in such awe of Kortni's work and CANNOT wait to have her capture our wedding day.
Kortni took absolutely BEAUTIFUL photos of me and my fiancé this winter! We seriously loved working with her - she was so professional, suggested places and gave ideas for locations, and even hiked up a mountain with us. Her photos truly captured our personalities and we had literally so much fun with her. 11/10 would recommend!
We could not be more thrilled with our final album from our winter elopement that Kortni captured for us! We knew that choosing the right photographer was such an important part of our elopement. We connected with Kortni’s work immediately when we were looking at photographers in the area that we were eloping, and we were so excited that she was available. Kortni was a pleasure to be around for the few hours that we had her, and she made us feel extremely comfortable while she captured our day! The entire process was easy and worry free from the first email requesting information all the way to receiving our final album! We are so happy that we chose Kortni and that we have the most stunning photos to relive our special day for the rest of our lives! If you are considering Kortni, we would highly recommend that you book her! You will not be disappointed!
Kortni is super sweet and professional but most importantly has an amazing eye and captures astonishing pictures. Stephen and I were impressed within 24 hours we got samples pictures to start sharing our special day. If I ever had a question while planning the wedding Kortni responded right away. Stephen and I couldn’t ask for a better photographer and HIGHLY recommend Kortni.
We cannot begin to express how thankful we are that Kortni captured our engagement photos and wedding day. She was an absolute delight from start to finish. My husband and I were really lost when it came time for formal pictures and had no clue what we wanted or what we should be doing. Without missing a beat Kortni provided direction quickly, efficiently and with a reassuring smile. We continue to get compliments from our weddings guests such as “Where did you find her? She’s amazing”. We’ve even gotten a few “Where was she when I was getting married?”. Kortni captured the organic moments and all of the small details that we’ll remember the most. Thanks to Kortni we have the most breath-taking and tear-provoking photographs to remember our day. We love her and can’t recommend her enough to everyone. We miss you already Kortni!
We just got our engagement photos from our shoot in Lake George at the end of September. We had such a fun time doing the shoot! Kortni made us feel so comfortable and even took our requests for specific shots. She had so many great ideas and really captured the pictures we were hoping for. We are looking forward to working with her again on our big day!
If you are on the fence about booking Kortni, I can 100% attest that she is DEFINITELY worth the investment! Her creativity, style, and talent are unparalleled. Not only is she insanely skilled, but she is super kind and makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She exceeded my expectations (and I am very particular when it comes to photos) and delivered the most beautiful photos I could have asked for. She is simply incredible!!
