Signature Work

17 years of destination weddings have taken me to some of the most beautiful places on earth. Traveling for weddings has taught me that the location is only half of a wedding day.
The other half is knowing how to find the light, read the moment, and make two people feel completely at ease somewhere they've never been.
That's what you'll see in the work below.

"Courtney was amazing! She knew exactly how to run through the day and had such a
calming                    . 
She was so                  we ended up having a little extra time to play around after our family photos. My husband and the boys loved having her shoot their photos and mentioned they felt so natural."

Something Beautiful

Every wedding tells a story. My job is to find the most beautiful way to tell yours. Through the candid moments that happen when no one is looking to the details you spent months choosing and the in-between frames that end up meaning the most. Art and emotion, together in every image.
