Fine Art Film Photographer & LIFESTYLE CURATION
Where fine art, film photography meets PERSONALIZED & curated experiences
learn more
Each role I play fuels my passion for creating tailored experiences for my clients. Specializing in fine-art wedding and portrait photography, I fell in love with capturing your very best moments at the age of sixteen. Combining artistic flair and determination, I launched my studio to create images that aren’t just seen, but felt.
Your wedding day is a sacred and special day where two become one, and it is meant to be joyously celebrated. Inspired by fashion, travel, nature and love, I want to be your partner and help transform your wedding day into a one-of-a-kind experience with creativity and passion.
Similarly, my journey into motherhood deepened my appreciation for beauty in the everyday moments, steering me towards lifestyle curation. Whether it's designing custom birth announcements or organizing outfits for well-planned excursions, I am ready to craft beautiful vignettes that leave a lasting impression, and help you design a life that’s as stylish as it is heartfelt.

THE PORTFOLIO
When you choose to work with us, you're not just hiring a photographer, you’re hiring a teammate.
Shooting film requires precision and thoughtful consideration when composing each image. This slower pace of shooting invites a level of intimacy and connection between my clients that allows for me to see your relationship move in real time. This level of connection is what sets us apart, and helps elevate your gallery to make it feel like you.
Because of its delicate beauty and our intentional and personal approach, our chosen medium is film. With ethereal, luminous colors, texture, and depth, there is a softness that is exclusive to film and will always stand the test of time.

We Capture Timeless
Moments with Elegance.
EMMA, BRIDE
We are blown away. These have the exact effect I was hoping for but couldn’t quite envision on my own. They tell our story here at this moment in our lives. Thanks for capturing it so perfectly and beautifully. I feel like our kids and our grandkids are gonna talk about how cool we are a million years from now looking at these photos and that’s exactly what I wanted all along.

CAROLINE, BRIDE
We reached out to Courtney and she was so sweet! She was always so professional. One of my favorite things she explained to us was that she was "on our team." From the first day we met to our wedding day, Courtney was amazing! She was on top of everything and did a fantastic job capturing our special day! She even captured things that we already forgot happened at our wedding! We 10/10 recommend Courtney and her team!
"SHE EXPLAINED TO US THAT SHE WAS ON OUR TEAM."
Heather, BRIDE
Courtney did the most amazing job of capturing the sheer, authentic JOY of our wedding! I can't stop looking at the pictures and smiling when I remember how much fun we had all day long. Truly the most perfect celebration of our love story that we could have asked for!

Liane, BRIDE
I told friends, family, and everyone that Courtney was money well spent and the best investment of my wedding! She was the ultimate professional, but even more than that, she was like a confidante who knew all the backstage secrets and helped us be at ease through the whole process. Things like whether it rained during the ceremony, if we weren't staying on the timeline, even if my dress was a little too tight - I distinctly remember Courtney's stories, advice, and commitment to making us laugh and reminding us to take it all in stride. Thank you so much! You are the best!
"The best investment of my wedding."
