Hi! I’m Courtney

What I love most about photographing weddings—beyond all the feels—is that a single wedding day consists of every type of photography, and I am here for all of it.

I’m honored you are here.

I’m honored to share in your most intimate and special moments on your wedding day. I’m here to listen to your vision and do all that I can to ensure that the important moments are documented in the way you’ve dreamed about. I’ll help you navigate the logistics of your wedding photography needs. I’ll show up with professionalism, kindness, and humanity in all of our interactions.


Est. 2017

In business since 2017, I have a broad range of experience photographing children, families, portraits, event photography, and a bit of product and food photography.

Expertise

A wedding photographer needs to be able to capture it all—the environment, details, intimate and large group portraits, candid moments, fast action, and more—as well as be organized and flexible to change gears quickly to meet the demands of the day.

What I photograph

Most people hire me for full-experience wedding photography for celebrations of 100+ guests, across New England, and mostly in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Approach and Style

My style is a mix of timeless and documentary with emphasis on unscripted moments. Timeless portraits are achieved through direction and positioning you in the best light and locations, with special attention to detail.

My aesthetic is natural and leans toward the brighter side with true-to-life tones to reflect the joyful spirit of your wedding or occasion. While I enjoy editing trends, I want your images to feel relevant 20 years from today. I strive for your images to reflect authentically the true nature of the moment.

Tailored Experience

While I offer standard packages, my approach is tailored to the nuances of each unique wedding and celebration. I believe in getting to know you, so your experience feels genuine and bespoke, while receiving images that are consistent with the aesthetic seen in my portfolio.

MY PROMISE TO YOU

The camera sees what the heart feels when words can’t be spoken.

There isn’t a more impactful way to communicate to our future selves the way things are today, or to celebrate our history, traditions, and loved ones, aside from the power of images.

Perhaps it was the influence of my mom with her 35mm slung around her neck on vacations, holidays, and ordinary afternoons. Or the tubs of old photos and albums stacked away in my family home that makes this craft matter so much to me.

My promise is to deliver the love and joy of beautifully captured memories.
