ABOUT COUrtney

I’m a QUIRKY, TRIVIA LOVING wORLD TRAVELER Who can’t Sit Still

I’m Courtney, not Eliza Jane, for that would be my great grandma (pictured below).

First off, I’m obsessed with traveling, trying new foods, and meeting new people.

I’m a quintessential Midwesterner through and through. I say things like, “y’all”, “ope”, and will probably say hello to any random person who walks by me. I can be delightfully awkward, frequently dance without music (I mean, who really needs music anyway), and I have a face of a thousand expressions.

A question I’m always asked is, “Where all have you been?” It’s no secret that I love traveling all over (25 countries and counting!). I find joy in not only going, but meeting people from different places, and telling their stories. This is why I’ve made it a point to travel at least once a year and go to multiple countries when I get the opportunity to travel. So destination weddings are definitely at the top of my list of priorities (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

My global experiences are very much part of the service I provide to my clients. I work with clients from many different cultures and walks of life and having these experiences allows me to provide an enriching experience charcterized by appreciation, sensitivity, and understanding for the clients I serve.

MY commitment

 Hundreds of Love Stories Captured, HUNDREDS MORE TO COME.

With over fifteen years of experience in the wedding industry, I’ve had the honor of documenting hundreds upon hundreds of love stories.

My commitment to my couples is to pour my heart and soul into the art I create: each and every image. I focus on building a genuine

connection with each of my couples by creating deep connections and encouraging them to be their most genuine, authentic selves in front of the camera. My aim is for my couples to remember our time together fondly, and when they look back at their photos, to be transported back to that moment.
