Connecticut wedding and portrait photography for lovers
I believe every love story is a story worth telling. Your wedding is a core memory that is worth being captured visually to be shared, enjoyed, and treasured for years to come.
It is my greatest privilege to become a part of your story and capture every emotion your wedding brings. Whether documenting the first look, the ceremony, or the small details, my goal is to capture authentic, timeless, and romantic photos for you to cherish forever.
Documenting your best CANDID MOMENTS & CORE MEMORIES
Photography, for me, is more than just taking pictures. It’s about showing people how beautiful they are, and freezing those fleeting moments that mean the world—moments you’ll look back on with excitement and emotion for years to come. I believe the best photographs capture how a wedding day *feels*, not just how it looked. That’s why I work closely with each of my couples, ensuring every detail is covered so that the only thing you need to focus on is enjoying your day. My goal? To make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera, so your true, authentic selves shine through every shot.

The sneak peak photos so far have been absolutely unreal and stunning. I feel so beautiful in every single one. Courtney truly did an incredible job and captured the vibe of the venue and entire day. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime to come. I couldn't recommend Courtney enough.

"My husband and I wanted portrait style photos to celebrate our recent elopement and connected with Courtney... we are so happy we did!! She was able to fit us in with very little notice. Courtney went above and beyond in scoping out our location ahead of time to make sure she knew all the best (and least crowded spaces) & planned the lighting down to a T. She made the whole experience so easy and fun! We are so happy with our gallery and the quality of the pictures she captured."

Courtney is amazing, she made the process flawless - from booking the studio space to offering different creative ideas for the session. I did my bridal portraits with her and was able to bring all of my details. We danced to music and had the best time. I loved being able to celebrate my “bride” stage and capture all of my emotions about getting married.
She made me feel so beautiful and really, I’ve never been more obsessed with photos of myself. If you are on the fence about booking a session for any reason, just do it. I know my future child will love + appreciate these photos for years to come.
