CoNNECTICUT-BASED NEW ENGLAND wedding and portrait photography for lovers
You deserve photos that feel like you, natural, emotional, and full of life. My approach is guided and documentary-inspired, which means you’ll never feel stiff or overly posed. Instead, you’ll be free to stay present, enjoy your day, and trust that every meaningful moment is being thoughtfully documented.
The result? Authentic, timeless images that let you step back into your wedding day every time you look at them.
DOCUMENTING YOUR BEST CANDID MOMENTS & CORE MEMORIES
For couples who want to be fully present on their wedding day, and have photos that bring them right back to it.
Photography, for me, is about more than taking pictures, it’s about preserving the moments that matter most. As a Connecticut-based New England wedding photographer, I focus on capturing how your wedding day feels, not just how it looks. I work closely with each couple to create a calm, intentional experience, helping you feel at ease in front of the camera so your photos feel natural, honest, and timeless.
I'm so glad you're here!
Hey friend,
I'M COURTNEY!
Your engagement session is more than just a photoshoot, it’s an investment in memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. These images will be shared with family and friends, used for save-the-dates, and displayed in your home. With that in mind, putting thought and effort into your session will ensure you create an elevated engagement session that feels stylish, intentional, and true to you.

"We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. Courtney did an amazing job and delivered sneak peeks so quickly. Her business process is seamless, from first contact to contract signing. Courtney was super helpful with recommendations throughout the wedding planning process and truly cares about her clients. She truly made us feel so at ease throughout our day. Courtney doesn’t just take photos, she creates art! You won’t regret booking Courtney for any photoshoot, and you especially won’t regret it for wedding photography."

"I knew from the beginning of our planning process that having the right photographer was the most important part of our wedding, and Courtney hit it out of the park to say the least. From the initial inquiry through post-wedding communication and photo delivery, she hit her mark every single time and was always ready and available for whatever we needed. She was game for everything, including taking our engagement photos with my horse, which was so special. The day of the wedding, she and her team were so incredible and thorough and aside from the art she produced, and you can tell that she loves what she does. Courtney truly made us and our guests so comfortable in front of the camera from the beginning to the end. She was worth every penny."

"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."
