Hey friend! If you’ve made it this far, I am thrilled that you want to get to know more about me! My name is Courtney and I am a 26 year old wedding and engagement photographer based in Connecticut. When I’m not taking pictures or editing, you can find me out walking my two dogs Jason and Harper, baking sourdough recipes, or fishing with the hubby.
I once read a quote that said, “Photos are a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.” While I’ve always had a love for photography, what fuels my passion is capturing a feeling that can bring you back in time. Your wedding day is going to be full of beautiful moments, big and small, that deserve to be professionally captured and cherished for a lifetime.
My goal is to not only create authentic and timeless photos that reflect you and your love story but to also help guide you through the wedding planning process so you can have a smooth and unforgettable wedding day.

Meet The Photographer Behind The Lens
how it started
For as long as I can remember, photography has always been a hobby of mine. I remember my parents gifting me my first point and shoot camera when I was about 11 years old for Christmas. What does an 11 year old do with a camera you ask? She takes MANY pictures of her dog and some pretty flowers. 😂
My love of photography only grew stronger when I started taking a photography class in high school, where I got to experiment with building my own camera, developing pictures in a dark room, and practice with both film and digital photography.
Growing up I also shared this love of photography with my mom and we would often go out on adventures together for my class assignments or just for the fun of it, always finding new scenic places to go to.
Fast forward to 2022, I finally made the decision to turn this passion into a business to help others capture their core memories and provide galleries people are excited about.
My better half
I've been with Patrick for a little over 7 years. Having met in college, we are a Tinder success story! Our colleges were located about 15 minutes from each other, only separated by a small scenic highway in Upstate NY. We officially tied the knot on October 15th, 2022 at a beautiful venue actually located between our two schools.
Having bought a house in 2022, we settled down in Connecticut with our rescue pittie, Jason, and eventually adopted Harper along the way! Patrick has always been such a huge supporter for my photography dream and encourages me to be my best self.
