the experience
I’m honestly SO excited you’re here.
I’ve been photographing weddings and elopements for over 5 years now, and I’ve been part of more than 100 days that all looked different, but felt just as meaningful.
And the biggest thing I’ve learned? The experience matters just as much as the photos.
You deserve to feel comfortable, supported, and actually present on your day, not stressed or unsure of what to do.
That’s what I care about most.

What it actually feels like to have me there on your wedding or elopement day.
Not just showing up with a camera, but helping you feel comfortable, present, and be able to enjoy your day fully.
Hi friends!
What It’s Like Working Together
You don’t need to know what you’re doing, I’ve got you.
Honestly, it’s less like “being photographed” and more like I’m just your third wheel for the day… in the least awkward way possible.
We’re walking around, chasing light, checking off little bucket list moments you didn’t even realize you had—maybe running through the desert, hiking somewhere quiet, stopping because the view is too good not to.
I’ll step in when you need a little direction, but most of the time I’m just there with you while it all unfolds.
It ends up feeling more like a really good day together than anything else.
And those are always the moments you’ll come back to.
How I Got Here
I picked up my first camera years ago and just fell in love with how it made me slow down and notice things.
Like the little moments most people don’t really think about, but somehow those were always the ones I cared about the most.
At the time I didn’t fully get why… I just knew I loved it. Then life got a little fuller and I became a mom. And honestly, that changed everything for me.
Time feels different now. Faster. The little things feel bigger. And I catch myself already missing moments that literally just happened.
And I think that’s why this means so much to me now.
It’s not just about having photos, it’s about having something to come back to later. The way things felt, the people you were with, the version of life you were in at that time.
So when I’m photographing weddings or elopements, that’s what I’m paying attention to.
Not just the big moments, but all the in-between ones too. Now I get to do this while also being a mom and building this life, and it’s honestly the coolest thing.

Weddings, Elopements & Couples
No two days look the same, and your coverage shouldn’t either.
Everything is customizable based on what you’re dreaming up.
Couples:
Think less “photoshoot” and more just hanging out somewhere pretty together.
Walking around, talking, laughing, maybe a little wind in your hair, stopping when the light hits just right. Just you two being yourselves while I’m there capturing it as it happens.
Weddings:
Full day coverage so you don’t have to worry about missing anything.
The getting ready moments, the nerves, the hugs, the chaos, the quiet in-between parts, the dance floor at the end of the night, all of it.
You get to be in it, and I’ve got everything else covered.
Elopements:
A little slower, a little more intentional, and a lot more freedom.
Maybe we’re hiking somewhere quiet, exploring the desert, running around at sunset, or just taking our time because there’s no rush.
It’s your day, your pace, your kind of experience, and I’m there for all of it.
Arizona Wedding Photography Questions
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
Weddings will be 300-1000 images depending if we do a first look and what reception events you do! Elopements will start at 100+. Regular hour Couples sessions or Boudoir you will receive 30+.
What does video include??
You will recieve a highlight view that is about 10-20 minutes long. I can also deliver full ceremony videos and drone footage! Ask me about all the details!
WHAT ARE YOUR TRAVEL FEES?
Travel fees vary depending on location! If I am already in a place you'll be wanting pics and you book me while im there than all travel fees are waved! I love to travel so if my flights are covered i go pretty much ANYWHERE!
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
When you book with me I will write up a contract for you to go over and sign. If something happens and you need to cancel your day we can move you to another date or you will end up loosing your deposit. I recommend all couples send me over dates when moving events so I am open!
WHAT IF THERE'S BAD WEATHER?
Bad weather?! No such thing! Ok well there can be! BUT i am fully equipped for all episodes of bad weather. As long as your ready to go and still wanting to have your event. I will be there!
WHAT IF MY WEDDING DATE CHANGES?
Thats okay just send me over your new dates and lets get you married!!
WILL YOU HELP ME FIND VENDORS?
I do have a preferred vendor list. I have worked with all of them and can highly recommend them if your needing some help!
HOW DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENTS?
I have an invoicing system that once you sign your contract you will then receive an invoice! Super easy to do!
WHAT IS A SECOND SHOOTER?
A second shooter is someone who works beside me at an event to get all angles of your day! I am qualified to do your day on my own but having a second person there gives me more content to send to you! I am only one person so its easier when i have that other hand.

What It Felt Like For Them
Mr. & Mrs W
"Courtney is absolutely amazing! My husband and I live in Phoenix but got married in San Diego. When we reached out to Courtney to let her know it was a destination wedding she was all in! She has taken our engagement, wedding, holiday, and my boudoirs photos. I will absolutely use her for all my life milestones. She is so sweet, and makes you feel comfortable so that she can capture your true self. I would highly recommend her!"
"Above and beyond our wildest expectations."
Mr & Mrs Pacheco
"Courtney captured our day beautifully! She was fun to work with and had a great personality. It was nice to add silliness to our day instead of it being all serious. We all shared lots of laughter and it was the perfect day!"
"Above and beyond our wildest expectations."
Mr. & mrs. Loor
"Courtney was communicative and had backup plans for where to shoot if our planned area wasn't open. She was on time and also kept us all on time! Courtney made the day so much fun and has such a great personality! The best part, you can tell she is passionate about what she does, she gets so excited while shooting! We obviously won't be having another wedding but hope to use her for other photography needs in the future! She gave me the wedding photos of my dreams!!!"
