"I would hire her again and again. She was outgoing, relaxed, and handled everything professionally and gracefully! I had so many questions and concerns about wedding ceremonies and details and she...made me feel relaxed and comfortable with the whole day. Thank you for everything!"

"I’m SO excited to tell everyone about our experience with Courtney!!! She ceased to amaze me when she captured so many and then some. She made us feel incredibly comfortable and I felt as if I was working with her for years. She has a natural way of making it all flow to grab the best shots. I've received so many compliments on the photos and have been asked for her referral. WE look forward to working with her again!"
