i, I’m Courtney — wedding + portrait photographer, homeschooling mama of four, and creative soul rooted in Northern California wine country.
My approach to photography is a little like my life: heartfelt, intentional, and always grounded in beauty that lasts. I capture weddings for couples who love deeply, live purposefully, and care about preserving what matters most — not just the look of the day, but the feeling of it.
Inspired by timeless editorial style and anchored in emotion, my work blends luxury-level imagery with genuine, soul-filled storytelling. My clients value both elegance and authenticity — champagne towers and teary vows, curated details and candid joy.
I believe light has a way of finding us — and showing up with presence, peace, and purpose is how I serve every couple. Whether it’s a quiet vow exchange under ancient oaks or a golden hour celebration in the vines, I’m there to capture the moments that carry legacy.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me outdoors exploring wildflower fields with my kids + our bernedoodle Poppy, or sipping wine with my husband, a Sonoma winemaker, or making wood fired pizzas at home with my family.
If you’re drawn to imagery that feels both elevated and emotional — storytelling that looks like fine art but feels like home — I’d be honored to tell your story.
Let your light shine.
Matthew 5:16
