“I seriously don't even know where to begin. Picking a photographer was one of the most important aspects for my spouse and I, and we met with at least a dozen different people to find the perfect fit. Picking Courtney was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process.
Courtney brings a professional and calm atmosphere to your wedding day. Couples: please remember that you will be spending almost your entire day with the photographer! Courtney's vibe was amazing. I did not feel rushed, I didn't feel anxious. She helped me keep on the timeline we set, but also left a ton of room for us working on our own schedule as the day/timeline naturally shifted. I was running late for makeup, first looks, etc. and she just let it happen as it happened, which I really appreciated. I was able to enjoy what was happening rather than worrying about a timeline that really didn't matter much. But, I also got the impression that if the timeline did really matter, she would make sure it happened. She really did an amazing job of matching our energy and both my spouse and I said we would be friends with her outside of the wedding! She is truly so, so, so amazing professionally and personally.
Now, the photos! We both were crying within minutes of looking at them, with huge smiles on our faces. She really perfectly captured the day, in the moments getting ready, the ceremony itself, and the moments immediately after. The posed formal portraits were as important to us as the actual events, and she nailed it all. We are obsessed with our gallery and have an impossible task of deciding which photos to print!
She stuck to her delivery timeline and we got the sneak peaks on the first day of our honeymoon, truly perfect timing. If you have any doubts about hiring Courtney, don't. We met with a lot of people who did not have experience with couples who looked like us. With Courtney, we did not feel like guinea pigs or like she wanted to work with us just to expand her portfolio to have a queer, plus sized wedding in an art museum (we definitely got this vibe from other photographers). She is truly a gem that Ohio is lucky to have.”
