Courtney Mezger Photography

Q: How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Typically, couples book me about 12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Q: Do you also offer video services?

YES! Coming Soon (2025) See our options for video under "Packages"

Q: How long will it take to see our pictures?

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view some of your photos online about 2 weeks after your wedding. The fully edited gallery will take anywhere between 4-8 weeks for photo. For Video, your trailer will be available within 4 weeks of your wedding and fully edited film will be available between 8-10 weeks of your wedding day.

Q: Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Always. If you hire me for your wedding photography needs - I always shoot with a second shooter. The only exception would be a small intimate elopement. However, if your interested in eloping or hiring me for video - a second photographer/videographer can always be added on.

Q: Will you edit all our pictures?

Definitely. All final images will be edited by myself!

Q: What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding (as stated in the contract), my second photographer will replace myself and an additional photographer will be hired to fill the assisting photographer's role.

About Courtney Mezger Photography

Courtney Mezger Photography

Lead Photographer

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I serve the beautiful region of Upstate New York, capturing love stories and life's most precious moments. I believe in a personalized approach, working closely with brides before their big day to establish a detailed timeline and shot list, ensuring every special moment is captured. My commitment extends beyond the wedding day; working with couples to create stunning printed heirlooms that they can cherish forever. Often, I have the joy of continuing to document their journey as they transition into parenthood.

With over a decade of experience, I capture authentic moments and create timeless images. Familiar with Upstate New York, I know the best locations for stunning photos. My passion for storytelling and building lasting relationships ensures a unique and trusted photography experience!

We are absolutely blown away by the photos we received from our wedding by Courtney. She was there to capture our elopment, and then again on a year later for our wedding ceremony and we cannot wait to keep booking photos with her throughout our life milestones. The quality of the photos are phenomenal, she got them delivered to use much earlier than expected, and she kept in touch from start to end. Having Courtney there on our day was like having a close friend, we loved her sense of humor and all of her ideas and couldn't recommend her more!

Guys!!! That is the sweetest thing I've ever read. It was an honor to be there and showcase how beautiful that day truly was. I can't thank you enough for trusting me through the process. <3

Stop looking! You have found an amazing photographer! Courtney was truly the best at working with myself, my husband, wedding party and guests as a whole. I was able to give her a vision of what I wanted and she successfully delivered the best results! Courtney is organized and relatable, she was able to coordinate and direct everyone despite the wedding chaos to get the needed shots within our time frame. She gets photos back extremely fast! Courtney scoped out our venue ahead of time and found places that worked with our desired style as it was an indoor, night time, winter wedding (the most difficult scenario)! Her website and portfolios are simple to access, she coordinated with our wedding coordinator, dj and guests to ensure everything ran smoothly!!

This means the world to me! Your wedding was absolutely stunning, and I feel so lucky to have been there to document it. Thank you for trusting me with your vision and giving me the opportunity to color outside the lines. WORTH IT! <3
Best photographer!!

Almost a year has passed since our wedding and I’m still extremely grateful that we had Courtney as our photographer. Our photos are the best that we could ever wish for, we regularly look at them. She knew exactly how to pose us and make us comfortable in front of the camera (as 2 very awkward people lol). We used courtney for our engagement photos, and then went on to use her for family portraits as well. Have been extremely happy every single time! The editing style is always so flattering and exactly what we’re looking for. Would 100% recommend using Courtney for any and all special moments that you want to keep forever!!

Oh my goodness, this just made my day! ❤️ I can’t believe it’s almost been a year—what an honor it was to capture such a beautiful chapter of your lives! Seeing how much you still cherish your photos means everything to me. And for the record, you two were not awkward at all! 😉 Thank you for trusting me with your memories time and time again. It truly means the world!

Courtney is an amazing photographer. She is an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. I love the way she captured our wedding day- the photos are just perfect. Bonus points for including our dog in our engagement and wedding shoots, along with his own private session!
Response from vendor•Jan 31, 2025
Ahh, this is the sweetest! 🥰 It was such a joy capturing your wedding day—and of course, your pup’s big moments, too! 🐶❤️ I love it when couples include their fur babies, and he was an absolute star! Thank you for your kind words and for trusting me to document such a special time in your lives. Wishing you all (including Syd!) a lifetime of love and happiness!
