What Makes Me Different

You’re taking the time to plan all the details of your day, it’s only fair they get photographed! No detail is too small to capture, so I take a lot of time to ensure I know what’s important to you. That way I’m capturing your day just how you envision it! I’ll send you questionnaires throughout planning so I have ALL the details and I am able to seamlessly photograph your day.

This is the best part of our time together for me! Becoming friends with you and cheering you on as you begin your marriage together. Because friend let me tell you, marriage ROCKS. I’m not here to be just another vendor. From your engagement session to your wedding day to all the planning in-between, I love building genuine relationships with all of my Courtney Carney couples!
