Wedding Photography Rooted in Story, Sentiment, and Legacy
Cleveland & Ohio Wedding Photographer
I approach each wedding with calm confidence and a relaxed presence — capturing your story through honest connection and emotive imagery. My style lives where intuitive storytelling meets heartfelt portraits your future grandkids will thank you for.
I believe in the power of great stories, an aesthetic that feels as timeless as the moments themselves, and that there’s no such thing as too much coffee.
As a Cleveland, Ohio wedding photographer with a love for film-inspired imagery, I’m known for blending timeless elegance with a modern, romantic edge.
“She made our wedding day unforgettable.”

“You captured who we truly are.”
— Britt and Mere, Past couple
The Style
Your photos should look and feel like you — elevated, emotional, and effortlessly beautiful.
My style is grounded in an editorial eye, with a film-inspired softness that brings both nostalgia and intention to every frame. It’s not about chasing trends or curating perfection — it’s about creating images that feel alive with movement, warmth, and meaning.
The Story
Some stories are told in words. Others live in quiet glances, soft smiles, and the way two hands find each other. My great-grandparents’ 50-year love story — and the portrait they had taken to honor it — lives at the heart of everything I do. Their legacy reminds me that the most beautiful images are the ones that feel, not just show. The kind that grow more meaningful with time.
The Method
I believe the best images happen when you feel fully present. That’s why my approach is equal parts calm guidance and quiet observation.
I’ll step in when you need support, and step back when the moment speaks for itself — all while thoughtfully documenting every meaningful interaction and intentionally chosen detail that tells the story of your day.
The heart behind the lens
I'M COURTNEY. I'M AN ENNEAGRAM 2 TO MY CORE, FOODIE, WIFE, MOM and LOVER OF NEW EXPERIENCES.
Photography has been part of my life for over a decade, but my passion for storytelling started long before I ever picked up a camera. I’m the kind of person who tears up at old love letters and hoards family photos like treasure.
As an Ohio wedding photographer, I believe in capturing the kinds of moments that grow more meaningful with time — images that feel like memories already lived.

How I Do It
Let’s Preserve What Matters Most
I accept a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives the care, intention, and artistry their story deserves. Each proposal is thoughtfully tailored — a reflection of your vision, your celebration, and the feeling you want to hold onto.
If you value imagery rooted in sentiment and legacy, I’d be honored hear more.
