By taking a documentary style approach, my nature-inspired photography captures the expanses of love stories that reach peaks and valleys my hiking boots and I never could. With timeless captures and true-to-life colors inspired by nature, your story, with these captures, will never go out of style.
So, your love is limitless and you choose to live life similarly. Meanwhile I set out to accomplish the seemingly impossible: capture your boundless love within the confines of my camera lens (or two or three, because let’s be real — this camera bag is packed).
Capturing Love Without Limits
Alaska & Utah
Elopement Packages
My dad asked me this, and now I’m asking you. Your intimate wedding or elopement — these moments together that will fly by — should be everything you dreamed of and more. Do what you want to, how you want it. At the local ski resort where you had your first date. 3,000 miles away, but with your dog in tow. 50 guests or 10.
Trust me — do it your way and you won’t just hang onto these moments, they’ll cling onto you like the smell of a campfire. You know, that warm, nostalgic feeling that makes downtime look up.
“Why don’t you just do what you want to?”
My philosophy as an Alaska &
Utah wedding photographer
Courtney could not be more worthy of a 5-star review. She was incredibly professional, kind, and relaxed in every session we had with her, from our engagement pictures to the day of our wedding. She was so easy to work with and so responsible in every aspect of our experience.... We are so pleased with the way all of our pictures turned out, and we are so happy we chose Courtney to capture our most special memories. She truly does create the most beautiful pictures and you will be so happy with your decision to work with her.”
I recommend Courtney to every person I know who is getting married :)

She offered so much help, and I felt like I could turn to her with whatever I needed... We had some unpredictable weather during one of our shoots and she was a champ throughout it and the photos turned out unbelievably great. I was so impressed with … how much she clearly cared about her work. She is so creative, and her photos never disappoint. I absolutely love all of her work, and I know if we need any other photos taken for us, Courtney will be the one we turn to first! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.”
“Courtney is so awesome… When we first were interested in working with Courtney, she took the time to sit down with us … We really felt seen and heard... She went above and beyond.

She gave us great prompts and poses and was just so easy to work with. Our photos turned out beautiful and they are exactly what we wanted! If I had to do everything over again I would book with Courtney every time.”
We loved working with Courtney! She was so much fun and made us feel so comfortable being photographed.

Words that make me feel cozier than a campfire
When we work together, your vision and experience take priority. I’ve carefully fostered a welcoming environment to ensure you feel seen and heard with no questions left unanswered (while leaving landscapes virtually untouched).
With timelines customized to your vision, there is no mountain too high, or river too low (okay, maybe not Mt. Everest). No need to feel rushed by schedules full of for-show cake cuttings and fussy cocktail hours.
Look forward to an elopement where etiquette and formalities are replaced with personalized experiences and fearless excursions. No jitters, just butterflies from being in your element — enjoying nature outside with the love of your life. It’ll show in the photos too.

Let's Take This
One Step at a Time

so it goes...
After you’ve decided on a package, I’ll send a proposal your way. Next, we’ll move forward with the contract, payment, and a 30% retainer fee. You’ll get an engagement session guide if we booked one.
A proposal! (The business-y kind; you’ve already done the get-down-on-one-knee part)
four
Yes! I’ll keep in touch with you throughout the whole process. You can come to me with any questions or concerns and I’ll be there for you every step of the way. After all, it's nice to have a friend.
Can we always be this close?
five
After your wedding, you’ll get a preview of your pictures from me within 72 hours! Then I’ll get to work editing your pictures to perfection. You can expect about a 6-week turnaround time.
Just another picture to burn… into your memory forever and ever!

Don’t you worry — it’s my goal to make each session as easygoing and comfortable as possible. With natural prompts, plenty of guidance, and lots of laughs, it’ll feel like just another date night together (but more emotional, memorable and documented for a lifetime).
I have no idea what to do in front of the camera! Can you help me?
Yes! I often travel around California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Colorado, and Georgia. But, I’m ready to hop in the car, on a plane, or train to wherever you need me.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
Absolutely. I know that each and every wedding is unique, so I make sure to be flexible and easy to work with to keep this process as smooth as possible for you. Whether it’s a small adjustment, or a completely custom package, we can make it happen.
What we need doesn’t quite fit into your listed packages, can we create a custom one?
I’m based in Park City, Utah, but I live in Alaska from around mid May to mid September. If there is snow and mountains around, I won’t be far.
You say Utah and Alaska, but where are you based?
“Can I Ask You A Question…?”
I'm sure you're wondering:
About working with a wedding photographer in Utah or Alaska
Each package is guaranteed to deliver at least 55 photos per hour of coverage. (But, just between you and me, it’s usually closer to 75-90 per hour)
After all is said and done, how many pictures will we get?
I’m so excited to share it with you (that’s why you’ll get a little sneak peek)! For weddings and elopements you can expect to get your full gallery within 4 to 6 weeks. With shorter sessions, like engagement shoots and portraits, your gallery will be ready in about 2 weeks!
