Photographing the little moments, the memories & the pure chaos of family life

Your real life.

Exactly as it is now before all those little fingers and toes aren't so small anymore.

What an amazing photographer and fun person to choose as part of your special day!

Courtney was our photographer for our wedding and immediately became a natural part of the day, fitting right in with family so that it didn't even feel like we had a photographer there. She was so much fun, easy to hang out with and not a single photo felt posed or fake.

We feel very lucky that she was available for our amazing day.

Thanks for everything Courtney!

Omg courtney!!! You are absolutely amazing!!! Aaaargh We both cried like a baby during the slideshow! And you overlayed the song the boys sang- that is just the most amazing attention to detail and absolutely made this whole experience for us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our day so beautifully- and also for being such an amazing part of our day. It felt like we had another life long friend there. The amount of effort you put in- wrangling the family, getting James wine during the speeches- just so above and beyond and we are so grateful we know you.

Seriously I don’t know if you know how fabulous and special you are but you really made our day. Thank you so so much.

The photos are just so beautiful! I’m not even all the way through them and had to stop and email you back! And the packaging and everything- just shows you care and we appreciate that so much!

So much love to you beautiful lady and we would love love love to keep in touch. You are such a special human and we are so blessed to have met you.

Thank you xxxx

Kate, James and Stan xxxx

Oh my gosh they’re so good!!! Love them!!! You're so talented and make it so much fun! Going to be hard to choose the wall ones!
