the girl behind the camera
(but my friends call me court)
Something about me: I absolutely love my quiet morning time. Waking up before the sun, drinking a cup of coffee with a book in hand, and cuddling with my goldens before a busy day just fills my cup. Outside of photography, I love exploring new places, taking long walks with my husband and dogs, going bowling with friends, and finding the next best coffee spot!

HELLO THERE!
I am a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer {based in Las Vegas, NV}. dog mom to two sweet golden retrievers, married to my best friend + other half -- absolutely in love with the fact that i get to create every day!
As a young girl, I was always intrigued by my grandparents’ film and polaroid cameras lying around their house. I fell in love with the darkroom in high school and went on to study film and fine art photography in college. Photography has always been my number one passion in life and I have been photographing weddings for over twelve years now. When I met my husband and realized what true love was for myself, it changed the way I see and document wedding days. I finally knew what my couples were experiencing and feeling and I am that much more in tune with what I do for a living because of the love my husband and I share. I couldn't be more grateful for this beautiful career, capturing life's sweetest and most meaningful moments for my sweet clients.
I truly enjoy building real relationships with the couples I meet and photographing their love how it truly is. I want nothing more than to relate to you and bring alive your love!

Here's what makes me different
INQUIRE NOW
For me, this is much more than taking photos. I want to give you the best experience I possibly can because that dictates how you feel about your photos in the years to come. I'm all for meeting you for coffee, drinks, or venue visits to help you plan and nail down what is most important to you for your wedding day! Whether you're extremely shy or you're an extroverted, high energy couple, my sole responsibility is tailoring your wedding experience to you.
For me, trust and experience makes room for comfort and creativity. I hear over and over from past clients that I'm down-to-earth, easy to work with, friendly, welcoming, and that I made the process easy for them. In turn, they were the happiest and relaxed on the day of their wedding, resulting in the most effortless and gorgeous photos to look back on for years and years.
On your wedding day, you will be spending the majority of the day with your photographer, so it's important that you choose a photographer that you trust (and actually like)! Having shot tons of weddings, I've found that being a fly on the wall to capture those unstaged, in-between moments is how I work best.
I know how chaotic wedding planning can be and I'm here to help you in any way I can. I'd rather be your friend than just another wedding vendor!
My main focus is that you are in the moment and enjoying yourselves on your wedding day. That's what truly matters.
