I could not recommend Courtney enough for getting your photos taken! We hired Courtney to take our engagement photos, and not only was she very communicative and professional, but she also suggested a beautiful location. The quality of her work is phenomenal - absolutely beautiful and exactly fulfilled our vision. Courtney made us feel very at ease by paying attention to the details, chatting with us, and instructing us through poses. She also answered all the questions I had about makeup and outfits in preparation for the photo shoot. We are thrilled to use these photos on our save-the-dates and to frame them for our home!

About Courtney Collins Photography
Nobody wants to look back at a photograph of themselves looking stiff, shy and uncomfortable. Listen, I get it. Getting your photograph taken can be awkward. I like to tell my clients that the first 5 minutes of a shoot are like an awkward first date, but then it gets better. It's my job to make you feel comfortable and - maybe crack a bad joke or two - so that before long you’ll forget the camera’s there and we’re just having fun. Robert Cappa once said, “if your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.” To me, this doesn’t mean barking commands and staging meticulous poses in the attempt to get a perfect shot; it means creating an environment where you feel comfortable enough to let your guard down and be who you genuinely are. That's the version of you I want to photograph. I strive for authenticity with everything that I do and I’m always rooting for my clients to have the best experience.
Reviews
A wonderful experience! Went above and beyond finding the right lighting and fixing hair. 100% would use Courtney again.
Courtney was fantastic! She did a great job for our wedding. She was excellent at making people feel comfortable and making them look their best.
Courtney was amazing to work with! I hired her to do an engagement shoot at the NCMA. She was so accommodating and made sure to answer all of my questions. She was great with our dog Marlo, considering he isn't the most cooperative dog! Would recommend Courtney 1000x over!!
Courtney was absolutely amazing for our engagement photos. She was a tremendous help setting it all up and the pictures came out fantastic! Thank you so much Courtney
If I could choose all 5 of them for Courtney, I would! Her work is amazing; she was on time, easy to talk to, and so, so funny. She put us at ease during the awkwardness of photos and caught our dynamics perfectly.
Very professional and amazing pictures! Highly recommend
Courtney was a great photographer to work with! She is very friendly and easy going and will make sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the experience. My fiance and I are extremely happy with our photos and Courtney had them processed and sent to us in record time! Thanks again Courtney!!!
She is Awesome!!! We enjoyed her and her work is wonderful, we would recommend anyone who is looking for an expert in photography to reach out to Courtney they will be very happy they did. We will definitely use her again for the special times when a photographer is needed Thank you The Welch Family
Courtney did an amazing job capturing our special day. She paid great attention to the details and made us look stunning. Since we were from out of town she even walked the park in advance to find the best locations for our shoot. She was also able to capture all the sentimental moments shared with family and friends. I loved the candid shots even more than the staged ones but all of them came out amazingly. You won’t find a more personable photographer who’ll put in as much care and love into making your shoot perfect.
