Chris D.

"Not only did the photographs that we’ve received so far exceed our expectations, but Kortni went above and beyond on the day of. Her editing style is so unique and we have had countless friends and family members tell us that the photos are magazine worthy. We truly could not be happier."

client love

Melissa p.

"The photos Kortni captured were beautiful, authentic, entirely natural, and somehow truly captured our love and that magical moment in time. She is an expert at calm, specific direction and knows exactly what to say to guide us in the moment—she made me want to hire her for photo shoots whenever humanly possible because it was just so much FUN!"

Kelly S.

"If you're even considering having her shoot your wedding DO IT!!!!! She captures the most magical and perfect photos (even for a couple that absolutely hates having their photo taken)! She is so friendly and calming, and she will still capture every important moment. Every time something was happening we would turn around and she was there capturing it."

Chelsea S.

"When we got our full album back I was blown away. I expected to get a decent amount of photos that were amazing, but they were all amazing! I could pick any picture out of our album and it would be worthy of being framed. The photos also capture our true selves and don't look posed which is exactly what we wanted."

Rebecca L.

"If you could be so lucky that she still has your date available- book her now. In addition to her artistic style and eye, she brings a calm/cool demeanor to what is such a stressful day. I think it is just as important for your wedding photographer to not only be skilled, but also a genuinely good person- Kortni is absolutely both."

Abigale S.

"Kortni was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have asked for. She captured everything perfectly, these pictures are an absolute dream and they are something we will cherish forever! I look back at them often and I am still so in love with every single one. You can tell that she puts her heart into every single picture, it’s incredible."

Victoria C.

"Kortni was so kind, relaxed and easy to work with! The whole process was very organized. She guided us through our engagement and wedding photos perfectly and we felt so comfortable with her. The photos came out amazing and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!"

Anywhere + everywhere! I’ll be wherever you and your love are, ready to capture every moment.

I’m based in the Adirondacks, New York and central Florida. I offer complimentary 200 miles (roundtrip) of travel, beyond that I charge $0.50 per mile for travel within the North East and Florida. All additional travel costs such as over-night lodging are covered by my clients. Please inquire for more details + options!

Outside of the North East and Florida, my flat rate is $1,000 for travel within the United States, and $2,000 for international destinations.

Yes, of course! The only photos I do not deliver are ones where you are blinking, any that are out of focus, or any photos that are unflattering. I shoot approximately 50 - 75 images per hour, but the actual amount of photos I take will depend on the overall nature of the day.

I do not limit how many photos you receive. If it’s a good photo with a good moment, I will deliver it!

I’ll send you a good amount of high quality sneak peeks within one week of your wedding, elopement, or session! After that, you should expect up to 6 months for your wedding images, up to 4 months for your elopement images and 1 - 2 months for any other sessions to be delivered via a beautiful online gallery where you can download all the high-quality images.

The short answer to this questions is that my creative process takes a lot of time and patience. I am passionate about having consistency in 100% of my work, and every photo I deliver will have the whole of my creative process in it. What I've found to work best for me includes hand editing each image without the use of batch editing or AI techniques to ensure each and every photo is consistently amazing.

While some photos will be more meaningful than others, and certain moments, angles, or subjects will be "all-star" images, my goal is to have each and every photo in your final gallery to be of an equally high standard and worthy of cherishing for the rest of your lives. From the smallest details to the most shining moments, I will put my all into editing each and every image from your day. Ultimately, from backing up files, to culling, to editing, to exporting/uploading, the start-to-finish process typically takes a minimum of 80+ hours per wedding gallery. While juggling the seasonal nature of weddings, the editing can be very time consuming, but compromising the quality of your gallery for the sake of shorter deliver times is simply not an option for me.

As I have grown in my craft over the years, this is admittedly a considerably longer process for me from even just a few years ago and I recognize that this may be a longer timeframe than that of the average wedding photographer. This is, however, what it takes for me to produce the unique quality of work that I believe my clients hire me specifically for!

Yes and no. You have all the rights to share the photos online and with your friends or family as well as print as many as you’d like for personal use. The photos are totally yours to do what you like with!

However, I do retain ownership of the copyright to all the images and monetizing your photos in any way will be prohibited in our contract.

I follow industry standard protocols to backup my work and keep all of your precious memories safe. I always shoot on two memory cards at the same time to ensure I have an immediate backup. When I get home from a session or event, I backup all of the images to 3 separate high-quality locations to ensure safe-keeping up until delivery time.

I do not change my shooting or editing style based on people’s preferences. My clients hire me because they love my work and art as a whole. I stay true to my brand, what you see is what you are 100% going to get!

Time of year, location, and lighting situations will certainly affect the final images making them sometimes warmer, brighter, darker, or more colorful. For the most part, however, my images will always share a similar overall look and feel.

For any events over 5 hours, while I do not require you to put me on your seating chart, I do require that you provide at least one hot meal for me. This is important so that I can stay alert and energized!

Sorry, but I don’t. It is my hope that you will be impressed and ready to book the moment you land on my website, read about who I am, and connect with my work!

However, I am always available to chat on the phone before you book. I’m always happy to get to know you and answer any questions you might have!

I got you! I’ll email you a comprehensive “What to Wear” guide a few weeks before our session, and I’m always there if you have any specific questions along the way.

Yes, I include a complimentary engagement shoot in each of my traditional wedding packages! This gives us a chance to meet before the big day and helps you see how I work. I have found that this makes the wedding day so much more comfortable and easy!

Some of the absolute best in the industry! All of my gear is extremely high quality and undergoes routine maintenance.

1. Canon EOS-R5 Camera (main camera body)
2. Canon EOS-R6 Camera (backup camera body)
3. Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens
4. Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 Lens
5. Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 Lens

That's the basics, but I also have dozens of camera batteries (charged and ready to go), 2 off-camera flashes, and tons of top of the line memory cards.
