    We love Courtney!

    Courtney and Joey were absolutely amazing to work with! Super responsive from start to finish and just the kindest people. Our photos are beyond wonderful and we cannot thank them enough. We will absolutely be returning as customers for future family photos for all of life's milestones. Thank you!

    So so happy with our photos!!

    We absolutely loved having Courtney and Joey as our wedding photographers! They made us feel so comfortable from the start, like we were old friends. Their genuine joy doing what they do was infectious! There was a huge storm the day of our wedding, and even in the cold rain they kept us smiling and captured beautiful photos. We wanted a photographer who captured natural moments and that was exactly what we got, and more. The photos are gorgeous! We loved looking through them and seeing how they captured some of the small things that we missed. We could not be happier with our photos or our experience. Thank you Courtney for making our wedding day last forever!

    The absolute BEST!!

    Courtney and Joey are AMAZING and I can not recommend them enough! My husband is not a huge fan of being photographed so I knew picking our photographer would be a very sensitive and daunting task. The minute we sat down and met with Courtney, we both knew she was the perfect photographer for us. She was so kind and sensitive to our own awkwardness being in front of a camera and truly made taking engagement photos and most importantly, taking our wedding photos fun and stress free! It felt like Courtney and Joey were just part of the family on our wedding day and all of our family, friends and siblings had a blast spending the day with them! Also, did I mention that their photos are STUNNING? Courtney was also so flexible and kind when the pandemic hit and we had to go through the process of canceling and rescheduling our wedding. If Courtney has your date open, BOOK HER, IMMEDIATELY.

    Could not be happier with our experience!

    We loved working with Courtney and her husband, Joey! All of our wedding plans changed last minute due to the pandemic, but Courtney was right there by our side - extremely flexible, accommodated our last minute change in plans and really helped to capture some wonderful memories from our wedding day. Plus, they are just really down-to-earth and fun! I highly recommend Courtney for your special day!

    Couldn't be happier

    I cannot say enough good things about Courtney. From her skills as an amazing photographer to the absolutely sweet, down to earth and genuine person she is. She captured our day completely and perfectly. Our photos are our most prized keepsake from our day, and I can honestly say I love each and every one of them. She was a necessary calming presence on the day of and has been such a joy to work with throughout the whole planning process. I want to use her for all our future big life events that obviously need documentation ;-)

    Truly Amazing!

    WE LOVE COURTNEY! My husband and I are so blessed to have had Courtney as our wedding photographer. First, she is a kind, thoughtful, and wonderful person. Secondly, she is talented, experienced, and professional. She was always quick to respond to emails and very organized. My husband and I had Courtney take our engagement photos and we had the best time! Courtney was able to make my husband and I feel very comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We love her style of fun, bright, and vibrant photos. On our wedding day, Courtney captured every single moment of our day perfectly. Again, she made my husband and I feel relaxed in front of the camera and have fun on our big day. Our wedding photos turned out better then we could have ever imagined! I'm still obsessed with every single photo she took. Our wedding photos are gorgeous and she captured the love and fun my husband had on our wedding day. My husband and I will definitely look to Courtney to photograph big life events in the future.

    Courtney is Amazing!!!

    My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Courtney for our wedding photos and engagement session. After seeing the brightness and joy in her photos on Instagram, I knew her look was a great match for us.
    Right off the bat, she was so responsive and thoughtful. She is such a genuinely sweet person and made us feel comfortable during the photos, even though we usually shy away from cameras. She went out of her way on our wedding day, getting all the photos we requested and much more. Her bright and vibrant photos captured our love and the setting beautifully. Her second photographer, Cecilia, also did a great job and was equally as sweet!
    Courtney is so talented, if you are considering working with her, I assure you that you will be so happy you did. I would recommend her to everyone I know!

    If there was a photographer fairy, Courtney Stockton would be it. Not only is she cute as a button (just like a fairy) but she will turn your dreams into reality on your wedding day. She floats through the venue capturing each detail. She makes you feel beautiful and hides all those not-so-attractive angles. I still obsess over every photo. Choosing favorites was an unrealistic expectation and my home doesn't have enough wall space to keep up with her magic. Please don't look any further. Let her sprinkle her fairy dust and make your wishes come true.

    We hired Courtney as our wedding photographer and are so pleased we did! She was great to work with—flexible, friendly, organized, reliable—AND she’s very talented. Courtney has an amazing ability to capture light and warmth in all her photos. It was very important to me that my photos captured the feeling of my wedding day, and Courtney nailed it. She caught every candid moment of joy and love. Best of all, Courtney delivered our photos so quickly—about 6 weeks after our wedding, which is unheard of in the wedding industry! And, she posted an adorable blog post with a selection of our photos just a few days after our wedding.

    Courtney was a joy to work with. She’s organized, professional, responsive and flexible. She took time to understand in detail we wanted captured on the wedding day so that she could photograph everything we wanted. She arrived early and was very efficient. She understood that it was important to us that we minimize the amount of time we spent away from our wedding taking photos. We also hired a second photographer to capture my husband getting ready and to take photos of the cocktail hour while we took our portraits. We’re so glad we got the second photographer because every moment of our special day was captured.

    I am so glad I found Courtney. She is so talented and her photographs are amazingly beautiful. She has as way of capturing light in her photographs and encompassing emotion and feeling in her art. The day of my wedding, she went above and beyond to capture all the tiny details and moments. Her and her assistant were so fun to be around and everyone said how much they enjoyed their company. Leading up the wedding, Courtney was prompt to respond and put me at ease. I was able to relax, knowing we would be in great hands on the most important day of our life. In the next chapters of our life, I will definitely look to Courtney to photograph all our big moments.

    Working with Courtney (and her husband, who was our second photographer) was one of the easiest parts of our wedding. From the very beginning, Courtney was responsive, thorough, and helpful. We included an engagement session in our package, and Courtney arrived early to scope out the location. My husband and I are both pretty reserved, but Courtney's friendly, bubbly personality helped us ease in to some public smooches and other more romantic poses, and turned the session into a really fun date :) She captured amazing shots where we both look completely comfortable. The photos from that session were a perfect mix of sweet, natural poses and candid shots, and all of them highlighted the beautiful location (the Berkeley Rose Garden at sunset).

    The day of our wedding, Courtney and her husband arrived early and ready for some fun photos. Courtney was so calm and flexible in our room of girls, but always seemed to be at just the right place for the priceless getting ready/pre-wedding family and friends moments. During the wedding, Courtney and Joey were flexible with our timeline but still managed to get all of the shots we requested, and I'm sure a million more. Joey also went out of his way to find an amazing rooftop spot for sunset photos. I've seen a preview of our wedding photos, and I'm blow away with how Courtney get her perfect, romantic shots with beautiful lighting that also feature unique parts of our venue. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos. Working with Courtney was all around amazing, and I can't recommend her enough!

    I cannot say enough good things about Courtney! My husband and I reached out to Courtney after a fiasco with our original photographer and from our very first meeting, I knew we were in great hands. Courtney is super sweet, calm, patient and so fun! Her photography style was exactly was I was looking for with our wedding photos - she uses natural light to her advantage and makes photos look and feel natural (not staged). I always feel super awkward about doing poses, but that never happened with Courtney. She had the best ideas for things my husband and I (and bridal party) could do that make our photos look fantastic! Courtney was very prompt in her responses to me, whether by phone or email, which was amazing. On our wedding day, Courtney was early and was really helpful in making sure we had everyone we needed for photos and we kept to our tight timeline. She was also super patient when it came to grabbing my husband and I away from conversations for photos. Having Courtney as your wedding photographer might be the best decision you make. I highly recommend her!

    The photos were amazing, and so was working with Courtney. She's super easy to work with and manages to keep you relaxed and looking your best on a hectic day.
    We're so happy we made the decision to have Courtney photograph our wedding. Flexibility, great price, fantastic service, and just a lovely person to work with. We could not recommend a photographer any more than we do for Courtney!

    I don't even know where to start in reviewing Courtney. She has been absolutely amazing. Throughout the whole process she has been informative and patient. Over the course of my engagement I really felt like I became friends with Courtney. Her genuine and kind nature really makes you feel listened to and taken care of. This made her photographing us much easier. Neither my husband or I like having our pictures taken but Courtney was able to help us relax and really forget that that's what we were doing. After our engagement set we knew the wedding would be a piece of cake! It also doesn't hurt that her photos are AMAZING! She has a brilliant eye and a style to her photography we didn't see anywhere else. My husband is also a photographer and so he was very picky and meticulous in the process and Courtney was a winner from start to finish!

    Courtney shot our wedding this June (2015) in Santa Rosa and it was incredible! She also did our engagement shoot, as it was part of a package we chose. Courtney is so sweet, thoughtful, and flexible. She helped us chose a location for our engagement shoot after asking me some questions about what we were looking for. We didn't necessarily like getting our photos taken (it can feel kind of weird!) but she was just so nice and told us exactly what to do and let us be ourselves. We communicated mainly through email and she always responded quickly and thoroughly to my (MANY) questions, concerns, and ideas. While Courtney and her husband (our second photographer) shot our wedding, she did a great job following some guidelines during the ceremony that our officiant asked of (i.e. stay in the back and do not move around too much so as not to distract the guests from what is going on!) and blended into the background- that's exactly what we wanted from a photographer! Someone who fit in and didn't stand out or put their camera in people's faces. They were both awesome! AND THE PHOTOS!! Oh my goodness... I could not have imagined more gorgeous photos! Courtney plays with light in a way that just made us all glow =) She also captured some really special moments that we never got to see (people getting ready for the big day, funny dance moves from guests, and intimate laughs and hugs). Plus I must have gotten close to 1,000 photos (not sure if this is her normal count or not) to choose from through an online gallery which I could share with my friends and family, on top of a USB with all our photos on it (also beautifully packaged and sent to us through the mail). It was just an incredible experience working with Courtney and I would highly recommend her to any friend or loved one who is looking for an awesome photographer!

    I felt very lucky to found Courtney take on the important role being the photographer for my wedding day. She was easy to work with & professional. She understands how to get the best shots for the bride. She is also attentive, and flexible to accommodate this important day of mine, & my husband family. Courtney, everyone love the pictures. You did a great job to capture our day & left us great memory for years to come. For all the bride to be, if you are looking for someone for your special day, Courtney is the one. After seeing my pictures, and the whole experience working with her, she worth every dollars. I had interviewed my expensive photographers, and cheaper ones too. I ended up picking her because our meeting was great, she didn't sound over excited (can't stand the one get more excited then you, and how much they love wedding...), she asked the right questions, and great portfolio. She checked in with me from time to time of things we needed to get ready for the day. She showed that day early & bright, did what she was there to do.
