    Professional, Friendly, Great Eye

    Courtney truly was one of the easiest choices we made to hire for our wedding. She's not only extremely organized and professional but she truly makes you feel soo comfortable during the whole process. She listens to what your vision is and she makes it come to life. I have friends and family telling me I have the best wedding photos they've seen. She truly was the easiest person to work with and really helped make the wedding day go by without a hitch. I would recommend her over and over and will use her again for other shoots in the future. We love courtney!!!!

    The sweetest, most easy-going, and efficient wedding photographer!

    Courtney was absolutely amazing to work with. Not only did she make our day so seamless and easy, but she captured it all so perfectly. Courtney was very efficient, making sure she captured all the little details, as well as all our loved ones. Our family members could not have been more complimentary of her, and her sweet nature. I am so grateful we had Courtney with us. She made us feel so comfortable and it shows through in our beautiful photos. Looking forward to working with Courtney again in the future! She is an absolute delight.

    The perfect wedding photographer!

    I highly recommend Courtney for wedding and engagement photography. Her prices are fair, she's extremely responsive, and she did an excellent job capturing every special moment. We had a greek ceremony and reception, and she took the time to learn what was unique about it and ensure the most important moments were captured. She also is extremely friendly and easy to work with, which calmed my anxieties the day-of and helped make everything run smoothly. I also appreciated that she mailed us a set of prints as well (in addition to providing digital access to all photos), which I was able to frame and gift to family members. Lastly, she was super accomodating when I asked if she could edit some family photos early so we could use them for christmas cards. She is the best!

    Courtney is amazing!

    Courtney was an amazing wedding photographer. She was flexible, organized, and very easy to work with. She really personalized the entire experience. Her photos are fabulous. She captured all the best parts of my wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding photographer. She also did my work headshots and they were great!

    Very thankful for Courtney!

    Courtney was incredible! We had to replan our entire wedding due to COVID canceling our first two attempts, and then we moved out of state so had to start planning from scratch. We are so thankful to have been able to work with Courtney. She perfectly captured our celebration and we are so so happy with the pictures she caught for us. She was so lovely to work with and we would highly recommend!

    Courtney was amazing!

    Courtney was fantastic to work with throughout the whole planning process! She was prompt, communicative, and clearly outlined her services. We had a great engagement session with her and was helpful in getting to know her before the big day. We met before the wedding day to go over the timeline, shot list and any questions. She was thorough and helped answer questions we didn't even know we had! On the days (Sangeet and Wedding) Courtney provided the perfect amount of direction while not interrupting the flow of the day. She had a great balance between helping to guide while not being intrusive. She was fun and energetic and the photos are PHENOMENAL! We received countless compliments on the photos and we love them. Thanks, Courtney!

    Absolutely amazing

    Courtney is not only an incredible human but also an insanely talented individual. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was able to blend in seamlessly so you didn’t even know she was there and at the same time was very assertive for the group portraits. I could not be happier with how my photos turned out. She truly captured the mood and the energy of the whole night. I could not recommend her more!

    Looking for a photographer? Look no further than Courtney Cimo

    Courtney was incredible. Organized, efficient, talented, professional are just some of the things that come to mind when I think about her and her work for my September wedding. Our pictures came out beautiful and we loved having her apart of our vendor team.

    Professional, easygoing, and comforting

    Courtney was wonderful to work with! I’d never done any sort of photo shoot before and Courtney instantly made both my husband and I feel at ease during our engagement photo shoot and for our wedding. The photos turned out beautifully - so light and airy and cheerful. She absolutely captured the magic of our wedding day. We could not recommend Courtney more!

    Photos that will make your kids feel like they were at the wedding

    I would recommend Courtney to absolutely anyone. Courtney is such a talented artist. She captured the photos of our wedding in July of 2021, along with her incredible second shooter, Emily. Courtney was super flexible throughout the planning process, which included a postponement due to COVID-19. We met with her in person about a month prior to the wedding. She was an incredibly calming presence and helped to remind us of our priorities for the day with her thoughtful questions. The wedding photos speak for themselves: Courtney took incredible pictures that truly captured the memories of the day. We will treasure them always and can't thank her enough for her amazing artistry and care.

    Experience with Courtney

    My sister and I both used Courtney as our wedding videographer! I loved that she interviewed us before our big day in order to see what was most important for her to capture. Within 24 hours she gave us a highlight video that made us so excited to see the real thing. We appreciated that our full video captured a variety of different moments throughout our day. Courtney is extremely sweet and personable! We enjoyed working with her during the entire process and felt that her pricing was very reasonable!

    The best photography experience!

    My husband and I made the best decision when we hired Courtney to capture our wedding. During a very stressful season of planning a wedding in a pandemic, Courtney was a source of calm and joy whenever we interacted with her, always wearing a smile and ready to help with anything we needed. She made us feel confident in front of the camera and captured the story of our wedding day beyond our expectations. My husband and I were in tears looking through our photos, and we will never be able to thank Courtney enough for the images she created, not only for us but for our future families to cherish.

    Courtney perfectly capture our engagement and wedding...we couldn't recommend her enough!

    Courtney was extremely easy to work with - equally as creative as she is kind! Our engagement photos made us fall in love with her simple, elegant and natural photography, which led us to book her as our wedding photographer. It was so important to me that our photographer caught the natural, emotional moments, and Courtney did just that. We are so happy with our photos and will cherish them always!

    My Favorite Pictures from My Favorite Day!

    Courtney is truly so talented and artistic. Every photo she took really captured the joy and love that me and my husband, our families, and all of our friends felt on our wedding day. She is so kind and professional. Look no further for the most perfect memories of your special events.

    Courtney Cimo is Amazing!

    Courtney photographed our small wedding in October 2020. She was an absolute dream to work with! She sent a questionnaire to us a few months before our wedding to plan everything out. I was able to figure out my timeline with her, and make a list of every shot I wanted to make sure nothing was missed. The day went so smoothly. Courtney was professional and fun! She provided good guidance to get good photos. She captured all the details perfectly. She also got every shot we requested and more. The photos are so beautiful and I can’t wait to look at them and feel the memories forever! The package she sent us with the USB and prints was also so cute and thoughtful, and included chocolate!! It’s clear that Courtney cares deeply about her company and product. You don’t get this kind of attention from big companies. Courtney is your girl for natural, beautiful photos on your wedding day!

    Our experience working with Courtney was absolutely perfect.

    Courtney's pictures were amazing! My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with how they turned out. We have so much to thank Courtney for—working with our ever-changing plans (due to COVID-19), handling weather challenges like a pro, making everyone feel comfortable, and capturing the special moments that we can now look back on for the rest of our lives!

    5 stars all around!

    Courtney perfectly captured both our engagement and wedding. Courtney’s attention to detail and creativity are evident in all our photos. On the day of the wedding Courtney captured everything, but was conscientious about being “out of the way” and was so tactful throughout the entire ceremony and reception. We loved the photos, and she was so collaborative leading up to the wedding to be sure we got all the photos we wanted and all the locations we were planning on! She also shot some beautiful and truly special photos on film! We have stunning photos to look back on for years to come. 5 stars!

    Courtney is the absolute best. Not only is she an incredible photographer, but also such a joy to work with. She was extremely flexible with us as we needed two engagement sessions and ended up changing our wedding date due to COVID. Courtney made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and all of our pictures were stunning! Could not recommend her more!!!

    Courtney made us look and feel like ourselves!

    Working with Courtney on our wedding photography has been nothing short of an absolute dream. Her breadth of knowledge, and amazingly broad scope-of-skill made everything so easy it became effortless. During the Day-Of, she made us feel more than comfortable and relaxed. And our photos only showcased that- they don't just look like a posed bride and groom; they look like US! Us laughing, us dancing, and us having the time of our lives! They were gorgeous, each one better than the last. Quality framing, lighting, and editing; Courtney is a master of her craft. She comes nothing short of fully recommended, without reservation! Don't pass up any opportunity to work with her!

    Absolutely amazing! I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Courtney! She is so talented, responsive, kind and energetic. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 so we had an intimate family ceremony and she captured the day perfectly. She is mindful about her photos, made everyone feel comfortable and was so easy/fun to work with. I would recommend her to any and everyone! Thank you Courtney!!

    Absolutely AMAZING!!!

    Courtney was everything. She was sweet, she was helpful, quick with communication, timely with everything, but not to mention how much of a genius she is with the camera. I think out of all my vendors, everybody was just obsessed with Courtney the most, including me and my husband!! She stayed quiet and out of the way during the whole day of the wedding I completely forgot she was even there, and then when we received our wedding videos back, we couldn’t believe the magic she captured. She is the ONLY wedding videographer you should consider!!!!

    11/10 if we do say so!

    Courtney is a bride and groom’s dream photographer! We are so grateful to have worked with her for our wedding. Her photography and videography speak for themselves on her website! Not only does her work capture the essence and emotion of the day, but she is a true professional while making it fun! From the second we met Courtney at our engagement photos, she made us feel comfortable, like we had known her for years, and excited about the moment! On our wedding day, she knew exactly when to take charge and get everyone organized, how to work with a lot of people and differing points of view, and when to melt into the room during more intimate moments. This is an art, and she’s got it down! It was so fun to see little moments that she captured that we had forgotten about or where we didn’t know she was right there. We absolutely adore our photos and all the little details and additions Courtney did to make our day and post-wedding special for us!
