I am Courtney Marie

I started my photography business in 2021 during quarantine, when an unexpected amount of free time pushed me to finally dive into something I had always loved. I began by practicing with my cats (the most patient models), and once the state opened back up, I started taking on clients — and never looked back.

Photography has always been a part of my life. My dad is a wedding photographer, and growing up I loved watching him build his business and capture such meaningful moments for couples. Being around that environment shaped my passion and showed me just how special this work truly is.

Fast forward to today, I’ve been a full-time photographer for nearly six years, and I still feel incredibly honored to do what I do. Capturing one of the most important days in a couple’s life is something I don’t take lightly, and I feel so blessed every time a couple trusts me to bring their vision to life.

My husband is also a huge part of my business — he joins me as a second photographer at weddings, captures social media content during sessions, and handles all the heavy lifting. Together, we’ve been able to travel all across Michigan documenting love stories, and we’re excited to continue expanding into out-of-state weddings and events.

“When people look at my pictures, I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice.”

Second Photographer


Maxwell Malott

Photography has completely changed our lives, and we feel incredibly honored to capture some of the most important moments in people’s lives. It’s a privilege we don’t take lightly, and there’s nothing else we’d rather be doing.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you can usually find me loving on animals, golfing, bouldering, or geeking out over creative ideas. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s calm, friendly, a little quirky, and genuinely invested in your story — you’re in the right place.
