On your wedding day, you deserve something more than just a photographer--you need a friend you can count on. Courtney Carney, the woman behind the lens of Courtney Carney Photography, takes on the challenge of going above and beyond to satisfy her couples both personally and professionally. Read on to hear from Courtney herself about what she loves to capture most during a couple's celebration!

Please tell us more about your business

"I am a wedding photographer based in Indiana but travel all over the Midwest capturing bright, joyful, colorful images for my brides and grooms! My favorite things to photograph on a wedding day are bright, romantic portraits full of laughter, kisses and endless amounts of heart eyes. And we can't forget the candid moments with family and friends that go by in a blink of an eye...your grandpa tearing up as you walk down the aisle, laughing through tears during toasts, and all the sweet glances shared throughout the day!"

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you?

"I really strive to be more than just a vendor to my brides and grooms. I work really hard to go above and beyond to gain their trust and make them feel special throughout planning, day-of and beyond. Knowing more about each other, being able to laugh together, brings comfort to the relationship that makes it easy to capture the bright, joyful, natural photos I know my clients want. My goal is to make sure they know I'm always there with tips, encouragement and just to chat when they need it. The more emojis and GIFs included, the better!"
 

Do you have anything exciting you would like to share?

"I have been published and featured by WeddingDay Magazine recently. I also just completed an epic styled shoot at The Wilds in Bloomington, Indiana. I loved getting the chance to work with some of the best wedding vendors in the area and I am so proud of what we created!"

What inspires you to be in the wedding industry?

"The community. When I began as a wedding photographer I had the crazy idea that I had to do it all alone. That didn't last for long! Pushing myself to reach out and build relationships with other vendors that inspired me was one of the greatest steps forward for my business! I am now great friends with so many fellow industry professionals, they challenge me to try new things every day!"
 

What do you love most about working with couples?

"For me, the entire experience really is all about my couples! I love getting to support and cheer them on during the happiest time of their lives. I enjoy learning about what makes them tick as a couple and watching the way they love on one another. Marriage is awesome and being chosen as the person to document the meaningful moments and love a couple shares with each other brings me so much joy."
