Courtney Carney
Hi there!
I'm Courtney
Want to know more about me and what an experience is like? Keep scrolling!
I'm a wedding photographer based in Indianapolis, Indiana but love traveling all over the Midwest! I love photographing madly in love couples, whether on their wedding day, celebrating their anniversary, or during a couples session. After years of shooting weddings, I love giving my clients a fun, organized, stress-free wedding experience from beginning to end!
I believe your photos should feel like you—full of love, laughter, and the little moments that make your day unforgettable
My Philosophy
— Caroline + Peter
"Courtney was the best photographer we could have asked for! She made pictures quick, easy, and fun for us and we LOVED every last one of them!"
"If I had to redo my entire wedding, I could go with another venue, different food, or even another dress, but I would hire Courtney Carney 10000x over!"
— Courtney + Ty
"We LOVED working with Courtney!!! She’s amazing to work with, so helpful, answered all of my 10000 questions, and made our day so special. I would not have been this happy with any other photographer!"
— Elizabeth + Ty
The Process
First Up: Let's Meet!
Fill out the contact form below. (Yes, it really is that easy!) Once I receive your inquiry and ensure I’m available for your date, I’ll be in touch with an email going over all the details of what a wedding experience with me looks like. We’ll take the time to get to know each other and if you decide we’re the perfect fit for your day, we’ll get your date safe and secured through an easy-to-use online booking system. You’ll be able to review your collection details, sign your contract, and pay your deposit online. It’s wedding planning as fast and easy as ordering off Amazon, does it get much better than that?!
1.
Your Engagement Session
Now that you’re booked, here’s where the fun begins! First on the list? Scheduling your engagement session!! This is truly one of my favorite parts of the experience, it gives us the chance to hang out and have fun together before the wedding! I’ll be sending over my exclusive style guide to ensure you look and feel your best for your session. After your session, you’ll get your very own feature on the Courtney Carney blog plus an online gallery of your photos to share with all of your family and friends!

Planning Your
Day
This is the meat and potatoes of our time together...planning your day! We’ll work to make sure I’m completely prepared with planning sessions, emails, timeline creation, family formal lists, a detailed wedding questionnaire, and plenty of texts full of GIFs. Remember me saying I’m an Enneagram 1? This is all pre scheduled so we’re always knocking this out at exactly the time we need to be. I work with each of my Courtney Carney couples to plan their day to guarantee we can have a photo-friendly timeline so you can relax and focus on having a good time!

It's Time! Your Wedding Day!!
Your big day is HERE!! This is where you get to sit back and relax, knowing you’re in good hands! I’ll be there to capture the candid moments, the beautiful details, and all the perfect little moments in-between. Like the way your mom tears up putting in your veil, your dad getting emotional seeing you in your dress for the first time, the look the two of you share the first time you see each other that day, your first kiss as a MARRIED couple, the soft, secret smiles the two of you share during dinner and toasts, and all the hilarious dance moves your family and friends bring to the dance floor. I’m so excited to share your story!
4.
After The Wedding-Gallery Delivery
I'm always SO excited to jump right into editing your images, you'll receive a few sneak peeks the day after your wedding! Once your gallery is complete, I'll send you a link that's easy to share all your memories with your family and friends. Order an album? After your gallery is delivered, simply mark your favorites in your gallery and I'll use these to create a custom proof of your album. You'll get the chance to review and make any customizations before it's sent off for printing. Easy peasy!

Considering A Destination Wedding?
There’s something so magical about saying “I do” in a place that feels like an adventure all on its own—and I’m always packed and ready to go wherever your love story leads! Whether it’s the rolling hills of Tuscany, the colorful coastlines of Positano, the lush lavender fields of Provence, or the quiet charm of a hidden beach in the Caribbean… I’m there!
But your dream destination doesn’t have to mean overseas! I also adore the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest, the desert glow of Arizona, the coastal charm of Charleston, the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, and the relaxed elegance of Napa Valley.

Destination weddings are more than just a celebration—they’re a full experience. Whether you're planning an intimate getaway with just the two of you or a joyful weekend with your favorite people, I’ll be right by your side, documenting every laugh, happy tear, and jaw-dropping view.
Let’s turn your dream destination into your favorite memory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, yes, yes I love to travel! Especially if it's some place new! Let me know the location you're thinking of and I can put together a custom travel quote just for you!!
I love using natural light to create a timeless, true-to-color style that feels just like you. I totally get that most people don’t spend every day in front of a camera, which is why I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way—cheering you on, giving direction when needed, and making sure your genuine, fun-loving personalities shine through in every photo!
On average, I deliver 75 to 100 edited images per hour of coverage, depending on the flow of the day and what’s happening moment to moment. Every wedding is unique, so while I never limit the number of photos I deliver, I focus on quality and making sure you get the very best moments—big and small—from your day!
You can expect your full wedding gallery within 4-6 weeks after your big day! I know how exciting it is to relive all those special moments, so I’ll also send you a little sneak peek within the first 48 hours to hold you over while I’m editing the rest. 🎉
You’ll receive your photos in a beautiful online gallery that’s easy to use and perfect for sharing with family and friends! You’ll be able to download high-resolution images, order prints, and keep everything organized in one place. The best part? The gallery stays live for one full year, so you can revisit your favorite moments anytime.
Booking is super simple! Once you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over a custom proposal with your contract and invoice. A signed agreement and a 25% retainer officially reserve your date—then we’re all set! From there, I’ll send you a welcome guide with everything you need to know, and we’ll start dreaming up all the fun details together!
Yay, I can't wait to chat!!
