All the information you need to know about the Courtney Carney Photography Experience

The
WEDDING GUIDE

I’m a wedding photographer for couples who love big, laugh loud, and want to actually enjoy their wedding day!

I believe the best photos come from genuine connection, real emotion, and feeling completely at ease. No stiff posing or forced moments here! Just calm guidance, gentle direction, and space for you to be yourselves.

My role is part photographer, part calm presence, and part hype woman, making sure your day feels as good as it looks!

Wedding Photographer serving Indianapolis, Chicago, and beyond

What you can expect from me

Because the little things matter

A little extra, just because

engagement sessions

Once you say YES to the love of your life, it’s so easy to dive straight into planning. Pinterest boards, venue tours, vendor emails… all the things! But before the whirlwind really begins, this is your chance to slow down and celebrate this season together.

Engagement sessions are the very first step in our experience, and honestly one of my favorites. This is where we get comfortable together, you learn my shooting style, and I show you exactly how easy and natural being in front of the camera can feel. No awkward posing. No pressure. Just real connection, lots of laughs, and photos that feel like you.

By the time your wedding day arrives, you’ll feel confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy every second. And yes, you’ll probably walk away saying, “That was actually really fun!!”

Ways to personalize YOUR collection

Heirloom Albums

Handcrafted Albums are the perfect way to remember your wedding day

Your wedding photos deserve more than living on a hard drive or getting lost in your camera roll. Heirloom albums are a timeless way to relive your day, over and over again.

My couples love including an album because it becomes something tangible. Something you can flip through on anniversaries, share with family, and someday pass down. Long after the flowers fade and the cake is gone, this is what remains.

When the day is over, you’ll walk away with two things: your person, and the story of your wedding preserved in a way that lasts. That’s it. And it’s pretty special.

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. Wherever your heart is drawn, I’ll be ready to capture every moment.

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! 

Wherever your love story takes you, I’m there!

“I Would Hire Courtney 10,000x Over"

kind words

If I had to redo my entire wedding, I could go with another venue, different food, or even another dress, but I would always choose Courtney to photograph it!

from past clients

Yes, absolutely! I photograph weddings all across the Midwest and beyond. Whether you’re planning a classic city wedding, a romantic estate day, or something a little more off the beaten path, I’m always happy to come along for the ride!
