Courtney Louise

Hello, I’m Courtney, a professional Gloucestershire based wedding photographer covering mainly the Cotswolds, and the surrounding counties.

I photograph weddings in a very laid back, un-obtrusive manner, capturing the whole day as it unfolds in front of me. I photograph all the elements of the day discreetly; creating a great mixture of natural moments, soft and romantic private newly-wed photos, relaxed group shots and never missing those sweet little details- all photographed with beautiful, natural light. Visit their website for more information

Especially Amy

Nobody likes a bossy photographer.. Especially me, which is why I always work in a quiet and unobtrusive way. I’ll do my best to capture your family and friends without them being conscious of the camera. I also like to capture the little moments you might not notice on the day, whether it be your flower girls playing or a touching moment between friends. I normally start when you’re getting ready and finish around the first dance. But I can start earlier and finish later. If you like, we can also do an engagement photo or pre-wedding photo shoot. Not essential, but a nice and easy way to get to know each other. Visit her website for more information
