wedding & couples photographer

Capturing those perfectly imperfect moments is what drove me to first pick up a camera, but human connection is what has kept me inspired all these years. I believe I was put on this Earth to notice and document those tiny moments that tell your story. Although I’m a nomad at heart and love nothing more than traveling around to document your wildest adventures, the one place that has always felt like home to me is with my kids. When I’m not being your favorite third wheel, you can usually find me spending time with my kids and husband or taking our pups Bella Ziggy & Milo for walks.

I can’t wait to get to know your story too, and I’d be so honored to play a part in helping you tell it.

Serving Couples Since 2015

Real love is wild, unpredictable, and unapologetically real. It’s in the stolen glances, the spontaneous laughter, and the raw emotion of the day. Capturing a feeling in those moments—the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet and makes your heart race. Every image tells a story that is true to you, freezing time so you can relive the feeling of your beautiful, imperfect, and wonderfully crazy love forever.

These are a few of my favorite things…

  • The Philly Dilly!!

  • Italy + our home away from home LBI

  • Step Brothers

  • Thuderstorms

My story

Born and raised in New Jersey I spent the first couple years of my life on the house boat! I moved further south west in 2014 and started my dream business as a full time wedding photographer, while growing my family. Who I am has always been a happy go lucky, down to earth fun spirited, very affectionate type of person! I truly love connecting with my couples and becoming more of a friend rather then a business interaction, especially considering I am a professional third wheel on the most important days of their lives! I really feel that it what allows me to capture the in the moment and genuine portraits that I do because I can feel emotion through my camera. I have been a hopeless romantic since I can remember, ALWAYS so engrossed with any and every romantic movie, book, or story being told. I loved listening to the stories told by my grandmother of how my grandparents met leading up to their happily ever after. I wanted that story for myself my entire life, so it is not completely strange that I have connected and become so passionate about capturing couples happily ever after. I truly feel so blessed to be surrounded by so much love on a regular basis.

  • " There aren’t enough words to even describe what an incredible photographer she is....

    There is no one better than Courtney and her husband. There aren’t enough words to even describe what an incredible photographer she is but how amazing and thoughtful she is. Every shot she took on my wedding day had creative intention behind it, she made all of us laugh and feel comfortable, all my bridesmaids were obsessed with her and my husbands groomsmen loved her husband and instantly clicked. It felt like friends taking photos of us not photographers we hired. She knew everyone’s names, knew every shot we wanted and executed it. She also worked amazing with our videographer. She was responsive through the entire process and on top of her game.”

  • " Courtney is simply amazing!....

    Behind the breathtaking photos is a team so amazing and talented. My husband and I met Courtney while in a wedding party before we were even engaged, and it was then that we knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer. Our experience working with Courtney was flawless every step of the way. If there is anyone you want by your side on your wedding day it is Courtney and her husband Kevin. Not only did she make me feel confident and beautiful, we had so much fun! Everyone who got to meet Courtney and Kevin had so many positive things to say about them both. Upon getting back our Sneak Peak photos my jaw was dropped - I couldn't believe how perfectly our special moments were captured. Courtney Simpson Photography is the absolute best decision you will make for a vendor. “

  • " Courtney Simpson is a TOP-NOTCH photographer and friend. I say friend because that is what she became to us during the wedding process.

    We are a covid-couple that rescheduled numerous times and Courtney worked with us on every single occasion to make sure she could be there. She completely blew us away. Our engagement photos were beautiful so we knew she would but the wedding photos.... unreal, so light, airy and natural. Exactly what we were looking for. On top of magazine-like photos, Courtney was amazing to work with the day of the wedding she was so calm, relaxed, and knew exactly what to do. She never rushed us, she always told us what to do and kept us laughing. She was so easy to work with and you can tell how at ease we were from our photos. Courtney provides a service like no other. She is reliable, friendly, calm, and professional. I'd never hire anyone else. If you're looking for the most beautiful photos, and the most amazing person to work with. Pick Courtney, you'll thank me later. We LOVE this woman! “
