About The Wedding Collections
All three of the Live Lovely Photography wedding collections are named after important women in my life. Charlotte is the name of my maternal grandmother and my mother as well as a niece and many ancestors. Laura is the name of my paternal grandmother, my beloved "Nana." And Irene was the name of one of my wonderful great aunts that I had the honor of knowing until my early adulthood. Each of these women has had a large impact on my life and choosing their names for my collections is just one small way that I can honor them.
Each and every wedding is a custom experience. We will work together to create your unique engagement session, the story of your wedding day, and your wedding album. If you love timeless black and white images and candid photojournalistic prints, then you will love your wedding photography with Live Lovely Photography. This personal approach to my business allows me to give you the best value for your wedding photography collection and I also professionally edit all of your images with custom presets that are unique to Live Lovely Photography. Your wedding images with Live Lovely truly are one of a kind.
I believe in being transparent with my pricing so that my clients do not have to jump through hoops to find out what I charge. I am proud of the collections that I have created for you, as they are made with the same care as I would like for my own wedding photography. When creating my collections I put a lot of thought into what I would want for myself, my loved ones, and especially my clients.
What it comes down to is that I believe that every couple deserves an engagement session and full coverage of their wedding day. That's the basics. I also believe that you deserve real tangible prints, wall art, and albums of your day. We live in a digital world, but your wedding photos should be enjoyed at home and displayed. You invest too much to keep your photos sitting in your computers and hard drives.

Elopement & Destination Wedding Collections
Destination and out-of-state weddings, engagements, and elopements may require an additional travel investment depending on the amount of time and distance of travel. As I do have a goal to photograph a wedding in every US state, your wedding may be eligible for $500 off if I have not yet photographed a wedding in the state where your wedding is taking place. Customizable wedding collections are available for destination weddings. First, select your favorite collection, and then we customize that collection to fit your destination wedding needs.
Adventurous elopements have customized pricing due to individualized requirements and start at $2,800. To learn more about destination weddings and elopements, please contact me for more information.
Each collection comes with a complimentary engagement session. This serves two purposes; this allows you to get to know me as your photographer before your wedding day which ensures that you feel comfortable and confident for your wedding day photos and also so that you will have professional portraits of the two of you together before you are married. Many people do not have professional photos taken until after their wedding; at Live Lovely I believe that every engagement is worth a celebration with special photographs to mark the occasion. And believe me, this "practice run" makes a big different on the wedding day. You and your partner will feel so much more comfortable taking pictures and it alleviates most photo jitters.
Every collection comes with full coverage from getting ready until the end of the reception. With my roots in photojournalism, this allows me to capture your entire wedding story form start to finish without missing any memorable moments. This also alleviates the pressure of an hourly contract where you might miss important moments of your day. Most weddings do not stay on time, so this makes a big difference, especially at a reception when you might run out of time for parent dances and cake cuttings. With this collection structure you never have to worry about missing a key moment or having to pay a large after hours fee.
Every single collection also comes with a particular print and album package because I believe that every couple should have tangible prints that they can cherish, share, gift, frame, and hang in their homes.
Discounts
In loving memory of my grandfather, Ronald Murray, Live Lovely Photography offers a 10% off military discount for any wedding collection. The military discount also comes with 10% off extra albums and additional prints.
For all couples who have had their wedding photographed with Live Lovely Photography, you will have a lifetime discount for additional photo sessions; 15% off all maternity and newborn sessions and 20% off all boudoir and anniversary photo shoots booked after your wedding. Live Lovely wedding couples also receive a special discounted price for all future family sessions. It is a joy photographing my couples through the years.
Boudoir Collections
Boudoir photography makes great wedding gifts, but they also make wonderful gifts for yourself. My boudoir sessions are classy, tasteful, and fun. My goal is help you gain confidence, feel beautiful, and have a photo shoot that is just for you. I do not Photoshop my clients because I believe that they are beautiful just the way they are and if they're gifting a session for a special someone, they would agree with me! With proper styling, hair, makeup, and lighting, and posing, we will create a boudoir session that you will look back on with confidence.
Hair, makeup, and hotels are not included in the pricing of the boudoir sessions, although I am happy to recommend my favorite vendors to make you look and feel your best. Your boudoir session can take place in your home, a home of a friend, or at a hotel of your choosing.
Nudity is not necessary for a boudoir session and we take photos that fit your comfort level. Nudity may be implied or if you're completely confident and want to show it all off for your photos, that is totally awesome too. It is perfectly normal to feel nervous and I hope by the end of the session you will feel beautiful and confident. Please bring a friend for support if you are feeling uncomfortable.
Your photos are also 100% confidential and protected, unless you express otherwise and sign a photo release to have certain photos shared. Your privacy is very important and I respect your confidentiality with your boudoir photos.

Boudoir Party Pricing
Boudoir parties are when more than one person plans a photo shoot at the same time and location for boudoir photos. This is a fun girl’s day idea and for those who are uncomfortable having boudoir photos taken alone, there is comfort and confidence with
having a friend or a few with you who are in the same boat. All photo shoots are done in private unless you would like your friends nearby for support and to hype you up.
For boudoir parties of two, each person gets 10% off their session. For parties three or more, each person receives 15% off their session. There is a seven person max for boudoir photo parties to ensure that everyone has enough time to get stunning photos.
All boudoir sessions are done on-site, meaning I will travel to a location of your choice (your home, a hotel or inn, Airbnb, or a friend’s place for your private session). It is your responsibility to book the room. Hair styling and makeup is highly encouraged to make you feel and look your best. I have a list of makeup artists and hair stylists that can travel to your location before your session, but you can go to your favorite stylist or makeup artist.
Maternity Lifestyle Sessions
I believe that maternity sessions are essential towards documenting this momentous occasion in your life. Many women have conflicting emotions while pregnant, although many agree that it is also a magical time in a woman's life. Let's document the good moments with a photo session that is all about capturing this special time.
My maternity sessions are a little different because I don't make it all about stiff or stereotypical poses. I don't want your pictures to just be about your pregnant belly. Mothers-to-be are more dynamic and I want to show off your personality and your personal beauty. Just because we're mothers or becoming mothers doesn't mean that you disappear behind that shiny new title. These photo sessions are all about capturing the beauty of the moment and the mama-to-be. You can also bring your spouse, significant other, or children to this session.
Maternity sessions may be taken at your home or a location of your choosing. Women who have had their wedding photos taken by Live Lovely Photography receive 10% off their maternity collection.

Newborn Lifestyle Sessions
Just like my maternity sessions, Live Lovely newborn photo sessions are all about capturing those special memories; just as they are. My lifestyle newborn sessions are taken right at your home where your best memories are happening. I capture candid and real moments rather than Photoshopped and posed staged shots. There is also no time limit planned into my newborn sessions because sometimes great images take time, especially with newborns.
Families who had maternity photos taken with Live Lovely Photography receive 10% off their newborn photo sessions. There is a time limit when newborn session can be done. For ease and safety it is recommended that newborn photos are taken within the first 1-2 weeks and no later. Family lifestyle sessions may be taken if your baby is over the newborn age for photos. The collections and pricing is the same, but certain poses are not doable for older infants.

Client Testimonial
Courtney is an incredibly talented photographer. She’s professional, adventurous, fun to work with, creative, and passionate about what she does. She captures any moment you want to have forever and is open to your ideas. On my wedding day, she was there from the moment we started getting ready until we left the venue for the night. Plus, she’s super sweet and it feels like you have a friend sharing your special day with you!

Client Testimonial
Courtney captured my engagement, I don't mean my engagement photos, but the moment of surprise, excitement of pure bliss and love [the proposal]. My fiance knew Courtney would be able to be quick with the camera but also purposeful when he proposed. I cannot express enough how happy I am to have the range of emotions I experienced in the span of a few seconds preserved in photographs.
After the proposal photos, we took some more traditional engagement photos but with the excitement still in the air, something I highly recommend. Courtney was very flexible and open to going to several different settings to take the photos. What I really appreciated about Courtney was the direction she gave. I can be knit-picky, when I see photos of myself I can often focus on that one strand of hair out of place or my shirt sitting funny, so when Courtney would make suggestions about how to stand or where to look, it took the photos to a whole new level of professionalism. If you need a photographer, book Courtney, it will be the best decision you made!

Client Testimonial
Courtney was an incredible wedding photographer from the beginning to the end. She is extremely friendly and easy to work with. She is responsive, and makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet her. She spent the entire day with me on my wedding day, and it felt like I had another close friend by my side! She is attentive, has great ideas, and I trusted her completely throughout the process. I was not disappointed! Her photographs speak well of her character; professional and lovely!

Client Testimonial
I had Courtney for both our engagement and wedding photos. We were not disappointed when we received them! The pictures are gorgeous! We knew from the moment we met Courtney that we wanted to have her work with us on our wedding day! The engagement photos were perfect because it was a way for us to get to know her better and for her to get to know us. She then spent our entire wedding day with us and was able to capture so many great moments! She is incredibly sweet and so easy to work with. She has so many great ideas and even the ones that I thought were a little silly came out extremely beautiful! She definitely knows what she's doing and is just inspiring to see her work.
We had many of our guests compliment her on how well she hid behind the scenes to take pictures. After seeing some pictures, guests commented that they had no idea she was around which i think make the best pictures! We have a few family members getting married soon and have already given her name out to them!
