About

Hi, I’m Courtney.

I see the magnificent in the mundane, and I want you to see it in yourself.

For years I owned a beautiful camera and did nothing with it, until a friend asked me why. In August 2020, with the world on pause, I decided there was no better time to do what I love. Courtney Marie Photography was born.

Since then I’ve photographed portraits, engagements, weddings, seniors, families and galas across Rochester, and I’m still refining my craft every season. Never complacent, always for the sake of the art and the people in front of my lens.

What I believe

Art, an experience, and care.

The art

Photography is art. I look for the moments the common eye won’t see, and I aim to find beauty in everything.

The experience

Your time with me should be valued, joyful and exciting: an experience that reflects how priceless you are.

The care

From posing direction to how your files are stored, I treat every client and every photo with respect.

Let’s make something you’ll keep forever.

Portraits, engagements, weddings, seniors and events in Rochester, NY and beyond.

Behind the lens

The person behind every frame.

When you book a session, you’re booking me. I’m the one guiding every pose, cheering you on and making sure you feel like yourself the whole time.

Photography gave me a way to show people what I see in them. I can’t wait to show you.
