My name is Courtney AKA leadheartphoto

I love when people go against the “norm”, and break the rules when it comes to tradition. Now, I don’t mean anything illegal, but for example getting ready with your spouse on your wedding/ elopement day, or getting hitched in the desert, a big hell yes from me. I love to hike, so if your day involves that at all- I’m always up for the adventure. When I’m not documenting your stories, you can find me reading a good book, hiking in the Adirondack Mountains with my chocolate lab named Rip, or tending to my 11 chickens, and a rooster named Beans.

Fun Facts about me

Getting to know your photographer

If you asked me to fly to a new country tomorrow, I’d probably say yes- I’m pretty spontaneous. I love being in the mountains, so if you want me to document your story there- major bonus points.


I have a chocolate lab named Rip, a rooster named Beans, and I have 11 chickens. The rooster was actually named by one of my clients' kids. So if you love animals too, definitely wouldn’t mind if you brought them to your session.


Give me a sunset or a sunrise, while playing some Zack Bryan and I’m as happy as can be. I haven’t heard a song by him that I didn’t love.


Telling your story is my favorite things to do

I’ve explored cities like London and Scotland, and I've definitely developed a profound appreciation for the beauty our world offers. However, It's the allure of the mountains that truly captivates my soul. There's something so magical about their towering peaks and serene valleys, reminding me of a simpler, slower way of life that resonates deeply with me. If you are getting married/ eloped in any of the following locations I would LOVE to document it.
