About Courtney Brewer Photography

Courtney Brewer Photography

With over 15 years of experience, photography has taken me around the world. From the plains of Zambia and the mountains of Taiwan to the streets of Budapest and the parties of Los Angeles. Now I am happy to find myself here in Northern California capturing people’s most precious life moments. As a photographer, my goal is to alleviate any stress that might come with event coordination and ultimately be a facilitator of joy!

I approach each wedding less like a checklist of expected shots and more like a unique environment to document thoughtfully. I pay close attention to light, setting, and human interaction, which allows me to create images that feel immersive and distinct rather than standard or repetitive. Rather than relying on overly posed or formulaic shots, I focus on capturing natural interactions, subtle details, and the overall atmosphere of your day. My goal is to deliver a gallery that feels intentional, visually cohesive, and true to you — not something that could belong to anyone else.

    Sweet, respectful and highly skilled

    From our first conversation with Courtney, we knew we had found the right photographer. She was warm and responsive throughout the entire planning process. During the wedding, she worked stealthily in the background, capturing genuine moments without being intrusive. What really impressed us was the quality of her editing—she went above and beyond with the details (for example: removing stickers from the bottom of my shoes that I hadn't even noticed until I saw other people’s iPhone shots of the same moment — oops!). We couldn't be happier with our choice and recommend her without hesitation.

    High-Value Photographer

    We are really, really glad we chose Courtney to cover our wedding last month. It happened to be a pretty windy day and she totally made the most of it by working with the conditions and directing us appropriately. She was super chill and friendly, so we felt comfortable with her from the start. I'd also like to mention what amazing value we got with her compared to other photographers' pricing! I can't speak for what her prices might be now or in the future, but she definitely worked with us to provide an extremely reasonable rate for being such a talented and experienced pro.

    My husband David, our pup Levi and I had our 23 year anniversary/wedding vow renewal on Irish Beach CA and were so honored to have Courtney Brewer Photography (Courtney) capture these loving beautiful memories for us. Courtney was amazing to work with! She made us feel comfortable and at ease as you can see in the fabulous photos. We didn't know the best spot for vows or specific photos but Courtney knew the best areas for everything on this very windy day which made it so much easier on us. She was very reachable, available for suggestions and had all of our photos back to us in 24 hours--even though it could have been 1-2 weeks! She engaged with me like we were longtime friends on our walk of the beach and put me at ease. She was so patient and sweet, even complimentary of our 1 year old chaotic Boxer which just made our day, even more! If you have an event, special occasion we highly recommend Courtney Brewer Photography for your photos. You will absolutely love them, love her and love everything about your experience!

    I wasn’t sure how to pick a photographer for my family event. I was drawn to Courtney’s competitive rates and good reviews, but what sold me was chatting with her. She seemed to really understand what I wanted—no formal fake smiles, just us having fun. Now I’m so happy I hired her. In short, she just took care of everything. Blended in, caught great candid shots. Her edits showed great attention to detail –and most importantly, my mother-in-law was impressed with the final photos! Not an easy feat. Easy to work with, good prices, great results. Highly recommend.

    Thank you so much, Kristine!! Wow I’m honored to receive such positive feedback from you and also hearing of this 2nd hand feedback from your mother-in-law! 😮


Definitely. All final images will be edited for optimization of color, alignment and brightness. Sometimes I also erase blemishes and remove distracting objects at my discretion.
There is no right answer to this, but the further before your wedding date, the higher likelihood of securing my service. I would suggest 3-6 months in advance, but I will always accept last minute requests so long as I am available!
It depends on my workload, but I generally guarantee final images to be delivered no longer than 7 business days after the wedding.
I prefer focusing on photography only so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. However, I am always happy to capture some iPhone clips if requested :)
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on factors such as number of guests, venue, and location changes between ceremony, reception, etc.
Currently I do not. For this reason, I cannot photograph weddings with more than 100 guests or in cases with conflicting priorities (for example, photographing guests arriving if it is happening at the same time as bride getting ready with bridesmaids in backroom).
