Here's a Little More About Courtney!

Courtney Wingfield is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer based on the east coast. After discovering photography as a teenager she fell in love with documenting life. In 2021, Courtney took a leap of faith and created Ardent and Elm Photo. She immediately fell in love with creating imagery that evokes emotion and captures the magic that unfolds in everyday moments. As a self proclaimed hopeless romantic, capturing love stories is her dream job! In her free time, she loves to spend time with her husband and two fur babies.
