Hi, I'm Courtney 👋
Extroverted
Creative
Considerate
The parts of life we value the most seem to fly by in an instant. While I love the stylish, vogue-esque posed shots - the most important moments I capture are the love & memories in every wedding day.
An American photographer living it up in the Garden of England, with my husband, our two little boys, & our dog, Lady. I was born & raised in the Pacific Northwest, so ALL of my love for wildlife & nature was growing right there with me. I've always loved being surrounded by lots of colour, which reflects heavily in my photography style (and usually, my hair.)

Seattle to London Photography Full Description
Bold, vibrant, and documentary style photography. I love the glamorous posed shots, but my favourites are the inbetweens; the children sneaking peeks at the cake, special moments between the bride and her new mother in law, the best man showing off the dance moves he totally hasn't been practicing for months.. I want to capture moments where you experience the subject's personality, where you can see the love in the new couple's eyes, I strive to capture photos that spark memories.

My favourite photos ever

Courtney is a fantastic photographer who was so good at communicating, really friendly & captured our day perfectly. She even sent us a bunch of sneak peak photos the night of our wedding which was just so lovely to have so quickly! ❤️ Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly Courtney! 🥰

Speechless

An unbelievably talented photographer and a genuine joy to be around! All of our expectations were completely blown out of the water. Hundreds of incredible photos that captured our day so so perfectly. Courtney was also so much fun and it really felt like we just had another friend at our wedding!! Could not recommend highly enough. We’re trying to come up with excuses to hire her again just so we can hang out 😂

A glimpse into people's souls

Dear Courtney, I cannot describe how exquisite and magical your work is, so I hope the pictures speak for themselves. We are so impressed with how you immediately noticed we were calling my grandma from Romania; you took pictures of the phone and of us talking to her, this was very ad hoc because we didn't speak about it prior. I was so focused on her I didn't notice any pictures being taken, but now I look at them and it makes me tear up. This is attention to detail like I've never seen before. Not only you are incredibly talented, work magic as illustrated below, but you are such a fun person and lovely to have next to us on the day. Your energy just puts everyone at ease. I feel that I got glimpses inside people's souls and the way they feel. Oh, last but not least, out of all wedding photographers we looked at when booking, you had the MOST flexibility and BEST prices! We could not be happier. Thank you for everything!

The Best Photographer (and Person!) We Could’ve Ever Asked For

We fell in love with Courtney’s photography style when we stumbled across her profile for the first time, but little did we know just how amazing she would be as a person too. From our very first phone call, we knew she was perfect for us. She instantly made us feel at ease, had us laughing, and made sure everything was well thought through and ready for the big day. And then when the day finally came – wow. We honestly can’t believe how lucky we were to have Courtney. She was always so kind and helpful, but also managed to keep our guests organised (and trust us, they needed it). So many people commented on how fantastic she was, and we even had guests ask if we already knew her, because she fitted in with everyone so naturally and felt like a friend. After such a long day, we were amazed when Courtney sent through a few photos that same evening. They completely blew us away. We were showing everyone and posting them instantly – they captured the joy and emotion of the day so perfectly. Then, just a few days later (even with it being Easter weekend and Courtney juggling other work), the rest of the gallery arrived, and every single photo was perfect. We laughed and cried all over again, reliving the best day of our lives through her beautiful work. We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Courtney is not only unbelievably talented, she’s warm, genuine, and simply a joy to be around. We recommend her with our whole hearts to anyone getting married – or even just thinking about it. Thank you, Courtney, for being such an important part of our day. You’ll always be one of the best choices we made.

Obsessed with these pictures!

A huge thank you to Courtney Richards who flew all the way from England to be there and take photos more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, and those sneak peeks being the thing that finally made me cry yesterday. We couldn't have asked for a better day with a better photographer!

We will be forever recommending you

Cannot thank you enough for running around and capturing our most special day. So glad it was you. You made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera from the minute you walked in the room. Thank you for all the little bits that you did that nobody else saw, and for all the quirky touches. We will forever be recommending you. Now hurry up with the edits, we cannot wait to see them! xD <3

Thank you, Courtney!

I'd like to say a huge thank you to Courtney Richards @seattletolondonphotography for creating photos that we will love to look back on forever. She is wonderful, warm, and a beautiful photographer. And corset tightener. And serial killer hobbyist. And Florida Man obsessive. ;P Thank you, Courtney!

Captured our day perfectly!

We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful photos, they are so warm and just capture everything I hoped our day would be! We decided against a videographer, so finding the right photographer was even more important to us. Courtney was not only our amazing photographer she was also a great support on the day (and leading up to it), she couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful when it came to planning and preparing for the style of photos we wanted. We were also so pleasantly surprised and excited to be sent a handful of photos on the night of our wedding and our online album less than a week later! Thank you so much for putting so much care into capturing our day Courtney. If you would like a stress free, professional and generally lovely photographer, Seattle to London is the perfect choice!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I went back to America to second shoot with my best friend, it was in the mountains and the trees that I missed so much. It was just a gorgeous wedding, with the most chill and sweet couple, from a relaxed time getting ready to the SWEETEST first look.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Bold, Vibrant, Colourful, Candid, Emotive

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm really proud of the work I've put into my business. How much I built it up in America, then restarting here in the UK. It's taken so much time and effort and love, and I'm so proud of where it is now :)

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Expect everything you've planned to go slightly different than you expect, and roll with it.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Chairs set aside for loved ones that were no longer with the family, and her dad's army patch sewn to the bottom of her train so he could walk her down the aisle.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Starting off with my website or Bridebook contact form. After chatting for a while, I like to schedule a call to run through what I offer, your expectations, etc. If you decide to go with me as your photographer, we'll find a time for a video chat or (preferred) coffee in person and chat to run through details :) then we'll keep in contact as your wedding details progress, and we can go through a proper, detailed run through of my side of the wedding plans!

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I can't decide between the veil shot, or the confetti!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

All of the groomsmen and the groom running towards a pint! Lol.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Clear umbrellas, all matching, it makes for great photos!

Describe how you got into photography.

As a teenager, I wasn't able to get glasses. But I had my camera, and every time I looked into the viewfinder, everything was crystal clear. I loved it, and while it was a strange way to get into photography, it makes for a funny story :p
