My approach blends professionalism with intention, making your photos yours, and having lots of fun in between.
Every session, wedding, and event is approached with care, thoughtfully creating images that feel true to you, and not a trend or a template. I’m detail-oriented and believe the smallest moments often tell the biggest stories, which is why I focus just as much on how your experience feels as how your photos look.
I’ve been photographing sessions since 2019 and weddings since 2021, with over 300 sessions and 50 weddings captured along the way. In between the intentional moments, you can expect plenty of laughter, movement, and fun because the best photos happen when you feel like yourself.
To start your experience, you will need to fill out the inquiry form. Once your inquiry form is submitted and I receive it, I'll do a little happy dance. I will respond to your form submission during my office hours and we will discuss all details regarding how to best capture this special time in your life.

Once you're ready to join the CBP Fam, I'll send you a contract and invoice to officially secure your booking. To reserve your spot, I need a signed contract and a retainer payment, which is usually 50% of the session package cost. For weddings and elopements, this will depend on the chosen package. If the proposed payment plan doesn’t work for you, I’m more than happy to provide customized options. This is where the magic begins, and I’m so excited to be your photographer!

Wedding packages with Courtney Broska Photography offer more than photography services. You gain a calm, experienced presence you can rely on throughout your day. Courtney has been photographing weddings since 2021, bringing timeline creation, thoughtful direction, and the ability to navigate unexpected moments with ease so you can stay present and enjoy your day.
Every offered wedding package includes coverage by both Courtney and her partner, Eric, who has been photographing weddings since 2022 and serves as a trusted second photographer. Working together as a seamless team allows for fuller storytelling from multiple perspectives, capturing the big moments as they unfold while preserving the quiet and in-between ones happening at the same time. The result is an intentional, emotional gallery and an experience that feels supported from start to finish.

weddings
You don’t need a strict schedule or a big audience, just the intention to be there with each other. My goal is for your elopement to feel calm, meaningful, and unforced, while your images feel entirely your own. Whether you’re saying your vows at Buffalo City Hall, in your backyard, or in a national park, my focus stays the same: documenting what matters most — your love as it is right now.
My role on an elopement day goes beyond showing up with a camera. I help you plan in a way that supports how you want to feel, from choosing locations with beautiful light to building a timeline that leaves room to breathe. I’m there to guide when needed, but to step back when the moment
deserves to unfold naturally.

Elopements
Starting at $900 for two hours
I photograph lifestyle sessions with a balance of gentle direction and space to just exist. You won’t be left wondering what to do or if I'm getting your "good angles". Instead, I focus on movement, connection, and the in-between moments that feel honest. Every session is thoughtfully planned with location, light, and styling in mind as the details matter, and they show in the final gallery.
With over 300 lifestyle sessions photographed since 2019, I know how to adapt to real life as it unfolds. Kids don’t need to be “perfect,” couples don’t need to be models, and you don’t need to know how to pose. You just need to show up as yourself. My goal is for your session to feel easy, enjoyable, and genuinely fun, while your images feel like a true reflection of this season of your life.

Travel expenses are additional to all session, wedding, and elopement packages for locations more than 40 miles roundtrip from my base. A mileage fee will be applied for any distance traveled beyond this 40-mile threshold.
For locations over 150 miles roundtrip, lodging and potential airfare will also be necessary, and these costs will be charged separately from the chosen package.
FAQs
Yes! I offer mini sessions year-round, starting at $225. Each session includes one location, one outfit, up to 20 minutes of time photographing, a full high-resolution gallery, personal printing rights, and access to a professional print shop.
In addition to the year-round mini sessions, I also host themed mini sessions throughout the year (like Fall Minis in autumn and Valentine's Minis in winter). To stay updated on these styled mini sessions, be sure to follow Courtney Broska Photography on Instagram and Facebook!
FAQs
To ensure you have the best experience, I recommend booking your session six to eight weeks in advance, and as soon as you have your wedding or elopement date. If you’re planning during peak season (May-October), it’s especially important to inquire early to secure your preferred date!
To officially reserve your spot, I need a signed contract and a retainer payment, usually 50% of the session package cost. For weddings and elopements, this will depend on the chosen package. If the proposed payment plan doesn’t work for you, I’m more than happy to provide customized options.
My turnaround time for sessions is up to four weeks, especially during busy periods. For weddings and elopements, the maximum turnaround is three months.
FAQs
Well duh, of course you can! I am a lover of all things fluffy and cute. Although I love all animals, I am not fond of anything that is slimy and slithery. You can bring your goldfish, that's cool with me. But if you want to bring your pet 🐍, I will sadly have to refer you to someone else!
I ask that if you're interested in bringing your pet to please contact me before doing so.
FAQs
Absolutely! I’d be thrilled to capture your most genuine, candid moments—it's my goal with every client. If you think you, your child(ren), or your partner would feel more at ease in your own space, let’s make it happen! Just a well-lit room or window area and plenty of love is all I need.
If you prefer to take photos outdoors instead of inside your home, that’s perfectly fine too!

Her website had a great gallery of her previous work to look over and provided details on the packages she offered. When I reached out to Courtney to book the session she was quick to reply and very flexible with dates and times. She was great about offering up suggestions about locations and times of day to get just the right light. On the day of the photos she came prepared with a changing tent and made the session fun and relaxed for my daughter. The final pictures were ready as promised and exceeded our expectations! They are all stunning! - Erica W.
