Last Day to Enter!


Last Day!
What's involved?
Entrants must be fearless brides! There are no limits to this session, so start stretching because you may be jumping, hanging, laying on roads and need to get up fast if a car comes... get the picture? The winner will be the model in a bridal session at the location of my choice within the Reno-Tahoe-Sacramento vicinity...most likely somewhere gritty and grungy because that's where I love to stick a gorgeous girl in white!
As an added bonus, I am so SO so happy to announce that there will an outrageously amazing bouquet provided by Holly Fleur, accessories provided by The Vintage Empire, and makeup design by Natalie Cusson!
I want you to feel completely comfortable and like the absolutely fabulous woman that you are! This shoot will scream style so think of the hottest shoes in your closest... or maybe a pair you just saw at the store but have no clue where you'd wear them! If you don't know what you'd wear, don't worry! We'll figure out all the details after you win!
You may be a past bride, a bride-to-be or a future bride (what better way to give your man the hint that to see gorgeous pics of you in white, right?) This contest is open to everyone with a lot of energy who is up for a fun session with me! The winner will receive the images from the session on disc and must be ok with my using the images for promotional purposes.
To Enter, email me at info@courtneywilsonphotography.com with a picture(s) of yourself exuding style and glamour! The more out-there and unique the better! There are no limits to these pictures... it can be you, it can be your head pasted into a magazine layout you love, it can be whatever creative way you can interpret this request! Also, include your name, city, email address and a short message about why you should win. Becoming a fan on Facebook won't hurt your chances either!
The contest will last until February 14th, and a winner will be announced the following week. We'll shoot for the session to happen in April, but that will be determined once a winner is selected.
Good luck!

A Snowy Bridal Session

I have been waiting patiently to post these images and the moment has finally come! Betsy wanted to do these as a surprise for her then, husband-to-be. The wedding was last night and absolutely gorgeous! Needless to say, he was blown away as he entered the reception and saw one of these images in a big, beautiful frame. Congrats to the newlyweds and I can't wait to get started on editing their wedding images! Betsy and Scott are some of the most genuine clients I have!

p.s. Kudos to Betsy and her mom, Deb, for hauling this couch up to Lake Tahoe and braving the chilly weather to capture this concept! (yes, she's barefoot!) How did the couch get into the middle of the woods? If only we had a picture to show:)

Rachelle & John | Lincoln, California

Rachelle and John picked a gorgeous setting tucked in the rolling hills of Lincoln, California. After their engagement session a few months ago, I couldn't wait for this day. When a couple is so in love, they forget I am even there... that is when the best moments are captured. When a bride is wearing leopard print heels, you know she means business! The guest list included many navy men and women and it was so wonderful to experience the honor and respect this event held for them. Congratulations you two!

DJ: Larry Burow with Extreme Productions
















These guys were hilarious! It wasn't hard to keep everyone smiling with them around!























One the coolest traditions I've experienced: The entire room was silent, as the swordsmen marched in and created an arch.


Then, as John and Rachelle made there way past each set of swordman, they would say "Kiss and you may pass."


Then, after passing the very last set, Rachelle got a little tap on the bum as they all said "Welcome to the Navy!!!!" It was awesome!


Ok, so if you have a Navy wedding, invite me please. This was such a fun group! As a complete surprise to Rachelle, the DJ started playing "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" (Top Gun- remember?) and all the guys were singing and dancing around her!
