We are Mia & Chris Courtney. The people behind the camera. We are a husband and wife team based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, 
We are are about inclusivity and welcoming everyone from every background. Love is love and we want to celebrate you exactly how you are and not what anyone tells you to be. 

Mia has been in the industry for 10+ years and is now going in to her 5th year of being a full time wedding photographer. Chris photographed his first wedding with Mia in 2018 and has been her second shooter ever since. He became a full time photographer alongside Mia in 2022. This is now all we do and we can give all our time to our amazing couples and their big days! 

Photography was never just about images—it was about preservation. A way to hold onto fleeting moments, to see and be seen. What started as a quiet fascination became second nature, almost like learning a new language.

I approach my work the way I approach life: with curiosity, intention, and an appreciation for the beauty in the in-between. My lens is drawn to quiet gestures, the weight of a glance, the way light and shadow tell their own story. Each frame is a reflection—not just of what’s in front of me, but of the life I’ve lived, the places I’ve been, and the way I’ve learned to see.

What started as a way to document turned into a way to                   — with people, stories, & beauty.

hi, we are Mia + Chris

Intimate weddings & elopements worldwide

An intimate wedding isn’t about less—it’s about more. More presence. More meaning. More space to celebrate in a way that feels true to you. I document with that same philosophy—balancing refinement with rawness, artistry with authenticity.

I don’t stage moments. I watch them unfold. I work with both digital and film, blending softness and structure to create images that feel cinematic yet real. No forced poses, no stiff smiles. Just you, as you are. Because the most beautiful stories aren’t manufactured. They’re simply witnessed.

Elevated, yet effortless.

Editorial meets documentary.
