About Me
Howdy! I'm Courtney, the face behind Courtney Hathaway Photography (CHP!), a freelance photographer based on the stunning Outer Banks of North Carolina. Since 2006, I've had the privilege of capturing countless weddings and portraits across the Outer Banks and beyond. Born and raised on Roanoke Island, I have an unwavering love for this unique corner of the world and love sharing its beauty with my clients.
My passion lies in preserving special moments in time - whether it's the joy and laughter of a family portrait on the beach, the raw emotions of a couple's first dance, or the scenic beauty of a destination wedding. I believe in capturing genuine moments and creating timeless images that reflect the unique essence of each client.
