Welcome to Southern Illinois, where sunsets are worth chasing, coffee is a cherished ritual, and new adventures are always over the horizon. As a seasoned Southern Illinois wedding and family photographer, I believe that life is all about capturing unforgettable moments that make your heart skip a beat.
Picture this: trotting through golden fields at sunset, you and your partner cuddling in the bed of a vintage truck, and then ending your night like a moment straight out of 90s country by kicking the dust up while the stars go blue.
Welcome to Southern Illinois, where sunsets are worth chasing, coffee is a cherished ritual, and new adventures are always over the horizon. As a seasoned Southern Illinois wedding and family photographer, I believe that life is all about capturing unforgettable moments that make your heart skip a beat.

HECK YES!
On this side of the creek, life's sweetest moments are captured with a whole lotta love and a dash of southern charm. Just like your favorite country song, I believe in the magic of sunsets, the comfort of morning coffee, and the thrill of a wild adventure.
Raised right here in Southern Illinois on 90s country and sweet tea, I've got a passion for capturing each moment with honesty, warmth, and a sprinkle of wildness.

Courtney did my engagement & wedding photos and they were absolutely stunning! When you hire boulder creek you are not just hiring an extremely talented photographer. You are hiring a fairy godmother, a friend, and an American ninja warrior (it'll make more sense once you hire her;)) Every single person who attended our wedding loved Courtney and all of the work she did. She goes above and beyond! She is worth every penny! I wish I we were having another wedding just so we can keep reliving the experience with her!
-The Stilley Family
We absolutely adore Courtney! We’ve used her for engagement, newborn, and family photos. She is great at making you feel comfortable, and is so sweet. Her photos are absolutely beautiful. We receive so many compliments on them. And she gets them back you so quickly!
-Sadie + Tyler
Boulder Creek Photography was hands down the best choice that we made for our wedding. Courtney is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
We first met her at my sister's wedding, and instantly we knew that she had to photograph our wedding. She had great ideas of where to take our engagement photos, and had both my husband and I laughing the whole time.
Not only does she help you create a timeline of your whole wedding day, but also is there for anything you need. She helped make things run smoothly on our wedding day. I truly do not think our wedding day would have been what it was without her there.
There aren't many photographers that can provide you with your photo gallery in under two weeks. We were even so impressed when she showed us sneak peeks at the conclusion of the evening.
Her talent shines from the beautiful pictures she captures. We received so many compliments on the photos from family and friends.
I highly recommend Boulder Creek Photography for any of your photography needs!
-Miranda + Matt
Courtney is the best! Engagement photos she was warm and welcoming - was very easy to break the ice and get to laughing and having a good time. And the photos really show that!
We look happy and natural - exactly what you want your engagement photos to look like!
Then wedding day - oh my goodness. She. Was. On. It. She is ready for any mishap, she helped fix my dress in the last minute, she was able to wrangle my family together (not an easy task), she had a blast with the bridal party photos (and again - they look it!) and our portraits are dreamy.
Seriously could not have asked for a better photographer to trust our special day with - thank you thank you to Courtney. Can not recommend enough!
-Macey + DJ
I couldn’t recommend Courtney enough! She is the absolute best to work with and she makes your big day as seamless as possible.
Not only is she so fun to work with on the day of - she gets your full album of wedding pictures back in a week!!
I would pick her over and over.
-Andrea M., Bride's Mother
From the very beginning Courtney was so easy to talk to, I knew from the start she was the perfect choice for our big event.
My daughter and fiancé lived in St. Louis and Courtney didn't hesitate to make the trip up there for engagement pictures, so they were able to take her to some of their favorite spots, which made for some amazing photos.
Leading up to the wedding Courtney kept in touch and helped with any questions, concerns or ideas.
When you get Courtney you are actually getting a wedding planner built in. Prior to the wedding she provided a time line that was a lifesaver and kept everything flowing throughout the day.
Courtney got to know us and it shows in her photos of the day. Courtney's laid back, organized, professional and creative manner puts you at ease on this very special day. Courtney works her magic and the end result are the most beautiful moments captured for our family to have to cherish forever.
Courtney is the BEST!
-Jocelyn + Andy
Boulder Creek Photography provided us a phenomenal experience for our wedding day!
Not only did Courtney capture the most beautiful, talented, well thought out photographs - she also created a timeline that made our day run smoothly and came prepared with everything I needed as the bride that I didn't think of (including a crochet hook, hangers, and flip flops haha).
I couldn't recommend Boulder Creek Photography more!!!
-Logan + Abby
While searching for a photographer in Southern Illinois to capture my proposal to my girlfriend, Boulder Creek Photography popped up. Courtney was my partner in helping to set up the perfect location at Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest to surprise my girlfriend and pop the question. Her photographs capture the beauty of the moment and of the surrounding land perfectly. We got so many compliments on the photos from family and friends that we knew we couldn't have anyone else capture our wedding day too.
Even with us moving the wedding date due to the global pandemic, Courtney was excellent in communicating with us. She even drove 5 hours up to our venue in Central Illinois after having just done a wedding the night before. Little did we know that on our wedding day we hired a wedding planner and photographer all in one. Courtney was so kind to help out around the venue as well as help us stay on time. She was such a joy to work with. She not only knew where and how to tell us to pose in our couples pictures, but also allowed the bride and I to have our special moments and captured them silently from afar. We were blown away when we received the final pictures from the wedding.
The interface to view and download the photos was organized and easy to use. She took a multitude of different photos other than the ceremony and reception such as candid photos, photos of our friends and family, and photos of our decorations. Her artistic skill was shown through her use of black & white photos and focal effect. We were absolutely shocked by not only the quantity of photos, but the wide range of subject matter. It is clear to say Courtney captured every detail of our special day.
-Colin + Danielle
We hired Courtney for our wedding after seeing her work with my brother and SIL at their wedding. Courtney was nothing short of fantastic to work with! Our wedding was this past weekend in Evansville, IN and by the end of the night it felt like we’d been friends forever. From the engagement session earlier this year, through to the end of wedding night, she went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted and help us have the day we’d dreamed of! The photos from our engagement session are some of my favorite photos of us and I cannot wait to see how the wedding photos turn out! Courtney even helped fix my veil, tie my shoes, etc during the day which was not expected of her at all! She was even willing to be very flexible when we thought COVID May ruin our initial wedding plans. I will hire Courtney every time I need photos taken and I highly recommend her. She is professional yet extremely personable and a true joy to work with!

NIKKI:
I cant not tell you how AMAZING Courtney was for my wedding. She is more than a photographer she is a bridesmaid, event coordinator, wedding planner, and emergrncy bridal service all rolled into one!! She saved the day on multiple occasions from pulling her personal steamer out when my bridesmaids dressed looked a mess to completely taking over and keeping everything on schedule when my own wedding cordinator bailed 30 minutes into my wedding!!! I cant thank her enough and cant encourage you more to book her. Also the photos were breathtaking 😍
COLLIN:
Courtney was a perfect photographer. She is professional, prepared for any situation, and obviously is passionate about her job. Her photos are spectacular and creative. Courtney always went out of her way to provide for anything my wife and I needed during our special day.
I would highly recommend Courtney and her team to anyone who need their photos taken.
-Ann O., Bride's Mother
Exceptional in every way! Not only are the photographs amazing, but Courtney and her sister went way above and beyond to care for everyone and ensure we had everything we needed.
She even brought a steamer to be sure the dresses looked perfect!
-Monika + Sam
Courtney and her assistant, Carrie, were absolute perfection! They were great with my infant daughter and had everyone laughing and comfortable! She's extremely talented and worth every penny, if I could give more than 5 stars I would! I highly recommend Boulder Creek Photography for any big memories you want to keep
-Sierra + Ethan
Boulder Creek Photography was the BEST decision I made for my wedding!! From my engagement session, up to the day of my wedding Courtney has helped me in sooo many ways!!
Let me start with our engagement session. Around January we booked with Boulder Creek and I explained to Courtney that I had my heart set on a beach wedding but couldn’t due to family traveling so we decided to do a wedding here at home (which I am now very happy about my choice in doing that). Courtney, knowing how much I loved the beach, did some research to find our engagement session shoot! It was PERFECT!!!!!! We went all the way to Grand Rivers Kentucky for our shoot and the pictures were amazing to say the least. My husband and I never has professional pictures done so we were a tad nervous. Once we meet Courtney we felt at ease. She is not only kind and down to earth, she knows what she is doing!! She made it so easy and it turned into a 4 hour photo shoot! She really goes above and beyond for her clients.
Now to the wedding-9/14/2019 from the months in between the engagement shoot and up to the wedding Courtney was always available if I had any concerns or questions. The day of the wedding she was there making magic with the photos she captured! I only saw a few but from what she showed me I am soooo excited to see the rest! The day of my wedding she carried many roles that may not have been apart of her job description. Not only my photographer, but a wedding planner as well she helped in so many ways I cant even explain how grateful I am to have her that day! We will be booking her for future events in our life!!! Thank you again Courtney!
-Taylor + Ben
Okay, seriously, I don’t even know where to start! A wedding is THE most stressful thing that I have ever had to plan, and I’m sure most can relate! My expectations for a photographer were totally blew out of the water with Courtney. Our big day went so smoothly thanks to her advice and experience! Not only did she take the most beautiful pictures for us that we will cherish forever, but she was like my right hand woman that day. She was fixing dresses, touching up my makeup at 10 p.m., and even helping with flowers etc. I have never ever met a more dedicated photographer, and I work with them a lot as a designer. Thank you SO so much Courtney for everything you did for us. I feel like I’ve made a life long friend, that’s how special she makes you feel as a client. My husband and I can not recommend her enough! Worth every single penny and more!!
-Haley + Trey
Being a Boulder Creek Bride, I can tell you first hand how amazing she is! Not only was she my photographer but that girl helped anyway she could. From rounding up the wedding party (that was a job in itself believe me) to cutting down boutonnieres, making a boutonniere (we were 1 short and I was wigging out she literally took pieces from the extra greenery and made a whole boutonniere that matched the others perfectly) and she put them on the guys making sure they were all ready to go. I seriously have no idea what I would have done if she wasn’t there. Anything I needed she was right there to help me. In all the chaos she was so calm and made sure Cody and I had all her attention. I will forever cherish memories from that special day, from her kindness to the amazing photos she took!! Without hesitation, if anyone ever asks if we have a recommendation on a photographer we tell them Courtney Page with Boulder Creek Photography!!!
-Rachel + Nathan
Courtney is an amazing photographer and is so fun to work with! She did our engagement and wedding pictures. The day of the wedding she showed up early and kept the entire day on time. She went above and beyond her duties as a photographer, and even stepped in when we couldn't pin the boutonnieres on the guys! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, and will use her for all my future needs.
