My name is Courtney Whittaker. My journey with photography started about 7 years ago when I purchased my first DSLR camera. But it was one part of my journey to photography as I studied art from high school to Technikon where my passion for colour, light, composition and texture was harnessed. Besides having a love for the arts I enjoy meeting and interacting with people all the time. I enjoy creating memories for others to enjoy years later. This is my story
Based in The Eastern Cape Port Elizabeth I offer a wide range of photography genres. From shooting commercial for Spar, Shoprite Checkers, Alpha Nutrition, The Brewhaha Brewery and some local brands such as Krulkop Society, Cape Native Clothing, Paige My Mind Clothing and The Hip Shop clothing brands. I also specialise in wedding photography having photographed weddings outside of Port Elizabeth such as Cape Town, Graaf Rienett, Cradock and Kirkwood to name a few.

We decided we would get married on the 23rd of March and were in need of a photographer when we came across COURTNEY.. We've seen a lot of his work and contacted him straight away.. and it was all worth it.. His attention to detail and quality of work is definitely the best we've seen.. not only was he a photographer for our wedding but he was like family.. He fits right in and makes everyone feel extremely comfortable and captures the moments with ease.. We definitely would recommend him for any shoot you require.. His work is worth every penny.. what an amazing experience we had with him he creates a friendship not just a service.
