About Twig & Olive Photography
Wedding and Portrait Photographers Who Tell Your Story
Twig & Olive Photography are wedding and portrait photographers known for their storytelling approach, authentic imagery, and adventurous spirit. Founded by spouses Doug and Courtney, we create immersive photography experiences that feel natural, effortless, and emotion-filled.
Photography should capture not just how a moment looks but also how it feels. We approach every session with the goal of crafting meaningful, timeless images that reflect your unique story.
Doug [Owner, Photographer, Educator]
Doug is the energetic, meticulous counterpart to Courtney’s quiet confidence at Twig & Olive. While he’s more boisterous, he excels at taking his wife’s creative ideas and helping them evolve into something even more remarkable. A natural teacher with degrees in science and education, Doug has a knack for making complex things seem simple. He’s an avid gamer, though his kids have long since surpassed him in skill—a fact he admits with a grin. Blunt at times, Doug’s heart and mind are always fully invested in his work, bringing a unique energy and precision to every project. His curiosity and commitment to growth drive him to continually learn, teach, and inspire those around him.
Courtney [Owner, Photographer, Editor]
Courtney is the quiet yet confident heart of Twig & Olive. She combines her background as a labor and delivery nurse with her love for storytelling. A devoted mother of four and a fan of epic fantasy, she brings both skill and imagination to her work, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for clients. Known for her kindness, warmth, and unassuming strength, Courtney’s calm presence allows authentic, heartfelt moments to shine in every session, making each one a truly personal experience filled with genuine care and connection. Additionally, she has an endearingly playful side, especially when it comes to time on a beach.
Maddi [Brand Manager]
Maddi, the Brand Manager for Twig & Olive, brings a unique perspective to the team with her background in industrial and product design. Her expertise in empathy and problem-solving shapes how she approaches every project, ensuring thoughtful and creative solutions. Though she’s no longer designing furniture, Maddi has seamlessly translated her design skills into the world of brand strategy and visual storytelling. With a knack for balancing multiple roles, she thrives on new challenges and is always eager to take the next step in shaping the brand’s journey. Maddi’s combination of precision, creativity, and excitement for the future makes her an essential part of the Twig & Olive team.
