I know there are many photographers you could choose from, and I am truly honored you're considering me.

Welcome! I'm so thrilled you're here!
The 2024/25 wedding pricing guide
The Wedding Experience begins right here – with communication and connection! It's important that I connect with you to ensure we're a great fit to work together, chat about the vision for your wedding, and more!
step 01: connect and chat
After your session is confirmed, your Wedding Experience officially begins! You will be invited to the exclusive online Wedding Lounge, where you will find educational resources – from engagement session tips to wedding planning advice, and more!
step 02: the lounge
An engagement session is included in most wedding collections. During this session, I will help you get comfortable in front of the camera, we will spend some time getting to know each other better, and of course – take photos that celebrate your love!
step 03: engagement Session
There are a lot of details that go into a wedding day, and I want to make sure I know about every single one. During this time, we will discuss all of these important details – from wedding day timelines to a must-have family shot list and more!
step 04: final planning
This day is all about you! You've put in the time and work to make it as unique as your love story so every single second of it should be enjoyed! Leave it to me to capture every emotion, moment, and detail so you can look back on this joyous day forever!
step 05: wedding day
Once I have collected your finished photos, I will place them inside my gallery portal and send you a direct link to your own photo gallery. From this portal, you can purchase and download your keepsake photos.
step 06: photo delivery
Photos weren't meant to be stored on your device. They should be admired in your home and bring warmth into your life. I offer prints and albums so you can cherish your favorite moments and memories forever.
step 07: order and cherish

Chelsea was a joy to work with! She was professional and timely in the planning process, flexible with arrangements the day of, and friendly to everyone in our family. She was directive with poses, which shows her experience. We loved the pictures she shared!

Chelsea was the perfect fit for our wedding experience from the very beginning. She communicated with us well throughout the whole process of planning our big day. Our engagement session was great and made us more excited for our wedding. Our pictures are incredible and we would not change a thing.
"She communicated with us well throughout the whole process"
- Courtney E.
We received a sneak peak of our photos on the same day that she took them on and just 2 weeks later received ALL of our photos on an online gallery. The quality of our photos are SO good. If you’re looking for light & airy, real & timeless photos - you need her! I can’t wait for our wedding photos now!
"The quality of our photos are SO good"
- Rylee S.
Her bubbly personality made our special day so perfect and I received so many compliments from our bridal party and guests on how great she made everyone feel. Her service is second to none. I received a large album of sneak peaks within 48 hours of our wedding and got all of our photos in the time frame she promised.

Chelsea was absolutely amazing! She captured our wedding day so beautifully. Throughout the wedding process, she was available to meet with us, answer questions, and toured our venue with us to talk about our vision. We cannot recommend her enough.

Yes! I sent out questionnaires and guides that help you plan your wedding day out. It's full of tips on how to make the most of your wedding photography experience and how to prepare for the BEST photos possible. We also have meetings to create your perfect photo timeline.
01. can you help us with timeline planning?
To reserve your date, I require a 30% of the total wedding package deposit if collection one through three is booked. Micro wedding collections require a 50% deposit. The remaining amount is due one month before your wedding date. Custom payment plans are available as well.
03. how do we reserve our wedding date with you?
Absolutely!!! Engagement sessions are a great way to get to know each other before your wedding day. I really enjoy creating a relationship with all of my clients and making sure you're 1000% comfortable with me and in front of the camera. Plus, it's perfect for your Save The Dates.
04. do we need an engagement session?
I sure do! The wedding community is like a giant friend group. I have wedding vendors I can recommend to you that I've worked with before and know they will freakin' kill it at your wedding. You get this amazing list after you book with me!
05. Do you have recommendations for other wedding vendors?
