Experience
I work with couples and small businesses, including artists and designers, here in Asheville, North Carolina.
I'll guide you when it helps and step back when it doesn't. That balance is where my favorite photos live!
“Her ideas, her skills, her amazing talent helped create such a wonderful wedding. Our pictures are better than we could have ever imagined. She took what she knew our aesthetics were and created this magical world. My wife and I have enjoyed every moment working with Chelsea. If you are looking for a photographer for any reason - Chelsea is the one!” -Cynthia Janda
Working together
1. Get in Touch
Reach out with your date and a few details about your plans or project. I’ll share availability, package options and a bit about what working together looks like.
We’ll set up a call to get acquainted, and once you’re ready, a signed agreement and 50% retainer secure your date on my calendar.
2. Align & Plan
Whether you're planning a wedding or a brand session, I'll help you figure out what matters most and build the photos around that.
Behind the scenes, I'm highly organized and proactive. You'll always know what comes next and I’ll guide you through details so everything feels smooth and stress-free.
For clients who want more in-depth help shaping their brand photos, I also offer optional planning sessions where we can review your space, wardrobe and visual direction together.
3. Wedding or Photo Session Day
Every project comes with its own goals and rhythm. A wedding day unfolds differently than a brand or interiors session.
My approach remains prepared, intuitive and collaborative. We'll make a plan, but we'll also leave room for play and the unexpected! I believe the strongest photographs come from a balance of both.
4. Detailed Editing
Every photo is edited individually by me. My editing style is understated and natural so the location, the people and the moment remain the focus. In fact, I love a photo that doesn’t feel edited at all!
5. Delivery & Prints
You’ll receive a few previews within the first week, and your full online gallery is delivered within roughly 4 weeks.
Your gallery is delivered online with high-resolution downloads, full print rights and ordering options.
Wedding couples will also receive a small drive so your once-in-a-lifetime photos are already backed up twice for you.
Investment:
Wedding coverage begins at $3,000 and $1,500 for elopements.
Brand, lifestyle and interiors sessions start at $900, depending on scope of project and usage.
“What we got for her services was beyond my wildest dreams. She had such an artistic eye for the authenticity and the joy of our day - so the photos not only looked beautiful but you can truly see the happiness and truth of our event.”
