Experience
You don’t need to know how to pose, style or direct. I’ll guide the entire process in a way that feels natural and unforced.
I can’t wait to work together!
I won’t be stepping in to adjust every angle or out of place hair because it disrupts your experience. Instead, I let the day unfold naturally and step in to guide only as needed! I firmly believe that weddings are not photo shoots.
If you’re more private than performative, you’re my kind of couple. I’ll guide you gently and keep things natural so you can relax and be yourselves.
I create a laid back atmosphere so the session is fun! Less stress, more collaboration.
I won’t be simply showing up with my camera to take pretty photos. I take the time to understand your unique brand, offer tailored advice and create a custom shot list just for you.
“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
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
We’ll collaborate on a plan that fits your photo needs. I’ll guide you through details like a timeline, prep and trusted vendor recommendations so everything feels smooth and stress-free.
For clients who want more in-depth help shaping their brand photo shoot, I also offer optional planning sessions where we can review your space, wardrobe and visual direction together.
3. Wedding or Photo Session Day
Every time I pick up the camera, it looks a little different as a wedding day carries a unique rhythm from a brand session. But my approach remains relaxed, intuitive and very collaborative. I keep things comfortable and light so you can be yourself while I focus on capturing honest, beautiful moments!
4. Detailed Editing
Every photo is edited individually by me. My goal is for the photos to look like they were never edited at all! You’ll receive a few sneak peeks within the first week, and your full online gallery is delivered within roughly 4 weeks.
5. Delivery & Prints
Your gallery is delivered online with high-resolution downloads, full print rights and built-in print ordering options. Wedding couples will also receive a flash drive so your once-in-a-lifetime photos are already backed up twice for you.
Investment
Wedding coverage begins at $1,400 for elopements.
Brand, lifestyle and interiors sessions start at $850, depending on scope of project and usage.
