“Chelsea is a talented photographer with an extraordinary eye and the ability to make her clients comfortable and relaxed. She captures imagery for businesses and brands that tells stories and evokes emotion - you feel like you’re in the restaurant eating the meal, or wearing the necklace, or experiencing the hotel room. She’s professional and poised, pays attention to details, respectful of her clients’ time and needs, and timely when it comes to shooting, editing, and sharing imagery. It was an honor to work with her for six months on social media brand photography for multiple businesses. Our clients were always thrilled with her work and felt that she captured their businesses with incredible thought and intention.”

“Chelsea Lane is a fantastic photographer who made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture the look and feel of my brand with ease. She quickly turned around the photos, and gave me plenty of previews to whet my appetite. Our 2 hour shoot resulted in a wide variety of styles and options that immediately upgraded my website's presentation. I cannot wait to work with her again!”

“I was referred to Chelsea by a friend for photographs for my new small business. Chelsea responded to me quickly and answered all of my questions. She was flexible with my funky work schedule and was open and excited about my vision of having the photos taken at my home. I've found that having my photo taken can feel really awkward, especially if I don't know the photographer, but as soon as I met Chelsea, I felt so much better. She was laid-back and easy to work with. She had lots of ideas for staging photos and gave clear directions so the photos would turn out exactly how I wanted them to. I am completely in love with the photos and have received so many compliments about them. I highly recommend working with Chelsea--she has a passion for small businesses and is an incredibly lovely person to work with.”

“I could not ask for anything more. Chelsea was instantly able to understand our brand, and captured stunning images of our food, drinks and space. She is incredibly organized and professional but at the same time lots of fun to work with. Couldn’t ask for anything more!”

— Charlie Hodge, Sovereign Remedies

“Working with Chelsea far exceeded our expectations! From our initial meeting to the day of the wedding, Chelsea's enthusiasm, calming energy, and confidence were contagious, and we knew we were in good hands the entire time. I cannot imagine more perfect images to capture such a magical moment in our lives.
I did not want the wedding pictures to feel stuffy, too traditional, and too formal. I was also concerned about having someone that I didn't know take candid pictures. However, I felt instantly at ease with Chelsea and trusted her judgment. The pictures are lovely. They strike the perfect balance between the tradition of a wedding, modernity, and drama.
It was great to see the pictures of all the details (the flowers, rings, place settings, etc) because, as the bride, on the day of, I didn't get to fully appreciate all of those details given everything that was on my plate. My favorites though were the pictures of me and my husband after the ceremony. The love practically jumps off the pictures.
The pictures are beautiful and I'm so proud of them. Our happiness and love radiate through them, and Chelsea captured the magic of the evening perfectly.”

“From the moment I started following Chelsea's work on Instagram, I knew she would be the perfect match for my future wedding pictures. She has such a distinct and gorgeous photography style, where I had no concerns in what she would capture.

Planning a mountain elopement in less than 30 days was a bit stressful, I cannot thank her enough for coming thru on such short notice and responding quickly to every question and concern I had. Chelsea is very fairly priced compared to the other local photographers I looked into, personable, patient and very easy going, which made Rick and I feel extremely comfortable despite our nerves beforehand. The moments she captured were exactly what I asked for, whimsical, woodsy and ultimately just perfect, leaving it almost impossible to pick our favorites. From the candid shots, the classic poses and her own unique visions, She gave us a great mix to choose from.

​Everyone we have shown pictures to says its the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen, and I may be a bit biased but I couldn't agree more. We loved our experience with Chelsea and cant thank her enough for putting all our visions to life.”

— Kelsey & Rick

“I'm so happy we found you! When we got home, my local camera shop was running a special so your portrait of our family hangs in my living room now. It makes me smile as I imagine when I'm old and dying, the stage of life my kids are in now is one of the things we'll most remember. And you captured them perfect!”

— Nicholas Livers

“When we first started to inquire about photographers for our engagement shoot Chelsea's work stood out the most. We felt her style was what we were looking for. Chelsea was able to capture our love and emotions for one another in each photograph. She was quite personable which made the experience less stressful, and much more enjoyable.

We gave her an idea of what type of location we were looking for and with in a couple of days she found us the perfect spot. Not only was it the perfect location it was true to our home, and true to our roots. When we arrived for our photo shoot Chelsea had several locations planned out for different shots. It was nice to see how much direction she had and how easy it came to her. Chelsea made it fun and easy to get into "character" for each shot.

One of the photos we were hesitant about had us laying in the grass next to a row of flowers. After seeing the final product it's now one of our favorite photos of us to this day! We were surprised how many different photos were in the final product. They were all so amazing that it made it difficult for us to later choose which ones were going to be used for our wedding invitations.

In the end, we chose three different photos for our invitations. We were so pleased with our engagement photos that we asked Chelsea to shoot our wedding. We recommend to any couple that would like a caring, fun, professional photographer to please contact Chelsea Bolhoeffer. We can not express enough how wonderful our experience was working with her, as well as how excited we were when we saw the final images.”

“I just got a moment to look at these! You did such an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the photos! I love that you were able to capture some candids during the reception. That day was such a blur so I'm glad you were able to capture it. Also, that one photo of us kissing with the chandeliers is officially my favorite photo ever. Thanks so much for everything! You were the perfect person to capture our day!”

— Meredith

“We couldn’t have been more grateful to have such a calm and peaceful person with us on our wedding day. Even our guests commented about how easy she was to work with! From the moment we first met her, we knew we were in great hands with Chelsea, and our pictures prove it. Our event was wonderful, but also a bit chaotic, and I love that the photos captured not only the sweet moments of the day, but also the crazy and funny times that we will always look back on laughing.
Leading up to the wedding, Chelsea was also so helpful in putting together a realistic timeline and photo list. Since we had never done this before, we really appreciated being able to rely on her to not only be there to take pictures on the day of, but also consult with us to come up with a stress-free plan beforehand. And her plan worked! We were able to get all of the photos we wanted, while still enjoying some quiet time with each other after the ceremony, which was very important to us.
Her photos speak for themselves (they’re all GORGEOUS), but if you are considering hiring Chelsea as your wedding photographer, I would encourage you to take note of her impeccable eye for detail. You spend months or years planning your event, and then on wedding day, you barely have time to enjoy or notice the tiny details that you poured so much of your energy into. That’s what sets Chelsea apart, in my opinion. The small detail pictures are among my favorites because it reminds me that all of the planning and hard work we put into our event were completely worth it. I would work with Chelsea again and again and again. Thank you for everything, Chelsea!”
