You’ve never planned a wedding before so you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for — but you definitely don’t want the same wedding photographer horror story your cousin has.
You think you’re not photogenic and usually feel awkward in front of the camera — or maybe worse, your fiancé HATES having his photo taken.
tired of scrolling
through pinterest, instagram, and other wedding planning sites to find a photographer?
you have just this one day that will fly by in the blink of an eye
(it's cliché but it's true)
You’re looking for someone who can capture authenticity, someone who will create a unique experience but will also guide you through everything you need to do.
You’ve got a swarm of questions on your mind as you try to fall asleep at night:
-what to wear for your engagement session
-whether you really need a second photographer
-the amount of coverage time needed
-how to plan time for photos if you don’t want a first look
-how to know who to include in family photos and creating a list so you don't forget anyone
the only thing that will remain are the photos
-an engagement session, which is the key to getting to know each other and the key to getting comfy in front of my camera (I swear you won’t even know I’m there by the end and Mr.-Hates-Having-His-Photo-Taken might even enjoy it)
-wedding day coverage, from getting ready to final sparkler send-off
-a customized photography timeline to ensure we capture every beautiful moment as it unfolds
-an online wedding gallery and images on a USB with high-resolution and social-media sized images
-options to order prints and a customized heirloom album
-your wedding photos within 6-8 weeks (I know it’s so hard to wait!)
In an era of too many trendy filters, Pinterest overload, and manufactured moments, the last thing you need is a rogue photographer who doesn’t care all that much about making sure you feel like you or doesn’t give you your images until six months later.
That’s enough to make your veil-donning head spin! Pour yourself a glass of wine (and one for me, too!), take a deep breath, and know I’ve got you covered.
-photography tips & tricks including a “what to wear” guide for your engagement session and a sample family shot list
-a print release so you can print wherever, whenever
-you won’t wait forever to hear back from me (usually 24 hours unless I’m in a remote location with limited internet access);
-full access to me for help & expertise
-options to add additional hours, a bridal session, a boudoir session, rehearsal dinner coverage or whatever else your beautiful heart desires!

kind words from
"Chelsea, we just need to thank you so so so much!! It was an absolutely crazy day but the best day ever and I'm so glad we had you! Thank you sooo much for all your work, time, patience, expertise, advice and just being there. We feel so blessed! Thank you thank you thank you again!"

investment
Of all the services and items you purchase for your wedding, the photography is truly an investment. It’s not just about what you’ll change your Facebook profile picture to when you get home from your honeymoon; It’s about the story you tell that will be passed down to your children and your grandchildren.
Wedding collections begin at $3800 with customizable options available. I travel out-of-state frequently for weddings and if your wedding is going to include a passport, sign me up! Those rates will vary depending on season, location, and availability.
Because of the high level of customized service I offer to each of my couples, I take on no more than 20 weddings per year. I'm currently booking fall 2018 and 2019 brides.
