With a focus on artistic vision, I aim to craft a relaxed and seamless experience that allows you to fully connect and celebrate.
Artistic black and white portrait of a couple in an intimate moment.
I know that wedding days and elopements can feel overwhelming with all the excitement, which is why I’m there with you throughout the entire journey. When you receive your photos, I want them to instantly transport you back to the emotions of that moment. Your final gallery will tell your story visually, capturing every detail, portrait, candid moment, and everything in between.

Whether your style is lighthearted and fun, emotional and intimate, bold and edgy, or a blend of all these, I’ve had the honor of witnessing a variety of relationships. My goal is to tailor every aspect of the experience— from the environment to the photos— to authentically represent you. You can count on me to creatively capture your most cherished moments, no matter the setting.

AMIEE & STETSON


“Chelsee captured the love and magic of our wedding better than I could have ever imagined! We are in awe of every shot she took and her talent. I am overwhelmed with the amount of beautiful pictures we have! Having her come along on our wedding trip to Cancun, Mexico was the best decision! Her vision, guidance, attention to detail and fun spirited personality made our photos easy to take and we had a blast! She found and used the most amazing backdrops and elements around our resort and wedding venue to elevate our photos. Finally, she didn’t miss a beat when capturing moments between us, and our friends and family members, leaving us with beautiful memories! ❤️“

“Chelsee is the best! I genuinely had no idea what to expect and Chelsee made us feel so comfortable. Chelsee had so many ideas for different locations on the property and the results are amazing! We couldn’t be happier and are hoping we will be able to book once we make wedding plans. Thank you!“

“Chelsee was absolutely amazing to work with! She always has a vision of what shots she wants to get and will do anything to get there and get the perfect moment/photo. She was thoughtful and considerate of our camera shy family and friends and ensured that they felt comfortable and nerve free on camera. We're so happy we got to work with Chelsee for our wedding day!.“
