Golden light, big love, and photos that feel like you.
captured with heart & a whole lotta fun
You just found your wedding photographer—and not just any photographer, but one who’s all about documenting your love in the most fun, candid, and joy-filled way possible. I’m here for the belly laughs, the teary-eyed vows, the wild dance floor moves, and the “holy sh*t, we just got married” moments.
Based in sunny California (AKA the land of dreamy golden light and jaw-dropping views), I specialize in capturing love stories that feel like you. Whether you're running barefoot on a Malibu beach, saying "I do" under towering redwoods, or throwing the party of the century in the city, I’m ready to third-wheel in the best way possible.
You bring the love, I’ll bring the camera
together, we’ll make magic.
Your Hype Person, Storyteller & Built-In BFF
I'm a 28 year-old, born and raised in Southern California! I've been visually creative my entire life. I grew up with a camera in my hand, whether I was making music videos for fun with friends or photo documenting my family vacations. I graduated from San Diego State University with a BS Degree in Television, Film, and New Media, Theatre Arts, and International Studies. I landed a job in TV straight out of college, but learned as I went that it wasn't exactly what I wanted to spend my life doing as a career.
come from the best vibes
capturing your love story in all of its glory
Your wedding day isn’t just a day—it’s a whole vibe. It’s the happy tears, the "holy sh*t, we’re doing this" glances, the epic dance moves, and that feeling of time standing still when you finally say, “I do.” My job? To capture every moment, big and small, so you can relive the magic forever.
Engagements, anniversaries, just-because-we’re-obsessed-with-each-other sessions—whatever stage of love you’re in, I’m here to capture it. Think of this as a date night with a third wheel (but like, a really fun one who hypes you up and makes sure you look amazing).

The surprise, the emotion, the excitement! Your proposal is a moment you’ll always remember, and you can relive the memory again through the moments captured by your couple photographer.
Katherine & Matthew have such lovely energy and are so fun to be around! I was lucky enough to associate shoot both their engagement photos & wedding.
Chelsea did our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely loved her!! She is a sweetheart and makes you feel so comfortable. Our pictures were beautiful and she captures emotions and moments very well. We can look back at the pictures and literally remember that exact moment which is so special. Love you Chelsea! ❤️

My Fiance and I booked Chelsea for our engagement photos and we are SOOO in love with how they came out. Let me tell you, him and I were both very nervous for this session because we have never taken photos like this before and were worried about looking awkward. Thankfully, Chelsea made us feel comfortable and confident immediately, allowing us to step out of our comfort zone. This allowed her to capture our love so beautifully and we will cherish these photos forever. I picked Chelsea because of the beautiful movement photos she captures and I am happy that now we have those photos to look back on.

Chelsea is just a joy to work with. For most people, photo shoots can feel unnatural and awkward (I was certainly nervous and a little anxious leading up to it), but she really put us at ease, and my fiancé and I ended up having fun the entire time!
"She really put us at ease"
Chelsea shot our elopement in Malibu and when I say it couldn’t have been more perfect I mean IT COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT. She made a camera shy bride feel so comfortable and we are obsessed with our photos. Her direction, attitude, laughs, smile, warmth is infectious and made our special day even more special

I can’t recommend Chelsea highly enough. She was a blast to work with, and she made the session so comfortable with specific, easy, fun prompts. The pictures turned out so, so superb. I knew they’d be excellent from seeing her other work, but getting our photos back, they’re unreal.
"She was a blast to work with"
Chelsea and her photos are an absolute dream! She traveled to Portland, Maine for our two-day wedding weekend. The photos she was able to capture are unreal. She made us feel so comfortable and was able to totally encapsulate the happiness, joy and excitement of our wedding in her photos. Without her at our wedding, I wouldn't have appreciated the small moments and details as much. I knew she would be amazing, but she exceeded my already high expectations. If I could go back to the wedding planning process, I would choose Chelsea as our photographer every single time. Thank you for everything, Chelsea! We can't wait to have you at our future anniversary parties. :)
