making your greatest memories nostalgic
capturing all the little in between moments
Your wedding photos are what you’ll have left when the last slice of cake is devoured, the flowers are wilting, and Uncle Bob has finally stopped talking about his dance floor backflip. (Seriously, Bob, we get it.)
This isn’t just about snapping pretty pictures—it’s about freezing those messy, magical, once-in-a-lifetime moments so you can relive them over and over (and show your future grandkids how cool you were).

What to expect From start to finish
The girl behind the lens
(aka your new favorite third wheel)
Hi, I’m Chelsea — a deeply empathetic, sweet-treat-loving, film-obsessed wedding photographer based in sunny SoCal. I’m a big believer in cozy moments, belly laughs, and love that feels like your favorite movie. When I’m not documenting best friends wildly in love, you can find me gaming in my pj’s, sipping boba, or crying over emotional reality TV. My goal? To make you feel completely at home in front of the camera — so we can capture the real, raw, beautifully you kind of magic.
Sessions
Anywhere you go, I’ll follow — love is my favorite destination.
Whether you're saying I do on a windswept cliff, cozying up at a cabin in the woods, or running barefoot through a European villa, I’m there. I offer coverage for weddings, destination wedding weekends, micro weddings, elopements, couples sessions, proposals, and engagements — all with travel included for destination love stories. Big or small, every session is approached with care, intention, and a whole lotta heart. If you're madly in love with your best friend and planning something unforgettable, I'm your girl.
Add-Ons
Let’s add a little magic (and maybe a second set of hands).
Want to take things to the next level? Add 35mm film to your package for that dreamy, nostalgic magic (yes, the kind that looks like it came from your parents’ photo albums but cooler). Bringing in a second photographer for destination coverage or adding extra time for those slower, meaningful moments? Totally doable. We’ll build something that fits your vision and gives you room to breathe.
Vibes
Good vibes only — and I bring them in bulk.
You bring the love, I’ll bring the good vibes. Always. Think: emotional support with a camera. I’ll guide you when needed, disappear into the background when you’re in your moment, and be your loudest cheerleader the whole way through. Every step of this experience is meant to feel easy, comfortable, and genuinely fun. Because you deserve to feel fully yourself while making the best memories of your life.

ALWAYS DOWN FOR AN ADVENTURE

For me, there’s nothing better than packing up and heading out on an adventure to capture your love in some epic location. Whether you’re saying “I do” in the mountains, on a remote beach, or in a bustling foreign city, I’m all in. I love the freedom of destination weddings and adventure elopements—no rules, just the two of you and the world as your backdrop.

Keepsakes
01. WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH YOU?
Think: cozy, calm, emotionally grounded… with lots of laughter and maybe a few happy tears. I’m here to make you feel completely at ease — like you can be 100% yourself. From the moment we connect, I’m not just your photographer — I’m your biggest cheerleader, your timeline helper, your gentle guide when things feel overwhelming, and your quiet observer when the real magic unfolds. I bring direction when you need it, space when you don’t, and a whole lot of empathy and intention every step of the way. By the end of it all, we’re not just working together — we’re real friends, and you’ll probably catch me tearing up during your vows or vibing on the dance floor with your favorite people.
Absolutely! I offer a few sweet add-ons so you can fully customize your experience based on what matters most to you. Want to add that nostalgic 35mm film magic? Need an extra day for your welcome dinner or adventure session? Want to walk away with tangible keepsakes like an heirloom album or USB drive? I’ve got you covered. Your love story deserves to be told your way, and I’m here to help you build something that feels totally you.
02. DO YOU OFFER ANY ADD-ONS?
Anywhere your love takes you — seriously. I photograph weddings across the U.S. and internationally, and I’m always down to pack my bags for a celebration in a stunning, meaningful place. Whether you’re dreaming of a coastal California elopement, a weekend in the mountains, or a villa wedding in Europe, I’ll meet you there with camera in hand and snacks in my carry-on. Travel is included in all of my destination packages, so it’s one less thing you have to worry about while planning your dream day.
03. WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL TO?
Good news — travel fees are already included in all of my destination wedding packages! No surprise costs, no complicated math. Once you book, I’ll handle all my own flights, lodging, and transportation so you don’t have to stress a thing. For local weddings or sessions outside of the Los Angeles area, a small travel fee may apply — but I’ll always let you know up front before anything is booked.
04. HOW DO YOUR TRAVEL FEES WORK?
Because your wedding isn’t just one day — it’s a whole experience. When you bring your favorite people to a beautiful destination, the magic happens over welcome dinners, beach hangs, sunset toasts, and those quiet little moments in between. Multi-day coverage lets me document the full story — not just the ceremony, but the connection, the laughter, and the once-in-a-lifetime feeling of being there together. These photos become your time capsule, and I promise… it’s so worth it.
05. Why would I need more than 1 day of coverage for my destination wedding?
If you're planning a destination wedding with a larger guest count, multiple locations, or just want extra coverage of all the moments happening at once — a second photographer is a huge win. While I’m focused on capturing your vows, a second set of eyes might be documenting your guests’ reactions, cocktail hour candids, or those behind-the-scenes gems you didn’t even know were happening. It adds depth to your gallery and gives us the ability to tell the full story from every angle.
06. SHOULD WE HIRE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OUR DESTINATION WEDDING?
Sneak peeks are sent within 24–72 hours — because I know you’re dying to see a glimpse (and I’m probably just as excited to share them). Full galleries for couples sessions are delivered within 6–8 weeks, and weddings or elopements take about 8–12 weeks depending on the season. I always aim to deliver as quickly as I can, but I also believe in giving each gallery the time, attention, and emotional energy it deserves — and a little grace for myself in the busy months. Trust that it’s worth the wait. ✨
07. WHAT IS YOUR EDITING TURN AROUND TIME?
Very. Like… “text me anytime” involved. Once you book, I’m in your corner from day one — helping with timelines, giving honest advice, hyping you up when you’re overwhelmed, and making sure every piece of the puzzle feels right for you. I’m not just showing up with a camera on the wedding day — I’m here to support your vision, be your calm in the chaos, and make sure you feel fully seen and taken care of throughout the entire journey.
08. HOW INVOLVED ARE YOU BETWEEN BOOKING & THE WEDDING DAY?
I don’t run traditional discounts, but I do believe in the magic of the right fit — when you know, you know. I pour my whole heart into every story I document, and I want you to feel excited, connected, and totally confident that I’m your person. That said… I am always dreaming of new places to shoot! So if you’re the first couple to book me in one of my bucket list destinations, you’ll get $1,000 off — no strings, just a thank-you for helping me bring the dream to life.
Current dream destinations: Alaska, Colorado, Washington, Italy, Scotland, Iceland, Mexico, Canada, Switzerland, Ireland, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, Caribbean Islands, Costa Rica, Bali, Yosemite, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Glacier National Park.

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! ❤️
"Our pictures were beautiful and she captures emotions and moments very well"
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. :)
