Hi, I’m Chelsey—wedding photographer, storyteller, and hopeless romantic at heart.

I believe your wedding day isn’t just an event—it’s a sacred beginning. A collision of legacy and new life. A story unfolding in real time. My passion is capturing those in-between moments: the shaky hands, the tears held back (or not), the laughter echoing from the dance floor, and the quiet exhale once you realize—you’re finally home in each other.

With a cinematic, emotive style, I approach every wedding with intention and reverence. I’m not here to stage your story—I’m here to witness it and preserve it honestly, artfully, and with deep care.

When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m living my own—married to my best friend and raising three beautiful little ones. Faith and family are at the heart of everything I do, and they shape the way I see beauty in others: unpolished, genuine, full of meaning.

If you’re looking for a photographer with several years of experience shooting weddings, who will hold your day with as much care as you do—someone who sees the holy ground beneath your feet as you say your vows—I’d be honored to tell your love story.
