Amazing work!

Chala was perfect for our small ceremony. Affordable but so helpful and the pictures turned out beautiful. Highly recommended. 🙂

Memorable photos, friendly, and affordable.

We are so grateful Chela was our wedding photographer, and would highly recommend her services! We needed a photographer for 2.5 hours to capture our small 12 person ceremony and cocktail hour this past November. Her pricing is very fair and affordable. The wedding photos were truly beautiful, personable, and memorable. Chela really had an eye for capturing in the moment photos, and the little details that as a bride you may not remember during your big day, but the photos serve as a lovely reminder. The photos bring us so much joy, and truly takes us back to the wedding day. Chela also uploads your photos to a dropbox which makes it easy to view and print photos. Chela is a very friendly, nice, and professional person.

Small Wedding

We used Chelsea at a small wedding ceremony in Asheville recently. Chelsea was able to fit within our budget requirements and provided beautiful Photos of the event that we will cherish forever.

Great Photo

I was in desperate need for a photographer a month before our wedding and reached out to Chela through Wedding Wire. She responded quickly with a package that fit our needs/price range and answered all of my questions and concerns.

On the wedding day she was prompt, professional, and made great use of the time that we were paying for. she made us feel extremely comfortable and everyone at our wedding has complimented her!

We have received our photo preview and the pictures so far are wonderful. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Thank you so much Chela for making our memories of our big day special!

Chela was amazing! I really could not have asked for anything more. She is so sweet and so helpful with getting such amazing pics. Chela was so thoughtful with how she made the flower girls and ring bearer feel comfortable. She really worked so hard to make our day special and I just loved chatting with her throughout the day. I really can’t say enough about how awesome she was!

Disappointed

I write this review with a very heavy heart because several key moments were not captured and I can never get that day back. This was our only wedding day and our first time dealing with a professional photographer. We asked detailed questions about what to expect and on our big day I felt like we had to direct her. I have NO photos of me looking at my groom as I was walking down the aisle. No photos with our parents. No photos with our children. We were told that certain photos would be taken when the light changed. We were both so carried away we didn't realize that these images were not captured. I am absolutely heart broken. The quality of the photos we did receive were subpar. Honestly the photos taken by our guests were better quality. We spent our hard earned money and have nothing to show for it. Chela did offer a small refund for our getting ready photos that she did not take but I feel like if your customers are not satisfied they should not be charged. Chela was very kind however the job she was hired to do was not done. I wish we could go back to that day to capture those precious moments. Hire a friend with an iphone instead.
