About

Hey there! I'm a wedding photographer based in Ann Arbor, but my lens knows no bounds—I’ve traveled all over Michigan, and beyond to capture love stories wherever they unfold. My mission? To document those incredible in-between, unplanned moments that make your wedding day unforgettable, as well as the heirloom images that your grandma will want to frame.

But here's the thing: I want you to feel at ease, and to have a blast while we're working together. This day is about you and your partner after all. My favorite weddings? They're the ones where laughter fills the air, and where connection shines through in every shot. At the end of the day, it's about more than just pictures—it's about preserving the joy, the warmth, and the love of your celebration for years to come.

Let's team up and create memories that will give you #allthefeels even years down the road.

Capturing love and life since 2007.

Hire Chelsea!! You will not regret it!

We started working with Chelsea back in 2019, when we were planning for our original April 2020 date. She loves to travel and was more than happy to fly out to Washington, DC (where we were living) for our engagement shoot. Chelsea spent the day scouting locations in historic Old Town Alexandria for us, and we had the best time shooting in cobblestone alleys, on the stoops of row houses, and in a gazebo by the docks. Chelsea made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and the photos were incredible, so we knew we were in great hands for our wedding.

Chelsea stuck by us through not one, not two, but three postponements. Each time, she was so gracious and professional and made the difficult decision to change our date so easy to implement. She was instrumental in helping us prepare for the big day, helping us build our timeline and providing tons of valuable advice from her many years of experience. On the day of, she and her assistant Daighna kept us on a tight schedule while also being mindful of our need for breaks as we sweltered in a non air conditioned greenhouse on an 80 degree day. Within a few days of the wedding, she provided over a hundred "sneak peeks", which are all gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest!! I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone - 10/10!!

Beautiful photographs

Working with Chelsea has been an incredible experience. We started our wedding planning journey in 2019 and had a super fun engagement photo session with her. Covid of course threw a curveball in our 2020 wedding plans and throughout the process of rescheduling to July 2021, Chelsea was professional and understanding. In the months leading up to our wedding she offered several tips and created a schedule with us to be sure we got all of the photographs we wanted on our wedding day - keeping everything extremely organized. On the day of our wedding she knew exactly where in Ann Arbor to have our photos taken and made everything light-hearted and fun. Her assistant Daighna was incredible as well. Chelsea's photos are absolutely beautiful and organic. We cannot wait to see how she captured our day and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!

Amazing Experience

I just got my photos back from Chelsea, and my god they are stunning. I could not have asked for better photos or a better experience. Chelsea was reachable, professional, approachable, and she is so very talented. She made me feel at ease on the big day and was able to direct everyone perfectly. She was also available throughout the wedding planning process to answer any inane questions I had. I cannot recommend Chelsea enough, you can't go wrong with her!
