About

With 11 years of experience, I capture moments in a way that brings you right back to that place & time. I photograph your wedding true to how it was experienced it with an artful touch. I love to be a fly on the wall capturing candids so you can look back on the memories that are uniquely yours.

I won’t be stepping in to adjust every angle or out of place hair because it disrupts your experience. I want you to enjoy your wedding day so I won't be turning it into a photo shoot. Instead, I let the day unfold naturally and direct only during group photos and couple portraits! I aim for an understated editing style where the location, the moment and the people shine most.

tl;dr? Natural and unfussy photos for Asheville weddings and elopements. Charm > perfection. Real > posed.

Positive vibes and STUNNING photos

Wow! We could not be happier after working with Chelsea and having her capture our wedding. We crossed paths by recommendation from our wedding planner (Plain With Sprinkles) and we were instant fans of her work. We immediately were drawn to her raw, natural style. Her images looked real, authentic and true, not overly edited or altered and it was exactly what we wanted for our photos.

Upon meeting her for the first time via video chat we felt comforted by her easy vibe and genuine interest in getting to know us. The planning process was super easy and she kept things light hearted and simple. And on wedding day she was all smiles, but even more so, all business. We were so impressed by her ability to handle our (at times) over bearing, or untimely family members with poise and patience, keep us on schedule, all while enjoying every moment. We never felt awkward or forced into any poses, everything was natural and effortless. The photos turned out ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. We’re so happy. Can’t thank Chelsea enough for creating the vibe we hoped for, and for capturing our special day.

Best wedding photographer EVER

Chelsea was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and I'm so glad we reached out to her. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and answered all of our initial questions. She was open to call with us since we were planning our wedding remotely, and even over zoom, it was clear she has a warm and inviting personality that would make us feel comfortable on our wedding day. My wife and I are both awkward in front of a camera so it was very important to us to find a photographer who would allow us to be natural with one another and not push for lots of posed pictures. Half the night we didn't even notice she was there (which was a good thing to us) but when we got our photos back, she captured literally every single moment. She was so professional and kept our whole wedding party on schedule. She also was very flexible with our picture schedule because I had some things change due to different family dynamics. Chelsea is incredibly "go with the flow" and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Taking pictures with her was fun and we enjoyed every minute. We're eternally grateful to her for capturing our day so we have memories to last us forever. If you're looking for someone who will kind of take a step back and capture the wedding for the beauty and joy that it is, Chelsea is your photographer. She answered every email in a timely manner, she sent us a really helpful wedding day guide with recommendations for other vendors as well as tips and tricks for any type of picture we might want, and she also sent us our sneak peak shortly after our wedding. Everything Chelsea does it thoughtful- from sending us a celebratory care package when we booked her, to the USB with our photos on it accompanied by hand selected printed photos she sent along with it. She really made us feel celebrated and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph our day! Thank you Chelsea!!

Chelsea is incredible

Chelsea is an incredibly talented photographer, and I feel fortunate to have worked with her for both my engagement and wedding photos. Her eye for a beautiful photo is evident throughout her portfolio, but her professionalism, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and ability to make photos (and the subjects in them) feel completely natural shine as you work with her. I was nervous initially about being in front of the camera on the biggest day of my life, but the nerves melted away when I met Chelsea for the first time. She made my husband and me completely comfortable. We felt like we could easily be ourselves around her, and the photos reflect that. Although I looked forward to albums of photos, she understood that I did not want our wedding to feel like we were participating in a photoshoot. Her ability to capture a moment as it unfolds is everything - I am blown away by the quality of the candids that really captured the spirit of the day. I am so happy to have these photos that show how my husband and I feel about each other and take us back to the moments when she snapped them. She is prepared, knowledgeable, and a delight to be around. Her personality made the hours spent together easy, and we missed her when our time was up. I would strongly suggest doing your engagement photos and wedding photos with her - the collection is unbelievable. Chelsea is an excellent communicator who responded to every email and my many questions. She was involved in the most helpful way throughout our planning. She has gone above and beyond throughout our time with her - from thoughtful mail, incredible quality details, her wedding guides, and even her willingness to walk through the venue with us. Her experience truly put everyone involved with my wedding at ease. She is a leader whom I never needed to worry about. She works very hard, as evidenced by the quantity and quality of the photos and their edits. I would recommend her to anyone for timeless photographs and a gently guided, but relaxed, wedding day or engagement photoshoot. I am so proud to have worked with her - she was a huge contributing factor to our perfect day and this special season of life.

The BEST Wedding Photographer

Chelsea is an absolutely amazing photographer! I found Chelsea online while planning my wedding in Asheville and she was always very easy to communicate with. She is extremely organized and met with us prior to booking to ensure we were a good match. She happily attended a pre-wedding meeting at the venue to discuss the ceremony plans which made planning a lot easier!

Our wedding date had to be moved due to Hurricane Helene, she was very supportive and accommodated our wedding date being changed with absolutely zero issues.

On the day of the wedding Chelsea had such a calming presence throughout the day. I really appreciated her breathing technique to encourage us (and our guests) to look more comfortable throughout the photo process. Throughout our wedding day it was very obvious she is a professional with a lot of experience.

We recently got our photos back, and the quality of the photos are amazing! She really captured the many small details and moments of the day. I highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a photographer!

Chelsea is simply the best!

We are so lucky to have been able to work with Chelsea! We knew we’d love the photos based on her style and previous work, but we also loved her approach to wedding photography itself. Her preference for candid and real moments really aligned with how we wanted to feel throughout our wedding day – present and authentic. She helped to facilitate that for us, and now we have photos that help us relive the feelings of our favorite day. We will cherish them forever – thank you Chelsea!!!

A Highlight to Our Wedding Day

Chelsea was SO amazing to work with! She was professional and responsive on the lead up to the wedding-we were coming from out of town for our ceremony so this was key. Then, on the day of she helped organize and direct to make everything so perfect-she was truly a big part of our wedding day going smoothly. The photos she captured truly encompassed everything we aimed to capture from the day-you can tell she takes pride in her work. We cannot recommend Chelsea enough to anyone looking for a photographer in Western NC!

We stumbled across Chelsea's work when searching for a caterer and are so glad we did! We knew immediately that her style was exactly how we wanted to capture our wedding day. She was professional, so easy to work with, and we are so happy with how our wedding pictures turned out! Would definitely recommend anyone in the Asheville and surrounding areas consider working with her!

Working with Chelsea is a dream!

Chelsea was our wedding photographer and she did a phenomenal job! She has such a fun and calming presence which helped us feel comfortable and enjoy ourselves, and she was awesome at blending in while capturing all the important moments. Leading up to the wedding day, Chelsea was really easy to talk to and helped guide us in creating a timeline and figuring out what was important to us. She was able to get our photos back to us quickly and even sent us a few prints which was such a nice gesture. All of the photos turned out amazing!!! Working with Chelsea was such a great experience and we will cherish the beautiful moments she captured forever. Thank you Chelsea!!

Go with Chelsea!

Chelsea was fantastic and captured our day perfectly! She was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and really helped with the day of timeline.
