AMAZING-- So genuine!

We LOVED working with Chelsea on a styled editorial session in Chattanooga, Tennessee. She truly made our vision come to life and exceeded all expectations. Chelsea is an amazing creative and an even better human. We are so thankful to have gotten to partner with her on this project!

Perfect Elopement thanks to Chelsea!

Chelsea was amazing in her work, organization, professionalism, and art from start to finish. Her attention to detail is spectacular and she truly made the entire experience more meaningful than I could have imagined. From the special day-of-elopement gift to the photo reveal party that included our favorite mimosas and sweets, every detail was thoughtful and added to the ongoing celebration of our elopement. The photos are STUNNING! Chelsea shot a variety of styles and mediums including film and polaroid in addition to digital which made our portfolio exquisitely a work of art. Chelsea understands what is important about eloping...celebrating love...and it was so special to have her capture our true selves in photographs. Besides the joy of marrying my best friend, Chelsea's photographs will be the most cherished part of our marriage day.

Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer

Hi Loves!

I am Chelsea, a mother to two boys and military spouse. I have spent the past 12 years traveling across the U.S. and we are finally getting ready to settle back into our Tennessee home.

Together with my husband Matthew, we photograph elopements and intimate moments between couples. Using both digital and 35mm film to portray genuine and candid memories.

When I'm not with camera in hand, you can find me painting or dancing to vinyls in our kitchen.
