About

I want to be more than just your photographer so let's be friends! I’ll help you feel at ease, make being in front of the camera fun, and provide you with a personal experience. That's how we'll create photos that are genuine, joyful, and reflect who you are as a couple. No stiff, awkward, forced photos here. I promise!

My job isn't complete when I put my camera down. I want to serve you. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by photos sitting on your computer, I’ll help you display your memories in heirloom albums, and wall galleries. Your photos deserve to be highlighted in a way that you and future generations can enjoy every day.

Nashville Proposal

Chelsey was amazing! She was very easy to work with for the planning process leading up to the proposal. She walked me through the process step by step and provided recommendations to make the proposal even better.

On the day of the proposal she communicated clearly and was able to capture the moment perfectly. She allowed me to just focus on proposing and to not worry about the logistics of the pictures. The photo shoot following the proposal was easy with Chelsey guiding us through different locations and poses.

She took amazing pictures and we could not be happier with the results. Highly recommend Chelsey to anyone that is looking for proposal pictures or just pictures in general!!

Beyond expectations

Chelsey went above and beyond with the planning process leading up to and the day of the proposal. I had chosen the Chicago Botanic Garden for the proposal and she walked me through what I would need in regards to permits. She had let me know that she was actually going to be in that area prior to that date and offered to walk through the gardens with me to figure out the perfect location to propose and I was more than happy to take her up on her offer. After much discussion, walking through, and bouncing ideas off each other, we figured out the best spot and I could not have been happier. Again, this was all before the actual proposal date!

During the proposal and photoshoot that followed, Chelsey was amazing with guiding my fiancée and me on how to pose and made us feel incredibly comfortable. We went to every pre determined location for posed photos and Chelsey did not hesitate when my fiancée had more location ideas.

I could not recommend Chelsey enough with her guidance and services throughout what could've been a very stressful process.

The Best Vendor Decision We Made!

Chelsey is not only an incredibly talented and professional photographer, she is also kind, respectful, and entirely flexible. We were running behind with hair and makeup and she just went with it and worked with the hiccups effortlessly. She had such great photo ideas and her style is truly vibrant and joyful! I tear up at my wedding photos every time I look at them! They really captured the magic of our day so perfectly.

Captured Engagement Beautifully!

Chelsey is amazing! We are not used to taking professional photos, especially as a couple, and Chelsey made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience. My fiance surprised me with our shoot with Chelsey after our engagement and it was such a fun time. We loved our photos so much and felt she captured our proposal wonderfully. We are so happy to have this milestone memory documented with such beautiful images! Thank you, Chelsey!

10/10 photographer for proposals!

Chelsey was a spectacular photographer who really made proposal photos a blast. She was incredibly easy to work with, extremely friendly, and also very flexible! We worked through multiple plans (including adverse weather plans), set up photo permits, and quickly organized all logistics. Her photos are also amazing! We love the aesthetic and can't recommend her enough. Thank you Chelsey!

Proposal & Celebration Captured Perfectly by Chelsey!

I recently hired Chelsey for a photography session in Chicago to capture my proposal and the celebration that followed, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! Chelsey was truly outstanding professional, accommodating, and exceptionally talented. She went above and beyond to help plan the proposal, offering thoughtful suggestions to make everything perfect. Even with last minute changes due to unpredictable weather, Chelsey adapted effortlessly and still delivered stunning photos that beautifully captured the joy of the occasion. Her attention to detail and ability to blend seamlessly into the moment made everything feel natural and special. The photos from both the proposal and the after party are breathtaking, and we’ll cherish them forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Chelsey to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated photographer. Thank you, Chelsey, for making our day unforgettable! -Jack

Engagement Photos

Chelsey photographed my engagement and made the moment even more magical with her kindness and professionalism. I was completely unaware that she was even there until my fiancé pointed her out - she did such a good job at ensuring I was completely surprised. She had scoped out the location beforehand, so she already had spots picked out where she wanted to take photos and expertly choreographed my fiancé and I. She was so sweet as well; she was so respectful of the fact that it was such a personal moment for us and made sure to prioritize our experience. In addition to being a great photographer, she is a sweet person who I was happy to walk around and chat with. The pictures that she has gotten back to us are absolutely gorgeous, and I feel so lucky to have such a special moment captured so beautifully. Everything was perfect, and I could not be more thankful.

We would definitely recommend Chelsey!!
