About
Long story short: I am a professional traveling wedding photographer and I am obsessed with my job!
Short story long: I am a wedding and lifestyle natural light photographer currently calling Florida home (with additional roots in New England and the UK) - traveling wherever your adventure leads you! I live for love, light, and making photos that make you feel something. My style can be described as light, bright and film inspired - warm tones are my jam.
During wedding days you'll find me in the midst of everything, capturing the vibe of the day by covering all of the important moments, details and scenery - without missing the fleeting candid moments in between that you might not have the time to stop and appreciate during the craziness of the day. I'm everywhere and nowhere all at once many of the unseen moments end up being the favorites!
During lifestyle sessions, I love taking the time to slow down and shoot in beautiful light in beautiful places - getting a good mix of editorial-like poses and candids that show connection - while I offer up just enough instruction to get good poses, prompt real emotions and interactions, I strive to let your photos show the real you at the same time. The default worthy profile pics are a given, but I pride myself on my knack for going deeper, for capturing people's personalities and connections. A pretty photo of a couple kissing in the sunset looks great on any wall, but there's something to be said about a candid photo that you'll look back on when you're 80 that reminds you of what your soul mates laugh sounded like in your 20's. We're freezing time here people, and I want to be sure we're choosing the real moments. That's what sets me apart.
When you book me for your wedding, I'm investing in you and your story just as much as you're investing in me. All of my collections come with an engagement session because that time is valuable for us to get to know each other. I mean, I'll be following you around for at least 8 hours on the big day lets get you a little used to the camera first! I'll also be hands on with your wedding schedule because I want to be sure we will have the right light for portraits and enough time built in so that you aren't stressing any more than you have to.

Magical, Effortless, and Beyond Talented - BEST Wedding Decision Made
From our engagement shoot to our welcome party and wedding day, the photos Chelsea captured are absolutely incredible. Hiring her was truly the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process.
We first heard about Chelsea through our best friend’s wedding, and once we got engaged, it felt like everyone said, “You HAVE to use Chelsea.” And they were so right. Her talent is unmatched—not only in the quality of her work, but in how she sees and captures the moments that actually matter. The colors are vibrant, the emotions are raw and real, and every image tells a story. We truly felt like we relived the day just by scrolling through the gallery.
Chelsea has this rare gift for making people feel completely at ease. I’ve been in so many weddings where photos felt a little awkward—but working with Chelsea? It felt like hanging out with a friend (honestly… I want to be her friend!). She’s calm, fun, confident, and just knows how to bring out the best in everyone around her.
And let’s talk about her eye for light—the way she literally finds the light (hello, Finding Light Photography!) is no joke. It’s magic.
We’re so thankful to have these memories captured so beautifully, and we’ll treasure them forever. Chelsea goes above and beyond for her couples—even rearranging things in her personal life to be present for our Friday night event. That kind of dedication speaks volumes.
If you’re considering working with Chelsea, do it. We couldn’t be more grateful for her. THANK YOU doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Pure Magic!
So far we have just gotten sneak peaks but to say we’re blown away is an understatement. Chelsea has a gift and a personality that lights up a room! We had a small micro wedding at Bakers Cay in Key Largo, FL. She truly made me as the bride feel so special and heard, that what I wanted for photos also mattered! I picked Chelsea from seeing her photos from other vendors and I highly recommend her. Her photos will be shared for years to come and I can’t wait to get the rest of them! Hopefully will be able to use her in the future for more photos!

Chelsea creates MAGIC.
Chelsea creates MAGIC. Her artistic vision & storytelling skills are unmatched — we could not have asked for a better human to capture our wedding. Photos are meant to make you feel something, & her work does just that. She finds the light — in not only every capture — but in every moment. She has left us absolutely speechless & overwhelmed with joy, as we repeatedly scroll through our wedding gallery. Our friends, family, & vendor friends are SWOONING over her work. Can you blame them?! To be given the opportunity to work with such talent is beyond inspiring. She is absolutely exceptional at what she does. Her presence is just as drenched in sunshine as her beautiful captures. "Fun & luxury. Boujee & down-to-earth." You truly get the best of both worlds. Creative, kind, and dedicated — Chelsea, we cannot thank you enough for not only capturing our wedding, but being such a special part of our day. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, stop-in-your-tracks & reach out to Chelsea. She is, without a single doubt in my mind, your girl.

The Absolute BEST!!!
Words cannot express my gratitude for Chelsea and her amazing work! I may be biased since I have known Chels since our college days, but she is hands down one of the best photographers in the game. She has shot a lot of our friends' weddings and I could not wait to have her capture mine. Chelsea is beyond talented and she truly has a way of capturing all the raw emotion and special moments during our engagement shoot and wedding day. My husband and I had the best time with Chels during our engagement session! It was so much fun and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. When Chels delivered our engagement photos … oh my goodness … we could not find a favorite because they all were our favorites! It meant so much to me to have a close friend photograph our wedding day and it was great to know that we were in the best hands. I did not have a single worry on my mind because I knew Chels would work her magic! Chelsea was calm, professional, and efficient in capturing all our must-have photos and every little moment in between. We recently received our sneak peeks from our wedding and we are gushing over how perfect our day was and we are so excited to receive our full gallery!!! Not only is Chelsea such an amazing person, but wonderful at her craft. I could not recommend anyone else to capture the special moments in your life!

Best of all time
No doubt one of the most incredible photographers of all time!!! First of all let me tell you we picked our wedding date based on Chelsea’s availability. She’s just that amazing. From the booking process to schedule preparing and to your wedding day, Chelsea is in constant communication with you and makes everything so easy. She creates you a timeline and makes sure everything falls into place. She makes the whole process so easy and stress free.
Most importantly, she captures real and raw moments... you’ll want to stare at your photos forever.
Chelsea- we cannot thank you enough for the photos of our most favorite day EVER and for capturing my surprise birthday party earlier this year. Do yourself a favor and book Chelsea for you wedding...she is absolutely incredible!!!! And you will love your photos beyond words.

Best photographer ever!
Where do I even begin? Kevin and I tied the knot on November 20, 2020 in Islamorada, Florida Keys and hiring Chelsea as our photographer was the BEST decision of the entire process! From the moment we got connected, Chelsea made it SO easy and was so transparent with us from the start. Our friends and family still talk about her and how awesome and friendly she was from beginning to end. Chels was so accommodating with what we wanted ESP. planning a wedding during Covid.
IMO, Photography is the MOST important vendor you could book throughout the entire wedding process and we knew exactly what we wanted and what we didn’t want and we KNEW early on that Chelsea was it for us! We booked her for our engagement shoot which we are SO happy we did because we had a feel of how she works (highly rec to hire her for both) this was our first time really taking professional pictures and Chelsea helped us pose, made us laugh, and helped take the edge off of feeling awkward. ALL the shots came out so natural. Her lifestyle, candid shots are my absolute fave and she makes you feel so comfortable through it all.
Fast forward to our wedding day.. we all know how stressful this day can be and from the moment Chelsea arrived, she was on her A game! Chels literally blended in as if she was family and made myself and everyone feel SO relaxed. She delivered our sneak peeks in a gallery just two days after our wedding day and we were in shock of how beautiful they came out- which we knew they would but it totally exceeded our expectations- we shed lots and lots of happy tears that day- still do!
On top of Chelsea’s AMAZING customer service, responsiveness, and passion for what she does, Chels is a TRUE professional and the absolute sweetest! She’ll give you 150% to make your day EXTRA special and deliver exactly what you want! So happy we chose you! You’re our photographer for LIFE!
Look no further- HIRE Findinglight- you won’t regret it!
