Talented, Professional & a TRUE Pleasure

My husband and I both work in the wedding /event industry (Wedding Planner & DJ) and we have the opportunity to meet and interact with so many different people and vendors - especially photographers - who we often work so closely with. When we had the opportunity to work with Chelsea and Michael it was a breath of fresh air and a true pleasure!!! (I mean it!) They were both so pleasant and easy to work with leading up to our clients’ wedding day - very responsive and offering helpful feedback for the timeline and details of the day they played a role in. On our clients wedding day - they were so friendly and got right to work, as though you didn't even know they were there - capturing each detail and memory of the day. I can confidently say, Rowlands Photography is very professional team - with kind and sweet personalities as a BONUS! Chelsea and Michael are REAL people who clearly enjoy what they do!!! And we enjoyed working together with both of them throughout the evening! Following the wedding - the professional images were shared with us and their talent still has us still loving the images from that very special day. The pictures were beautiful and our clients loved them so much as well!! We look forward to sharing our experience with future clients and working with Chelsea and Michael again!! It was a TRUE PLEASURE! ~Carolyn & Shawn Cox

Down to earth, responsive, amazing quality

If you are looking for a photographer - stop right here, and book now. Chelsea and Michael are the sweetest down to earth people. They were the best wedding decision my husband and I made!!! Michael and Chelsea will really be your friends by the time your wedding is over. The engagement shoot was incredibly fun. My husband even said that he had a fun time and he hates pictures. During the entire process they were very responsive and asked detail questions that I wouldn't have thought of. For the wedding day, they created a timeline for us and kept us on schedule. They took great pictures and my family and friends keep telling me how amazing our pictures turned out. We cannot wait to get our pictures framed!!

Amazing couple and photographers!

Chelsea and Michael absolutely made our whole wedding experience! From getting to know them through our engagement photo shoot and feeling comfortable in front of the camera to navigating a COVID wedding, they were on board the whole time and so wonderful! They are an amazing duo to work with and captured all the pictures we wanted at our wedding as well as some candid ones that we will cherish forever. My friends in film have commented numerous times on how amazing their shots are and how excellent the quality is! Book them!

Highly Recommend the Rowlands!

Michael and Chelsea were everything we could have hoped for in wedding photographers. We are so grateful that we found them and had the opportunity to work with them. From the first time we spoke to them, we could tell that they not only had an incredible handle on their business but were also kind and generous people. We chose to do engagement photos in our home and at an outdoor location nearby. Even though we had just met, they made us feel so comfortable. We ended the day feeling like we had made new friends. They were incredibly helpful and professional leading up to our wedding day. On the day of, they arrived on time and made us feel so at ease. They captured so many great memories from the day that we will cherish forever. We also received SO many compliments from friends and family regarding their kindness, professionalism and absolutely stunning photos. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to hire them as our wedding photographers and will recommend them to any friends and family!

Awesome all around!

From the beginning, Chelsea and Michael were awesome to work with! As we are living in a different state from where we got married, they were super flexible and willing to make things work when we had limited weekends we would be in town to meet, do our engagement shoot, etc or the wedding venue was being strict with their timeline. The personal commitment that they show each couple is above and beyond anything I would have ever expected. Not to mention, our pictures were breathtaking! We are both a bit camera shy and never before have we been so much in love with how pictures of us turned out! Chelsea and Michael made us feel relaxed and comfortable and we are truly excited of how they were able to capture the moments of our special day.

October Wedding in Richmond

Chelsea and Michael were very professional but also friendly and easy-going, which definitely helped make our picture taking go smoothly during the chaos of a wedding! They answered all our questions, took amazing shots, were creative, and took the time to make us feel like a priority even though our wedding was one of several they had during wedding season! We loved that they include an engagement session--it was great to get to know them before our wedding day. Taking pictures with them felt more like hanging out with friends. I am so thankful we used Rowlands Photography and have amazing pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Best Wedding Photographers Anywhere!

Chelsea and Michael are amazingly talented, but beyond that, our experience with them has left us as good friends. Being able to create a special bond with them allowed us to feel comfortable - something that is so important on your wedding day! They were invested in getting to know us, our story, our friends and family, and what was most important to us for our shoots/wedding day. They are organized, flexible, and efficient - we got our photos right after the wedding! They captured everything we had hoped for and more from our special day.

I dont know that I could say enough good things about Chelsea and Michael to ever truly be satisfied. From our engagement session to our wedding day, I was never disappointed. They communicate effectively and quickly whenever I had questions or concerns. Our wedding gallery was to us in 12 days following our wedding, which made my impatient heart so happy. They really have an eye for their art and their love for each other shows in the harmony of the pictures they capture. I am beyond thrilled that I chose them as I went through hundreds of portfolios before seeing theirs and ultimately choosing them. They made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable, while providing beautiful pictures at the end. Thank you so much for your love and support on our big day - you guys truly were wonderful!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
