Best Videographer Ever!

Chelsea is the most amazing person, and truly is the best choice when it comes to a videographer for your big day. She makes sure to consult with you beforehand on what shots are important for her to capture, and on the big day she gets straight to business with detail shots and getting ready clips. We had a blast with her in the bridal suite during our getting ready time, and she was incredible with getting perfect shots during sunset as well. She delivered a super fun preview video to us just 3 days after the wedding, and she had all of our edited videos delivered within 3 weeks! Her talent for making the perfect cinematic video of the day is truly unmatched. The way she incorporates vows, ceremony bits, speeches, first look moments, dancing, and so much more had myself, husband, and everyone we shared it with crying because it captured the emotion of the day so well. And of course having our full ceremony, dances, first look, and speeches are memories that we will cherish forever. If you are debating whether or not to get a videographer, this is your sign to absolutely do it. Having these moments on film is worth every single penny, and there is no better person to capture it than Chelsea!

Beautiful wedding videos!!

We’re so grateful to have worked with Chelsea for our wedding day in Sept 2024. She was so on top of it throughout the day always making sure she was capturing our most special moments, while also having such a lovely and kind presence. Chelsea sent us our video footage super quickly a couple days later, so my husband and I enjoyed watching all of the videos continuously while we were on our honeymoon. The videos are stunning and really capture our day beautifully. We’re so excited with how they turned out and will enjoy getting to re-live those moments for many years to come! Thank you so much Chelsea and team for an amazing experience and amazing videos!

Hiring Chelsea will be one of your best decisions!

We hired Chelsea per the recommendation of our friends who hired her for their wedding in 2017. We are beyond thankful and grateful to have found her!

Chelsea perfectly captured our day. She didn’t miss a beat – getting ready, pre-ceremony letters to one another, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, toasts, cake cutting, and dancing – she caught it all! It’s also worth noting that our ceremony and reception were in different locations. We knew this would create some logistical challenges between getting ready at the reception site, going to Mission SLO for the ceremony, then back to the reception venue! But Chelsea handled it all seamlessly. We had a full mass ceremony, so clearly this was an aspect of our wedding day that was very important to us. Chelsea read into this and we loved how much of our ceremony she included in our wedding highlight video!

Chelsea made it so fun and comfortable to be in front of the camera, sometimes I even forgot she was there! She also worked fabulously with our photographer which helped make the day go smoothly.

It’s weeks later and our friends and family are still giving compliments on how much they love our wedding video. Again, we are so grateful to have found Chelsea and for the video(s) we’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Chelsea for EVERYTHING!
