Hi, I'm Chelsea, owner and lead photographer of Toujours, and I am so excited you're here! Toujours is Queer & Woman-owned. In this house, Black Lives Matter, ALL bodies are beautiful, & we are LGBTQIA+ affirming. Follow me on Instagram @toujoursphoto.
Your wedding is the start of your toujours, French for "always." When I first visited Paris in 2005, I realized I wanted to create photography that embodied that feeling of always. My goal is to create images that, when you look at them months and years after your wedding day, help you relive every genuine, breathtaking moment. With over 13 years of experience and 100+ weddings photographed, I know how to create those images.
These are your always images.
When it comes to your wedding day, I adjust my approach to your priorities. Do you want a big first look? Magazine-worthy wedding party portraits? Romantic direct flash images? I'll stay flexible and help you determine the best way to make it happen. I'll check in with you throughout our time together to ensure you're at ease. The best destination wedding photography happens when you feel comfortable enough to get lost in the moment. And, even more, important than the photos, this is your wedding day we're talking about! You should get to enjoy it.

Chelsea, our photographer at Toujours, is flat out super woman. Not only did she create such insanely beautiful pieces of art for us to remember forever, but she was actively a part of making our day perfect. From holding my train to editing a photo or two the night of to show me, she had me smiling from ear to ear all night and after that night! She is so creative and thoughtful in the wedding portraits and photos. In the midst of the craziness, you don’t really even realize what’s going on. Chelsea makes sure the photos are EXACTLY the style you want, even when your head is spinning with 80 guests around. I can’t recommend her enough. My wife said to me recently, “so, do we really not get to book Chelsea again until our maternity photos?” and that’s a “No, we have to find a reason before then!”

Chelsea is an ARTIST & a truly wonderful human
Oh my goodness. I don't even have good enough words to describe how talented, kind, and overall amazing Chelsea is. Chelsea was a non-negotiable vendor for me when it came to our wedding and I am SO eternally grateful we booked her!! Not only is she the most talented photographer I have ever had the pleasure of working with, but she is a true gemstone of a person inside and out. She went the extra mile for us in our wedding planning process so many times. She has an eye for incredible photos I never could've even imagined. I truly felt so supported and loved by her on our wedding day in addition to her taking photos of my husband and I that are just art. If you're getting married, you need Chelsea to take your photos!!!

Amazing and professional!
Chelsea was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and accommodating. Even in the middle of the pandemic she provided a great service and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend hiring her. Not only is she a great photographer but she is very sweet and easy to communicate with! (Also she has adorable fur babies that she is very passionate about)

Amazing Photos by a now Amazing Friend!
I could literally spend all day writing this review about Chelsea and how awesome she is! She was our wedding photographer in December and not only did she take STUNNING photos, she is truly an amazing, caring person. I have loved every second getting to know her, and cried multiple times over how she was able to capture our love on the day of our wedding. If you're looking for a photographer that will become a great friend, that is passionate about life and is truly one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, Chelsea is the one for you!

Amazing and Relaxed Experience
We had the most amazing experience with Chelsea and Skyler (Adornment Photo, Chelsea's second shooter at our wedding)! My husband and I didn't have very many "must have" photos or much of a plan at all, but Chelsea was on it and created the most beautiful collection of photos we could've imagined. I just made our scrapbook, and everything fits so well together.

Chelsea is absolutely amazing!
When I first stumbled across Toujours’ Instagram page, I immediately fell in love with Chelsea’s work. Each photograph is unique and her style was exactly what I wanted for my own wedding photos. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with the entire time. And, for someone who is not that comfortable in front of a camera, she made it easy and fun. She provides great direction and has ideas that created amazing photos! On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure every moment of our special day was captured. All of our photos are beyond beautiful and we are so happy to have these for the years to come. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I am sure that we will find an excuse to have her take our pictures again sometime in the future!

Chelsea was a great photographer! She was sooo nice and had a great vision for our pictures. I also felt really comfortable with her. I could tell she really cares about making couples feel special. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married. I can’t wait to see her final product!

Ahhhhmazing!
Okay y’all let me just say, you know when a photographer does amazing quality work when you have to leave a review twice on two different sites! I can’t brag enough about Chelsea, as I’ve worked with her personally for fashion photography photos! This woman is amazing and so easy to work with. My fiancé and I recently shot our engagement photos, and they turned out lovely ! My fiancé was amazed at how nice he looked on camera (as he’s not a fan of himself in pics). Chelsea really outdoes herself when it comes to her work. When I say she deserves more than 5 stars she DESERVES MORE hands down! If you’re looking for a photographer that will give you beautiful photos for an affordable price, Chelsea is your girl! And please go check out her work. I can’t stop raving over the recent engagement photos of ours from the Raleigh Arts Museum... y’all don’t even understand how stunningly beautiful they turned out . I’m in love with these pictures, and nothing beats seeing my fiancé happy about himself in photos. My fiancé and I are ecstatic about her shooting for our wedding next year. Thank you so much Chelsea , we love you !! ❤️

We cannot say enough about Chelsea! We not only entrusted Chelsea with our wedding but also our engagement pictures. From traveling half way across the country with us, to dealing with our crazy dogs, Chelsea did it all! Chelsea was a vital part of our wedding day and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else! She was incredibly helpful during the day of prep, adding helpful hands for things far beyond photography as well as an amazing second shooter. My husband and I do not enjoy posing for pictures however, Chelsea made it so much fun. She was able to deal with us and our crazy friends and family, all while taking absolutely stunning pictures! She was willing to get down and dirty to make sure she got all of the best shots and during both circumstances, never kept us waiting for our beautiful pictures. Oh and did I mention, her pictures were published in Rocky Mountain Bride! If you’re looking for a professional, fun and extremely talented photographer, look no further than Chelsea!
