Chelsea The Magnificent!

Chelsea was fantastic! She had such a great vision and we were over-the-moon when we got our photos back. She captured our wedding in the most perfect way. (And she captured so many intimate moments).

We had the most perfect wedding and now we have the most perfect photos to always remember this special and magical day

Chelsea was professional and punctual and a great communicator. I’m so glad she was there to capture our day

Thank you, Chelsea!

Chelsea is absolutely amazing!

My husband and I made the best absolute choice choosing Chelsea as our wedding photographer/videographer. I was blown away to see the quality of the pictures and how fast I received my photos! My family and I have chosen to only go with Chelsea for any other photo shoots because she is just amazing! Never felt pressured by her, she went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied and we were! Thank you Chelsea!

wedding photos of my dreams

Chelsea is the most amazing photographer! I have trusted her artistry in capturing my most valued memories for over 10 years now! Meeting with her, you'll instantly notice her attention to detail and care for your vision. She has such a great eye and amazing editing skills to ensure that her packaged product is everything you've hoped for and more! My wedding was indoors, but Chelsea was able to capture the most beautiful shots outdoors in natural light and quickly adapt to shooting our ceremony indoors. If you're looking for a photographer who is easy to work with, listens, provides great direction, is professional, makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed, and is extremely timely and reliable- hire Urban Bay. I am so thankful to her for providing me with the most beautiful memories. You're the best Chels!
