    Absolutely incredible

    When my wife and I were picking a photographer Chelsea and her husband Andrew stood out to us simply because of how kind and down to earth they both are. We immediately felt comfortable with them and we got our engagement photos and wedding photos done by them. The quality of the work is amazing and was worth every cent. Chelsea worked with us on a photo timeline and worked great with our coordinator to make sure everything was planned accordingly and she took into consideration everything we wanted photographed and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with. Chelsea was extremely professional throughout this process and very responsive to everything we needed/asked for.

    stunning artistry, and wonderful humans!

    In addition to our big day, Chelsea & Andrew shot our engagement and our small backyard civil ceremony a few months before our big wedding, and across the board, investing in their talent & services was one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. They captured the warmth and joy and love of each occasion with such sensitivity and artistry and authenticity, and have given us literally *countless* stunning images to treasure for the rest of our lives, both on film and digitally. Plus, they are genuinely just such cool, laidback people — they make it easy to relax and enjoy the process, and offer such a calming, positive presence as you enjoy your big day. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

    Best choice we could have made!

    Chelsea was amazing! She and her husband were so welcoming and kind during the booking process, and Chelsea was professional, caring, and helpful for the wedding itself! The pictures we received were stunning! I hate pictures of myself, but Chelsea made me feel comfortable behind the camera, and now I want everyone framed!!
    She was such a blessing, and we recommend her to everyone!

    July Elopement

    My husband and I eloped in July 2023 at a local park after returning from our international travels. Chelsea was recommended to us by ElopeRVA and we were not disappointed. We were able to meet over zoom while abroad so we could get to know Chelsea and her partner and feel completely comfortable on the day of our wedding. We all had a great time despite the outdoor event and high temps. Even though we were in a local Richmond park Chelsea was able to make our photos look green, lush, and wild, like we were deep in a beautiful forest. We had a only booked an hour shoot before dinner with our parents but still ended up with tons of beautiful photos. I love the editing style as I feel many other wedding photographers follow current trends that wash their clients out. Our photos had deep beautiful colors. Thank you Chelsea!

    The best photographer choice!!

    Chelsea Diane Photography was recommended by our venue - we were sold after checking Chelsea & Andrew’s portfolio! They had the photography style we were going for. Choosing them was the BEST decision! They made taking 100’s of photos FUN and comfortable. They are warm, kind, and easy-going. Our pictures came out AMAZING, a perfect reflection of our perfect day. You cannot go wrong by picking them to capture your special day!

    Unbelievably talented and kind humans

    We hit the jackpot with Chelsea and Andrew - we found photographers with insane talent that was in the style of photography we love and ended up being lucky enough to work with two of the kindest humans ever. Love my husband, but the two of us instantly go to laughter when anything gets awkward - which doesn’t always make for the best photos - Chelsea and Andrew managed through this beautifully during our engagement session by instantly making us feel comfortable and helping guide us along the way. Our engagement session was SO fun and we connected right away so we knew our wedding was going to be absolutely perfect. Chelsea and Andrew were a dream to work with - from our first meeting to now, we’ve had professionalism, responsiveness, kindness, and thoughtfulness at levels we didn’t expect and truly believe our vendor team was the ultimate dream team.

    You won’t ever regret having the most dreamy photos of your most perfect day thanks to these two.

    Micro Wedding

    My fiancé and I had a very small micro ceremony and the one area we wanted to treat like a big wedding was the photography. Chelsea was not only lovely, but shot our wedding in the mist and gave us really incredible photos. So excited to hang them on our wall! Thank you for the beautiful memories

    Dream fall wedding pictures!

    Chelsea was amazing during my elopement on Halloween! My husband and I eloped in a beautiful park and she had a wonderful eye for the best places in the park and within the nearby neighborhood to take our pictures! My dream fall pictures came to life thanks to her!

    Wonderful experience

    I found Chelsea online for our elopement/microwedding and thought her photos were beautiful. We didn't have a rigid plan (other than the venue) and she was very flexible and even gave a wonderful florist recommendation. She asked us for any specific family photos we wanted (which she delivered). She also did an amazing job capturing beautiful candids during the ceremony and posed couples photos afterward. We were so happy with the finished album, and amazed at how many gorgeous shots she captured within a one hour period. She is also so sweet and has a calming presence, reminding me to enjoy the moment :) I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a photographer, no matter than occasion!

    Absolutely Phenomenal!!

    Chelsea & Andrew are absolutely phenomenal! I admittedly reached out to them before we even considered venues because I’ve been obsessed with Chelsea's photography for years. They are both the sweetest people alive- They're both so genuine and kind. We love them! They made the entire wedding seamless and so much fun! Andrew and Chelsea are so incredibly talented! All of their pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to book them for future sessions!!

    Please choose Chelsea and Andrew!

    My husband and I planned our elopement in 6 weeks. I was recommended Chelsea by our officiant and planner Chantal with ElopeRVA. Chelsea and Andrew are SO creative and talented!! Chelsea has the sweetest soul and she made me feel so comfortable. They made sure to capture all the things that were important our photos were STUNNING! I’m so glad that we have this amazing gallery to look back on to remember our wedding day. I will recommend them over and over again!

    Only If You Desire THE Best!

    I found Chelsea on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work — fast forward a couple years later to the planning of a last minute micro-wedding/large elopement, Chelsea was the first vendor we reached out to and were so ecstatic that she was available, especially on such short notice.

    Chelsea was very professional, polite, welcoming, and perhaps most importantly on my end, made me feel comfortable in front of the camera with my beau! Chelsea was also very flexible and accommodating, supplying us with an array of black and white and color photos. Chelsea was personable and charismatic — all our family enjoyed her and she really made our wedding very special!

    The images speak for themselves 😍 If we had to do it again, Chelsea would be first choice!

    Stunning Photos, Wonderful People

    We can't say enough nice things about working with Chelsea and Andrew! They are simply wonderful people and photographers - very thoughtful, kind and hugely talented. We were blown away with their past work and they were the only photographers that we reached out to for our wedding. They are excellent coaches too - we were a little camera shy at first and gave us really helpful direction - which resulted in images that we truly cherish. Throughout the whole process they made us feel like friends.
    The photos from our wedding are better than I could have imagined and they capture the tone and feel of that day for us. They caught details and moments that will help to preserve that incredible day.

    Incredible Photos from Fantastic People!

    Chelsea and Andrew were the best decision of our wedding! Leading up to the wedding, they were so quick to answer any questions and were an incredible resource. Not only were the wedding pictures absolutely gorgeous, but they were so incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us navigate the day and make sure everything went smoothly.
    They perfectly captured the big portraits, and got all the little moments in between that meant so much to us. It is clear how much Chelsea and Andrew value their work and we couldn't be happier with the result!

    Simply stunning

    Chelsea and Andrew are excellent people, made us feel very at home and comfortable. They were perfect on our day, on time and unobtrusive while we were having big moments, all the while capturing them on film.

    AND THE PHOTOS. OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD YALL. They capture moments and emotions so well and really find the good light!!! As my husband and I looked thru them it was like we were reliving the day. And they’re just so dang pretty. I love them I love them. So grateful to have found Andrew and Chelsea for our day.

    Chelsea and Andrew, literally the best

    They are literally amazing! We first got connected to them via Instagram. One of my fiancé's friends shared their work and thought we would like the style, and we did!
    They captured all the best moments of our special day, and I wouldn't pick any other photographer! Whatever photography needs we have in the future, we will be coming back!!!

    Better than we could've imagined!

    We are SO happy that Chelsea and Andrew were our wedding photographers. Before we found them, I was agonizing over photographers and spent more time searching than we did for any other vendor. Many of the ones we came across used colors we didn't love, or the photos felt too posed or forced, or they were just way out of our budget. When I stumbled on their website I had an immediate good feeling about them and was thrilled that they were available for our day.

    Chelsea and Andrew were so easy to work with from the start! We chatted with them a few times to talk about our vision, logistics, etc. and found them to be easygoing and funny. Chelsea is very responsive to emails and excited about fun little things we added, like a prank during the first look.

    On the day of our wedding, Chelsea and Andrew were wonderful. They immediately jumped into action with Chelsea shooting me and the bridesmaids, and Andrew with my husband and groomsmen. We really wanted natural photos that captured the joy of the day, and they did exactly that. They made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and gave us the space to experience every moment without feeling "documented." They also made sure to capture all of the family photos we wanted and after the ceremony were able to capture our solo portraits quickly so we could get to the party :) It really felt like they were happy to be there, which made the day all the more special!

    As for the photos -- they turned out more beautiful than we could've imagined. We have had SO many people tell us they're some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. We can't help but look at them with big smiles on our faces because they so perfectly captured the joy and love we felt on our wedding day. Our color scheme was very bright and summery and the way they edited the photos really highlights that too. All that time we spent searching for a wedding photographer was so worth it!

    Do yourself a favor and hire Chelsea and Andrew. You will not regret it!

    Talented, Kind & So Easy to Work With!

    Chelsea and Andrew were absolutely wonderful to work with! Their unique style and talent are what drew us in and man...were we blown away! Not only are they super talented, but they are great people! They have such kindness, flexibility, and grace...especially for these tough covid times. They worked seamlessly with the venue/other vendors and capture everything we wanted from our day and so much more! I could go on for hours, but just trust me...they will make the wedding planning process easier and their work will bring a smile to your face for years to come!

    *****x a million

    Choosing someone to capture photos that you have to look at for a lifetime is no easy task, unless you know Chelsea & Andrew. They are true masters of their craft- they see how spaces, light, and people can be brought together in ways you would never think of. Chelsea often saying "here, do this - I know it sounds weird"...normally turns into your favorite shot. Their style of photography is truly unique and beautiful. On top of being crazy talented photographers, they are top of the line humans. They are genuine, selfless, kind, and so easy to get along with! They are the type of people who show up for you in their darkest of times and show you what strength is! We are so lucky to have them as our lifelong photographers and friends.
