    We Love Chelsie!!

    I think I fell in love with Chelsie at our first meeting or at the very least wanted to be her best friend. Her energy and enthusiasm for photography is so invigorating. I feel like my husband and I could have gotten married in the middle of a parking garage and she still would have been able to get gorgeous pictures of us. She’s incredibly talented and has a great personality. She was always making us laugh and smile during the photoshoots which led to genuine smiles. She directed our wedding party with ease and they are a crazy group. We get so many comments about how beautiful our engagement and wedding pictures are. I am SO HAPPY we chose Chelsie!

    Chelsie is a wonderful photographer. She helped us find a package that fit in our budget, and listened carefully to what we wanted for our wedding day photography. She is professional, talented, and made us feel comfortable and at ease during our engagement shoot and on the day of the wedding.

    She remembered details in the moment from the questionnaire that I filled out before the wedding that I forgot, and ad cute umbrellas at the ready when it turned out to be a rainy day (those pics are some of my favorite from the day!). She dealt cheerfully with my big, rowdy disorganized family and got perfect family group shots (everyone agrees our extended family picture is about as good as could be!).

    When I look through the pictures Chelsie took it is like re-living the wedding from another point of view-- seeing how delighted and full of love we look during our processional and recessional makes me cry every time I see them (I'm getting teary right now writing this). She truly captured the presence of the spirit that was with us the whole day.

    Chelsie, thank you for being there with us on our wedding day (I am so glad we have your signature on our wedding certificate, too!).

    To all the couples out there considering Chelsie as a photographer: you will not be disappointed!

    Chelsie was wonderful to work with! From the very start, she was responsive to all emails and worked with our timeline to schedule the engagement photos, even while we were an entire state away. She was super helpful throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding, and she was incredibly attentive to all the details and plans we had discussed. As we worked with her, she got to know our personalities so we always felt comfortable with her. She also knew the kind of photos we wanted for the wedding - classic, timeless, and loving. On the day of the wedding, Chelsie and her secondary photographer were very professional, especially during the ceremony, which was a Catholic mass in a church - they were amazing! They knew exactly where to go and the shots they needed to take during the ceremony. During the reception, they took great photos of everyone, and we just love looking through the entire album! Chelsie perfectly captured our love during the most amazing day of our lives. Thank you so, so much!

    We absolutely loved having Chelsie as our wedding photographer! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie is so easy to work with and genuinely cares about her clients. She made our experience so fun and relaxing and made sure we felt supported through the entire planning process. She went over and beyond to help us with everything from outfits for our engagement session to helping us plan our timeline for our entire wedding day.

    We had a lot of special requests for different photos including photos of family heirlooms as well as photos of special details we wanted to be sure were captured. Being a bride can make it hard to fully trust that all of your requests will be met, but Chelsie made sure we got everything we asked for.

    On top of Chelsie being organized, knowledgeable, and professional, she is honest, funny, and super sweet. She was so encouraging as we worked through the awkward poses and camera shyness, and we had a great time during our engagement session, as well as on our wedding day, joking and laughing about all the memories we made in such a short amount of time. If I could do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat!

    Chelsie is everything my husband and I could have ever asked for in a photographer and more. She's friendly and genuine and you can tell she loves what she does so happiness just pours out of her and adds even more to one of the most memorable days of your life. We instantly hit it off at our first coffee-meeting and had a blast at our engagement shoot. Chelsie was up for all of our ideas and when we settled on a Christmas tree farm she was able to fit us into her schedule last-minute, acted like the weather wasn't freezing (when it was), and was incredibly patient with our dog (and us as she walked us through how not to feel awkward). This combination gave us some amazing pictures! She knew we were in a time-crunch hoping to send save-the-date Christmas cards and got us the photos in just two weeks (with preview photos even sooner). Communication was always very quick with Chelsie and the payment process was made very simple through her online client portal. We could always count on her energy and enthusiasm over email and on our wedding day I couldn't wait to see her again! I don't think enough can be said for her organizational skills, awareness, and patience on crazy wedding days. It was so easy for me to let go and let Chelsie take the reins - it was such a relief and she was a true professional. A true professional who also knows how to joke around and trick people into posing for outstanding photos. Organizing our giant families was also not the easiest task but she enlisted the right help and had all of our family photos taken care of in record time. This meant we were actually able to enjoy the back-end of cocktail hour! Kara, Chelsie's second shooter on the day, was also fantastic - both were able to get the most amazing candid photos, keep us on our timeline, and bring even more humor and joy to our day. Our wedding photos are gorgeous and truly captured the spirit of us and of the day. We can never thank these two enough for the magic they worked!!

    Chelsie is wonderful! She makes you feel comfortable and does a FABULOUS job at capturing candid special moments. She is personable and provides the perfect amount of direction to make your wedding day run smoothly. She is not invasive during the ceremony but still has the most wonderful shots. I would recommend her to anyone!

    If you are looking for a confident, professional photographer who is comfortable to work with, you need to contact Chelsie. She is very casual and yet captures the most romantic moments of the wedding event. She takes suggestions and offers advice freely. She was willing to answer all of our questions and help us as we purchased the perfect photographs to capture the moment. As the mother of the bride, I was relieved to know that Chelsie would help make the event perfect. Thank you to Chelsie and Chelsie Gordon Photography!

    We met with several photographers before deciding on who to choose for our wedding. Chelsie was by far the friendliest and most professional from the start. We were planning a smaller wedding and did not need a big photography package, and Chelsie was very flexible and accommodating with our budget and our timeframe even knowing it was a holiday weekend in prime wedding season. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, both before and after the wedding, and both she and her assistant made us feel super comfortable throughout the whole wedding day. She was fantastic to work with, and the photos are stunning. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great photographer.

    Chelsie is amazing to work with! My husband really lucked into finding her when looking for a photographer in our area for our rustic barn wedding in October. She knew just what we wanted and definitely delivered on our perfectly vintagey-autumn shots. She is polite and considerate, but out spoken enough to keep the wedding party on track with the excitement of the day. We had a very DIY wedding and she captured all of the decor in a way that I'll always be able to look back on and treasure the hard work we all put in! She earned lots of bonus points with our family when she was able to get smiles out of my (now) stepsons, who aren't always in favor of dressing up and posing for pics. They served as the best men for us and she captured so many special moments. I've been able to recommend her to several friends who gushed over our special day and the memories we can show off forever thanks to Chelsie! We can't wait for an opportunity to work with her again!

    Chelsie is a wonderful wedding photographer. We used her for our engagement photos and on our wedding day. We have two horses and Chelsie was willing to include them in our engagement shoot. She did a fabulous job of capturing our love for each other and our love for our horses. She was willing to do shots of us with both horses and with each horse individually. For our wedding, Chelsie arrived ahead of schedule and capture every detail of our wedding day. She also managed to direct and fit a bridal party of 20 people and us in the group photos! Chelsie did a great job of directing family photos also. She is unbelievably kind and positive. She is willing to do any photo requests and her prices are extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend her for any photography sessions especially weddings.

    I can't explain how amazing Chelsie did at my wedding a year ago. A wedding, engagement, baby shoot are memories you want to capture forever and Chelsie does just that and her work is absolutely beautiful. Friends and family of mine raved over the pictures from our night as we told stories of the evening. Chelsie was so comfortable to be around as you get pictures taken and knows how to loosen even the guys up. My husband loved having her as our photographer. I highly recommend Chelsie for any pictures that you want on your special day, you won't be disappointed!!!

    Choosing Chelsie to be my wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. She was so easy to work with and the photos she delivered were fabulous. She made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera, which is something my husband and I don't always enjoy. She gave great direction and knew exactly what she was doing. I've also been apart of several bridal parties where Chelsie was the photographer and she always produces great photos. Chelsie knows how to capture the special moments and details that you never want to forget from that special day.

    I can't talk Chelsie up enough! She was WONDERFUL to work with! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! She has an incredible eye, is extremely easy to work with and just a sweet young woman. I felt like we got a great value for our price. I am glad she was there to capture our special day!
