BEYOND THE EXPECTED

Weddings with heart. Service with presence.

Chelsey captures wedding weekends with an editorial eye and a spirited heart -  honoring tradition while embracing the energy, emotion, and unexpected beauty of the moment. From Northern Michigan to  coast to coast and across the globe, her team documents iconic celebrations with intention, style, and a touch of magic.

The Experience is:

INTENTIONAL

Intentional

From our first conversation to the final delivery, everything I do is rooted in intention. I’m here to understand what matters most to you - not just how it looks, but how it feels. Every moment is approached with care, every image crafted with purpose, so your photos reflect the depth, beauty, and meaning behind your day.

INTENTIONAL

Energetic

I bring a vibrant energy to your wedding day that helps you and your guests feel at ease. My enthusiasm is contagious, turning photography into a fun and comfortable experience, so your genuine joy shines through every image.

Energetic

Connected

From the way I guide you through portraits to the quiet moments I catch when no one’s looking, connection is at the heart of everything I do. I take time to truly see you - your dynamic, your humor, your rhythm - so your images feel personal, not performative. This isn’t just about taking beautiful photos; it’s about making you feel seen, understood, and completely yourself.

Artful

Every image is composed with an artful eye - not just for beauty, but for meaning. I balance thoughtful composition with instinct, capturing the in-between moments as intentionally as the big ones. The result is imagery that feels elevated yet deeply personal - a gallery of photographs that tells your story with soul, style, and a sense of magic.

ARTFUL

Iconic

Your wedding photos should feel as unforgettable as the day itself — not just beautiful, but iconic. I craft images that stand the test of time: bold, emotionally rich, and full of presence. With an editorial sensibility and a love for the unscripted, I capture the kind of moments that become legacy — the ones you'll frame, feel, and never forget.

OFFERINGS

Digital photos are great, but there's nothing like holding your memories in your hands. Our team offer bespoke album creation tailored just for you. From selecting your favorite images to designing the layout, we handle it all. The result? A handcrafted album that tells your love story the way it deserves to be told.

Concierge Album Services

After years of photographing weddings, Chelsey and her team have identified what couples really need from a photographer on a wedding day – and have honed those offerings to be exceptional.

We handle the styling and photographing of your details the day before, upon request. That means more time for you to dance, laugh, and enjoy every second with your loved ones. Because the best moments happen when you're fully present - and we're there to capture it all. 

Day-Before Detail Styling

Weddings today are more than a single event; they're a weekend full of memories waiting to happen. From the welcome dinner to the farewell brunch, we're there to capture every laugh, toast, and happy tear. So go ahead, make it a weekend to remember—we'll make sure you never forget it.

Full Weekend Coverage

We do our homework. If possible, we visit your venue beforehand with your planner to find the best light and locations ahead of time. On your wedding day, we're ready to capture stunning images without interrupting the flow and are prepared with a clear vision of what the day will feel like based on the property! 

Property Walk-Throughs

Your wedding is filled with moments happening all at once—it's important to cover every one of them. With our team of photographers, every angle is covered. You get to live in the moment while we document it all, from the big events to the little glances. For events more than 200 guests, we recommend a team of 3 or more. 

A Photography Team

Your vision matters, and we're here to make it happen. Our pre-wedding calls ensure we're all on the same page—you, your planner, your designer, and us. No surprises, no missed moments. Just a seamless experience that lets you focus on soaking it all in.
