Capturing Real Moments + Human Connection
Michigan Wedding Photographer
Photos That Feel
Let’s break all the rules and give you a day to remember that looks and feels like you. Forget the perfectly curated instagram photos – what really matters are those genuine, heart-melting exchanges between two people in love. It is about capturing real moments and all the fun! On your wedding day you will be surrounded by the ones you love and your wedding photos should reflect that love.
LIVE IN THE MOMENTS
Your wedding day is unique to you and you want it documented in a way that allows you to enjoy your day without rushing and it feeling like a photo shoot all day. This is why I have tailored my packages to allow you to have plenty of time during the day and also to offer a full wedding weekend experience.
WEDDING COVERAGE WITH NO LIMITS
Full wedding day coverage
I love spending time with you and don’t want to cut that short. I want to be there to truly document your day with no limits and no interruptions. This also allows you to free up your timeline and not have to squeeze in any formalities or other happenings just so you have it documented before the photographer leaves.
I’m Chelsea!
Taco eating, animal lovin’, nature addict, who happens to get to capture life through a camera for a living.
That is me singing Whitney Houston at my own wedding! I want you to have as much fun at your wedding as I did and I want to be there to document it all. That means I want you to be fully present for your day and enjoying your family and friends.
Capturing you in your rawest form is more than just a passion—it’s my ultimate joy. Being entrusted with such significant moments is a privilege I deeply cherish. For me, clients aren’t just clients; they’re family, and I wholeheartedly invite you to be a part of my photo family circle.
In the 14 years I have been documenting weddings what always brings a smile to my face is being able to capture these moments for my clients and seeing them revisit their day through the photos over and over.
MOMENTS MATTER
Photographing weddings is about so much more than just capturing images of the couple. It’s about documenting the entire experience, including the friends and family you’ve chosen to share this meaningful day with. Each guest brings their own energy and emotions, contributing to the atmosphere and the memories being created. I love capturing those candid moments between loved ones, the laughter, the tears, and the connections that make your celebration unique and unforgettable.
Vibrant, Emotive, Candid Photography
Photography that blends photojournalistic style with a creative and artistic touch.
