Chelsea and her team are excellent! First off, it started with a customized package that was able to fit in our budget. We had our first conversation, and Chelsea answered all of our questions and concerns and made us feel at ease with our photography choice. As time went on, she checked in and asked if there were any recommendations or any more questions for her. She was always in contact and was a super big help just in general. On our wedding day, Chelsea and her team showed up on time and blended in better than I expected. My family and friends loved them, and she ran family photos like a pro. She made everything go soo smoothly. I highly recommend booking Chelsea for your wedding/engagement photos. She does excellent work, and it is worth every penny! We have been obsessed with our pictures since we got them, and you can feel the love in each photo. read more

Easily our favorite vendor to work with was miss chelsea smith!! our wedding day photos are absolutely stunning, and they are all due to how hard chelsea & aisha worked to get the shot! chelsea truly felt like family & got to know us leading up to our big day. we had skype calls and questions about what photos we needed to make sure we captured, who might be difficult, what we were worried about, etc. She was a huge part of why our wedding day will be so memorable. I can't wait to work with her more in the future. Do not hesitate to book her..for the price, i got more than i could have ever imagined. Thank you again chelsea!! read more

Wow- where do I even start?! Chelsea is the most incredible photographer, friend, and person you will ever meet!! From the moment I met Chelsea, I've admired her dedication to her work, her positive attitude, and genuine love for her clients and her photography. When Chelsea and I met, Ryan and I were already midway through planning our August 2020 wedding, and had chosen a photographer already. However, plans quickly changed once Covid hit, and we ended up postponing our big wedding until 2021. Still wanting to get married, we quickly had to pivot and decided to continue with a small ceremony with our closest family in August. I immediately knew we had to have Chelsea as our photographer. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Chelsea and her photography. Hiring her for our 'micro wedding' this year was the best decision we could have made. She was SO easy to work with- extremely responsive, down to earth, and understanding. With everything going on and there being older grandparents at the ceremony, Chelsea was so respectful and accommodating to still get the absolute best shots while being safe and understanding with Covid health concerns. She is such a professional - all of our family members were so impressed with how she carried herself throughout the ceremony. And best of all, she makes you feel SO comfortable and it's like your best friend is just hanging out with you for the day. Now...how can I forget..the PICTURES! Wow, were we blown away when we received the photo album from Chelsea. She caught every single moment...even expressions and interactions we did not catch the day of! We will be forever grateful to have our special day captured so perfectly. I promise you will not be disappointed hiring Chelsea for your wedding photographer. She will go above and beyond to make your day so special, and will leave you with the most beautiful photos to forever remember your day! We love you Chelsea! read more

Our wedding photography journey with Chelsea was a dream! I would 1000 percent recommend her talents and services to everyone. The whole experience with Chelsea from start to finish was the best. Her proposal process was great. She put a lot of effort into the proposal based on our wants and needs for the wedding. She took such beautiful engagement photos of us and included our dog, which was great practice for the big day. Chelsea made us feel so comfortable and showed us all the cute poses. On the day of the wedding, working with Chelsea and her assistant was the best. They made the whole process of capturing the wedding so stress-free for my husband and I. After the wedding Chelsea was wonderful at communicating and getting us the beautiful photos quickly. I can confidently say I will be hiring Chelsea again for my next photographing needs. read more

I had Chelsea do my graduation photos and let me tell you, she is the best! She is so down to earth, and made me feel comfortable while taking the photos! I will continue to use her for pictures. I highly recommend her if you want photos done! She does an incredible job and will capture the best moments. Thank you so much Chelsea !! read more

Absolutely love this GEM!! She's done nothing but greatness and I'm so glad to have met her! She's taken photos of pretty much everything in my personal life: photos with my boyfriend (at the time), photos with my dog #1 & dog #2 and my boudoir photos. I absolutely LOVE how each set have come out!! Chelsea is so down to earth and relaxing to take photos with. She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, boosts your confidence and makes you smile big. Chelsea has become a great friend over the years and I'm always one to recommend her to ANYONE! She'll be sure to make you laugh and give great advice too. I love that she captures all the traditional pictures and those pinterest-y ones but also grabs those candids - A MUST!! A good photographer can capture those traditional pictures but a FANTASTIC one always gets the candids WHILE grabbing your good side ;) Do yourself a favor and BOOK HER, you won't regret it! :) read more

If you are searching for the most down to earth, above and beyond, knock your socks off photographer... PLEASE STOP! Chelsea is all that and so, so much more. I found Chelsea through my friend who was getting married and loved her but just wasn't quite in her budget (if this is the same for you, I encourage you to still pass on her info!) and the rest was history. My husband and I are VERY camera shy. We feel awkward, don't think we look good, all the things, but Chelsea (and Megan, one of her co-shooters) made us feel SO comfortable and honestly, our photos came out damn good! Chelsea was unbelievably flexible, rolled with all the punches, supported me and encouraged me through my absolute nightmare turned the best day of my life (Covid bride)! She created my timeline for my entire day, gave me advice on my make up during my trial to make it look better in photos, really became a wonderful friend and someone I trusted to help me make my day how I wanted it. She's a great listener of your wants and needs of how you want your photos to come out for your day with none of the car salesman pitches. If you are considering her, please check out her Instagram, there's really great information there and you can see all her badass work. 10/10 recommend. read more

Can't say enough great things about this incredible and talented photographer! Chels has been there for many of our special moments, from our wedding to yearly family photos throughout all the phases and changes of our lives. She has a way about her that puts the whole family at ease, and that's why we're delivered killer photos each and every time - because we're just being ourselves and she manages to capture those truly genuine moments (of course paired with her ability to time our shoots with perfect lighting and her overall unique style). Highly recommend and we'll continue using Chelsea over and over again. Love!! read more

Chelsea is ABSOLUTELY amazing! I was referred by a close friend who booked Chelsea for her engagement and wedding photos and they were so beautiful so I had to book her too! I booked Chelsea for an engagement session and she arrived early to our appointment, was set and ready to go quickly and made the process of finding the best spots efficient and painless. Chelsea was professional, fun, and was very aware of the right lighting and background that best complimented my fiancé and I. The overall quality of the photos we received was outstanding to say the least! We have so many to choose from to put in our house and send to family and friends. She was even able to tame our wild and silly dog for the most amazing shots of him! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with Chelsea, you will not be disappointed. I am so utterly excited to have her shoot our wedding photos and all of our major life events that we have in the future Thank you so much Chelsea, you're the best!!!!! read more

This review is long overdue, life after the wedding is truly a whirlwind, but we absolutely could not go without doing it. Chelsea was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. From the minute we told her we were interested, she offered to talk on the phone to see if we were a good fit for her photography style and was sending us past galleries to look through. Having already followed her Instagram for years before, I knew her light and romantic style was what I wanted for my wedding! :) She talked us through her services and worked with us to find the perfect package. We did both our engagement photos and wedding photos with her and I wouldn't have done it any other way. While she is already super warm and easy to get comfortable with, doing the engagement shoot helped us get used to being in front of the camera and learn what we liked and didn't like for our wedding day. She gave super great posing guidance and she had us laughing the whole time! Chelsea was always available for not only photography questions but other questions I had as well! She helped us create a timeline for the day, figure out our grand entrance, and even helped us scout locations for photos. She truly cares about her clients and the moments she is capturing. I never felt worried about photography with her in the driver's seat. Hire her and your day is in the best hands. Chelsea has it handled. :) read more

I met Chelsea a couple of years ago and since then she has done my Christmas, Professional, Engagement, Boudoir, and my Wedding photos!! This girl is the first and only person I think of when I want/need pictures done. Her positive attitude through out the shoots and willingness to accommodate ANY & ALL of my needs is what sets her apart. I don't think I've ever heard her say "no", she goes the extra mile to make you happy. Chelsea also has excellent editing skills and gets your pictures quick and ready to go. I'm pretty computer illiterate so navigating through photos needs to be easy. The site she uses to share is simple to access, save, and print from; which I LOVE! Aside from the pictures we plan and coordinate, I think I am most impressed with her candids. Chelsea really has the ability to catch those moments that would have passed on by if she wasn't there. Such a creative eye for photos that I never would have considered! Im always so excited with what she captures (laughs, tears, goofy moments) that weren't planned! Our wedding was obviously a major picture moment and my husband and I were so happy with the photos we were given. We can both say that it felt as if Chelsea was "our shadow" the whole night. Whenever I turned around she was there, camera ready, for every situation! Along with all of her talents, she's a gem to work with. Funny and sweet, both of our family and friends had nothing but kind words for our photographer and she fit in perfectly. Thank you Chelsea!! Expect a call as we get closer to Christmas! ;) read more

Chelsea captured every single moment that showed the love and joy of our day. The photos she captured couldn't have just been captured by any photographer. She focused on the real moments - the tears, the laughter, and the flower girl downing a bag of M&Ms during the ceremony Looking through our photos, we can feel what we felt on that day and all of the special moments that made the day ours. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process and we felt she really cared about us and making our wedding day perfect. I hunted for the perfect photographer for a while and I chose Chelsea because she was so authentic,and it immediately felt like she was my best friend that I asked to photograph our wedding rather than a stranger. We also really wanted someone who could capture the raw moments rather than just the staged moments and I could tell that was what she was all about-- having a ton of fun and telling the story of who we are as a couple rather than taking photos that any couple could fit into. Long before our date, she got to know us as a couple and kept in touch the months leading up to our wedding. I didn't realize how important that was until our wedding day came and it was the first time we were meeting Chelsea in person, but it felt like we already knew her so well. We were incredibly comfortable with her. Our photo session with just my husband and I was so fun and special. She did such a great job at directing us when we were taking the photos telling us exactly what to do, where to look, and how to stand making the whole thing super easy and enjoyable. She also kept things moving and didn't waste a single minute so we weren't away from the reception for longer than necessary which we appreciated so much. My entire family commented on how thorough Chelsea and her second shooter were, saying she was everywhere, capturing everything without ever feeling like she was getting in the way of what was happening. Exactly what you want in a photographer! For anyone looking for a photographer that is fun, captures the best real moments, and will truly tell the story of your day, Chelsea is it! I can not recommend her enough. read more

Chelsea was by far our favorite vendor! We were on wedding scenario Z due to COVID, fires, and a heat wave. Chelsea completely worked with us and stayed in contact throughout the whole thing. She listens to your concerns and listens to what you want! I can't say enough great things about Chelsea, she is one of the hardest working people I know, I mean, she worked our wedding on her birthday!! She gave us the most amazing photos that we will cherish forever and I'm so glad that we picked her! read more

Chelsea Smith is absolutely amazing. She was the photographer for my daughters wedding and was above and beyond amazing. She was diligent about insuring that all of the requested photos were done and done on time and accommodated special requests and spontaneous photos. And the greatest thing is you didn't even know she was there she was so great about capturing the action but not interrupting the moment. She will not disappoint. read more

I had a great experience with Chelsea. She took our Christmas photos and she did an amazing job.
