Chelsea is an AMAZING photographer! She has an eye for all the details and will go above and beyond to get the right shot! She did my engagement photos and wedding photos! Through the whole process she constantly went the extra mile, always reaching out and confirming details. She got to know myself and my husband along with all my bridal parties names and our families names. She came early just because she wanted to and she continued to take photos even past the time she had to. She even danced and had a great time at the wedding with us! You can truly tell she loves what she does and has a true gift. I cannot recommend her enough! She will be my go to person anytime I need pictures!
