My approach to capturing your wedding day as a St. Simons Island Georgia Wedding photographer is all about preserving the moments you felt and the details you might have missed, like the way your groom looked at you while you weren’t watching, the joyful tears in your mother’s eyes, your first look with your father, and the quiet, in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours.
To ensure I can serve my couples in the best way possible, I offer one carefully curated wedding package designed to give you the full experience you deserve. From the big, emotional moments to the tiniest details that make your day so special, I’m here to document it all with intention, artistry, and heart. You’ve poured so much love into planning this day, and I want to give you a gallery of images that allows you to relive every second—beautifully, authentically, and timelessly.

Step one.
Let's be friends!
We believe wedding photography should be as unique as the love story it’s capturing—there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach around here! At Magnolia Legacy Photography, we serve a special kind of bride. The one who dreams of more than just beautiful pictures. She wants images that feel like her, filled with joy, authenticity, and timeless elegance.
That’s why we focus on more than just snapping photos—we create an experience that makes you feel cared for, confident, and completely present on your big day. Before we make things official, we take the time to get to know you, your story, and your vision to make sure we’re the perfect fit. If it feels like a match made in magnolia heaven, then we’ll move forward with booking and planning the magic!
Step Two.
Save the date!
Yay!! You’re officially a Magnolia Legacy Couple, this is where the fun really begins! Now, let’s make sure your wedding date is locked so we can turn this dream into reality. I’ll send over a custom online booking proposal where you can review your package, sign your contract, and pay your retainer to make everything officially official. Once that’s done, you’re officially an MLP Bride & Groom—cue the happy dance!
Step three.
engagement Session
Let the fun begin! Once you’re officially booked, we’ll get your engagement session on the calendar and don’t you worry one bit... I’ll walk you through everything! My goal is to make sure you both feel completely comfortable and like yourselves in front of the camera.
Within the first 20 minutes, you’ll be rocking it, I promise! I’ve never had a couple leave their session still feeling awkward. Even if you’re convinced you’re “not photogenic” or your fiancé claims to “hate photos,” just wait... you’ll be laughing, snuggling, and feeling like total naturals in no time!
After your session, you’ll be featured on the MLP Blog (because your love story deserves to be celebrated!), and you’ll receive your online gallery full of gorgeous, joy-filled images to download, share, and relive this sweet season over and over again. Let’s make some magic!
Step Four.
let's talk timeline!
Once we’re about eight weeks out from your big day, it’s time to get down to the details! I’ll work closely with you to make sure everything is perfectly planned so your wedding photography is seamless, stress-free, and absolutely stunning.
I love creating custom timelines for my MLP Couples because I want you to actually enjoy your day while making sure we capture all those dreamy portraits, fun moments with your favorite people, and gorgeous details that look straight out of a magazine. You know those wedding photos you’ve been pinning and swooning over? Yeah, those! With a little planning, we’ll make sure you have images just like that—only better, because they’ll be yours.
Step five.
it's wedding day!
It’s here!! Your wedding day has finally arrived, and it’s time to celebrate, soak it all in, and let me do what I do best—capturing every joyful, heartfelt, and beautiful moment! I believe your love story deserves to be told in full, which is why I never shoot less than 8 hours. This day is going to fly by, and I want to make sure you have every must-have moment and all the sweet, in-between memories that make your wedding yours. From the happy tears to the biggest laughs, I’ll be there capturing it all in a way that’s creative, timeless, and uniquely you.
One of my absolute favorite parts of the day? Portrait time with my newlyweds (hello, dreamy photos!) and getting to meet the family and friends who love you most! And because I know you’ll be dying to relive every second, your wedding will be featured on the MLP Blog the following Wednesday! No waiting around—just beautiful memories to swoon over while you’re still floating on cloud nine!

Chelsea with Magnolia Legacy was truly the best from our engagement photos all the way through our wedding send-off! She was so thoughtful, intentional, and caring throughout the entire process, and it was obvious how much she genuinely loves what she does. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, paid attention to every little detail, and went above and beyond to make our day special and stress-free. Not only did she capture beautiful photos, but she also helped keep everything running smoothly and made sure we were able to fully enjoy every moment! We are so grateful for the memories she captured and could not have asked for a better photographer in south georgia. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and truly invested in her couples, Chelsea is your girl! We cannot recommend Magnolia Legacy enough! 🕊️💚
