Elopement + WEDDING Photography
DUH, BABE! That's because it's focused on catering to traditional weddings at traditional venues for traditional couples. If you don't fit that mold, join the club, babe! Listen, we're not here to do it like everyone else. We're here to do your day your way. No seating arrangements, no chair covers, no awkward receptions with a DJ playing that one P!nk song from when we were in middle school. Just you, your love and your favorite dive bar? Theatre? Parking lot where you first made out? YOU NAME IT! I'm there. This is for the freaks who just wanna fucking get married (and look good af doing it)!
HERE FOR A GOOD TIME, NOT A LONG TIME

Now that I've made my beliefs crystal fucking clear, let me introduce myself. I'm Chelsea. I grew up on a dirt road in the deep trenches of the Ozarks, feeling like a fucking alien in my tiny town of 700. I was that weird, poor kid in school that was often avoided or teased because I was different. Did I hiss at a couple folks along the way? Maybe. Fuck it. Despite being an outcast for most of my life, I've always followed my heart and passions, and would you look at that? It's led me here to you. So, babe, if you've ever felt the way I've felt, you're my kinda couple. I see you. I celebrate you. And I can’t fucking wait to turn your love story into the weird kind of art you’ll never stop staring at (and will make all your guests go, "these are WEDDING photos?").
Do anything other than whatever the hell you want to!
Invite your whole fucking family
Wear a white dress or a black tux
Have a religious ceremony
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO....
take it from me, babe. it's your day.

Kind Words from my favorite OUTCASTS
- STEVEN + ALLISON
"My husband and I are music loving, kinda punk, moody and wear-too-much -black kinda people and that has shone in all our photos."
- CIERA + LAUREN
"Don't hesitate, don't wait another second, book with Chelsea. Not only did she put us completely at ease, but we felt like we were taking photos with a friend (with a really good camera) and that sort of dynamic really comes through. Can't recommend her enough!"
- SOPHIE
"One of the most talented good time gals I know. She will make you look cool as hell!"
Just between you and me, babe… I’ve had enough of dry-ass wedding cake, awkward prayers before vows, and traditions that feel more like obligations. If you're planning a day that actually feels like you—however wild, chill, messy, or fucking unhinged that may be—I’m already in.
Weddings don’t have to be a performance. Let’s throw out the script and make something that actually matters. You know where to find me, babe!
READY TO DO SHIT YOUR WAY?
