Hi Friends! I'm Chelsea!

I believe 100% that true love is totally real, that happiness is a choice & that ANYTHING is possible. I am a dreamer, a "do-er," a hopeless romantic, & an optimist. I believe that dogs can cure a bad day, calm the spirit and teach you to keep things in perspective. You might hear me refer to "my kids", Milo, my 4lb miniature yorkie & Liberty Dea, the sweetest blue weimeraner you'll ever meet. I also have a hot new fiance who makes me feel like every love song- ever was written about us. My other obsessions include soaking up the sun by lake or any body of water really, Pizza & caffeine - all day everyday & any time spent with family and friends. Most days, you’ll find me in jeans & an oversized sweater or shirt, ready to get outside, play with the pups, or working up a storm in my other obsession: photographing & curating your wedding.
Yep, I'm pretty much a 90yr old woman when it comes to hobbies. but I'm gunna be fantastic at being retired ;)

MANIFESTO
REAL STYLE IS
EFFORTLESS
Photography is my medium to celebrate life and love the people around me. Being a photographer is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Besides my skill with a camera, my clients appreciate my ability to make them feel comfortable and at ease in front of my lenses - so your wedding day or portrait session feels more like hanging out with a long lost BFF. Photography has brought me clients that become friends who share some of the most important moments in their lives for me to capture. My goal is always to find the beauty in the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between.
My style? It’s timeless, elegant, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you to be yourselves as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
I'm based out of Brookings, SD but photograph a lot of love all over the midwest! My passport is always current, so wherever you are based, if you're a free spirit who loves modern, romantic photography - I'm your girl. Let's get coffee!
