meet the photographer

hi, I'm Chelsey 

I’m Chelsey, and I’m the owner and lead photographer behind Chelsey Marie Studio.

If I had to describe my approach in a few words, it would be clean, bright, emotional, and timeless. I want your photos to feel beautiful and polished, but never so perfect that they stop feeling like you.

I’m a big believer in letting your wedding day actually happen. I’ll give you direction when you need it (especially if you’re thinking, “Wait… what do we do with our hands?”), but I’m not going to make you spend your entire day posing for photos. Some of my favorite images happen when you forget I’m even there.

I’m looking for the little things...the way you look at each other, your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing it on the dance floor, the details you obsessed over, and all of those in-between moments you probably didn’t even realize were happening.

My editing is bright and true to life, with warm, natural tones that keep your images feeling fresh without chasing trends. I want you to look at your photos years from now and still love exactly what you see.

At the end of the day, I want your gallery to feel like  your wedding; not a styled version of someone else’s. Beautiful, emotional, a little imperfect, and completely yours.

Because those are the photographs you’ll actually want to come back to.
