I have been dreading writing this review. Not because my experience was bad, but because my experience with Chelsa was so amazing I truly don’t think my words could do her justice.
This woman is the most talented photographer I have ever come across. Not only does she have THE eye but she also has the personality and professionalism to match. Finding all three in a photographer is not common. If you are looking for “The One” that checks all the boxes, the boxes you didn’t know you wanted and literally captured every instant of your big day.... STOP LOOKING. You found your other half and now - you found your photographer.
I am a tough critic. I’ve had many many different photographers take photos for me. I have spent $0 and thousands. I cannot express to you enough that this review didn’t come across your phone or computer by chance. You need Chelsa for your big day. Hell, you need her for your engagement photos, boudoir shoot, wedding photos and one day your family photos too. Her ability to make you comfortable, look fan-fricken-tastic and make you laugh is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen or experienced before.
If you’re still reading it’s time you stop. Book this young lady. She is the real deal and you’re welcome ahead of time. You will not regret it one bit.
Ps: pricing wise - I flew this young lady across the country to shoot my wedding. Not only was she STILL less expensive then a local photographer... but she was 100x better.

Chelsa was such a professional and made our wedding day perfect! We didn't need to worry about the photoshoot at all, she guided us through everything—even small details in posing—and suggested great spots in Las Vegas downtown :) Chelsa is trustworthy, friendly and fun! We'd definitely recommend her, the photos turned out very good.
Any questions?

Chelsa photographed our elopement in downtown vegas and she was the absolute best! She made it so fun and so easy! We just wanted a couple good pictures to hang on our walls and we ended up with the most beautiful collection to remember forever. 11/10 love them & love her.

From our very first meeting I knew Chelsa would be an exceptional choice for a wedding photographer. I was admittedly a high maintenance bride with lots of opinions on how I wanted our weekend to be photographed — Chelsa managed to exceed all of my expectations! Communication between us was always efficient; whether it was speaking with me about contract details, discussing shot lists, or talking me down during stressful moments, Chelsa was always right there when I needed a chat. She helped me narrow down my aesthetic vision during our meetings, and on the day of she executed all of our previously discussed shots flawlessly! Her eye for capturing movement and lighting in such a timeless, romantic yet fun way produced photographs I will cherish for the rest of my life. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful in front of her lens, and really made me feel like I could trust her with something so very important to me. My husband also felt at ease in her presence despite his reticence to be in front of a camera most of his life. Her professionalism with dealing with all of my vendors and family were so appreciated. I received all of my photographs in a timely manner, and I could not be happier with how she edited each photograph. Her attention to detail is unmatched. I will always cherish my time with Chelsa and consider her the best photographer in Las Vegas if not the United States. She is due her flowers and you would be a fool to not hire her.

What can I say about Chelsa that doesn't already shine through her pictures?! Not only does she bring her amazing personality to every shoot but she makes you feel like you've known her your entire life! There is no way to be uncomfortable in front of the camera when Chelsa is on the other side. She is willing to tell you the ways to get your best photos and make sure everything you want is covered. I was lucky enough to have her travel with us to Iceland & the photos she did for us were beyond what I could've imagined. Any questions about photos/lighting/color were answered right away and she allowed me to construction a mood board for the vision of the photos to which she executed perfectly! I wish we could get married all over again just to work with her! She was not just our wedding photographer but an incredible additon to our wedding party, she fit in like one of the family! I've loved her work for years! I would recommened Chelsa a hundred times over and over to anyone looking to book for their wedding!! I still look at my wedding photos everyday and can't get over them.

My husband and I eloped in Vegas, and we were so fortunate to have Chelsa as our photographer. We wanted our pictures to be unique and to capture the spirit of a Vegas elopement, and we were immediately drawn to Chelsa's artistic style when looking at her past work. She met us at our hotel and got lots of great shots beforehand, accompanied us to the Graceland Chapel and photographed our ceremony, then took us to Fremont Street, where she knew all of the best spots! Seriously, how would we have known about the hidden neon room in Corduroy and what other photographer would have taken us there? We felt super comfortable in front of the camera with Chelsa, and the pictures she took are SO much fun. She has a great eye and also gave us direction to make the pictures look that much better. Not only did we get 200+ pictures that we will cherish forever, but we also really enjoyed Chelsa as a person. She made the whole experience fun from start to finish, and we hope we have the opportunity to work with her again sometime!

If you’re looking for an experienced, FUN, and knowledgeable photographer look no further. Chelsa is extremely familiar with the Vegas area and knows all of the best spots, and times of day, to go to get the best shot. She is patient, kind, fun, and makes you feel like you’re taking photos with your friends!! 10/10 would recommend :)

We hired Chelsa to photograph our last minute wedding in Vegas on a trip from the UK. She was so professional throughout the booking process, keeping us well informed about all the steps in the process with photography in the chapel. Chelsa facilitated some really perfect pictures, knowing exactly where to take us to get the candid and fun shots which really reflect us as a couple. Some of our personal faves were in the record store at old vegas and the road crossings :) thank you so much Chelsa for making our special day perfect!
Love Naomi and Tommy x

When my husband and I eloped in Vegas, we knew still wanted to make the day feel super special and Chelsa was such a major part of that! Although we didn't meet her until our ceremony, she made us feel like we had known her forever and she was there to celebrate with us while capturing amazing moments from our wedding day. Her pictures of our day feel intimate, yet fun and I can feel the love and joy between my husband and I every time I look at the photos. Highly recommend Chelsa for your wedding photography needs, and for a good laugh while you take those amazing pictures!

Highly recommend Chelsa! We were out of towners and found her through Instagram and she was so easy to work with and so communicative! She was punctual and able to control my rowdy party of 18 in old vegas(quite the task in this family in this location haha)! The photos turned out incredible and taking them was also a fun time. It feels like you’re with a friend! 10/10

I honestly don’t know where to begin with Chelsa! She was an incredible presence at our wedding and we loved having her as our photographer. She helped make the day go by smoother and we had fun taking all our photos! We received our gallery shortly after the wedding and I’m having trouble picking out a few to frame because they’re all so wonderful! She was able to capture entire moments in her photos that we’ll cherish forever! She has a wonderful eye for artistic and beautiful photographers and her skills can not be overstated! If you’re considering a photographer in Vegas, she’s the best!

Chelsa was fantastic! Her super laidback and friendly attitude is so great on a day when you’re feeling super nervous. Not to mention she can take some incredible photographs!
The inspiration pictures we sent to Chelsa really came to life, it was hard to narrow down our favourites. For the ceremony and shoot afterwards, she was the best hype woman ever and took us to some fantastic locations. We’re incredibly grateful that we had you to shoot our day Chelsa, thank you so much. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough!

Chelsa was the absolute best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for! She always made me and my (now husband) feel so comfortable. She is so talented and kind!
After our engagement shoot (which she included in the price of the wedding shoot), all of friends and family asked who our photographer was! They said they were the most gorgeous photos they had ever seen. Chelsa knows all the absolute best spots in Vegas to make you happy.
For our wedding, she was so great at capturing all the fun and silly moments that I didn’t know I wanted to see till after the day! Everything was perfect. She made sure to capture absolutely everything I had added to my “must have” list- and more! Our hotel venue also had a photographer there on the day, but my husband and I could not believe how much better Chelsa’s shots were in terms of quality. We were so grateful we hired her and did not go with the hotel’s photos. I would hire her again in a heartbeat- and so should you!
Thank you Chelsa! We love you!

I contracted Chelsa for our engagement pictures in Las Vegas, Nevada during our mini-getaway. Chelsa is a fantastic photographer, and I would recommend her to anybody in Las Vegas and in the US. She was responsive from the first phone call and was able to get me straightforward pricing for my engagement. On the day of the engagement, she coordinated the perfect spot and worked with the crowd to make sure she had the perfect shot at the moment of the proposal. She also knows the best angles for Las Vegas photography. We were engaged 2 months ago and since then I have had compliments on the photos and the event from friends and family weekly since then. This made it truly special for my fiancée and I to always reminisce on. Once again, she is the best photographer.

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day! From the very first inquiry email, Chelsa has been an absolute rock star! She's answered dozens of questions and planning requests, was extremely flexible with the different locations and times, fantastic poses and ideas - just all around amazing! I would not change a single thing about our day or our experience with her. She captured the magic, added her own to ours and it all turned out beyond our expectations. From absolutely hilarious and silly, to serious, to passionate - Chelsa captured our special day in the most magical way. 5 stars all around!!

Words can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Chelsa is! I traveled from Ohio to Elope on Nevada and I wanted a professional photographer with a specific style and edit. I found Chelsa and couldn’t be more thankful that I did. Her style of pictures are mesmerizing and unique. She gives you an alternative, candid, natural vibe to her photography. It was exactly what I was looking for and I was blown away when I received my pictures, they were absolutely stunning and beautiful! Not only are her pictures amazing, the actual session itself was perfect. I’m very awkward in front of a camera but she made it so much fun and made me feel comfortable so I could just relax and have fun and be myself with my now wife. She also is full of fun ideas and was very knowledgeable of tons of places for the perfect picture. The best thing about her photography is that she doesn’t limit the amount of edits you receive! If it’s a good shot you get it. We received over 100 pictures from a 2 hour session. If you’re looking for a photographer she is 100% the one to choose. She’s fun, flexible, efficient, and professional!

Chelsa is absolutely the best!!! She did an absolutely beautiful job in every single photo (and trust me, we did a lot of photos 🤣). She made the entire day so perfect for us ; from the photos, the poses, the locations, everything was amazing. Not knowing any photographers going in to Vegas she was fantastic from day one. Including dealing with is changing the date like 4 times due to covid.
She has a fantastic personality that made all the stress disappear and the day was a blast.
We cannot say enough about her! Would use her for any photo opportunities!!! She’s amazing!!!!!!

My wife and I eloped in Las Vegas, and used Chelsa as our photographer. We had the most incredible experience, from the setting, to the ease of posing, to getting our pictures quickly and tons of them, everything was AMAZING!
Another thing to add as she took us in incredibly short notice. It was spur of the moment and we are so blessed that she was able to capture it in such a unbelievable way!
Could not recommend more!

We had a destination wedding in Las Vegas in June 2020. It was a small wedding but absolutely perfect, including the photography done by Chelsa. She captured the ceremony and reception and all the little moments within. We received all of our photos in about a week, most in color and some in black and white. We love all of them. Chelsa was great to work with and and we are thrilled that we picked her to capture our special day.

Chelsa is amazing, if you haven’t booked her yet and are reading this, make the best decision of your life and hire her immediately! I reached out to her with less than 5 hours notice to photograph our Vegas elopement. She was at the chapel when we arrived (with our cat and old dog) and her energy was so magnetic, we instantly felt like we had known her a lifetime. She perfectly captured our entire night and even had really cute poses planned for us that turned out better than I could have ever imagined. As two camera shy people who didn’t even do engagement photos, Chelsa made us SO comfortable and we couldn’t be more thankful for her direction. On top of being beyond talented, she also had our photos ready for us within days and promised not to post our secret elopement until after our “real wedding” two months later on the East Coast. Hiring Chelsa was the best decision we ever made and it will be yours too.

She was careful to capture every little detail that made our big day so special. The photos are so gorgeous and I can’t stop looking at them over and over again. If you’re looking for a photographer for any kind of event, Chelsa is your girl.
