I wish there were 10 stars to give. Chelsea and Andrew are true gems. They are an incredible team that works in tandem with each other so beautifully. Chelsea was a constant calm t...
hrough out the day. Reminding me to breathe and checking in during photos if I need a break from being overwhelmed. She is someone who is an instant friend and kind soul. Not only are they incredible human beings but quite possibly better photographers. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are breath taking. They have an incredible ability to capture honest and pure moments and using natural light to their advantage. I could not have been more grateful for them. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Chelsea and Andrew were an absolute pleasure to work with and honestly their work speaks for itself! The originally photographed my best friend's wedding in 2023 and was so happy w...
ith their photos that I knew when the time came for my wedding, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a photographer. Chelsea and Andrew felt like our friends and made us so comfortable during our engagement photoshoot and multi-day wedding which you can see in the amazing work that they've done. They were incredibly professional and since we had a Filipino/Indian/American wedding they asked us a bunch of questions to ensure all of the cultural moments were respected and captured. I'll always recommend Chelsea and Andrew they are the best!
Chelsea shot out engagement photos and they were absolutely perfect. We wanted a photographer who had an artistic eye and didn’t dull color with editing. She captured our love wond...
erfully. We were both nervous about getting professional shots done, because we had never done it before, and felt beautiful and celebrated the entire time. We can’t wait for her and Andrew to photograph our wedding. They are the best!
Let’s start at the beginning. September 2023. Both my then fiancé and I had researched too many potential photographers for our wedding in June, and no one felt right. We were clos...
e to losing hope that we’d find someone that would fit what we were searching for. Lo and behold, when we found (admittedly, Wes did) Chelsea and Andrew, everything felt different. Their photos were beautiful, capturing color and joyful moments in a way that felt authentic and unique to their individual style. After our initial phone call, we knew they were the photographers for us. We could feel that Chelsea and Andrew cared about us as people, and didn’t see us as just clients.
Wes and I are visual people (AKA we’re extremely particular, difficult humans) and we knew photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. For the engagement shoot, I had put together a whole vision board with different scenes and examples for each location. Chelsea and Andrew were able to connect why I liked what I like and translated it into our final photos. With their own spin and flavor on looks we liked, we were completely blown away with the results.
One thing I didn’t expect and am so grateful for is how much they valued getting to know us. With a lot of wedding planning, it can feel super transactional, hurried, and depersonalized. Through coffee dates and Instagram DMs shared back and forth over the course of 10 months, we felt ready for the best possible experience come our wedding day, and to have it documented by our friends Chelsea and Andrew.
Wes and I felt high-strung and full of nerves on our wedding day. And when we both saw them that day, it is still hard to describe the feeling of relief and ease that they immediately gave to us. Not only did they do an incredible job keeping everything moving and coordinated, but they protected us from moments that felt overwhelming and helped us keep our peace. And because they knew us so well, they were able to act as advocates for us and sense what we wanted before we even knew ourselves. And as much of a control freak as I am, I knew I could trust them 1,000% and just allow them to do their thing. As with our first call, we could feel how much they cared about us in those moments.
When we got our final photos, I could not stop smiling. I couldn’t stop looking at them. They are breathtaking beyond my wildest dreams. We have such an incredible eclectic mix of both stylized shots and authentic moments. The walls in our home are and will be covered by photography from Chelsea and Andrew.
As bittersweet as I am for this chapter to come to a close, we will look forward to having their sweet family in our lives and continue to have them capture our life’s biggest moments in the years ahead.
Don’t overthink it. Go with Chelsea!
Chelsea & Andrew are absolutely phenomenal! I admittedly reached out to them before we even considered venues because I’ve been obsessed with Chelsea's photography for years. The...
y are both the sweetest people alive- They're both so genuine and kind. We love them! They made the entire wedding seamless and so much fun! Andrew and Chelsea are so incredibly talented! All of their pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to book them for future sessions!!
Chelsea & Andrew were absolutely amazing from the first time we spoke. They were by far the easiest and best people to work with during our wedding process. Chelsea is such a sweet...
and genuine person who makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, regardless of how shy you may be. Both Andrew and Chelsea are so talented and creative. Our favorite thing about working with them is their realistic approach to shooting our wedding. Their main priority is to find the best way to capture moments and memories for you, rather than just get “Instagram-worthy” shoots.
We had so many delays and bumps along the road (due to no fault of theirs) but they were so accommodating and flexible. We know that we will always choose to work with Chelsea and Andrew for any photography in the future.
Chelsea and Andrew were amazing! Down to earth, kind and extremely professional. They made me and my fiancé feel comfortable and like we were hanging with friends. The photos are g...
orgeous and the whole process was very seamless and easy!
Choosing someone to capture photos that you have to look at for a lifetime is no easy task, unless you know Chelsea & Andrew. They are true masters of their craft- they see how spa...
ces, light, and people can be brought together in ways you would never think of. Chelsea often saying "here, do this - I know it sounds weird"...normally turns into your favorite shot. Their style of photography is truly unique and beautiful. On top of being crazy talented photographers, they are top of the line humans. They are genuine, selfless, kind, and so easy to get along with! They are the type of people who show up for you in their darkest of times and show you what strength is! We are so lucky to have them as our lifelong photographers and friends.
Not only did Chelsea and Andrew give us a set of the most beautiful photos of our special day, they are two of the most beautiful humans we’ve ever met. Their passion for photograp...
hy is unmatched and their work product truly reflects that. We immediately felt at ease with them during an experience that is typically awkward for most people. They went above and beyond to capture the entire day and night in such a breathtaking way that I’ve had to nearly wrestle my phone out of people’s hands because they can’t stop scrolling through the pictures. I will be calling them to document many more stops along our life journey and I highly recommend you do the same!
I did not use Chelsea for my wedding but I did use her for family photos and it was amazing! I know her work from being in the wedding industry and when my original family photogr...
apher cancelled there was no hesitation in Chelsea’s end to step in for us on the same day. These photos mean so much to us and I am so happy with how our session went. Definitely hire her for your engagement/wedding/family photos!
Even though her images seem very beautiful, we did not hire Chelsea for our wedding, because she lacked organizational skills. She had us reschedule the initial meeting 3 times and...
was not willing to work with us or even meet us halfway. We saw a red flag in this and pursued another photographer.
I do not know where to start...how can you with such a powerful and loving team like Chelsea and her husband Andrew! They are the most kind, creative, professional and just down to...
earth people I have ever worked with. They became quick friends with me and my fiance (now husband) and we knew immediately they were the perfect photographers for us. We chose them for both engagement and wedding photos, and were blown away by the love, life and effortless beauty they were able to capture of our big day. They were so flexible with our schedules and I even got sick a day before our engagement shoot and they were so understanding and happily arranged a new date with us. Now, not to forget in all of this, just the pure raw and magical moments they capture!! Your wedding day goes by so fast, and you only really remember the big moments, and being whisked away by guests and event planners you miss alot, naturally! Well, when chelsea texted me just a few sneak photos (only 2 days after the wedding!) I was in the store with my husband and just started crying, All the memories that felt like they went by in a flash were captured in these pictures! And in such a tender and raw way. The colors, energy and beauty were vibrating in every picture, you could feel the love and joy of the day. I could go on and on about them, and I still to this day get asked who my photographers were because people have never seen such beautiful work. Thats it, period. Chelsea and Andrew are unlike anyone else out there, they have something special that shows in their work and also just who they are as a couple and team. They are offically our photographers for life! And cant wait to use them for maternity photos😍😍 (in a few years).
Chelsea and Andrew were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I am SO happy that we chose them for our wedding photographers. I knew I wanted to go with a photographer who had a ...
natural-style for photographs, and I did not want super posy pictures. Chelsea's communication right from the beginning was amazing, and she assured me that my vision of having natural, sweet moments would be executed, and she could not have been more right! Chelsea worked with me from the beginning to create a package that was right for us, they are one of the more reasonably priced photographers out there, and they are DEFINITELY better in all-around quality than the more expensive ones. Their laid back and flexible personalities were absolutely perfect, especially with our loud, vibrant group who can come off a bit strong and opinionated. They were super accommodating, and managed to capture moments and emotions that I did not even know could be captured in a photograph. The photos came absolutely beautiful, and I am so grateful for all that Chelsea and Andrew did for us throughout the process, from the planning stages, to our actual wedding day, and even after. They gave us a TON of digital prints after editing, and they even sent the photos to us in an adorably packaged USB. Not to mention, the time it took for them to edit and send us the pictures was INCREDIBLY quick. Everyone raves about the beautiful quality of our wedding photos, and I have to admit, I honestly did not think pictures could be this stunning. Highly recommend Chelsea Diane Photography for anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with, communicative, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, persistent, and dedicated to delivering amazing memories! Wish I could throw an event again just to hire them again!
Chelsea Diane and Andrew Michael are so incredibly talented. They have the ability to catch beauty at rest, in motion, and create beautiful moments --all in their photography. They...
see things that the average person does not and we were lucky enough that they shared their gifts with us on our wedding. We had the pleasure of first meeting Chelsea and Andrew in October after we had exchanged a few e-mails and booked them. We did an engagement shoot which I was initially nervous about because I do not like to be in pictures but Chelsea's warm personality quickly put my nerves at ease. We genuinely enjoyed our whole time with them (and their new puppy Henry) and all the while my husband and I started to get more loose and relaxed on camera and the pictures turned out very beautiful. Engaged couples, if you are on the fence about engagement photos-- go for it, it is worth it. Especially if you normally feel awkward getting your picture taken like I do. It was extremely helpful to have done the engagement shoot before the wedding and bonus we got some really lovely pictures! Leading up the wedding, Chelsea was so sweet to check in periodically and ask questions about the wedding. She also would post a few of our engagement photos on her social media in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding which was so special and helped heighten our excitement. On our wedding day when Chelsea and Andrew first arrived, it was like as if long lost friends arrived! I was SO excited to see her because of how sweet she is and how much she cares about her clients--she really feels like your long lost BFF! She and Andrew were also so flexible when our timeline and our picture list had to be shifted on the fly. After a 10 hour day shooting our wedding and long drive home, Chelsea and Andrew got up early to edit and send us a couple of shots from our day (before they left to shoot ANOTHER wedding that same day) so we would have them before we left on our honeymoon. They go above and beyond for their clients! We received our pictures within a month after our wedding. We have heard others who do not get their photos for up to 6 months after their wedding so we were especially excited and appreciative. We highly recommend Chelsea Diane Photography- their exceptional work speaks for itself but take this from us, they captured every element of our wedding perfectly and were a dream to work with.
First, Chelsea Diane's work is beautiful. She takes artistic and lovely shots that you won't get with a standard wedding photographer.
I experienced a number of problems and iss...
ues with Chelsea's professionalism both before and after the wedding..
I requested six specific shots from my wedding day, and lots of candids with smiling faces. She did not provide two of the specific shots, both of which occurred during times when there was nothing else of note going on.
Our contract with her states that she would provide "full reception coverage." She did not take pictures of dinner. She hardly took pictures of anything besides dancing at the reception. She did not take any table shots, meaning I don't have pictures of many of the guests at our wedding. By her own admission, she did not take photos during a full half of the activities between the hours of 4-8pm (none of dinner, and perhaps 2 photos of the reception that wasn't dancing).
We requested a partial refund as she did not fulfill her end of the contract. She refused compliance with our request. Towards the end, she would not respond to me and would only reply to my husband. All we got was a half-hearted seeming apology and a long list of excuses.
She did give us over 700 photos, which was in the range of 600-1000 shots she said she would give us. The editing work on these is vibrant and what I was looking for my wedding photos to be. I just wish I had the photos I thought I was paying for.
