Chelsey Joy Photography

multiple plans (including adverse weather plans), set up photo permits, and quickly organized all logistics. Her photos are also amazing! We love the aesthetic and can't recommend her enough. Thank you Chelsey!

nted her out - she did such a good job at ensuring I was completely surprised. She had scoped out the location beforehand, so she already had spots picked out where she wanted to take photos and expertly choreographed my fiancé and I. She was so sweet as well; she was so respectful of the fact that it was such a personal moment for us and made sure to prioritize our experience. In addition to being a great photographer, she is a sweet person who I was happy to walk around and chat with. The pictures that she has gotten back to us are absolutely gorgeous, and I feel so lucky to have such a special moment captured so beautifully. Everything was perfect, and I could not be more thankful.

knowledge of the venue and our sunset pictures are amazing!

he captured all the key moments beautifully and brought in a great second photographer on wedding day as well! The photos were amazing and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Chelsey!!

s as a couple, what we wanted for pictures and went out of her way to make us comfortable. She made us feel relaxed during all the photos, and the end product was beautiful. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

ready morning of at my parents and she came to get the initial getting ready photos and the whole day after! I was thrilled to receive some sneak peeks a week after my wedding! Chelsea will not disappoint her photos are simply amazing!

my fiancé and I on that initial phone call and throughout the entire process. It was evident that she wanted to make sure we felt comfortable with her in order to capture beautiful photos on our day. She was thorough, communicative and made our elopement day even more special! She captured beautiful photos and provided a sneak peek within a week of our special day. I also really appreciated the recommendations she made on photo albums and framing - it’s clear she wants us to actually enjoy the photos that we invested in! I recommend hiring Chelsey for your photography needs, and she’s an absolute must-hire if you’re looking to elope!

the perfect spot for the proposal and told me exactly where to be. She even got there early and cleared the area when she saw us coming so that we could have our special moment. Highly recommend working with her for anyone looking for an engagement shoot!

engagement photo shoot. The pictures turned out beautiful and we cannot wait to continue to work with her for our wedding!

res, knew the poses & lighting & locations for the good shots, included all our friends and family (even our doggo), & then edited each one so precisely. She got the pictures back to us so quickly too & we were able to relive the moment all over again as she captured the moment so candidly and beautifully. I later learned she even took time out of her busy schedule to meet up with my boyfriend beforehand to make sure the location & lighting would be perfect for our moment. She is so talented, which is obviously important, but she is also just a good person which makes it all even better!

time, place, and set-up over a few sessions to make sure everything was perfect. She's professional, knowledgeable, and fantastic at her job. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer to capture there next special moment!

s and — for me as a bride — that was just as important! We also really enjoyed the “date night” viewings and the survey. Seeing some of the answers later on in the Instagram sneak peak was amazing 🥹

s with her professionalism, organized system, and skill. With the seemingly never ending details and to-do lists that accompany weddings, she supports her clients with checklists, tools, and reminders to take that weight off of your planning plate. Then, the day of, she beautifully captures not only the moment itself, but also the feelings and energy. Her personable nature helps put you at ease when you’re not that comfortable in front of a camera, and I’m looking forward to the years in the future where, through her photos, we’ll be transported back to our day and feel all the joy again.

mpared to her preparedness and skill during the wedding itself. It is a strange experience to do all of this planning and work ahead of time for the day to just sort of run itself, but Chelsey made it so that we didn't have to worry about a single thing during our wedding day and could just enjoy ourselves. The photos turned out beautifully, and captured so many memories that we will cherish forever!

ure that we were on the same page before the proposal. On top of this, the pictures she took were incredible! She managed to capture our joy and happiness and somehow made us both look like models in the process! I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a professional photographer!!

uld need from us. She includes an engagement photo session with all her wedding packages, which meant that we were already comfortable with her and with posing for the camera before the wedding day, which really took some stress out of the equation. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous. They are so luminous and filled with light. Chelsea was up for getting some more unusual shots: we climbed a tree for the engagement photos, and she got right in the middle of the horah to catch some great action shots of the dancing. My mom (mother of the bride) called me three days in a row after we got the photos to tell me that she had looked through them again and loved them even more than she did the day before!

osal she did a great job of keeping it a surprise when we showed up to the spot we'd picked. The photos of the moment itself were perfect, and the ones we took afterwards were fantastic. She did a great job of communicating with me leading up to the proposal and she showed up early to both the walkthrough and the day of the proposal. I would highly recommend Chelsey for any engagement photos!

wkward lol but she guided us the entire shoot. She was very helpful in creating what was basically our wedding day schedule. I cannot believe how organized and relaxed our wedding was. We have heard horror stories and how everyone is glad the stress is over from wedding planning. Safe to say, Chelsea made our lives and wedding day so perfect as she served as a great asset on our special day. We definitely recommend her 100000000000000% and we will definitely use her services in the near future. Our engagement photos turned out perfectly and we cannot wait to see our wedding photos in a few weeks. Chelsea you are amazing and we are forever grateful for your kindness and beautiful work. Thank you for all that you are. Can’t wait to work with you again. Thank you, Monica, Stephanie, & Fur Babies <3

t the wedding planning process, purchasing photo permits for us, and even creating our entire day-of timeline that we passed along to the DJ. She's such a fun and calming presence on the wedding day which makes it easier to relax during the photos. She delivered over 1,200 edited photos to us before the date promised in the contract (when we were expecting 600), and we couldn't believe how well she captured every little detail of our day. This review doesn't give Chelsey justice. If you're getting married, you need to get on her calendar ASAP!

with how they turned out! We will be looking back at these memories she captured for years to come. Not only is Chelsey a phenomenal photographer, she is extremely organized and that made the whole process way less stressful! Chelsey created a schedule with our input and we reviewed it with her in advance, which was quite helpful. We are also very happy with her second photographer, which help capture more special moments of our wedding day. Chelsey is easy to work with, kind, and really listens to what we valued for our special day. From engagement session to our wedding day to receiving our heirloom album, we are so glad we went with Chelsey Joy Photography!

shoot turned out absolutely lovely, and this is coming from someone who is *not* typically enthused about having her picture taken! She has been communicative, supportive, and quick with every part of this process so far, and it has me looking forward to all she will capture on the wedding day itself!

t in our process! She felt like more than just our photographer because we could tell she really cared! Our engagement and wedding pictures are beautiful and we couldn’t be any happier with them! The lighting looks so natural and she really captured who we are as a couple! One of my favorite things about our experience was that I didn’t notice her at my wedding! During our ceremony, dinner and reception, I barely saw her and I loved that because I never felt like I was in front of the camera - I just got to party on like no one was watching! We highly recommend her!

nts during the day. Chelsey was very organized the day of the event and had planning sessions with us prior to the day to make sure everything went smoothly. She is also very kind and easy to work with which made taking pictures for hours much easier. Would highly recommended for Chelsey Joy Photography!

re like a friend than just someone we hired, and that was really important to us when choosing a photographer. Her work is stunning and we now have so many pictures that we will cherish forever. We had her take a few photos of our 1 year old son as well and she impressed us by capturing several great photos of him (he is a toddler who is SO difficult to photograph)! We are so excited that she is our wedding photographer as well and cannot wait to see the amazing pictures she will take on our big day. We highly recommend Chelsey!

ime my husband and I took professional pictures and we were nervous. But Chelsey makes you feel so comfortable and the pictures prove it! Our wedding photos are amazing and the day was captured perfectly. She is soo easy to work with, flexible, super responsive and helped everything run smoothly on our wedding day!! I would highly recommend this photographer to help capture any of your future events—thank you Chelsey!!

et and kind to us for our situation. When we could no longer take the original route we wanted, she was completely understanding and empathic, she even surprised us with sweet gifts. She is not "just" a photographer she is so much more than that. We recently took our Save the Date photos and that was our first time meeting her, and she was so fun to work with and she made it so easy, because even though my husband and I never had professional photos done before, it was so seamless and exciting. She's the best! <3

wedding day - she managed to be professional and keep things moving along while also being calm and a reassuring presence. We absolutely love our photographs and will treasure her work for years to come. We've shared some of our photos with loved ones and so many have commented on what a great photographer we had - we couldn't agree more! Chelsey is exceptional - we highly recommend her!

, and knew exactly the right shots to get. Additionally, the information and suggestions Chelsey sent before the engagement shoot were so helpful - what to wear, what colors & patterns work with the camera, and location ideas. As someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera, my anxiety for having my pictures taken at my upcoming wedding has decreased significantly. I can't wait to see the beautiful photos she'll capture on our wedding day!

fessional and just a great person to work with. When we looked through Chelsey's portfolio, I was so impressed by her ability to capture so many important moments; her portraits, candids and shots of details were absolutely stunning. During our engagement photo shoot, we were so nervous about looking awkward or unnatural but Chelsey did such a wonderful job of helping us act naturally. That shoot ended up being so much fun and the photos were beautiful. We were happy to feature them on our Save the Dates and Invitations. Our wedding was impacted by the pandemic- we chose to postpone by a year and Chelsey made that process incredibly easy for us. She was also very empathetic in her communication with us during that process. Leading up to the big day, Chelsey had a ton of extremely helpful advice on how to make the day go smoothly and make sure the pictures were everything we wanted. She took the time to listen to us and made sure she had a good understanding of what we wanted. The day of, Chelsey was extremely punctual and professional. She worked tirelessly to make sure she captured as many moments as possible. When our timeline got thrown off track, she was flexible and did her best to get any photos she could in the meantime. When other vendors tried to deviate from the timeline, she was firm but polite in letting them know we had to stick to the schedule. We just received our photos back in the timeframe Chelsey promised and they are stunning! She was able to capture incredible shots of all the wedding details and some wonderful candid moments in addition to all of the portraits. We had so much fun going through the photos and sharing them with our friends and families. If you are looking for an experienced professional who is great to work with, we can't recommend Chelsey enough. We are so grateful to her for giving us such beautiful photos of the best day of our lives.

ts (while fighting mosquitos); got to the location 20 minutes early to make sure it wasn't taken; and spent an hour taking the most breathtaking photos we have ever seen. To be honest, I didn't think I could ever look as good as her photographs made me look! Absolutely would recommend her to friends, family, and all of you. Thanks for the awesome work!

rofessional and patient. She captured my vision for my wedding pictures beautifully.

responsive with any questions I had, and we love the moments she captured, our wedding pictures are beautiful. I highly recommend you book Chelsey!

during the process of taking photos. My husband hates his picture taken and he felt very comfortable with Chelsey! It shows in the pictures too! I can’t wait to use Chelsey for future life events!

uper responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Her work is amazing and the products are very professional, fast, and something we can cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you for all your hard work Chelsey! Ben and I can't wait to see how our wedding pictures come out! I would definitely recommend Chelsey if you are looking for a photographer.

ay perfect. Our proposal took place on the snowiest winter day late January had to offer and our proposal location was closed due to snow blocked roads from the blizzard. Chelsey displayed great problem solving skills and provided a great alternative for the proposal location. She even stood out in the cold and snow while she waited for the perfect moment for me to get down on one knee. After the proposal we did a photo shoot, and Chelsey made my fiancée and me feel so comfortable. The pictures came out even better than we imagined with the snow falling in the background, and whenever a friend or family comes to our house they comment about how beautiful the photos came out.

over and over and over again!

y's information. She was very professional and responsive during the time my fiance and I were trying to come up with a way to get married during COVID. We ended up having a ceremony in my backyard and the photos were of high quality and looks so professional! Chelsey is very friendly and she goes with the flow which is exactly what we needed. Highly recommend!

to jump in with such short notice, and we are very happy that she did! We met with Chelsey a few times prior to our wedding to go over details. She was very accommodating prior to and during our wedding day. We have not seen all our photos at this point, but the ones that have been posted to her blog are amazing and have gotten us very excited to see the rest! I highly recommend Chelsey Joy Photography for whatever photography needs you have!
