Capturing Colorado love stories with heart, laughter, and a little mountain magic.
Hey, I’m Chelsie! I’m a Colorado-based photographer who loves capturing love stories that feel real, not staged. I specialize in weddings and elopements across our beautiful mountains, rivers, and hidden corners—wherever your story feels most you.
I’m all about the little moments: the quiet giggles while you’re getting ready, the hand squeeze when no one’s watching, the laughter that erupts when your dog runs into the ceremony. My goal is simple—help you feel relaxed, have fun, and enjoy every second of your day while I quietly document all the love, joy, and chaos that makes your wedding truly yours.
With a mix of candid storytelling and soft, natural artistry, I create images that feel timeless, authentic, and totally you. Years from now, I want you to look at your photos and remember the laughter, the tears, and the little in-between moments you’ll never forget.

Chelsie Chavarria
Photographer/Owner
Hi, I’m Chelsie Chavarria — photographer, artist, wife to Carlos, and mama to Levi, Owen, Chloe, and our lovable fur ball, Hazelnut. I’m a big fan of life’s simple joys: slow mornings, handwritten thank-you notes, belly laughs, and long hikes that clear the mind and fill the soul.
I didn’t always have a camera in hand — I left my 9-to-5 at 25 to follow my passion, earned my bachelor’s in fine art photography, and built a life doing what I love. These days, you’ll find me chasing golden light, capturing real connection, and telling stories through photographs that feel like you.

Chelsie went above and beyond for our wedding last September! Her creative eye captured our day beautifully. She helped my mom get the best photos of my dress and calmed all of the...
wedding day jitters. Our day wouldn’t have gone seamlessly without her being part of our day! I couldn’t recommend her to your wedding team enough.

We chose Chelsie because she has this amazing ability to capture the special moments in the lives of many, by making people feel like they were there—even if they weren’t! She is p...
robably one of the best photographers you will find in Colorado, as her photo quality is simply magnificent. Chelsie made us feel comfortable from beginning to end. She didn’t make us feel rushed and really put thought into creating the best shots. Our favorite part of our shoot was her attention to detail and focus on the things she knew were sentimental, i.e., she focused on a tattoo of my grandfather—who is no longer with us.
