FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Preserving Beautiful Moments

for those who cherish them most

YOUR STORY,
TOLD FRAME by FRAME

Your wedding day will be filled with storiesβ€”stories about you, your loved ones, and your future. And all the big and small moments you'll want to cherish forever.

Your wedding photos should preserve those stories in a way that is fresh yet familiar, classic yet creative. 

And completely true to you.

hi, I'M CHELSEA

A ST. LOUIS MISSOURI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Love stories are my specialty

I know what it's like to marry your best friend. I married mine in 2017. And I've had the privilege of witnessing and photographing others' love stories for over a decade now. 

With care, creativity, and steadfast commitment, I'll design an experience where your picture-perfect moments naturally unfold. And I'll deliver images that tell your story. And tell it well.

The photos turned out beautiful and working with Chelsea was the easiest part of our wedding.

She came in with a lot of ideas for photos but listened to us about what we wanted to do. Then she tailored everything to what we were looking for.
