Wedding Photographs That Matter

Ann Arbor Michigan
Wedding Photography

Let’s be real here.

Your wedding is an important occasion. In fact, it’s pretty damn special if we really get down to it. 

But all those pretty details you’ve chosen, planned and worked hard over, the party, the dinner, the tower of cake and all the other details are only one part of what makes this day extraordinary.

Because when you throw into the mix that it’s the day the two of you stand up, face each other and say, 

‘Hey, let’s do life as a married couple!’, 

that turns it into something pretty frickin’ special, right? 

That’s the stuff that makes this day worth remembering. And however you choose to celebrate it, with whoever you pick to witness it, is exactly what it should be. 

Every wedding is unique, not just for the details, but because of the love you share with your closest people. 

That’s why I offer a customizable base package with up to 8 hours of coverage—capturing everything from the pre-ceremony jitters to your first dance (and then some)!

We’ll collaborate on a timeline that ensures all your key moments are beautifully documented, giving you plenty of time to celebrate with your loved ones, stress-free, while getting all the portraits you want.

The most beautiful authentic moments happen when you’re not rushed for time, and when you’re least expecting them. 

We’ll make sure you get to soak in every joyful moment—because your only job on your wedding day should be to have a blast (and maybe eat some cake)!

Saying no to the big wedding and opting for something way smaller? There’s only one answer when you ask me if I shoot elopement photography, too. HELL YES! Because I totally get that some of you aren’t interested in all the fuss and fanfare of a big wedding with everyone you know. I’d love to talk about your plans with you and give you a good idea of how it all works.

“We had a blast working with Chelsea; it was like working with a friend, and she made the experience fun and easy, from the first time we spoke with her over the phone through our wedding day, and was efficient and professional. Our families were impressed as well!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your prices? +

Full-day weddings (8+ hours), start at $4800 with one photographer (Chelsea). If you're having a longer wedding day or a larger wedding (100+ people or a large wedding party), I do have a package option with a second photographer. Please inquire for detailed information!

How far in advance should we book a photographer? +

Most couples book 18 months to 1 year from their wedding date. You’ll get your pick of vendors this way!

What do we need to reserve our date with you? +

To book a wedding date, I require a $1000 deposit and a signed agreement.

Can we pay with a credit card?? +

Yes, via Venmo. Cash and Zelle payments are also welcome.

When is the balance on our package due? +

The balance on all packages is due 30 days before the wedding date. You are welcome to make smaller, incremental payments until a month before the wedding.

Do you travel? +

YES! I love to travel and have traveled as far as Paris for a wedding. Looking for a destination engagement session? Let's talk about the details!

How many photos will we get from our wedding? +

This depends entirely on the time allowed for photography, the size of your wedding party, and how many family photos you want… these all vary wildly on a wedding day.

How long will it take to get our photos? +

Turnaround for online wedding galleries is roughly 6-7 weeks, depending on the time of year. I'll give you a rough estimate at the time of the wedding. Your images will be available immediately after they're finished via a digital download. You’re free to make prints, albums, etc. after that!

Our venue is really dark. Is that a problem for you?+

I've shot in everything from wine cellars to dark apartments. I haven’t met a church or reception venue that I couldn't light!

Will you be the one photographing our wedding?+

Of course! If you choose a package with two photographers, it'll be me and if you booked a second shooter, another professional photographer.

What happens if you get sick on our wedding day?+

Thankfully, I've never had this issue, and hope I never will. If your wedding day package includes a 2nd photographer (most people book this), the 2nd photographer would step up to document your day with no problem. They or I would also find an available 2nd to assist them. I'm very lucky to be a part of an amazing local community of photographers that I would be able to call on if needed. Ann Arbor is pretty great like that!

Can I send you my pinterest boards?+

Yes, please do! However, keep in mind that your wedding will have its own "Pinterest-worthy" photographs. Don't stress about creating moments or photographs that you saw online; let your day unfold naturally and you'll have your own amazing memories that will outshine any random photograph you saw on Pinterest.

Can we go to multiple locations on our wedding day?+

Yes, and a lot of couples do. If you’re just going to a location for photos, allow about 30-45 minutes per location, not including travel time to be there.
