THE CKP EXPERIENCE
Let's be real, everyone dreams about their wedding day at some point in their life. Whether you're planning an intimate garden wedding, or a huge downtown rager, my job stays the same: create organic and romantic images that will tell the complete story of your day.
Did you and your family spend hours creating beautiful decorations? I'll take the time to capture each little detail.
Did you blow the budget on your dream wedding attire? I'll carve out some time to get some stunning portraits.
Did you hire an incredible florist who created a gorgeous floral arch? I'll make sure it gets it's moment to shine.
No detail is too small, no person is unimportant! My job is to capture your day as it unfolds, and tell a unique story.
YOUR WEDDING DAY SHOULD BE EASY, BREEZY, AND
BEAUTIFUL

Like what you're seeing? Head over to my contact form and shoot me a message. I will send over my pricing guide, and we can set up a meeting (in person or virtually!) to make sure we vibe! You'll tell me all about your fabulous plans, and can ask me any questions you've got. It's SO important that we connect, we'll spend a lot of time together, and we want both sides to feel safe and comfortable!
Once we've met, hopefully you're ready to make it official! I will send you a proposal (no ring this time) that will contain an invoice and contract. I use a client management service that makes things super easy, and you'll be able to access it at all times. To be considered booked, you'll need to sign the contract and pay a 25% retainer. After that, the rest of the payment is due two weeks out, but we can set up a payment plan for you to pay it off however you want!
Now it's time for the good stuff! We'll get your engagement session scheduled first. I love when my couples make their engagement session unique and special to them. Not every couple is a "pose in the middle of a wide open field" kinda couple. Some of my favorite engagement sessions have been at locations that mean something to the couple: where you had your first date, your favorite bar or coffee shop, or on the streets of your favorite city. I like to do engagement sessions roughly six months before the wedding, but we can make anything work.
CALL ME. BEEP ME.

let's have some fun!

Here's a peek at the
experience
Now that you're married, I get to work! Within 24 hours of your wedding, I will post a sneak peek on my instagram, and send you the images! Then it'll be about 4-6 weeks before I send you your completed, stunning album! All images are delivered via my online galleries, which are easy to use, share, and download your images from. You (and your family + friends) can also order prints directly from the gallery, which makes it quick and easy!
the after party

Yay! The big day is here, and it's going to be flawless! I will be your professional hype girl, dress - fixer, boutonniere pinner, and family member wrangler. The first half of the day will be filled with detail shots, gorgeous portraits, and lots of direction from me. Once we get to the reception, it's time for you and your partner to party on, and I turn into a fly on the wall, capturing it all!
I am an organizational nerd. I will work with you and your planner, and we will create a PERFECT timeline for your wedding day! I will also send you a questionnaire that covers every detail I need to know to make your day run as smoothly as possible. We'll also work together to create a family formal plan, so your family can get to the reception as quickly as possible. My goal is to cover every base BEFORE the wedding day, so the wedding day is a breeze, and we don't have any last minute surprises.
the wedding day!!
getting organized.

WHO IS YOUR SECOND SHOOTER?
What gear do you use?
I have an assortment of second shooters! All my second shooters are other working professionals, so I can't guarantee anyone specific, but I will promise it will be someone who is a professional photographer, who could step in and take over the wedding if disaster occurs and I can't make it.
(In 8 years, this has never happened, but we like to plan for everything!)

WHO IS YOUR SECOND SHOOTER?
What gear do you use?
You want to pay to me travel and take photos in a gorgeous location? I guess we can make that work. 😂
I do charge for travel, but the cost will be dependent on where we're going and for how long.
(And if you want to go to Paris, we can talk about that travel fee.)

Yes, PLEASE! I believe every couple deserves to have their story told beautifully, and I would never discriminate based on sexuality, gender, race, or religion. I want to celebrate diversity in all forms!
CATHRYN + CARTER - 2020 COVID COUPLE
As a COVID bride feeling doom and gloom about her wedding day, Chelsea was solid throughout and a calm presence for us throughout this whole process. I can quite literally say I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life! Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without Chelsea as my photographer.
"never felt more beautiful"
ILEANA AND DANIEL - 2021 COUPLE
"Chelsea was just amazing, and we could not have asked for a better person and photographer for this wedding. The shots and ideas she had made for truly memorable moments. As we scrolled through the pictures, we couldn’t help but feel that she captured the beauty and essence of our wedding. Looking through them feels like we are living that day all over again. Chelsea was much more than just our photographer on that day. She was truly there for me and helped me in whatever way she could. My husband and I could not have asked for a better person for this event."
"more than just a photographer"
TESSA + PRESTON, 2021 COUPLE
Chelsea takes the time to get to know you and your relationship as a couple and really portrays that in what she captures!
We have these photos printed and hung in our home and we can’t wait to show our kids one day! You won’t regret choosing Chelsea to capture your biggest days ahead. “
