Chesley was our dream photographer! She photographed our Seattle elopement / micro wedding last December and gave us everything we hoped for and SO MUCH MORE. Not only are we OBSESSED with our photos, but Chesley truly felt like a friend we were hanging out with all day. I am truly so thankful she was our photographer. I didn’t realize how much time you spend with your photographer throughout the day and we had the best time with her. I knew I would love the photos but enjoying the day with her was such a plus!!! My wife and I were intimidated navigating the wedding industry as a same sex couple and Chesley immediately made us feel welcome and safe. I seriously could not recommend her enough!!! I would pick her again and again and again and have already asked her if she can photograph my family for years to come.

"Chesley photographed our Austin, TX micro wedding in September and was truly a dream to work with. I typically feel very awkward and uncomfortable while taking photos, but Chesley’s calming energy was so soothing and put me right at ease. In addition to her incredibly down to earth and professional demeanor, Chesley captured the most incredible photos of our big day. You can truly see the love and emotion shining through each photo. Romantic, cinematic, moody—her art truly speaks for itself. Booking Chesley was the easiest and best decision we made during the planning process, and one we would make over and over again!"

"Chesley photographed our Colorado elopement/micro-wedding and we truly could not be happier! She is so easy to be around and made the entire day feel natural and comfortable. Our photos are everything we hoped for—moody, emotional, and so true to how the day actually felt. She captured every moment beautifully without ever making anything feel too posed or forced. We’ve gone through our gallery so many times and keep finding new favorites, we’re genuinely so grateful we chose her and would recommend her to anyone!"

Chesley was such a joy to work with! My Husband and I are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her on our wedding day this past May in Los Angeles. She is extremely punctual, professional, and overall is great at what she does. When we got our photos back my Husband and I were over joyed, booking her was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding vendor process. She made every encounter that we had with her stress-free and she immediately got our vision. Her style is timeless and unique, we can’t wait to share our wedding pictures with our children someday! We would also book with her again for future events. She’s so cool and would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering booking with her.

We had Chelsey photograph our wedding in the Smokys & she was an absolute dream. She was so attentive before, during & after the day. She was fully prepared the day of. She was incredibly kind & sweet to everyone on the day.
And our galley was to die for. Every picture is so beautiful. She made sure I could relive that day in every photo. I would highly recommend using her to capture your special days.

" My husband and I eloped in Buðir Iceland, and it was such an amazing time. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Chesley for my elopement. From the very beginning, her wonderful personality and bright presence was evident. She helped make our wedding day so special! After scrolling SO MANY groups to hopefully find a photographer that shared our style wants, I was so so so excited when I stumbled on her post and asked if she would be interested in traveling for our elopement! The whole process was so smooth and she was so encouraging and enthusiastic about our big day! We had a few hours for photos and we even received sneak peeks that made me cry in the happiest of ways. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or photographer! I 1000000% recommend Chesley if you’re looking for moody/alternative photos and a lovely person to work with!"
