Upstate New York based photographer

Documenting your LOVE STORY 

THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE

INQUIRE

Every single moment of your day deserves to be seen - and photography, for me, starts with noticing. The tiny in-between moments that end up meaning the most. I’m drawn to the feelings you can’t script: sunlight slipping across a room, laughter that turns into something softer, the kind of love that shows up in the smallest gestures. I guide you when it helps, step back when the moment is unfolding on its own, and trust my instinct to know the difference. What you get are images that feel warm, true-to-you, and timeless...so you’ll still love your photos 20 years from now.

WHERE YOUR MOMENTS

Where Moments Feel Right at Home

Telling the full story of your day

I’m Chelsey — an Upstate New York photographer capturing love with honesty, intention, and heart.

I’m the kind of photographer who approaches your day like a friend — someone who helps you feel comfortable, laugh, and forget there’s even a camera around. Photos with me feel easy: music playing, movement instead of stiff poses, and conversations that make the hour fly by. On wedding days, I’m the voice reminding you that the late entrance or crooked tie won’t matter in the story you’ll remember. Long after the vows and final dances, I stay invested, because once I witness your moments, they matter to me. I hope to be the photographer you book for all your milestones and big moments going forward.

“Chelsey is an incredibly professional, high quality and extremely talented photographer! She photographed my maternity, birth and newborn photos and they came out AMAZING. 100% recommend booking with her. Not only is she insanely passionate at what she does, she is also a wonderful wife, mother, and friend. Highly recommend 🤍”

“I have trusted Chelsey with every important moment in my family for the last 5 years. From wedding to maternity to family photos, she has captured the most beautiful memories for us. She is extraordinarily talented, which is easy to see in her work. But even more, she is caring, professional, kind, and so easy to work with! I am so grateful to have such a wonderful photographer in our area!”

The quality of her work is amazing and her passion is seen in every photo. Every picture was perfect and she caught moments I missed. Worth every penny! Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend!”
