Photography for every season of your story

Howdy! I’m Chelsea, the gal behind the camera, and I’m so happy you’re here.

Maybe you’re newly engaged, planning an intimate wedding somewhere wild, growing your family, chasing toddlers through the mountains, building something you’re proud of, or simply realizing it’s been way too long since you had photos that actually feel like you.

Whatever brought you here, my job is pretty simple: make you feel comfortable, help you have a genuinely good time, and photograph the good stuff as it unfolds.

No stiff poses. No wondering what the heck to do with your hands. No pressure to perform for the camera.

Just a little direction when you need it, plenty of room to be yourselves, and photographs that feel like your real life.

05 - elopements + micro weddings

  • Couples dreaming of a wedding day that feels intimate, personal, and completely their own. Maybe that means exchanging vows on a mountainside, celebrating with your closest people somewhere beautiful, or planning a small wedding filled with all the details that matter most to you.

    Elopements + micro weddings give us the space to document your day as it naturally unfolds, from the big, joyful moments to the quiet little ones in between. The result is a collection of photographs that brings you right back to how it all felt.

  • No two wedding days look quite the same, so elopement + micro wedding packages are customized around what you’re planning and how much coverage you need.

    Most couples invest around $3,000 in their photography. Once I know a little more about your day, I’ll put together coverage that makes sense for you.

  • The Najdek's Fall Wedding

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with the incredibly talented Chelsea for both our engagement and wedding photos, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the results. From the first click of the camera to the final delivery of our stunning photos, Chelsea demonstrated not only her remarkable skill but also her genuine passion for capturing the most precious moments of our lives.

    Chelsea's artistic eye and attention to detail are truly unparalleled. Every photo she took tells a unique story, reflecting not just the events but also the emotions and atmosphere of each moment. Her ability to capture the essence of our love and the joy of our special occasions is nothing short of magical. Looking through our photos, we were transported back to those beautiful moments, reliving the emotions and creating lasting memories.

    What sets Chelsea apart is not just her talent but also her warm and delightful personality. From the initial consultation to the day of the events, she exuded professionalism, yet she made us feel like we were working with a close friend. Her calming presence was especially appreciated during the whirlwind of our wedding day, and she managed to capture the most genuine and heartfelt moments without ever being intrusive.

    Chelsea's dedication to her craft is evident in every shot, and her commitment to ensuring our satisfaction was truly heartwarming. She went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences, offering creative suggestions while always respecting our vision for the photos. Chelsea's passion for photography and her genuine love for her clients shine through in every interaction, making the entire experience not just professional but also personal.

    In addition to her talent and professionalism, Chelsea's sweet and approachable nature made the entire process enjoyable.

Her ability to connect with people and capture genuine moments is a testament to her skill and charisma.

    We are beyond grateful to Chelsea for preserving the beauty of our engagement and wedding day through her lens. The moments she captured will be cherished for a lifetime, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who not only delivers exceptional results but also adds a touch of warmth and joy to the entire experience. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our special moments truly unforgettable! We love you!

  • Katie & Sean's Beaver Creek Wedding

    I had a wonderful experience with Chelsea Marie Photography for my wedding in Beaver Creek this summer! Chelsea herself was on mat-leave on our wedding day, so Caitlin was our physical photographer. She did a great job making us feel comfortable and natural, while Chelsea still did all the editing. From our first call onward, Chelsea was a wonderful communicator and very receptive to my vision. I asked for brightness, candids, and nature-forward, and she more than delivered. The bustle on my dress was weird during our sunset shoot, and Chelsea took the time to flawlessly photoshop it out of ALL those photos at no extra charge—it saved those pictures, which are some of my favorites! I am SO happy with our whole album, I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. (Extra shoutout to Caitlin who's afraid of heights and rode her first chairlift to get these shots!) I can't say how grateful I am for their work. Highly recommended!

  • Bailey Wilson

    Had the absolute BEST time with Chelsea during our session. She is so easy going and friendly. It felt like we had known each other for years. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most stunning shots. We had our photos taken in Rocky Mountain National Park and she was super accommodating and helpful as we are not from the area. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!
