About Me.

A little bit of everything photographer

Intimate weddings, elopements, couples, engagement sessions, maternity & small families are my ‘specialties.’ Love is the most powerful thing on this planet and we are so lucky to experience it- and I'm here to help bottle up that spark forever. I want to capture you and your love(s) exactly as you are - in whatever phase of life you're currently enjoying. When we work together be prepared to get creative, a little messy, and maybe a little drunk (if you're into that sort of thing). 

I'm chelsea marie.

I'm Chelsea, an elopement and lifestyle photographer based out of Boulder, Colorado- but always have my suitcase on stand-by, ready to travel! Just over 6 years ago, I moved to Boulder on a 'solo soul-searching' journey. I met my now-husband on my very first day in Colorado and ever since, we have enjoyed exploring every inch of this beautiful state together (with my camera in hand!). We LOVE location scouting over here so if you don't see a spot in my portfolio that you love, we will hunt down a beautiful Colorado mountain location for you.

growing up, i didn't plan on being a photographer

In fact, I wanted to be an art therapist...then a teacher...then a speech therapist...then a Spanish translator....the list goes on. However, once I started down the path to each of these unique careers, I realized nothing was truly sparking my interests. Until I picked up my first camera! After I invested in my first DSLR, I started playing around with portraits, landscapes, etc. I essentially brought this camera with me everywhere and quickly became enamored. After 5 years of practicing on friends, I decided to finally start my business! 

If you hire me, please understand that I do not take my job lightly! You are not 'just another client' to me. You are now my friend and I am here to support you, hype you up, and capture whatever moments and memories you want. It is an honor to get to work with such incredible humans so know that I value your time and experience SO much! 

I'm not the girl for everyone - my shoots are usually pretty goofy with no really formal posing. Candids are my favorite, too! I care the most about capturing YOU and freezing moments and feelings for you to look back on and remember exactly how you felt that day. If you want to get loose, have fun and remember a moment in time, I'm your girl.

What fills my cup:

watching sunrise or sunsets / personal development / record stores  / film photos /  time in nature  / slow mornings with my daughter / sauna sessions

creative daydreamer who loves capturing love.

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. She seamlessly blended into our celebrations, interacting with our families and friends with such grace that everyone felt at ease in front of the camera. 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!
