the CLP Experience
Weddings
My joy is capturing naturally bright and timeless memories for the best kind of people! If you're a joyful and madly in love couple (who are maybe a little nerdy) then you're my kind of people!

WEDDINgS
Your wedding is a day you've been dreaming about for months, years, or maybe even forever. It should be captured in an authentic way to tell YOUR love story.
I wasn't somebody who dreamed of getting married...until I met my soulmate and the love of my life. True love is something I wholeheartedly believe in and I am honored to capture the genuine moments and memories of such an important piece of your story. Whether you are having an extravagant wedding at a beautiful mansion, or an intimate affair in your parent's backyard. Your experience throughout this journey should be as joyful and stress-free at possible!
Absolutely loved every part of working with Chelsea
and my husband and I could not have been happier with having her be apart of our wedding day. We are so thankful for her presence, and I would completely recommend Chelsea’s photography for anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Engagements
Engagements are such an exciting chapter in your journey to marriage and you deserve images that capture all of the best emotions of that time together. Through a blend of traditional posing and fun prompts, I will guide you every step of the way to create a memorable and joyful gallery for you both!

ELOPEMENTS
There is so much stress on needing a wedding to be happy but, let's be honest, some people just need the love of their life and someone to help them say I do. Whether you are having an intimate party with your closest loved ones or a simple ceremony with just you two and your witnesses, these are still moments that deserve to be captured.
Chelsea’s work is not only incredibly beautiful, but her bright personality and love for what she does makes it all the better!

Interested in having your wedding day published? We will steer you in the right direction to make that happen! Want images that will create the most stunning gallery wall? Consider it done!!

How long have you been doing this?
I photographed my very first wedding back in 2015. In 2018 I officially opened my business and in 2024 I finally went full-time!
How many images do I get?
The cost of your wedding includes unlimited digital files in an online gallery. The only images I delete are duplicates and blurry/blinking ones. Together, Ryan and I average about 75-80 images per hour delivered.
Can i share my images?
Of course! Your images are yours to print for your home and share on your social media as you wish!!
What is your average investment?
On average, our couples tend to invest around $3100-$3400 total on services, albums, and print products.
When can we expect our gallery?
Galleries will always be delivered within 6-8 weeks. Off-season weddings tend to be closer to 6 weeks while busy season (fall) tend to be closer to 8.
do you shoot wedding weekends?
Absolutely! This would be a custom package based on what exactly you are looking for but feel to reach out for a quote!!
Do you charge travel fees?
Travel fees are included within 100 miles of Rocky Hill, CT. All of Connecticut, most of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and parts of New York are within this area.
How are my images backed up?
All images are automatically written to TWO SD Cards, in camera, during your wedding. Those images are then immediately copied onto multiple hard-drives as well as a cloud storage system. We also keep all images on the SD cards until after your final gallery is delivered!!
Do you shoot destination weddings?
We are always happy to travel when available! Feel free to reach out and we'll organize a custom quote based on your wedding needs!
