Over the last decade, we’ve learned how to read the room and our couples to craft a personalized approach for each wedding. From the first consultation to your final gallery reveal (hosted in our dedicated studio and accompanied by a delicious charcuterie board, of course), you’ll be welcomed with an atmosphere of authenticity that is rare to find these days.
The performative proprietary and forced aesthetics just don’t resonate with who you are as a couple — and we get it. But, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice style for sentiment — or the other way around.
Creatively incorporating jaw-dropping imagery with deep emotion is our bread and butter. Plus, you’ll get a reliable support system of expert scene-setters and aspiring mind-readers reminding you to stay present all along the way.
“Wes and Chelsea are more than just photographers capturing beautiful portraits and behind the scenes memories — they are your trusted partners on your big day. From our initial discovery call, to planning out our timelines, to the big day; they really have your back from all angles.”
Together, we have more than 550 weddings under our belt (impressive, we know). And if we’ve learned one thing from the hundreds of aisles walked and countless vows exchanged, it’s that each and every connection, couple, and wedding is unique. Your story isn’t meant to fit into a cookie-cutter box that is premade and perfectly curated. So we say break that mold. Trust us, you’ll be happy as hell that you did.
Ready for the one-on-ones – ahem – team bios?
Westley (but you can call him Wes) is known for his passionate flair and go-getter attitude. His first few frames as a photographer were taken in the high-energy pit of a concert in 2012. There, Wes was asked to photograph a wedding the very next day. He’s been hooked ever since.
On wedding days, he’s there to match your energy and seamlessly fit into the atmosphere you’ve created — always with a positive twist (and maybe some colorful sentence enhancers too). Wes will take the creative lead on photography, letting the moments unfold naturally, but adding some helpful guidance whenever it's needed.
You can ask anyone, Chelsea is one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll meet. Her presence is gentle, yet she brings a sense of calm to any room she’s in. With over 15 years of experience in the wedding industry, she knows how to read your emotions and tune into what others around her need.
While Wes is setting the scene, you’ll find Chelsea capturing the story from a subtle perspective. Her fly-on-the-wall approach will document the small, but just as important, details of your wedding. Those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments are essential to the personal feel Chelsea infuses into every wedding gallery.
