Hi!
I'm a Vancouver Island wedding photographer
I'm Chelsea!
Through my photography, I want to capture the relationships that define you: relationships with your pets, your places, and your people. I want you to be able to feel these connections - between loved ones but also with locations like beautiful Vancouver Island - just by looking at a photo.
I specialize in weddings, intimate elopements, and engagement sessions. Every year, I also book a limited number of family lifestyle sessions and small business branding sessions as well. If you think we might be a good fit, I would love to hear from you!

Services
I specialize in weddings and intimate elopements. Each year, I also offer a limited number of family lifestyle sessions and branding sessions for small businesses.
Although I’m based in Nanaimo, I love to travel! I have photographed weddings and sessions up and down Vancouver Island, in Alberta and Ontario, and even destinations including Costa Rica and Mexico.
