The best time to go to the beach is when it's 40 degrees. Change my mind.

E & N's adventure session on the beach was beautiful and cold and oddly quiet, something I don't usually associate with the beach. I grew up spending my summers in Myrtle and I've never experienced it in the winter and I loved it so much.

I'm finally thawing from this cold, cold winter and hoping these warmer days are here to stay. I have a few more dates available for 2025, so if you want to have as much fun as E & N, let's chat!

I woke up thinking about Yosemite this morning and how thankful I am that I got to explore it again this summer. The past few months have been tough, so it's nice to think about the beauty in the world. ❤️

Adventure found us while we were in the mountains during M & B's adventure engagement session. While we were hiking, we were at a fork in the trail and a couple came off the trail and told us to be careful because there was a big bear literally on the trail. Not seeing which trail they came off of, I asked which trail the bear was on and THEY JUST STARED AT ME and then kept on walking. I looked at M & B and asked if I was crazy because maybe I thought I spoke out loud but didn't and they said I did. Actually one of the funniest things ever. We kept on hiking and we never saw the bear luckily even though I kind of wanted to but also no thanks.

J + P had a different idea for what they wanted to do for their wedding day and I was on board every second of the way. Living in Charleston, they decided to elope in their historic city. They booked a week in The Vendue to really be able to celebrate their vows and make a little vacation out of it.

They walked to The Battery and got married in the gazebo while birds chirped nearby and the sounds of waves crashed into the battery wall. After their vows, they took a stroll past Rainbow Row and the Custom House and we headed to the tattoo shop! They wanted to have their bands tattooed on their wedding day and it was such a fun experience. After they got their tattoos, they explored a record shop and then celebrated with cake and champagne back at the hotel.

(Watching them get their tattoos was such a cool thing to watch for me because I have no tattoos because I am a WIMP. I've wanted my nose pierced for like 10 years but cannot talk myself into the 5 seconds of pain.)

There is only one rule I have when helping you plan your elopement day: THERE ARE NO RULES. You're day can be whatever you want it to be.

*This is actually bad advice because there are actually laws and principles we still have to abide by but you get the point!

Shoutout to for associate shooting by my side and always helping me give my couples the best experience.

In just 5 short days, I'll be back in the place that has lived in my soul since the first time I saw it back in 2021. Filming J & Vs elopement felt like a once in a lifetime dream and now I get to go back with another amazing couple and my sidekick .

A week ago these two got married in the mountains outside of San Diego and it was one of my favorite days yet. It was so special getting to capture their day and be with my cousin who was the maid of honor at the same time!

They wanted all the raw moments captured with no poses except for a few family photos and I, of course, was 100% in.

Going to be reminiscing about this day for a long time. ❤️

It's wedding day for these two!

I've experienced a lot of firsts with my couples and a blizzard was definitely one for the books. M & B dreamed of a snowy elopement and mother nature definitely delivered.

Being prepared for an adventure elopement is the *most* important thing. We expected a little bit of snow but we planned for tons of snow to be safe and we are so glad we did! Yaktraks, hand warmers, and hot soup saved us from turning into ice sculptures.

I get asked a lot what my favorite part of a wedding day is and it's always a hard question to answer. But when I look through galleries, it's always the in-between moments that stand out to me. Even in life, it's easy to overlook the simplicity of an in-between moment. Riding in the car to get some food, waiting for an event to start or for your food to be ready, or simply walking from point A to B.

On a wedding day, there is so much in the in-between moments. Anticipation, joy, calm, excitement, nerves - it is all there and such a big part of the day that might not always be remembered. I love capturing those moments the most because you can't fake them and they elicit a real memory of the day.

My birthday is in a few days and I'll be 34. If you had told 24 year old Chelsi that I'd be traveling around and photographing and FILMING couples elopements and weddings I would have laughed and then cried with happiness. I always knew my 30s would be where I began to really find myself and do what made me happy and I was so fu***ng right.

Would you believe me if I told you this was the first time J & P were in front of a camera together? J told me she wanted alt/twilight vibes for their engagement session and I ran with it. They should really start a band so these can be their album cover.

It's these cows world and we're just living in it.

Moments like these are some of my favorite of a wedding day. Sneaking off to have some time to yourselves while feeding cows. Is there anything better?!

I can't wait to share their video and more from their wedding day. It was such a fun day, from start to finish and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it.

Shoutout to for associate shooting M & C's wedding day alongside me.

Weeks away from being back in a California state of mind. I think there will always be a part of me in CA. Maybe my heart because my brain knows that I need a QuikTrip nearby.

Are you in California and need a videographer? I don't charge any extra travel fees for Cali *or* the entire continental US. Let's adventure together! Fill out the contact form on my website to get started. 🤠

Adventure Sessions can be whatever you want it to be. Want to sing Incubus on top of a mountain? Let's go! Want to walk around downtown getting drinks and looking at art? I'm in! Maybe you'd rather stay home in your pjs making pancakes and watching your favorite movie. I see you!

I include adventure sessions in all of my packages because I want to get to know the real you before your wedding day. Nothing is too weird, I promise you that. And you'll love having photos of y'all doing the things you like to do. ❤️

My 2024 books are open so let's chat!

A + G had the sweetest sunrise elopement with a couple of their closest friends. They had their ceremony with their friends at an overlook and then headed on an adventure just the two of them.

My favorite thing about sunrise elopements is that by noon, they were in their comfy clothes and had the rest of the day to relax, explore, and just do whatever they wanted. Sunrise comes early - but it definitely has its advantages.

This was my first time exploring Shenandoah and I'm so glad I got to explore it with A + G!

Wrapping up my spring wedding season on Sunday and I'm so excited for S & J's day.

We got together a couple weeks ago and explored Stone Mountain for their adventure session. It was so quiet and the weather was amazing and the views speak for themselves. S & J just radiate love and it was so fun to capture them in their element.

I already know that Sunday is going to be one for the books! Let's gooo!
