Intimate wedding films for the wild & weird

Elopement & wedding photographer & videographer based in the Carolinas

Well, you can. Elopements and small weddings (and hell, even big weddings planned with the right intention) are more laid-back, intimate and meaningful. The day is crafted around you and your relationship. Elopements are not one sized fits all. Your day can be just you and your partner or you can bring along your closest family and friends.

WANT TO GET MARRIED IN A WAY THAT IS AUTHENTIC TO YOU WITHOUT CONFORMING TO THE STANDARD WEDDING TRADITIONS?

I’m Chelsi and I’m here for the wild and weird.

YOUR WEDDING DAY MATTERS AND HOW YOU CHOOSE TO SPEND IT MATTERS EVEN MORE.

I know what it's like to choose the path less traveled when it comes to getting married. My husband and I eloped and it was the best thing we could have done. We didn't want to be the center of attention and we definitely didn't want to spend money on something that wouldn't have been right for *us*.

I'm more than just your videographer & photographer. I help you craft your best day. I'm here to guide you through the planning process and make sure anything and everything you want to do, we do! After all, it's *your* wedding day and you should spend it doing exactly what you want to do - whatever that looks like.

There might not be words to fully express how much we absolutely loved working with Chelsi! She is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people. As soon as we met her, she immediately felt like a friend and it was so comfortable to have her document the intimate moments of our wedding day.

Chelsi offers complimentary engagement sessions (a must do!!) and worked with us to schedule ours just a few days before our wedding. We woke up for a sunrise hike at Black Balsam Knob outside of Asheville and, despite nearly getting blown off the mountain, had the sweetest time together. Again, it immediately felt super comfortable to be photographed by Chelsi.

On our wedding day, Chelsi was both a calming, goofy presence and a quiet shadow. She has the perfect, balanced approach to jumping in to help and letting the moment breathe organically.

You should absolutely work with Chelsi if you’re looking for a photographer/videographer who brings the perfect mix of humor, kindness, and professionalism AND is a knockout creative talent.
