Inclusive videographer and photographer based in the Carolinas
Want to get married in a way that is authentic to you without conforming to the standard wedding traditions?
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.
Your wedding day matters and how you choose to spend it matters even more.
I'm Chelsi and I'm here for the wild and weird.
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.
stop the presses - the reviews are in
For our big day, my now-husband and I were looking for a high-quality event videographer with reasonable pricing, and we are glad we found Chelsi! She went above-and-beyond to work with us and we could tell immediately that she is passionate about her work.
Starting from the very beginning, Chelsi was organized and communicated regularly with us through zoom, and she was easily accessible when we had questions and concerns. The day of the wedding, she was ready at 3am to video me getting ready with hair/makeup. She was very enthusiastic for someone who had woken up so early! She made the whole process stress-free and she strategized well with our photographer to make sure their work captured the "big picture". She made us feel so comfortable that we forgot we were being filmed; she felt like another friend who was happy to help us celebrate.
Since we got married at Yosemite National Park, we had to hike up to the wedding location. We were impressed that Chelsi had us pause during the hike to capture special scenes that we would not have thought of. She masterfully captured the beauty of Yosemite and our love story. We can’t wait to show our families the video, thanks to Chelsi's exceptional work :-)
