Speechless.

So this has been a LONG time coming.. I've tried to write this out countless amounts of times - and I just can't do it. Not because I wasn't absolutely in love with her style when I first contacted her. (Because I am!) Not because i wasn't appreciative of her being so understanding to our lack of social etiquette and awkwardness, and STILL making us look good. (Because, believe me, I AM) And not because I cry every time I look at the moments she captured for us as a family in the months leading up to our wedding, our engagement session, and of course the big day! (Because I do, and it's literally every. single. time.) ..It's because she's honestly left me speechless. There are no words to describe Chelsea, just an overwhelming feeling of love. And that's what it's all about. There's a reason people dream of becoming a Chelsea Mason bride, and it's because it's more than just the photographs. It's the Entire Experience! We can't thank you enough Chelsea, we can't wait to book you again, and again, and again! xo

Camera Wizard!

We can not say enough good things about Chelsea. She is so organized and keeps the day flowing smoothly, making sure to capture all the photos you could imagine. She makes everything look so natural and her photos are absolutely stunning. She also has to be one of the hardest workers I have ever met. We were the first of six weddings that she had one weekend so we did not expect to see photos for awhile and we got a sneak peak of are photos within a week, and all of them were absolutely stunning. Any deadline she has given us to deliver photos is completely reasonable, but she always delivers before her deadline. She is worth every single penny that we paid and we are so thankful we chose Chelsea to capture our special day.

Can't say enough about Chelsea!

Chelsea is seriously the best! Professional but fun, knows her stuff but listens to her clients wants and the photos speak for themselves...simply stunning and everything I'd hoped for! I would highly recommend Chelsea as a wedding photographer. Every in the wedding party loved her and everyone whose seen the photos have been blown away!

Chelsea’s pictures and style are beautiful. She did my engagement photos and a second photoshoot and I was very pleased with the results. She made my husband and me feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us as we were not used to being in front of a camera.
Anytime I contacted her with questions or concerns she responded quickly and met all my concerns. For example, I had noticed that a few of the shots I remembered taking that I was looking forward to had not been shared, I contacted Chelsea and she responded right away explaining that for some reason they had not uploaded properly. She uploaded them right away!
As Chelsea was booked for my wedding day, I had two of her assistant photographers do the day itself. They were professional and the pictures turned out amazing! I was a little worried since the group/ bride and groom shots were done really quickly (like really quickly!) that there would not be many good ones but this was not the case, although I would have liked more shots or more variety. The assistant photographers were very efficient and talented young women. I would note though that they did not have the same level of attention to detail as Chelsea.
I was a little disappointed there were not more shots of the guys getting ready but this was no fault of the photographer but of the boys who chose to get ready at the last possible minute. She did a great job of what she had to work with.
I would not recommend getting the second photographer though, although the contract says you will get “all” the pictures, you only get the ones selected and edited by Chelsea. I really wish I had known this beforehand as I truly thought I would get all the pictures. I hoped to have a lot of candid shots of the wedding party and guests by having a second photographer but this really was not the case. I had booked the photographers for 8 hours and a lot of the pictures at the end were of people dancing and apparently only a very few turned out and so I did not get many photos of the wedding guests. This was really disappointing.
Overall, the service was great and fast, the quality of the photos were amazing but I feel like I was a bit misguided and I don’t feel like I got what I was expecting for the money I paid. Do not get me wrong, the photos were absolutely stunning; I just thought I would get more/all the photos.
I would recommend Chelsea to friends or to anyone looking for a truly talented and professional photographer. Her editing style is amazing and she has great customer service. I would not recommend getting a second photographer or for the full 8 hours as you will probably not get many of those pictures.

Chelsea Mason did our engagement photos and we had so much fun - she had great photo ideas and they turned out well. We had Alicia Hall (secondary photographer) during our wedding. She was also great and Chelsea edited the pictures really well. Very pleased with our photographers.

Chelsea was a great photographer who was very professional and reliable. We couldn't have asked for a better person to shoot our wedding. We had all of our pictures back in a very reasonable time after the wedding.
