About Captured By Chels

Captured By Chels

St. Louis Based Wedding Photographer

I’m a photographer at heart! Whilst being a nanny for over 10 years, photography always took a back seat until I got married myself in 2024 and realized I wanted everyone to be able to afford beautiful photos to be able to remember their special day for years to come!

I truly take the time to get to know you as people so that on the big day - your photographer is your friend and posing comes as naturally as candid shots do. I’m from the UK originally and have travelled extensively and I love learning about new people and their stories! I can’t wait to learn yours.

    Wedding photos

    When our original photographer got sick just weeks before our wedding, Chelsey stepped in without hesitation and saved the day. From our first conversation, she was patient and understanding about our situation, making us feel supported through the stress. On the wedding day, she knew exactly how to position us for every shot and kept things fun and relaxed the whole time. The photos came back looking incredible—crisp, bright, and full of genuine moments that really captured who we are. Chelsey's professionalism and passion for her work showed in every image, and we couldn't be happier with the quality. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is both reliable and genuinely cares about making your day special.

    SO happy!

    Captured By Chels was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, she was fast and responsive, making the booking process seamless. On the day of the wedding, Chelsey captured the love and emotion of the occasion beautifully, ensuring we have memories that will live on forever. The quality of her work is fantastic, with stunning pictures that perfectly encapsulated the joy and beauty of our special day. Considering the value and fast turnaround, we couldn't be happier with Captured By Chels and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

    Best photographer ever!

    Chelsey was honestly the best choice we could’ve made for our wedding. She’s super sweet, easy to work with, and made us feel really comfortable the whole time, which helped a lot because we’re not used to being in front of the camera. She also went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect, she helped fix my hair when my hair tie broke and even adjusted my dress when a button came off. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Captured By Chels was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation, Chels was incredibly informative, relatable, and pleasant to communicate with, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Chels' eye for detail and amazing photography skills truly shone through, capturing all the special moments in a way that was both beautiful and eye-catching. We are thrilled with the final photos and feel they perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Chels went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience, and we would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

    I’m OBSESSED with my engagement photos. I get CHILLS looking at them. She was so creative with using flowers as frames and water fountains as backgrounds. Love love love. She’s so sweet
