Britt & Michael’s Engagement

I’m excited to share some photos from Britt and Michael’s engagement session! I had a great time hanging out and capturing how these two are together – I’m pretty sure we laughed our way through the entire shoot!

Britt and Michael are from Kentucky, but they love traveling and I think it’s safe to say they have a bit of a love affair with Las Vegas. So for their engagement session we did things up Vegas-style with a trip to the fabulous Neon Museum! The bright retro signs ended up being the perfect compliment to Britt and Michael’s colorful, fun-loving personalities.

Do I spot a butt grab here? ;-) You two are so darn cute!

B+M: Thanks for an awesome time! Hope you two had a blast honeymooning it up in New Orleans!

October 22, 2011 - 5:24 am Bet and Josh - Love all the pictures! Chelsea is an outstanding photographer! So glad you all captured these memories in such a creative way!

October 14, 2011 - 5:28 am Kim @ Scenic Las Vegas Weddings - Congratulations to Britt and Michael for their engagement! They are a sweet and cute couple! I'm very happy for them! thanks for sharing their engagement photos with us, Chelsea! very lovely pictures! You are definitely my favorite Las Vegas wedding photographer! Keep up the good work!

Shauna’s Trash the Dress

I’m excited to share a few images from Shauna’s trash the dress session! I feel like I’ve known Shauna for ages. We started chatting last year when her and Dustin were in the beginning stages of planning out their wedding. They had an intimate wedding in New York, then came out to Vegas for their honeymoon and post-wedding shoot. It was awesome rocking it out together!

To top things off, Dustin’s a firefighter and brought his fire gear all the way from Florida for our shoot! Here’s a few of the images from our day together:


These first two were photographed against the colorful backdrop of the Neon Boneyard! Shauna brought along Dustin’s extra name badge to use as an adorable prop in celebration of her new last name:

Kristen & Stephen’s Couple’s Session

Kristen & Stephen came out from South Carolina for their 2-year anniversary celebration. As a super sweet anniversary gift, Stephen put together a couple’s shoot for them downtown at the Neon Boneyard! And it was such a treat to be a part of it! These two have that perfect balance of sweet and spunky that make them a blast to photograph. In addition, Stephen’s the talent behind Blackmon Photography (click here to check out some of his awesome work), and if you’ve followed my blog you’d know how much I LOVE working with other photographers and creative types!

Here’s a few teaser photos from our time together:

Did I mention that they were also super stylish? I loved Kristen’s dress and adorable Anthropologie necklace!
We found this awesome little “B” for Blackmon…

S + K: Congrats on 2 years together! It was really awesome getting to know and photograph you guys! Be sure to keep in touch and look me up if you’re ever back in town – whether it be for a photo-conference or for play. :-)

Engaged: Lindsey and Nate

I’m so excited about Lindsey and Nate’s wedding this fall in San Antonio, TX at the beautiful Vineyards Restaurant at Garden Ridge! Since they are having an out of state destination wedding, Lindsey wanted to do a more Vegas-style engagement session to include their hometown in the wedding fun. So, we decided to hit up a Vegas favorite: the Neon Boneyard!

Nate is currently stationed in Iraq, so we planned everything while he was home visiting for a couple weeks. It was so awesome to finally get together for a shoot and meet up in person! I instantly fell love their fun and flirty vibe – definitely makes photographing them a joy!
