I’m Chelsea, a Sussex-based photographer specialising in intimate weddings and modern family photography.


Whether you're planning a registry office wedding in Brighton or documenting life with your family — my approach is always the same.


Relaxed. Natural. Honest.

 

Intimate weddings,

done your way


I photograph small, personal weddings across Sussex and Kent — from Brighton registry office ceremonies to café receptions and unique venues.

If you're planning something meaningful, relaxed, and true to you, you're in the right place.


No stiff posing. No pressure.


Just real moments, captured naturally

Modern family life,

honestly captured


Family life isn’t perfect — and that’s exactly what makes it worth documenting.


I offer relaxed, natural family photography across Sussex and Brighton, focusing on connection, movement, and real moments rather than posed images.


Perfect for modern families who want something a little less traditional.

Documentary photography with an editorial feel


My work sits between documentary and editorial — capturing real life as it unfolds, while creating images that feel timeless and intentional.



I shoot with a mix of digital, 35mm film, and Polaroid to create imagery that feels both modern and nostalgic.

"If we could give Chelsea 1000 stars we would!!


We are so glad we chose Chelsea to capture our wedding, from our first introductory video call to the day itself, Chelsea was brilliant and offered her help and guidance the whole way through. Our wedding day would not have run as smoothly if Chelsea wasn’t there!


Chelsea helped us to feel comfortable in-front of the camera with her kind and friendly personality during the engagement shoot and then created stunning photos of our wedding day with her amazing creative vision!


If you’re having an intimate wedding we cannot recommend Chelsea enough to be the one to capture it!"

"Chelsea did a content day for me recently and was absolutely wonderful.


I'm nervous in front of a camera but she made me feel so much more at ease and the photos and videos are exactly what I was hoping for.


Thank you for being so fantastic Chelsea."

"Choosing Chelsea to photograph our wedding at the Hydro Hotel was the best decision we made. She made us feel relaxed from the start and helped the day run smoothly with her calm, friendly approach.


The photos are stunning, capturing our ceremony under the pagoda with the sea and beautiful views perfectly. We couldn’t recommend Chelsea highly enough for an intimate wedding — she truly captured the feeling of the day."
