Wedding Information Guide
Chelsea was a joy to have a part of our wedding day! I could rest assured that she was capturing all the special moments. The pictures turned out perfectly! Client, Whitney Detar
My name is Chelsea Mitchell, and I’d like to introduce myself. Originally I hale from the midwest but for the past 10 years I have had the privilege of living and photographing in Santa Barbara. Although Santa Barbara was my home base, I have served every inch of California and across the United States. While in Santa Barbara, I studied photography at the world renowned Brooks Institute of Photography, interned, assisted, and worked for some of the TOP in the wedding industry; Jose Villa, Elizabeth Messina, Joel Serrato, Lane Dittoe, and Karen Wise to name a few. I have been very fortunate to make my passion of film photography my career. My photographic approach is artful, timeless, and minimalistic. I strive to create images that are romantic, sensual, and provide a window into my clients’ world. I primarily use film as my choice of medium but I am also a fully stocked digital photographer. Let’s Connect!

Can you Photoshop that? I am a minimalist at heart. I love natural light and real people. The extent of retouching I will do on your images is limited to removal of blemishes, spots, and bruises. Virtual weight reduction and selective coloring will not be used. However, if there is something else you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to ask!
The Value of Printing In a digital age, when most pictures are never touched, never displayed, and never printed, part of the experience of being photographed is lost. Breath taking images, moments of laughter and unforgettable memories should never be left to sit on a DVD, thumb drive, or online gallery; photographs are meant to be displayed, shared, and treasured. Printing your images gives you the opportunity to relive these wonderful experiences that have been frozen in time, again and again. Printing your images opens the door for you to share those memories with those you cherish most.
