Chelsi McFadden Photography- Mendocino Based Destination Couples and Wedding Photographer

Chelsi was wonderful! We are so glad we went with her as our wedding/engagement photographer. She made us feel comfortable, captured so many authentic smiles, shared a lot of laughs, gave us BEAUTIFUL photos that don't look like any of our friends' engagement photos, and had a really reasonable range of prices. We can't wait to see what our wedding photos will look like!

If you are getting married with a small gathering of family, or eloping in Mendocino County - Chelsi is your girl! She is so friendly, and easy to talk to. She made us feel totally comfortable and knew what she was doing, which is what you want on your wedding day! The photos she took are beautiful, not overly edited like you sometimes see on instagram. They also not only reflect the "mood" we so love and associate with the Mendocino coast, but also the love we share with each other and the importance to us to have a small, intimate type of wedding. She even made sure our two dogs made it into the collection! Thanks Chelsi, our photos will be cherished forever!

Chelsi photographed my wedding in July and I could not be happier with the experience. Chelsi was fun to get to know, and she was very professional. She ran around on the beach all morning making sure that no moment was forgotten. Best of all- the pictures are beautiful!

We were very excited to work with Chelsi. Her work looked amazing and exactly what we wanted that's why we wanted to have her as our wedding photographer. We met with her once to discuss timeline, her style and some details. However, due to circumstances out of our control we had to cancel our wedding. We reached out to her to have our deposit back (1/3 of the total amount, it was 8 months prior to our wedding, scheduled for the peak season in June). All our over vendors were very understanding of our situation and refunded us fully because they either feel they had plenty of time to be rebook or will refund us once they rebooked our date. So all vendors refunded us fully except Chelsi. We had to negotiate hard to have just half of the 1/3 deposit back. After couple of months we are now checking to see if she rebooked our date to have the other half and she is just ghosting us. Really not professional approach.
