“Chelsea is an absolute dream! She has an incredible eye and captures the big moments, but also the intimate and special moments throughout the day. Her photos are stunning and so so special, as she really gets to know you and your family. Chelsea will find the beauty in and celebrate what is special about/unique to you as a couple, and the results show that. She is so kind, easy and fun to work with, and was a real support throughout our whole planning process. Especially since we got married during the pandemic we had a lot of questions and unique hoops to jump through. Chelsea was always willing to talk through details (even those not photo-related!), share suggestions, etc. throughout our planning process. The day of Chelsea was a joy to have around and her positive energy and willingness to do whatever it took for the perfect shot (including walking backwards for several blocks during our mariachi band parade through the streets) is unmatched. I recommend Chelsea Matson Photography to any and everyone- you will not be disappointed!”

“We've worked with Chelsea for family photos the past 3 years and we always have a great time. She's laid back, great with kids, and manages to get some great real shots...even with a bunch of squirmy kids. It's fun and painless!”

“We loved working with Chelsea for our maternity photos. She made the entire session amazing and fun. She helped us with any posing to do as well as captured candid shots. We cannot get enough of our photos. 100% recommend working with Chelsea!!”

“We recently did a newborn family session with Chelsea and could not have been happier. We originally had a session booked through a different photographer which was unfortunately canceled last minute. We were on a time crunch as my husband was returning to work and we wanted to get the photos done before that. I reached out to Chelsea on a Friday night. She responded that night and came up with a plan for the session to be done Sunday morning. Chelsea was prompt and professional. Although we didn't have a chance to meet her prior to our session, she put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. We appreciated that she wore a mask during the session, brought hand sanitizer, maintained distance when possible, and asked us our comfort level with her handling our newborn son. The quality of the photos are well-worth the price tag, and the turnaround time in getting the final photos was excellent. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a photographer and would be happy to use her services again.”

“After having used many different photographers, we recently used Chelsea Matson for branding photography and we will be using her going forward. Chelsea completely exceeded our expectations. From the initial consultation, to planning and execution, she listened to our goals and the quality of the photos reflected her skill and preparation. I would highly recommend Chelsea if this is your first or 50th branding photography session. You will not be disappointed. Within a 3 hour session, we have more than enough images for an entire year with depth, variety, and interest that will speak to our customers on a variety of platforms. The experience was professional and fun from start to finish. Highly recommended.”

“Chelsea provided me with an amazing experience when I needed to get new branding shots for my business. We had several phone consults where she assisted me in narrowing down the type of photo shoot I wanted, guided me in areas where I had uncertainty, and acted as a sounding board for all my ideas! She was very responsive, prompt, and on top of everything involved. I knew that I didn't need to worry about a thing, because Chelsea had it handled. On the day of the photo shoot she helped me feel confident and I had so much fun (She even had a gift bag for me...how adorable and thoughtful is that?!) I have received my photos and am absolutely blown away. She captured exactly the aesthetic I was looking for and I feel like I am genuinely "me" in these photos. I highly recommend Chelsea. She is a professional who will capture what you are looking for in your photos and you will enjoy the process every step of the way!”

“It’s been over a month after my wedding and I’m still wondering if it is acceptable to love you wedding photographer more then your husband??? I can not speak more highly of Chelsea! When we first met I knew it was meant to be, her passion for capturing love and telling a love story just pours out of her. When looking for a wedding photographer we wanted someone who was easy going, professional, fun to work with, and loved love as much of us, Chelsea blew these “requirements” out of the water.

Not only is she an amazing, kind, caring person but her work is is equally amazing. We love that her photos are edited in a natural way and that she captures all of the small natural moments. Nothing every seemed forced!

My husband and I highly recommend Chelsea Matson Photographer! We are so grateful that she came into our lives (for good now) and could capture the most important day of our lives.”

“My husband and I opted for a destination wedding in Milwaukee, though we reside in St. Louis. Neither of us are from MKE and we have no friends or family that reside there either. As such, every vendor had to be chosen based on online reviews and phone conversations, which was quite daunting. Enter Chelsea Matson - from the first phone call I had with her, I knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding. Wedding planning is stressful, but I never experienced even a second of that working with Chelsea. We weren't able to visit MKE prior to our wedding for engagement photos, but Chelsea made time to meet with us the week of our wedding which made me much more comfortable. Our wedding photos were truly the only thing that really mattered to us, and the money spent was more than worth it. I could not possibly say enough nice things about how professional and warm Chelsea is, and how incredibly thrilled we are with how our photos turned out. I would do it all over again tomorrow if I could.”
