Chelsea Carrizales Photography

  • Serves Carleton, MI

I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

Chelsea was amazing to work with on our wedding day. Getting married during a global pandemic was not for the faint of heart, but Chelsea made sure that we had the best day we possibly could. If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your best day, AND make you laugh, you've found her! Working with Chelsea is like hanging out with a good friend all while she makes sure you look your best. I could not have asked for a better person to be my photographer!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the power of photos and the stories they tell. Growing up, I’d lose myself in family photo albums, fascinated with freezing moments in time led me to photography, a medium that became my canvas for expressing emotions and creativity. What fuels my passion for wedding photography? It’s the profound belief in the power of love stories.

I find immense joy in capturing the moments when love, support, and celebration intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Growing up I always had a camera in hand, documenting camping adventures, skateboard videos, and ridiculous skits, I captured everything! I filmed my first wedding in 2005 in Detroit for a family member, it was my first gig and I was excited about it. From then on I started to really put the time in to learn proper composition, lighting, and editing techniques. I started off as a videographer but have come to love photography just as much, because of this I am able to offer both photography and film services to our clients.

Everything was literally so fantastic!!! Everyone has done nothing but sing Jason's praises. He has insane talent and all our images turned out so beautiful!!!

I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs.

Choosing to have Shuhrat capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made! She is the kindest person and puts your mind at ease. She is a joy to work with. She was able to honor all of our requests and kept us on track all day. We wanted a lot of candid shots and she delivered (see photo) She was organized and friendly the entire time, even during the more chaotic moments. I even texted her a few weeks before just to talk about wedding stress and she helped me a ton. We did not have to worry about giving her direction the entire evening, she just knew what to do and what to capture. We are so excited to see how the shots come out. Already the sneak peeks look phenomenal! We wouldn't trust anyone else to capture these memories we want to look back on for the rest of our lives!

I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit!

Dani was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. Her communication and professionalism are top notch yet she made us feel super comfortable like we're old friends. My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted. Dani got us comfortable at our engagement session and all of our photos from our engagement session to our wedding day turned out so amazing!! HIGHLY recommend to hire Dani!!

Laura is our wedding photographer. I had booked her in 2021 - and she took our engagement photos that summer of 2022. We had to post pone our wedding a year and she was so easy and adaptable. She has answered all my questions and she also has helped me prepare for our big day. She’s witty, kind and her photography only grows every year. I am so excited for June of 2024 to finally have the wedding photos I’ve always wanted.

AA Studies did my wedding, and they were absolutely perfect. It was a small outdoor wedding and the weather predictions ranged anywhere from cloudy to thunderstorms. They helped me calm down and figure out options for any worst case scenarios. Luckily, the day was beautiful and they arrived exactly when they were supposed to, while being fully prepared. I had told them about some planned surprises ahead of time, and they captured all of the moments and expressions to those surprises. We had wanted to keep everything fairly simple and they were wonderful in providing concise instructions while remaining friendly and calm.

Coffee is the real m.v.p and The Office reruns will always be on in the background (after Bluey has ended of course!).

If you’re looking for a photographer, please consider using Taylor. My husband and I were so lucky to find her for our engagement photos and wedding. Our photos turned out amazing! We will definitely be using her for all our special moments we want photographed!

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

Jason Snorlax Photography

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

We are a husband and wife, photo + video duo based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2019 and started capturing special moments in 2020. In 2023 we welcomed our miracle baby, Henry, after 18+ months of infertility. If there is one thing that becoming parents has taught us, it is how fast time truly flies and how important it is to freeze each moment, bringing even more meaning and passion to this little biz of ours. When we aren't behind the camera, we are soaking in every memory with our boy and our wild animals at home. It is such a blessing to us, that you are here. We can't wait to meet you!

Rooted Pine Media was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, their communication style was effortless, quick and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the high quality images they captured are ones we will cherish forever. They went above and beyond to make our special day perfect, including an engagement session and video that we loved. The cost was perfectly in our price range and we were over the moon with the final gallery, which perfectly captured the style and emotion of our wedding. We highly recommend Rooted Pine Media to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.
