At Alchemy and Film we believe that experiences are more important things.
We are passionate about nurturing our planet and believe in taking every possible step to protect and care for the environment. We also believe in embracing individuality, dancing to your own rhythm, and capturing the essence of who you are.
In the world of portraiture, we ensure that every session is unapologetically about you, showcasing your unique personality, the connections you share, and the stories that define you. Let us capture the commitment to yourself, your loved ones, and the moments that make your life extraordinary.
Their YOUR photos!
We believe it's crucial to prioritize honoring yourselves over conforming to the current trend of 'adventure' with outdoor ceremonies in front of waterfalls or on overlooks.
Couples often find themselves squeezing into the constraints of a trend, and we're here to break free from that. Your portrait session should be uniquely yours.
We've captured couples in the restaurant where they first met, the bar where he proposed, and yes, in the woods, front of waterfalls and with mountain views. Alchemy portraits are crafted for those who cherish the essence of the moment.
When you choose us, you're not just hiring photographers and videographers. We become your guides, assisting in finding the perfect locations for your portraits, planning your schedule, and coordinating with hair & makeup. We take on roles as your portrait facilitator, confidante, and biggest supporter. From helping with your belongings to ensuring your attire is perfect, we're here to make you feel amazing (because you absolutely are!).
Basically, you deserve the best xperience, and that’s what matters to us!

Hello there! I'm Chelsea, the creative eye behind the lens. My journey in photography has been shaped by 15 wonderful years with my beautiful family—three amazing kids and a shared passion for adventure.
Beyond the world of photography, I'm utterly enchanted by all things canine. Our family not only breeds German Shepherds but also dedicates time to training and fostering dogs and puppies. Our mini-farm, alive with the charm of goats, chickens, and pigs, adds another layer of joy to our lives.
When we're not immersed in the art of capturing moments, you'll find us exploring the great outdoors. We love hiking, canoeing, and embarking on exciting journeys with our best friends. This blend of family, furry companions, and the beauty of nature is what fuels my creative spirit. I look forward to not just capturing moments for you but creating a shared story that resonates with the warmth and authenticity of our own family adventures.
