Hey gorgeous, I’m Chelsea Paige Gault (but most people just call me Chels). I'm a Charleston, SC wedding photographer and the owner of Chelsea Paige Photography. It’s so nice to meet you! My passion for photography started in middle school. I moved to Charleston, SC in 2008 just a few weeks after graduating high school.
Before I meet my clients, I love to get to know them as best as possible and want you to get to know me so you can decide if we’d be a great match for each other.
"Chelsea is able to capture beautiful moments, full of emotion, & her work is impeccable. Her friendly & funny nature makes her a pleasure to work with."
– Tammy P.
I've been a full time Charleston wedding photographer since 2015. When it comes to my wedding photography style, I like to keep it as natural as possible. My goal is for you to remember the day as you saw it. From the start of the details to the last few moments of your special day, your wedding gallery will be a mixture of posed and candid images with lots of direction.
I also won't make you wait for months and months to see your online wedding gallery. My turnaround time is 5-7 weeks. I also edit each image myself and it's always me behind the social media post and emails. I also try to respond to emails as quickly as possible. Sometime, just in a few minutes.
I’m fueled by passion, lots of dog kisses, little boy giggles, and great clients. Most of the time you can find me tucked away in my home office, Target runs, Chick-fil-A, drinking pinot grigio, editing photos, shopping in a consignment store or garage sale, spending time with my family and friends, and hanging out on our boat. I find immense joy in documenting the wonderful moments that my clients give me the opportunity to witness - from engagements to weddings to furry friends and newborns... I love it all.

"People feel good in front of the camera only when you learn to help them feel comfortable being there! It is about infusing them with your passion and educating them about how much they will enjoy the process."
