Andy + Andrea (Destination Wedding Photographer)

Welcome to the new face of Chelsie Moreland Photography! I am beyond excited to have this new blog for my clients to see their session and wedding sneak peaks. It's been a work in progress the past few months but definitely worth it!

I thought I'd introduce my new blog with a wedding I second shot for this summer with Alissa Ferullo. I always look forward to helping her each year and am beyond thankful for the opportunities she gives me being able to photograph these weddings.

The groom was handsome as ever...

I was in love with the bride and bridesmaids attire. So simple and elegant.

The ceremony was jaw-dropingly beautiful! It was held at the Sheridan Equestrian Center in Sheridan, Wyoming.

After the ceremony, we ventured off with the lovely couple to take advantage of the evening light. I think we got some great shots!

I am available for travel outside of the Merriman, Nebraska area. Please contact me through the "Contact" tab at the top of this site for more information.

And don't forget, CMP is on Facebook of course!

Kyleen + Matt (Valentine, Nebraska Wedding Photographer)

I couldn't have ended this year's wedding season any better than with this couple. I've never been to a wedding with so much emotion, attention to detail, and love, of course :-)

It was a rather chilly day, but that didn't dampen the spirits of anybody! I started off the afternoon with some gorgeous details...

Kyleen, seriously, you are BEAUTIFUL!

The ceremony details were lovely and everything Sandhills. No better place to live (even if we have an occasional earthquake and 60 mph winds ;-).

These two waited to see each other until the ceremony. It was very emotional and I had a hard time keeping it together...

...especially when you see a groom like this!

After the ceremony I had some time with just the bride and groom; my favorite part of the day!

It was cold, but my brides are prepared...

And they didn't even care :-)

From the bride:

"Matt and I met eight years ago at a rodeo through my current boss. He was in Michigan for one month and we met his last week in town. We went on one date while in MI and then I flew out to visit him in Minnesota. Three months later, I moved out there to be with him. It's all pretty much downhill from there ;-) I LOVED how the wedding turned out. I was stressed a bit the day of, but it all fell into place. We were so happy to see so much of our family make the drive to be here with us. I still can't believe it's already over!

We chose the ceremony venue because we wanted to get married on the ranch, that's who we are, ranchers. Angel had always envisioned a wedding in her front yard and was so gracious to open her home to everyone to make our dream come true. The reception was chosen because it was close to Comfort Inn ;-) I LOVE the color orange and green and brown went right along with it. They were the perfect fall colors. Angel did all the decorations at her home, she is amazing at what she does!!!!"

Thanks again you two for such a great day!

Tessa & Jim's Autumn Nebraska Wedding (featured on Nebraska Wedding Day's Blog)

I started off the day with Jim and Tessa's "First Look." It was magic from then on.

They didn't say much to each other, because they didn't have to. When you've been together with someone since middle school, like these two, the love for one another is so evident; the way they look at each other, the unspoken words replaced by love letters read on your wedding day, or simply the way he grabs for her hand. That's the kind of love I love. It was such an honor to capture that love.

I was also honored to have Jim & Tessa's wedding featured on Nebraska Wedding Day's Blog! Click HERE to view their post.

The details of this wedding blew me away.

And you can't forget about the lovely couple!

More details :-) Seriously, I couldn't get enough.

All of the decorations were made by the bride and bride's mother, including these amazing lights. Loved them!

Thanks again you two for being so great to work with. Blessings to you!

Wedding Album (Nebraska Wedding Photographer)

After months of planning, your wedding day is over in a flash. How are you going to remember that day forever? WHAT are you going to show your family? Your future children? Future grand-children!?

How about a wedding album! Yes, in this day-in-age of CDs, you may not know what an actual wedding album from your photographer looks like ;-) The CD has its place and I do include a CD of images in all of my packages, but what I look forward to the most as a wedding photographer is the end product of your custom-designed wedding album. Nothing makes me happier knowing that I helped create a family's first heirloom.

I am so passionate about these albums that I include one in ALL of my wedding packages. What do they look like? Take a look...

There are many cover options available. We can work together and choose a cover to best fit your wedding style.

Here are a few examples of the page layouts:

My design style is to keep the pages clean and modern with lots of white space; nothing too cluttered.

All of the pages are "lay-flat" style with no gutter, so pictures are able to print across the entire spread.

A sweet reminder from my little man to stop working while he's awake :-)

Jessica + Kaleb (Gordon, Nebraska Wedding Photographer)

I was honored to capture the wedding of these high school sweethearts and I know they'll have a life full of....well, LOVE! Congratulations you two!

The day started off right with a few gorgeous details.

Jessica was beaming and looked gorgeous the entire day despite 100 degree temperatures and me making her walk the quarter mile to the park :-)

Kaleb made a dashing groom.

I had to show off their flower girl a bit. She just LOVED posing for me and I couldn't get over how cute she was.

One happy husband!

After the ceremony we ventured to the local golf course for a few wedding party photos. This was the bride and groom's personal request :-) So fun!

Kaleb decided to give Jessica a few pointers...

And they lived happily ever after in a horse trailer...just kidding ;-)

Katie + Ben (Broken Bow, Nebraska + Destination Wedding Photographer)

I knew this wedding would be different. I could tell by their engagement session that events throughout the day would be prompt and perfectly planned out. I was not disappointed! I think this was the first wedding I've done so far where we were actually ahead of schedule! Katie did such a great job of planning and organizing her wedding, and it turned out beautiful :-)

These two have a connection that is indescribable to me. You can see it in their eyes, the way they act around each other....the love just flows out! I'm so thankful to have witnessed the joining of these two.

The day started off with a few details...

Katie had plenty of help throughout the day :-)

While we waited for the bride to arrive, I snapped a few portraits of the handsome groom.

Their First Look was magical...

It took everything I had to not cry!

Then I spent some time with just the two of them.

Katie, you made a gorgeous bride :-)

Ben was a great help ;-)

Their daughter arrived for some formals and she was content to hang out with dad.

We made a pit stop before going back to the church for the ceremony ;-)

And they danced away....

Thanks again you two for being so great to work with. I wish you nothing but the best for your new life!

Nicole + Eli (Destination Wedding Photographer)

When an opportunity like this comes up, as a photographer, you don't say no!

I was asked by my good friend to be a second shooter for a wedding in Sheridan, WY. Some of you by now have heard of the most talented Alissa Ferullo of Alissa Ferullo Photography. I am constantly in awe of her work every time I see something new on her blog. She never ceases to amaze me with her lighting, composition, and just plain talent of capturing a person's true beauty. Thanks again Alissa for being a great mentor and giving me this amazing opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer.

Nicole was relaxed throughout the entire day...she made a beautiful bride.

Her dress was absolutely gorgeous...simple, but stunning!

The flowers of the entire wedding were perfect for the atmosphere of the location. I just loved her bouquet.

Some AMAZING portraits of the bride and groom...they know how to work the camera ;-)

I just loved these two...probably my favorites :-)

The ceremony presented it's own set of details that made the day even more lovely...this pickup was the perfect vintage touch.

The happiness of the entire family was evident all day, but especially when the beautiful bride walked down the aisle.

Husband and wife!

The reception decorations/details did not disappoint!

Well hello there! I'd like to welcome everyone to my new blog-site! I will be posting my most recent sessions and weddings here. I'm so excited about this...to have a place where current and future clients can come to see a peak of their photos! I invite everyone to take a few minutes and browse the site to get familiar. Everyone who knows me knows I don't like to write. So, with that said.......

Here's a glimpse of a wedding I second shot in August with the amazing Alissa Ferullo! Check her out at www.alissaferullophotography.com. Alissa has been a great help, mentor, and friend to me the past year and I am so grateful for her.

The weather in Sheridan was a bit crazy that day.....picture freezing cold temps one minute, melt your body temps the next, and then monsoon rains just a little while later! But the gorgeous couple embraced it beautifully and had fun :-)
