Chelle’s calm, observant style suits couples who want photographs that tell the story of their day: laughter, tears, quiet glances and joyful chaos, all captured with attention and respect. How she works: Chelle starts by getting to know you—your relationship, priorities for the day, and the moments you most want preserved. On the wedding day she blends into the background to document candid moments, while guiding you through simple, natural portraits when needed. Communication, empathy and flexibility are central: Chelle adapts to venues across Halifax and surrounding areas, supporting same-sex and queer couples with thoughtful, inclusive service. While wedding photography is Chelle’s core speciality, she also offers portrait and family photography to complement her wedding work—ideal for engagement shoots, family formals, or anniversary sessions that tell the next chapter of your story. On occasion she accepts maternity, animal and business photography projects as additional services, but her primary expertise remains wedding and portrait work. Chelle cares about preserving memories in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Whether you want a quietly documentary record of your day or a balanced mix of candid storytelling and refined portraits, Chelle Wootten Photography delivers professional, heartfelt imagery rooted in connection, composition and compassion.
