Hey, I’m Chelsea—the person behind Gallagher Photography.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Vassalboro, Maine, serving couples and families throughout Maine and New Hampshire. I’m also a wife, a mom, and usually the person trying to squeeze in a little horse time between editing galleries and getting kids where they need to go.

My photography is natural, true to color, and full of the people and moments that matter to you. I love a beautiful portrait, but I’m just as interested in the laughter afterward, your mom fixing your dress, or the way your partner looks at you when you aren’t paying attention.

If being photographed makes you nervous, you’re in good company. I’ll help you find the light, tell you what to do with your hands, and give you enough direction to feel comfortable. When those real moments happen, I know when to step back and let them unfold.

Whether I’m helping you plan your wedding photography timeline or welcoming your family into my home studio, I want you to feel taken care of. You can bring your excitement, your nerves, your wild kids, and your wonderfully imperfect people. We’ll make something meaningful together.
