Based between Los Angeles and Park City, Chantel documents weddings across the United States and abroad. Her presence on a wedding day is calm and confident. Her direction is gentle and her timing is instinctive. She notices the details of a room just as much as the people in it.
Chantel Safford photographs weddings with an eye for the full picture. The fashion, the design details, the connection between a couple and everyone in the room. She shoots on both digital and film, using the two in tandem in a way that feels considered and intentional.
Raised in the heart of Southern California, Chantel has always drawn inspiration from the diversity and easygoing lifestyle around her.
With years of photography experience and a formal education in the arts, Chantel brings both skill and intention to capturing meaningful moments in a way that feels authentic and visually refined.

Chantel is truly the best photographer you could ever have by your side during your wedding weekend. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a fun, caring, and talented person with us on our special day.

Her warmth, extreme kindness, and genuine spirit really set the tone for our entire experience. She was the calming presence that helped keep our day stress-free and so seamless!!"
"We cannot stop going through the gallery and find a new favorite picture every time we do."
-Bride Macy R.
I had originally considered an Italian photographer, but having someone who could speak our language was invaluable for the photo experience. On the big day, she was the perfect blend of calming and efficient, ensuring she captured every beautiful moment without intruding.
"I would recommend any bride thinking of splurging on a destination wedding consider bringing Chantel along to make sure all your hard work is captured perfectly."
