i'm Thrilled to meet you.

My name is Chayse Gilmer and I am a WEDDING photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. My roots are in both 35mm film and digital photography—formats I use to tell stories with depth, honesty, and artistry.

My work blends the candid with the composed—somewhere between documentary and portraiture. I focus on those in-between moments, the quiet glances and wild laughter, giving space for real connection to unfold naturally in front of the lens.

Through imagery, I’m drawn to emotion, mood, and the atmosphere of a day. I find meaning in preserving not just how things looked, but how they felt.
