EDITORIAL ELOPEMENT + WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, IN THE ROLLING FIELDS OF MICHIGAN
My goal is to document your story in a genuine & intentional way through playful + romantic prompts. I'm here to ensure you have the best day possible. From early planning to those last minute questions, I will be here throughout the entire process, not only as your photographer, but as your friend. My priority is making sure you feel well communicated with, and absolutely comfortable with having me photograph such a vulnerable and memorable chapter in your lives.
I will care deeply about you and your vision, and bringing it to life. My intention is to get to know you in a way that allows me to really capture your unique relationship, so that one day they can look back and remember those moments, and know they were real. I specialize in photographing love stories all over the Unites States (Michigan, Tennessee, Arizona, Florida), as well as around the world (Scotland, Ireland, London). You deserve to cherish these moments for a lifetime.

I’m Chel.
I’m a mama & wife to the sweetest boys. I am originally from Traverse City, but moved downstate to Clio, Michigan a couple years ago. I continue to photograph weddings all over the state, as well as around the US and worldwide.
I am down to earth, bubbly and fiercely passionate. Some say I am quirky, in a very endearing way.
Quirky + genuine, with a touch of sass

"I can not recommend Cheleana enough! She is so down to earth and sweet. It was our first time getting professional photo’s taken and Cheleana kept us laughing and focused the entire time. She is great at communicating and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. I will always recommend her and can’t thank her enough!"

"Cheleana was amazing to work with! Went above and beyond, listened to concerns we had, and even better, was able to control the family photo chaos on our wedding day. She stayed in constant contact with photo updates, and checking in about the wedding planning process. The actual wedding day, she battled the windy weather with grace, and got the most amazing photos. We look at them almost every day. Highly recommend her for shooting your wedding, it was well worth it, we are so grateful to have met and worked with her."
Josh + Rachel Roberts
Cheleana is everything I could have asked for and more! I am SO thankful we chose her as our wedding photographer. She gained a client for life, and I can't wait for her to continue documenting my life! Cheleana not only does phenomenal work, but her personality is what sells her business! I feel like I gained a photographer and a friend, and I am so thankful. My guests absolutley loved her, and she made taking photos SO much fun! She also created the timeline for the entire day. I truly couldn't have done it without her. SHE IS THE best!
