A MICRO WEDDING MEANS
-Relaxing / stress free
-Avoiding the anxiety that comes with having a huge audience
-Confidence to be your complete self
-Having the people there that really matter to you the most, that you are genuinely comfortable to be around
-Saving money on areas that don't matter as much to you, and splurging on what does
-Intentional interactions, that don't feel rushed
-Having a timeline that feels perfectly paced

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 absolutely 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!
"Chel is THE BEST photographer, we cannot recommend her enough!! She is the sweetest, most gracious human and her work is to die for. She goes above and beyond in everything she does. Booking her will be the best decision you ever make! We will cherish our photos forever."

"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."
"Cheleana did an amazing job at our wedding. We got married in Grand Rapids, and she was so helpful throughout the whole process. She got our photos to us in a quick matter, and they look beautiful. I 10/10 recommend her for any of your photography needs!"
