"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."

relive it all
Your completed wedding gallery will be delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding date. Every image is carefully selected and refined to ensure a consistent, polished final presentation.
A small preview is provided within the first few days following your wedding.
You can expect a thoughtfully curated gallery of approximately 75–100 images per hour of coverage. Every image delivered is intentionally selected and refined, prioritizing quality and storytelling over volume.
In the rare circumstance that I am unable to attend due to an emergency, I maintain strong relationships with a trusted network of experienced professional photographers. A comparable photographer would step in, and I would remain involved in post-production to ensure your gallery reflects my style and standards.
Your wedding day will always be covered.
Yes, I love incorporating 35mm film and, when it feels fitting, Super 8 into a wedding day.
Film brings an organic softness and depth that feels nostalgic yet refined. The subtle grain, natural tones, and movement add another layer to how your celebration is preserved.
If you’re drawn to that layered, heirloom quality, we can absolutely talk through how it might fit into your day. Some couples choose to incorporate it intentionally, while others prefer a fully digital approach — both are beautiful.
Yes. I document weddings throughout Michigan and select destinations. Travel accommodations are discussed during the proposal process to ensure clarity from the beginning.
