As someone who had an intimate backyard wedding back in 2017, I know the pressures that are put on us to "do it the traditional way." I know the stress of trying to figure out who makes the cut for some big wedding guest list, even though you know that's not what you want. I know the anxiety of trying to sort out all the planning.
I'm here to help you enjoy your day. You deserve to relax, and appreciate the day for what it really is.

about Cheleana marie
"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."

A Limited, Highly Intentional Offering
35mm Film & super 8, Offered
Coverage Designed Around Experience, Not Hours
An Editorial Eye with a Documentary Heart
My collections are intentionally designed to integrate seamlessly with a full planning team.
Rather than offering rigid, hour-based packages, my coverage is built around how your day is meant to feel. Time is approached thoughtfully and intentionally, allowing your celebration to unfold naturally—without watching the clock. This flexibility creates a more relaxed atmosphere and imagery that reflects the true rhythm of your day.
I intentionally take on a limited number of luxury micro weddings and intimate celebrations each year. This allows me to provide a highly personalized experience and the level of care couples expect when investing in high-end wedding photography. From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, your wedding receives focused attention and thoughtful storytelling at every stage.
I work closely with planners to support the overall vision, honor the timeline, and protect space for real moments to unfold—without pulling focus or creating unnecessary pressure. The result is a smooth, elevated experience that allows everyone to do what they do best.
My approach to luxury micro wedding photography blends an editorial perspective with documentary storytelling. Rather than over-directing, I focus on real moments, refined composition, and natural emotion—creating timeless imagery that feels elevated, honest, and deeply personal. This balance allows your wedding to be documented artfully while still reflecting the true experience of the day.
For couples drawn to depth, nostalgia, and texture, I offer 35mm film photography and Super 8 motion as part of the wedding experience. These formats add a timeless, cinematic layer to your wedding story—capturing moments in a way that feels emotional, imperfect, and beautifully real.
Most wedding collections are built as one-size-fits-all. Yours isn’t. Every detail of your coverage is thoughtfully shaped around the way your day is meant to unfold.
You’re not planning a traditional wedding, and your photography coverage shouldn’t feel one-size-fits-all. Instead of preset timelines and unnecessary add-ons, your collection is designed around the way your day will actually unfold.
Each package includes what every intimate wedding truly needs, with coverage tailored specifically to your timeline, priorities, and pace—because no two celebrations are the same.

Yes, your wedding is entirely unique - but I know the secret recipe for a smooth and enjoyable wedding day.
I spent far too many years watching couples spend so much time and money into weddings they didn't even get to enjoy, some ending in tears over the stress of trying to make it all perfect for everyone else. But that's not how a wedding should feel like. It should feel like the best day of your life, alongside your favorite human.
But it ends here.
Whether you envision a private ceremony in the mountains of Sevierville, or a quiet elopement along the rolling sand dunes of Empire, I can help you genuinely enjoy your wedding day, because it's quite literally your day - and you absolutely deserve every dang minute of it.

frequently asked questions
Micro wedding galleries are thoughtfully delivered within 6–8 weeks, with a small collection of sneak peeks shared about one week after your wedding.
On average, couples receive approximately 75 images per hour, carefully curated and hand-edited to tell the full story of the day.
For those who’d love their gallery sooner, expedited delivery is available for an additional investment.
Your intimate day is one of the most cherished moments of your life, and my commitment to you is unwavering. In the unlikely event of an emergency of illness, please rest assured that I have taken all necessary precautions to ensure you receive the very best service and care.
I have a network of trusted professional photographers who share my dedication and style, ready to step in, if needed.
All wedding packages require a non-refundable retainer fee of $1,800 to hold their date. I do accept flexible payment plans!
Because my approach is rooted in documentary storytelling, it’s important to me that your day never feels rushed or over-structured. The most meaningful images happen when you’re able to slow down and actually be present.
Rather than fitting your wedding into a preset number of hours, we create a custom timeline and coverage built entirely around your plans, priorities, and pace, because no two celebrations are the same.
While many photographers charge extra as the day unfolds, my collections are intentionally designed to include the time your day truly needs.
Where all-inclusive meets thoughtfully customized—the best of both worlds
