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.

I know that heavy stress of trying to figure out who makes the cut for your big wedding guest list before you realize that's not what you really want. I have felt the anxiety of trying to sort out all the planning. I skipped the headache and did it my way, and you should too, because it's your day.
I am here to help you enjoy your wedding day, and the process leading up to it, as well.

about my why
"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."

EXPERIENCE
I don't want your day to feel rushed, because I care about your experience. I have a documentary approach for a majority of the day, and prioritize the day feeling stress free.
You're here to dream up the vision;
I'm here to handle the stressful parts.
I will design a full custom timeline, as well as help you find all your vendors. I'm a planner, at heart.
Your package includes full travel; no hidden fees. That's not how I roll over here. Everything is direct & up front.
I am a lover of film, and love being able to offer both digital and film. Hybrid shooting.
the problem with other wedding packages out there is that they are designed for a traditional wedding day - not your micro wedding. But mine are tailored to you.
You're not looking for a traditional wedding day package, and so it's exhausting when that's all you're seeing when searching for the right photographer.
That's where my packages differ, because I specialize in micro-weddings. My packages are 100% tailored for your intimate wedding day.
Heading
The issue with other wedding packages out there is that they aren't specifically MADE for couples WITH YOUR EXACT WEDDING DAY
You're not looking for a traditional wedding day package. So it's exhausting when all you're seeing are these generalized packages with a specified timeframe you're not sure you'll even need. Not to mention - the required add-ons, set up for a whole production.
That's where my packages differ, because they include what I know, hands down, every micro wedding needs - but the way I make it unique to each couple is by figuring out exactly how much time you need, and provide you with complete custom coverage & planning. Because you aren't every other couple.

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.

While I love to offer all inclusive packages because, I also think timeframe can be so unique couple to couple. Because I have a more documentary photography approach - it's important to me that your day doesn't feel rushed. For the best photos and experience, we will create a custom timeframe (custom coverage) based on your needs specifically because your day is unique and special.
While most photographers will make you pay more for additional coverage - my packages include the exact timeframe you're needing.
Where all inclusive meets unique & customized. The best of both worlds.
