Cheleanamarie Photography

Clio, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Bay City, MI

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 29 year old mama + wife to the sweetest boys. Loved ones would describe me as warm, bubbly, quirky, and down to earth. I started my photography journey at the end of 2014, and am entirely self-taught. I was born and raised in Traverse City, but moved down to Clio, Michigan 2 years ago! However, I continue to serve all of Michigan, as well as locations around the US and worldwide. I am a coffee obsessive (think Lorelai from Gilmore Girls) with a joy for nature + traveling. I love reading, all genres of music (sucker for Luke Combs, Elvis, Benson Boone), true crime, cringe reality TV + psychological thrillers!

Cheleana is not only a talented and hardworking photographer, she is an amazing person. She makes you feel so confident throughout the whole process, and goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. Of all the booking choices I made for my wedding, this was the best one! We adore her and her work.

Although I can offer plenty of guidance in posing and setup, I have never lost sight of the importance of the candid and spontaneous moments. I strive to create balance between the two with every wedding I shoot.

My wedding photos were one of the most important things to me on my wedding day, as it is most brides, because they capture the memories made that’ll last a lifetime. Working with Ryan eliminated absolutely any stress I had of getting the perfect photos. Starting with the planning process he helped guide our “day of wedding” schedule and added input to ensure we got every photo we wanted. During our wedding day he made everyone feel VERY MUCH at ease. Our bridal party was laughing, joking, smiling, having an amazing time and nobody felt they were put into awkward poses and that was evident when we received our photos back. The natural feel of every photo is priceless! Ryan went above and beyond and I could not be happier with choosing him to photograph our wedding! 20/10 recommend.

Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Connie was so sweet to work with and the images she captured brought us to tears. We flew to Chicago from CA to elope on Leap Day in City Hall and it was insanely busy! Connie arrived on time and we were running late. Due to the volume of couples waiting to get married, we waited 75 minutes to be finally called back. Connie took detail photos of us without us even noticing while we waited. She also had the idea to record our ceremony and it’s a video I treasure. She thankfully had some flexibility in her schedule to allow us to add additional time to get the shots we wanted since most of our scheduled time was taken up by waiting to be called. We loved the movement in her photos, capturing us throughout the city, and let us just bask in the newlywed bliss after the anticipation of waiting all morning. She captured the small smiles and looks between us and let us just be us, something we wanted most for our elopement. She gave us some direction but mostly let us move naturally, so if you feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, take a shot of Malört and loosen up! We would love to work with Connie again and so glad we chose her for our experience. But if you’re booking on a special date, make sure you give yourselves plenty of time!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an elopement at San Francisco City Hall and hired Love Knot Photography to take care of the photos and our social media videos. It was really great to work with someone so talented with a camera. My wife gets nervous when taking pictures and Isaac had a great personality and calm approach that really helped her enjoy the process. I think the photos of candids at the ceremony are so beautifully crafted it really shows how special of a moment it was for us. The portraits of the two of us, as well as my family that was there are really dear. I'm super beyond pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you!!

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway!

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Lindsay Elaine Photography

Portage, MI
  • Editorial style

  • Serves Bay City, MI

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

My budget made me nervous, as a lot of photographers charge a lot more than I could afford (which is totally fair, that’s on my budget, not their prices). MSMP met me with so much kindness, support, and flexibility, and the photos are better than I ever could have dreamed!! My wedding photos went from the biggest source of anxiety to an absolute treasure, I’m so eternally grateful!

Lucia is the most genuine and talented photographer - if you have any doubts, let them go! You won’t be disappointed by working with her :) Lucia captured our wedding back in July 2022 and the photo quality, the shots, and entire process was JUST what we wanted. From the initial consultation, I knew working with her would be a great fit because she was professional, passionate about her work, collaborative with ideas and also provided direction when I was unsure. The day of, we didn’t have to worry about anything because she worked with our wedding planner to ensure the shots we wanted got done, and taking the photos with her felt so natural! From giggly and candid to artistic and dramatic couple shots, Lucia captured a wide array of poses of us that are absolutely timeless. While there was a technical issue with some of the photos, Lucia handled the situation with grace and sincere apologies. We were lucky to get a discount and a complimentary session with her to make up for the loss of photos - and honestly it couldn’t have worked out more perfectly… the following year she came out to our town and took our maternity shoot 3 All of the photos she’s taken of us have captured the love my husband and I share, and it’s such a wonderful keepsake to have for the rest of our lives. It’s wild to think that our relationship with Lucia started with just shooting our wedding, to our maternity sessions, and soon-to-be baby session. She’s truly captured our love story and each major milestone, and now we’ve gained a friend in the process :) We can’t thank her enough for everything and the time and effort she puts into producing stunning galleries for her clients is well worth it. We can’t recommend her enough!

I worked with Anna as a second shooter last year, and watching the care and passion she put into her clients wedding day was truly inspiring! She was kind, genuine, thoughtful, and paid so much attention to even the little details. I'm truly excited to work with her again!

Jenni was an all star for our wedding! Not only was she so thoughtful and helpful (lifting my dress, throwing my veil), but it was if she wasn’t even there. she is very talented with not only catching the moments on film, but also editing and making the video flow.

Bailee has worked numerous weddings with me as my second shooter. I have chosen Bailee to second shoot with me because I know that she can handle and take on the day by herself as needed. I know that she will capture the photos that are needed for my couples and always exceeds my expectations of her. She goes above and beyond for me every time always asking if there is anything more that she can do for me. She excels both as a second shooter and a main photographer at the weddings that she takes on by herself. She is an all-around rockstar and takes a lot of pride in what she does. If you are looking for someone who will blow your expectations out of the water she is your gal.

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather was incredible. She was professional, meticulous, and was extremely easy to work with. She sent us a mood board with colors and tones we love, and we felt totally prepared for pics. With kids, photos can always be stressful. Heather brought a speaker with songs and the kids had such a great time. She took her time with poses and let the kids run and play and got amazing candid shots of us. We were thrilled with the final shots and we absolutely would recommend her to friends and family!! Heather was amazing to work with and we know you would be more than happy with the final shots! Thank you Heather!!!

I’m a Sunshine State native, a Pisces, and a lover of the outdoors. Photography is my favorite way to connect with people. The ability to freeze a memory to look back on for years at a time is what kept me wanting more. I am forever in awe that taking photos allows me to create art, while also giving people stories to reflect on down the line.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Sufia through a recommendation from another Central Florida photographer, and we're so glad that we crossed paths with her! We booked her for our small wedding in March of 2021, and shortly after that booking we had engagement photos done. She had perfect recommendations for locations that would fit us, and was also so sweet and patient with our pup that we brought along for the morning too. Even in the super humid Florida weather, we had a great time doing our session and we loved the pictures- They're hanging in our house now! Once our wedding rolled around, Sufia and her partner for the day were lovely to work with- My husband and I are both pretty introverted, but they made the environment relaxing and fun. Sufia found ways to inject little pieces of our life into the final photos, which is so special to get to look back on- Even managing to get in some fun pictures with our very young nieces and nephews, which is no small feat with so many personalities in play. I loved our experiences so much, and actually booked her again just this month for some couple photos to commemorate a personal event. Of course the logistical things are important- she's prompt, professional, and the quality of her work is wonderful- but on top of that, she's simply a great individual with a warm, kind energy, and a genuine desire to gift others with memories of their most special days. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do it!

I began, 2017; ‘Editorial Fashion’ working with modeling agencies. Then doing my 1st wedding by request in Taiwan for a Luxury Editorial style wedding. I completely fell in love with wedding imagery and the process that all goes into the experience. From there ‘I’ became ‘we’ as my team grew. Having refined our Luxury Editorial Image over the years!

Britney was so easy to work with and had a great plan for getting pictures during the moment of the surprise proposal. She gave us ALL of the raw photos (600 for us) in addition to her edits. We have so many good photos, highly recommend!

The joy and magic that fills weddings is one of my favorite things to photo and film. Getting to photo and film weddings is an excuse to constantly remember my own fairy tale wedding (which we used Zola to help plan!) Wedding photos and videos document your special day for posterity, but they also capture the beginning of your future together. Let me have the honor of photographing or videoing Chapter One of your happily ever after.

My husband and I had a photographer that had an extenuating circumstance a couple days before our event and Adam came through huge for us! He was incredibly easy to talk to, listened to our vision and ran with it — we were blown away by his incredible creativity, quick action, and kindness. He will support you, get the most amazing shots for you and leave you with beautiful memories to look back on. I’m so grateful for Adam and his team for capturing our event! I highly recommend his services.

Your wedding is unique. You spend countless hours planning everything so it fits within your vision of your special day. You analyze different dress and tuxedo styles, and browse floral shops dreaming up your centerpieces and bouquets. Your wedding day should be special, and that’s what we want to capture. Mulberry & Sage is a unique professional wedding photographer team based out of Port Huron, Michigan. We have over 15 years of combined photography experience, and have teamed up to offer our couples an experience unlike any other.

Not only were Courtney & Megan our engagement & wedding photographs (spanning 3 states, thanks covid), but they came highly recommended from friends and family from past weddings and senior photos. They’re willing to travel, they’re highly energetic, and their work is professional and often times an incredibly quick turnaround. When we ultimately decided to have a mini ceremony and postpone our celebration, they were one of the very few vendors we decided to keep for both events. Don’t wait to book!
