I'm Chel, a Michigan-based wedding photographer specializing in meaningful celebrations, and candid storytelling. I photograph weddings throughout Michigan and beyond, creating images that feel natural, connected, and true to the people in them.

From the very first moment we stepped in front of Cheleana's camera, we felt like we were friends—her warm and welcoming spirit made us instantly comfortable. Over the years, we have shared nearly every significant life event with her, and we can't imagine our lives without our annual sessions! Cheleana always goes WAY above and beyond to capture the perfect shot, guiding us effortlessly throughout the process. It's like magic; you don't even realize it's happening! With her easy chit-chat and infectious laughter, every session feels like a joyous reunion. What stands out the most about our experience with Cheleana is her genuine heart and love for photography and people. Every time we work with her, it feels like we are her only and favorite clients. Nothing about our sessions feels fake or repetitive; it’s truly special. The artistry in her photos is astounding—it's hard to believe a magazine hasn’t snatched her up yet! Each image is infused with emotion, making them feel like art. The editing is tastefully done, allowing us to feel elevated and confident while remaining 1000% ourselves. Her candid shots are my absolute favorite; many of the photos she’s taken of my husband and me, as our family has grown, have brought me to tears. She has given me the priceless gift of slowing down time and cherishing this beautiful life! She is worth Every. Single. Penny!!! Working with Cheleana is an absolute delight. Her fun-loving and laid-back personality makes everything incredibly smooth and comfortable, even when working with little ones and occasionally reluctant husbands! She always has a great joke ready and a treat in her pocket—I'll let you figure out which one is for whom! :p Plus, she goes the extra mile by asking ahead of time if it's okay to give something to the little ones, which shows her thoughtfulness and professionalism. Honestly, we have witnessed her handle every situation over the years with extreme grace and professionalism—whether it was battling the heat on our wedding day while super pregnant or navigating crazy weather, or finding the perfect spot for our photos. There’s absolutely no room for improvement in our eyes; we just hope she never leaves us! Cheleana has truly become a part of our family, and we look forward to many more years of capturing memories together. Thank you, Cheleana, for everything you do! If you’re thinking of booking…. DO IT!! Trust me!!!! She will make you feel like you had the wedding of the century and you’ll want to stare at the pictures on your walls for decades!!!

What can I say about Amber… I could not have imagined a better photographer for our wedding! She was professional, excellent at communication prior to our big day, and best of all FUN! She was SO good with our kids and so accommodating. She legitimately felt like one of our guests while still somehow managing to capture every beautiful moment of our day. We have only seen our preview so far (just got marrie two days ago) but every single photo is gorgeous.

Through countless hours of learning and dedication, I’ve built a thriving photography business that I truly love. Capturing genuine emotion and real connection is what drives me. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

We could not be more happy with Angela and Kat!!!! They made our wedding SO simple and easy. I am such an anxious person and I hate getting my photos taken, but they made it feel so effortless! Kat was so uplifting and kind as well, such a big help on such a crazy day!!! She designed a perfect timeline for us and we were even a little bit early! I had her take out some time for my husband and I to relax and truly we didn’t even need it because we just felt so comfortable with them and it did not feel like a chore. Everything was so perfect and I could not recommend her more! We just recently did our family pictures with her and we had no doubts she would do amazing! She is amazing with giving directions to our 2 year old as well! It’s hard enough to try and get pictures with a toddler but again she just makes it feel so effortless. We will continue to get all of our family pictures from Angela! If anything I recommend getting the full packages with more photos because you are going to love them all!!!!!

Samantha Lee Photography was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was extremely fast and detailed, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, Samantha's positive attitude and fantastic time management skills were a huge asset - she got all of my groomsmen, who usually hate having their pictures taken, to smile and feel comfortable. I never felt rushed, and Samantha made sure to capture every photo I had imagined. At the end of the night, when her time was technically up, she noticed me dancing with my dad (who I don't have the best relationship with) and pulled her camera back out to capture that special moment. It meant so much to me, and is just one example of how Samantha went above and beyond. I will forever recommend Samantha Lee Photography to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

Vogt’s Flowers and Gifts did a beautiful job on my wedding! They were very kind and quick with communication. Kreg did my appointment and Suzette designed my beautiful flowers. I was never stressed knowing I had them on my team! All of the arrangements were perfect and exactly what I wanted. I feel like they knew what I wanted before I knew! I even got to come in the day before my wedding to see my flowers! They were efficient setting up at my wedding, and they made the space beautiful. They have an amazing team and I would recommend them over and over again. I was proud to tell all my guests and other vendors that asked (and there were a lot of them) that Vogt’s did my flowers!

We had the pleasure of working with I Need Henna Art Company for our wedding festivities. They were incredibly helpful in assisting us with planning, coordinating, and decorating for our mehndi and nikkah ceremonies. Throughout the process, they were very patient and provided guidance. They listened to our ideas and offered great suggestions. They were very resourceful. They were organized and ensured everything ran smoothly. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the experience and would highly recommend their services!

She is 11/10! We got married on 9/16/23 and had Allison as our photographer! I’ve known her for a long time and Not only was she very professional to work with but she also helped out in areas needed with getting ready, while capturing all the moments to be remembered! I do not regret my decision to chose her and will use her for future photo needs!

  • Does not allow pets
The Graham Banquet Center was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception. Their staff was prompt and professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day, which we really appreciated during the hectic planning process. On the wedding day itself, the venue space was clean and lovely - the perfect backdrop for our celebrations. The team was there helping us from the very start of the event until the end, ready to accommodate any needs or requests we had. They were truly invested in making our day go smoothly. We would wholeheartedly recommend the Graham Center to other couples looking for a receptive, reliable venue that delivers great value with their services.
