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 Detroit estates and historic venues to waterfront celebrations in Northern Michigan, I document weddings with an editorial & heartfelt approach.

Cheleana is an amazing photographer and helped make our day go so smooth and captured all our beautiful moments! From the very beginning my husband and I felt great booking with Chel! She met with us and had multiple touch points with us between the time we booked with her and our wedding date. Our engagement session went so well and we were so happy with the photos so we really looked forward to continuing to work with her during the wedding. She stayed in touch and was really hands on as we got closer to the date, making sure she was connecting to the other vendors if needed and just offering her help if we needed anything and answering any questions we may have had as we got closer to the date. On our wedding day she was such a calming presence and really helped the day go smooth! She helped corral all of our friends and family to get great pictures and just really made the day so great. We have a large, loud family and she was still able to help keep the day on time and capture everything we had wanted. She delivered sneak peaks quickly - much more than we were expecting for a sneak peak - and we can’t wait to see the rest! If you want to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, helps hype you up and keeps the day running smoothly Chel is the one to hire! She’s amazing!

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. Amber, I sincerely hope you read this and know how much we appreciate everything you did for us. You made me feel, and look, like a goddess, even though I had no idea what I was doing.

On the day, both photographers were amazing to have by our side - not only did they capture phenomenal shots, but they also reminded us to take a moment and enjoy ourselves.

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.

Lol) Heather does an amazing job at keeping the energy going while also keeping the vibe lighthearted and chill. We felt comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. She is there for whatever YOU want. She helped me immensely with the timeline of my wedding day, and even would hop on phone/video calls with me if I had any questions or concerns leading up to my wedding day.

Cassie prepared written examples of our routine with creative ways to remember the moves in their succession.

We were blown away by the quality of his work and the value we received. We'd highly recommend Joshua Johnson Design to any couple and are already planning to book him again for future events.

Sarah is so incredibly talented. She remains very professional but is extremely personable, which makes it easy to capture all our favorite moments. I’ve used Sarah for ALL my photography needs (Engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn) and plan to be a life long client of hers because she’s just that amazing! Sarah has the best eye for the esthetics we all love, and some how makes it even better than your any of your inspirations. We are always impressed and happy with every photo we get back! We love Sarah! We recommend her so everyone!

Suzette and Brenda did a wonderful job from start to finish! The quality of their work was outstanding, and everything was offered at a very reasonable price — truly great value. They built the arch and other decorative items on-site (in Traverse City, MI) to ensure everything was perfectly customized and positioned, and their attention to detail really showed. Communication was excellent throughout the process. They took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions based on my preferences, which made the whole experience feel very personal and stress-free. The setup and tear-down were seamless — efficient, organized, and handled with total professionalism. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommended!

I’ve worked with Modesrah of I Need Henna Art Company multiple times. She is always professional and her art is extraordinary. What makes her a master at what she does, however, is her natural ability to put people at ease. She has a very calm, assuring presence. Every client comes away with more than just art; they have a deeply meaningful, memorable experience!

Savannah was so great to work with for our wedding in June 2023. She was prompt in replying to questions, helped us figure what to purchase to stock the bar, and sent two experienced bartenders that were outstanding! They showed up on time, ready to work and handled a large bar crowd very well. No one waited for cocktails, which was a priority for us. I would highly recommend Savy Bartending!

Allison is so amazing! She was incredibly professional, so kind, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough. We have such beautiful pictures to cherish forever. She’s amazing with direction and helping you pose naturally, so all of your pictures look genuine instead of forced. She is so wonderful at what she does!

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.
