Chettara T. Photography

Chettara T. Photography Photographer. Artist. Geek. Based in Detroit but available to travel. My name is Chettara and I’m a photographer, artist, geek, and creative director.

PHOTOGRAPHER | CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I photograph honest moments, natural smiles, love at its finest, kickass brands, and musicians. I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your story as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons; it’s safe to say the British Broadcasting C

ompany basically owns my life. Photographs are a split second glimpse into life. Freezing a split second in time, so we can look back and remember, enjoy and/ or reflect. Celebratory times, ordinary times and even sad times....all of your experiences in your life help shape you, define you, enrich you and change you. I love to photograph those split seconds of your experience, so you can look back and feed your soul with images of where you've gone, who you are and who and what you love to love... and I love to do this by taking pictures of real life...of your real world...not forced smiles, in awkward poses, sitting by a brook. I want you and your every day moments...because let's be real...how much time do you spend posed in a field or forest? I'm betting, not many! Let me capture you and those split seconds of your life, so you can look back and see you, being you...and being with the people and things that you love.

This is a rare opportunity because I never host mini-tales of any kind there. If you don't want a Siren Tale and just want Portraits, we can do that as well, just let me know that in the questionnaire that comes with this booking form.

There’s a new space in Hamtramck, MI called Forever Club ( ) and whew… it’s giving retro Vegas chapel energy in the best way. 💜
They are absolutely living my dream over there and I’m so happy for them.

Because their packages can be as short as 30 minutes (true in-and-out Vegas style), I created RockxSea photo tales (packages) that blend their vibe with mine. My regular elopement package is 3 hours, but sometimes quick, meaningful, and easy is exactly the move.

✨ RockxSea at Forever Club ✨

Purple Sea
30 minutes | $350
For intimate moments and quick ceremonies where the focus is simply being present.
I document what naturally unfolds... the glances, the nerves, the laughter, the little details that say exactly who you are.

More Than Sea
45 minutes | $430
A little more room to settle in and let things happen.
Unforced, honest, full of feeling.

You Give Love a Sea Thing
1 hour | $650
Time for the ceremony, the pause after, and the quiet in-between where real emotion lives.

I Don’t Want to Miss the Sea
1.5 hours | $715
A fully immersive experience.
Nothing rushed. Energy, movement, connection, and moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

Instax Add-On
$75
Instant film captured along the way. Imperfect, tangible, and real.
Perfect for keepsakes, guests, or something to hold the same day.

All packages include:
• 30+ edited images
• 5 Instax minis

If you get the song references… pat yourself on the back, boo. 😌

And yes, I’ll always recommend my full 3hr Elopement Tale Package because it allows you to get married, wander the city, hit a park, grab drinks, snag matching tattoos, whatever feels like you. Elopements are about freedom. I just want you to have optionsssss.

Christmas in the City Mini-Tales
Perfect for couples, families, and branding! You can go as colorful or as neutral in tones as you wish, we'll have a blast. There will be laughter, dance breaks, and all the good vibes.

Campus Martius Park is one of my favorite places downtown during Christmas. I think it’s the hanging lights, the pups, events, and the city Christmas Tree decorated so beautifully. Sign up for a mini-tale in the ever changing and eventful park!

There are sometimes shops and/or Christmas Tree Shops out this time of year. Either way I’m ready!

25mins | 15+ Edited Images | Delivery in time for holiday cards.

Total Fee: $250 Retainer: $100

**I was asked if a coffee date at Dessert Oasis is possible if it's too cold and the answer is yes. We can even do a mix if time allows.**

Here’s the best part... you can grab your portraits, then stroll the market, sip coffee, shop local goods, and pick up fresh produce. A whole day of pouring back into you and the community.
