Cheyenne Ketcham | Wedding & Couples Photographer

I aim to impact my community in many ways with my business. Community is very important to me; I see every interaction I have, whether it’s with a client, another wedding vendor, or just another human on the street, as an opportunity for me to make a positive impact on the place I call home. Positivity, support, and kindness are some of the easiest things to spread within your community. I enjoy mentoring and collaborating whenever I can seize the opportunity. From hosting styled shoots for other vendors to participate in so that they can gain advertising and marketing materials, to volunteering my time to local school events, being involved in my community in the most positive of ways fulfills the purpose I started my business with: to make capturing priceless moments accessible to EVERYONE.  Read more>>
