Capturing love in the Mountains

Colorado Wedding Photography & Videography

I’ve been capturing weddings since 2013 back when I lived in Nashville, TN. Funny story, but I actually skipped my College Graduation ceremony to film my first wedding for some friends. Now 10 years later, and a change of scenery from Tennessee to Colorado, I think it was worth it!

Since 2018, when my wife, Amy and I moved to Colorado, I’ve been capturing couple’s love in the mountains, the deserts and the forests across the Western United States.

I offer both Wedding Photography and Videography as standalone services or as a combination package for your day.

And if your wedding is not in Colorado, don’t hesitate to reach out! We love to travel are down to meet you wherever the adventure takes us.

Funny story, but I skipped my graduation day to shoot my first-ever wedding for some close friends.

Needless to say, it was worth it.

As a photographer & filmmaker, I view the world differently. It is a space to capture and create - moments in time, emotions, stories, and life itself - the victories and failures.

KIND WORDS

KIND WORDS

  • "From our initial engagement shoot in RMNP, through to our wedding day, we loved working with Caleb and Amy to document this exciting year of our lives. They happily ventured out onto hiking trails, indulged us in multiple shooting locations, all the while communicating very well, and most importantly producing some amazing shots. They always made us (and our family and friends) feel comfortable and natural which really shows up in the pictures. They have a terrific eye for the moment and captured the scenes in really creative ways. They work really well as a team, and it’s a nice bonus to have two shooters to capture both the moment, as well as the details of the beautiful Colorado environment. Would wholeheartedly recommend Caleb Clayton Film + Photo to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion,"

    • S + L

  • "Caleb and Amy's photography is one of a kind - moody and romantic. We worked with them for our wedding and were beyond stunned at the work they did. Each picture is unique, thoughtful and dreamy. Caleb and Amy were wonderful to work with - patient and calm with the ability to guide our entire bridal party of 21 people. Would recommend these guys 10/10 and already looking for another excuse to get some photos taken :)"

    • K + B

  • "Wow! We were absolutely blown away by our experience using Caleb as our wedding photographer. Caleb was so calm, cool & collected, and put us at ease throughout the whole day. I will also add, that Caleb was such a trooper- we got married outside on a ten degree day, and barely avoided frostbite and he just went with it. When we got our photos back (quicker than expected, too!), our jaws dropped. He made us look like the coolest people in the world. He captured the details, the venue, and all the moments perfectly. Caleb is well worth the investment. Your only problem will be figuring out which of your amazing photos to display in your home!"

    • K + C

  • "I'm not even sure where to start! Caleb is absolutely fantastic in every way. He was the most commented-on vendor at our wedding. Everyone said how kind, fun, and genuinely joyous he was. He is fully himself and also invites others to be the same. His talent in making videos is pure magic. Not only did he come to the middle of nowhere to be with us for a few days, he made us feel like friends instantly, and treats us as such still to this day. Our video is fun, emotional, and artsy in a way that I think only Caleb's eye and editing skill could accomplish. Thank you for being you Caleb! You were worth every penny and more. I'll be looking for an excuse to get another video from him sometime in the future. Definitely go with Caleb!"

    • H + J

  • "Caleb and Amy are nothing short of amazing. They are real, quality people that you can’t help but smile when you are around them. They shot our wedding in September and it was such a nice experience having them. We felt no pressure to take corny photos, everything was so natural. My husband and I even said we don’t remember taking many photos so were really curious what we would get as the final results. When the photos came in we were blown away. So many stunning photos from these two. We were incredibly pleased with all the photos. Caleb is a gem. Highly highly recommend."

FAQs

  • For my standard full-day wedding coverage, couples typically spend between 4-6K with coverage times varying from 6-9 hours.

    For Full Adventure Elopements or intimate weddings(under 25 guests) packages start at $4000 for 4 hours of coverage and go up to full-day coverage.

    I also offer a Simple and Sweet Elopement Package at $2500 for 2 hours.

    For more information or questions on pricing just say hey!

  • Photography is first. but I got my start in videography and offer combined packages (photo+video).

    I only take 10 video projects per year to maintain my high creative quality and make sure I’m giving each couple the time and attention to detail their film deserves, so don’t hesitate to reach out or bookings will fill up.

  • After you’ve checked out all the information I have to offer here from My Approach to my About Me, then shoot me a message and tell me all about yourself and your vision for your story!

    I’ll respond as soon as I can with information on availability and be as honest and open with you when it comes to answering any questions you still have.

    At the time of booking a non-refundable retainer of 50% of the package price is required and a short online agreement is filled out and you’re booked! The retainer price does come out of the final balance.

  • No. I don’t ever give out the RAW image files. editing is just as important to the creative process as shooting to me. a lot of times I will shoot a certain way on camera with a certain edit in mind.

    As for the Raw Video footage though this is highly discouraged; I do offer, as an add-on, all the clips delivered on a hard drive for $1000.

  • For standard weddings and elopements both photo and video, the turnaround time for photography is 12-16 weeks.

    For videography included, the turnaround time is 16 weeks minimum. this ensures that even during my busiest seasons I am giving your story the attention to detail and time it deserves as well as stretching my creativity.

  • Once the full set of photos is completed, I upload the images into a password-protected online gallery for you to see and share with any friends and family. the link will be shared with you via email and you will have Full Rights to download or print the full gallery.

    For video, the digital files will be transferred through Vimeo’s file-sharing service, where the completed videos will be uploaded in full high definition and available for download or to be viewed online.

  • I will absolutely travel! As far as travel rates go, I charge $350 for anywhere within the state of Colorado that is 50+ miles outside Denver, and a flat $800 for weddings and elopements outside of the state of Colorado.

    Getting married outside the country? No worries. Just shoot me a message and we can work something out. :) 

  • Yes! Definitely. I’m married and had a wedding, so I understand the stress of wedding budgets. To help with that, I’m extremely flexible on how couples choose to pay and when. The only required payment upfront is the 50% of the package price non-refundable retainer to book the date. After that, my only requirement is that the remaining balance is paid in full at least one week before the date of the event. Monthly or bi-monthly payment plans with reminders can be set up upon request!

  • Absolutely. As one of my favorite songwriters of all time (David Bazan) sings “Either way, you are worthy of love. you are worthy of love.” everyone has a story to tell and everyone is worthy of love whether that’s between people of the same gender or not. I want to capture your love and story.

  • For payments, I accept bank transfers, credit cards, checks, or cash. We do not currently accept any digital or cryptocurrency at this time.

  • My main camera is a Canon R5c which usually always has a Canon L II series 24-105mm attached to it for Photo & Video. I also use a, 35mm 1.8, a 50mm 1.4, and an 85mm 1.2 as well.

    I also currently have two Canon Mark IVs that Amy utilizes when shooting with me.

    For aerial coverage, I use a DJI Mavik II Pro.

    I edit in Lightroom & Photoshop for photography and use Final Cut Pro X for all video editing on a 15” Macbook Pro 2023.
