COLORADO WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPER AND VIDEOGRAPER

“We were super fortunate in finding Caleb & Amy through a referral as we were looking for a fairly last-minute photography + videography booking for our elopement with just our closest family and friends in Joshua Tree. From the get-go, understanding that our wedding was only a few weeks away, Caleb & Amy were extremely accommodating in getting on a call with us that very day after linking up through email. Priscilla, my partner, and I felt at ease the moment we hopped on the video call with Caleb & Amy, and just based on our initial email exchange and brief intros, it felt like we were on the same page as far as the vibe and general planning of our wedding day. The follow up emails and video call all really helped to organize the day for us in our minds - this was really, really important for us as with our elopement (which was a small, intimate gathering of around 10 people), we didn't have a traditional planner to help us with the ins and outs of the day. In the lead up, the structure and plans that Caleb & Amy helped to paint not only set the tone for the shooting schedule, but also the day itself.

This was also right around the time that there were some issues with airports and flight cancellations, and while it didn't come to pass, they mentioned that if we came upon a worst-case scenario with a cancelled flight, they would be driving from Colorado to Southern California - that is some dedication to your professional commitments! Furthermore, it rarely rains out in the desert, but as luck would have it (truly), we were blessed with rain on our special day. Immediately, we got on another video call to discuss contingencies and what to generally expect, and honestly, both of us felt at-ease about our day - come rain or high water.

On the day of, it really was an absolute pleasure working with Caleb & Amy. Everyone felt at ease from the beginning, and it was just an awesome time taking the pictures and spending time throughout the day. In between Caleb & Amy giving us our cues to make sure they were getting the best shots, the conversations & company was great which helped do away with any feelings of anxiety & nothing ever felt forced, even in the slightest. Going back to the weather, it did indeed rain on and off throughout most of the day, but Caleb & Amy helped us navigate, and we would argue, got more out of the weather than the other way around! No time was wasted when we had moments of stillness whilst not ever feeling rushed about a thing. With both their experience and expertise, we were able to navigate our first look and vows by shuffling the plans a bit to suit the weather. It all worked out perfectly, we were always asked whether we were OK with this or that change, and honestly, whilst everything may not necessarily have gone according to plan, it went exactly as we would have wanted it! We had a brief 15 minute window of the rain stopping (Caleb & Amy were tracking the clouds & weather throughout), and we took that chance to go outside, exchange vows, and do our thing, which was always part of the plan. That whole sequence is one of my favorite memories from that day (on a day filled with such).

We've only had a chance to look at the sneak peek images so far, but wow! The pictures are stunning, and I daresay the duo's mastery of their craft & versatility is on full display with how the pictures came out given the various unexpected conditions we dealt with. The day would not have been what it was without their presence, and for this, we'll always be grateful. For anyone reading this & in need of an elopement photographer + videographer, do yourself a service and, at the very least, add Caleb & Amy to your (short) list of vendors to reach out to. To Caleb & Amy - cheers to the both of you again!”

“Caleb and Amy are some of the nicest most personable people you will ever meet. Far before my husband proposed to me he had been following Caleb’s work and the moment he found them he knew that they were going to do our elopement photos and video (no quotes and no other shopping around, they were it without a doubt). Then after he proposed he showed me their work and I also immediately agreed, they were exactly what we wanted!

During the elopement they were amazing! They know what they are doing and they were very open to all our thoughts and ideas while also knowing how to fill in the blanks and keep capturing every second of the magic. Our venue, the San Juan mountains (one of several sites they recommended), was incredible but even that was outshined by their beautiful personalities! They made our special day so magical and made us feel like we’re were the only thing that mattered, which is exactly what every couple wants.

And now, after we’ve gotten our photos and our video, we are absolutely thrilled that we chose Caleb and Amy to capture this incredible day. We could not have asked for anything better. Their work is jaw dropping! Whether you choose them for an elopement or a traditional wedding, they are without a doubt going to blow you away. However it is you’ve come to find them, just stop searching, you’ve found the right place and there is no need to keep looking. They’ve got the stuff and you MUST pick them!

Caleb, Amy, we want to thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. It would not have been the magical experience it was without the two of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“When my Fiance I and initially decided to elope in Colorado we knew a local photographer was a must have, as we are not local nor had we ever travelled there. Risky choice, I know but were both suckers for an adventure. My first turn was to Instagram searching for hashtags and on elopement pages I had previously found while we were in our first stages of planning. Lo and behold I came across some of Caleb’s older works, moody black and white portraits that screamed of emotion and depth despite their lack of color. I shared several photos with my Fiance comparing to a few other photographers I had also found and we quickly decided that the choice was a no brainer.

The process was honestly the easiest thing about our elopement planning and I am forever grateful for all of the assistance both Caleb and Amy provided us in narrowing down places and our ultimate timeline. By the time we finally met them on elopement day it was like reuniting with old friends who you hadn’t seen in a while, which definitely helped to ease the inevitable day of nerves. There wasn’t a single moment of silence as we set out to hike the three miles to our vow location, even as Caleb continued to shoot and scout later locations for us to explore.

Looking back every bit of the day feels magical almost like a dream, a dream forever memorialized by the beautiful photos and footage captured. Among my favorites are two candid shots, one taken during a break on the initial hike featuring my fiancee and I uncontrollably laughing (at what, who knows) and the other of my hands thrown in the air screaming “we did it” just after finishing our vows and sealing it with a kiss.

All in all we could not possibly be happier with the decision of hiring Caleb and Amy. If you’re one for adventure I promise you will be too.”

“It’s hard to put into words how incredibly talented Caleb and Amy are. They were both an integral part of our elopement and we can’t recommend them enough. We found Caleb’s website via The Knot and immediately felt connected to Caleb + Amy just from reading their bios. During our intro call, we felt comfortable from the start and loved how many ideas they brought to the table. They challenged us in the best ways, and simultaneously understood our vision all in one swoop.

Throughout the planning process, Amy made us feel at ease with her timely updates and clear communication. Per Caleb and Amy’s suggestion, we decided to do a sunrise ceremony, so the two of them arrived to our hotel at 2:30am with huge smiles, ready to adventure. Their personalities and energy made us feel like we had just connected with old friends, even though it was our first time meeting in person. Caleb captured our elopement even more beautifully than we could have imagined. Our video was not only delivered within the provided window, but Caleb ensured that it was delivered to us in time to watch it during a post elopement celebration with friends and family!

If you’re considering hiring Caleb Clayton Film + Video, stop overthinking it and snag the date before someone else does! You won’t have one regret and you’ll have the most beautiful video and photographs to cherish for years to come. You’ll also find that the world gets a little brighter with these two incredible souls in your life. They pour so much love into their work and it truly shows.”
