from the couple:

“I cannot possibly recommend Caleb and Amy enough!!! They are so incredibly talented and every single photo is stunning and beautiful. They perfectly captured how magical our elopement felt in the moment.

Amy and Caleb were super proactive ahead of the big day to understand what our goals were and what we wanted to capture. This made everything go so smoothly on vows day, and helped ease my nerves because I already knew what to expect. Also Amy and Caleb are generally fun so it was awesome to work with them and have them with us!

If you are trying to make a decision about who should capture your special day, look no further, you will not regret it.”
