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.
What are you waiting for?

We loved working with Caleb! I initially found him by searching for a Colorado elopement photographer. From the first call, Caleb was so helpful with creating a timeline for our da...
y that best suited what we were looking for. He suggested items we could bring and brought some of his own to add into some of the photos. Leading up to the day of the elopement, Caleb kept in touch and made sure all of the final details were set. On the day of, there was an unexpected complication with our ceremony location. Caleb immediately called and told us to follow him. Little did we know, Caleb had arrived hours before and scouted multiple locations, including the one that ended up being our ceremony spot. Knowing he had a plan before I could even worry was truly priceless, and the new location ended up being even more amazing than what had been planned. Throughout the remainder of our time, he captured all of the photos I asked for, set us up for shots he had in mind, candids, photos with the items we brought, the scenery, and the wildlife. On the way to one of the preselected spots, he saw another spot that the light was hitting perfectly. He had us circle back and he took the most amazing photos. Caleb takes his time forming a plan for your day, but is always willing to make a detour to capture some amazing moments. I could not have asked for more from him and I would recommend him to anyone. His planning, professionalism, and care getting to know you is truly above and beyond!

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 clos...
est loved ones in Joshua Tree. From the get-go, Caleb & Amy were extremely accommodating in getting on a call with us that very day after linking up through email. Priscilla and I felt at ease the moment we hopped on the video call, 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 went. The follow ups all really helped to organize the day for us in our minds - this was really important for us as with our elopement (which was an intimate gathering of around 10 people), we didn't have a planner to help us with the ins and outs of the day. 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 expect, and 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. We all at ease from the beginning, and it was an awesome time taking the pictures and spending time throughout the day. In between the two giving us our cues to make sure they were getting the best shots, the conversations & company were great which helped do away with any feelings of anxiety & nothing ever felt forced, even in the slightest. It did rain 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 & expertise, we were able to navigate our first look and vows by shuffling the plans to suit the weather. It worked out perfectly, we were always asked whether we were OK with the changes, and honestly, whilst everything may not necessarily have gone according to plan, it went exactly as we would have wanted it! We had a 15 minute window of the rain stopping (Caleb & Amy were tracking the clouds 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!

We were fortunate enough to have Caleb/Amy shoot our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos--both turned out INCREDIBLE. It was an added bonus that they like dogs and were...
able to capture photos with our fur baby! Throughout the whole process, they responded to our emails and questions within a timely manner and provided helpful recommendations. The day of the wedding, they brought a calming presence (also wore very stylish matching jumpsuits) and we knew we were in good hands. Caleb and Amy are so kind, patient, talented, and professional--you can tell they love what they do.We definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

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.

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

We had such a great experience with Caleb and Amy as our wedding photographers and truly could not recommend them more!
We got married in Granby, Colorado and knew it was importa...
nt to find a photographer that would capture us as a couple alongside the beauty of the mountains. We could immediately tell Caleb would be able to do just that!
From our initial introduction call all the way to receiving our wedding album, Caleb and Amy made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Working with them throughout the planning process was a breeze as they answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. Day of, we felt so comfortable with Caleb and Amy, knowing they were getting all of the photos we were looking for while also letting us just enjoy time with our family and friends.
We cannot say enough about how stunning our photos are! As two people who don't spend much time in front of the camera, we were blown away at how well Caleb and Amy captured us, our love, and the joy we experienced with those we love the most. The photos are so special to us!
We would highly, highly recommend selecting Caleb and Amy for your wedding day. You absolutely will not be disappointed -- by your photos or the wonderful people taking them! Thank you so much to you both for capturing our day so perfectly!

The pictures could not have turned out better! Caleb and Amy captured everything about our special day! We are especially appreciative of the beautiful photos they got of our venue. The day went by so fast we didn't have a chance to really stop and take in our venue, so we really appreciate Caleb and Amy took time to capture every aspect of our day so we could look back and enjoy it. If you are looking for photographers who truly listen to you and work tirelessly to capture your vision, then Caleb and Amy are the photographers for you!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to book Caleb (and Amy) as our photo/videographer. They were so helpful with planning and helped find the perfect spots for our elopement. ...
They also were able to keep an eye on the weather and trail conditions leading up to our day to be better prepared with plans. They made us both feel very comfortable and helped make our day even more perfect!
Caleb’s work is AMAZING. When I was researching who to use, I kept coming back to Caleb because of his style and abilities. He was also very responsive when I reached out (a few others were very slow/didn’t respond for weeks). I really appreciated how on top of communication they were.
If you need photo/video for your day, don’t hesitate!

If you’re looking for a true professional that will put just as much care and effort into capturing the experience and intimacy of your wedding day as you could hope, Caleb Clayton...
is the photographer/videographer for you. Caleb photographed my wife and I’s wedding in the beautiful town of Sedona, Arizona. We couldn’t have been happier using his services!
He is so patient, flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. He will work to create exactly what you want your wedding day to be. And if you don’t know what exactly you want, he has the experience and knowledge to take control and give you a product that will 100% blow you away!
It’s obvious Caleb doesn’t do this because it’s his job. Creating these memories is his passion - he loves doing it. And the care and quality of his production pours through each image and each frame of video he captures.
You will not be disappointed hiring Caleb and it would be a mistake not to have him handle capturing your special day for you!

People have continued to comment on how the video looked like it was out of a movie and how they’ve never seen a wedding video done so well. He captured every intimate moment and creatively tied together our day in the most unique way. Also, he is insanely cool & a pleasure to be around. I would continue to recommend Caleb over and over and OVER again. Look no further, HE IS IT!!!!!

They captured the essence of our evening in a spectacular, beautiful manner, and were a source of ease in the midst of the whirlwind of planning and organizing that a wedding involves. Their attention to the details that make up the character of a wedding is impressive.
We're so glad we decided to have a photographer present at our wedding, and are immensely grateful that we now have such beautiful photos to remind us of those cherished moments at the beginning of our marriage.
