We got married in April and had the best time working with Cal! From the start, we felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. He really listened to what we wanted for our wedding video and helped us out every step of the way.
Cal captured our special moments without being intrusive, and his skill at capturing footage was truly impressive. The editing was exceptional, transforming our wedding day so that we felt like we were in a movie watching it back. We were particularly moved by the slow-motion shots of our first dance.
We highly recommend Cal to any couple planning their wedding. His talent, professionalism, and dedication to capturing the best parts of your day were exactly what we were hoping for.

Cal blew us out of the water, and exceeded our expectations. He is truly one of kind, from the moment we met him on our wedding day, he immediately became our friend. He was personable, approachable, kind, and encouraging. He was so timely in his video delivery (less than 2 weeks) and the video was the perfect reflection and summary of our day. Truly THANK YOU CAL, we will cherish this video forever.

CAL IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ARTIST!!! BOOK HIM IF YOU CAN GET HIM!!! I wish there was an option to give more than 5 stars, because Cal's wedding video was truly the highlight of our special day! It's hard for me to put into words how much his work has meant to us and our families. I get choked up every time I watch the video. We had a very small, family ceremony at our home followed by a dinner cruise and reception. Our highlight video has been PURE JOY for us to watch over and over, and our family members who were there all sent messages with how the video brought tears to their eyes and brought them right back to that special day. Here is what I did not expect but was so thrilled to find out: since we had only 30 family members present for our special day, the many close friends who were not present got to experience the day via Cal's video. EVERYONE who was not there and watched the video said it brought tears to their eyes and what is most magical is that they all said they felt like they were right there, experiencing the love and emotion with us. That meant the whole world to me as a bride, to be able to share the feelings of the day with the close friends who were not there. I think it takes a true visual artist to be able to capture those images and moments and then brilliantly curate and edit them and put it to music. As a psychologist, I also was so impressed at how Cal was so observant, and picked up on special little moments happening between our family members, between us, and with our doggie ring bearer! He brilliantly captured so many special little details of what was happening and those moments really show the kind of person Cal is and his emotional intelligence! He also managed to do all of this while being "a fly on the wall" and being totally unnoticed by my husband, who wanted to feel like the day was truly about us and not a photo shoot. Cal's drone footage was BREATHTAKING, as he flew it overhead and was able to show the unique features of the property, the lake front, and even flew the drone around us while we were having the dinner cruise without anyone even noticing! Cal absolutely nailed it. The last thing I'll say is that Cal has such a kind, warm, and sincere demeanor and he is gentle with brides or grooms who may be a bit uncomfortable in front of a camera. He was absolutely the perfect choice for us and by far the best wedding dollars spent on our day. Cal - we just love you!!!! We plan to host a big reception in a year and will have Cal capture that event as well. MORE than 5 stars from us, Cal! P.S. - If you're wondering, how can this guy who is so YOUNG have such talent and run such a successful business? Well, you just have to meet the guy. He is the definition of a prodigy.

Highly recommend Cal! He was so easy to work with and was great with communication. Very timely and had our wedding video done in less than 3 weeks to us! He did amazing work capturing everything and putting it together- we had a few request changes but he had no problem in doing them for us! Budget friendly too- so that’s always a plus for this industry!
Thanks so much Cal for all your hard work and amazing video put together!

Cal was overall amazing. From being calm, informative, Funny and working well with the other vendors.
Our wedding was in June 2023 and he was very communicative, listened to what our vision was and made it happen. And we also gave him free range to do what he did best! We got our highlight Video and raw footage and just overall amazing Job. We appreciate everything that he has done Before, During, & After the wedding.

I was unsure at first whether or not we were going to have a videographer at our wedding. I found Cal on The Knot and reached out for information. Cal was insanely helpful, so collaborative to work with, and created a wonderful wedding video for us to have forever. We had full choice over the music for our video and got the raw footage from the day. I keep watching it over and over again. Cal was so nice, so helpful, and overall great to work with! Highly recommend him for your big day!

Cal was friendly, flexible, and professional. My now husband was skeptical of getting a videographer, however, once he saw even just the highlight video he was happy we did so. On our wedding day, Cal was very easy to be relaxed around and dealt with a more particular photographer with ease.
Cal got all the important moments. When we shared our highlight video, we got nothing put fantastic responses. It was beautiful, captured the love from the day and brought tears to my eyes every time I have watched it so far. After watching the raw footage there was one part my husband and I wanted in the highlight video and he made it happen without any issues.
I could not have asked for a better experience or a better video as a memory of our perfect day.
Thank you again Cal! I appreciate all yoru hard work to make sure a heartwarming memory.

Cal was absolutely AMAZING! He was so great and easy to work with and captured awesome footage of our wedding day. Everyone has commented on what an amazing highlight video we have. Cal was also very accommodating when I wanted him to tweak the ending of our highlight video and adjusted it the same day. I can't recommend him enough!

I wish I could give Cal more than five stars! Working with him was one of the best vendor experiences I have had when planning my wedding. He is so talented and accommodating, and the price is unbeatable for the amount and quality of footage you get. My husband and I loved having him as part of our day, he is so easy to get along with and made us feel super comfortable, I hardly noticed when he was taking footage! If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, you should absolutely hire him for your wedding; our footage from Cal was worth every penny! The highlight video and raw footage was so important for me to have as the day flew by, and he captured every moment beautifully. Thank you so much, Cal!

Cal was amazing! He was on time and very professional. He was able to easily get around the ceremony and reception without anyone really noticing he was there. He got our video and raw footage back to us super fast. I LOVE the finished product. He was super sweet and I’m so glad we got to work with him. My photographer and coordinator loved him as well.

Where to begin… we were married in Somerset WI on October 16th 2021. Cal truly captured our wedding day PERFECTLY! The quality, editing, and creativity that our video displayed showed Cals expertise and knowledge for videography. He was easy to communicate with and so accommodating, not to mention he had our video back to us in just a few days. If we could give him more then five stars we would, he exceeded all of our expectations. We definitely recommend Cal to capture your wedding and allow you to relive your fairytale for years to come.

We had Cal as our videographer for our wedding at the Magnolia Mule Barn. I was on the fence for a videographer but decided to book last minute and he was so accommodating and helpful! He was such a pleasure to work with and explained how everything worked beforehand. He captured every special little moment of the day and we couldn’t be happier with his work! Allowing us to have the highlight video and raw footage made it even more special to see those tiny moments that we may not have noticed the day of. Super nice, great work, and amazing footage that we will cherish forever! Highly, highly recommend!

We hired Cal for videographer services and are beyond happy with his work. He is just starting out his career but he was professional and we hardly knew he was there all day! His turnaround time for the highlight video was quick and he was very reasonably priced. We have already had so many compliments on how great his work is—Hire him, you won’t regret it!

We used Cal as our videographer for our 10.9.21 wedding at Hope Glen Farms. He was truly amazing! He worked so well with us all day and our photographer. He was there practically all day long, he had no minimum of how long he would be there (which is amazing!). Not to mention, his prices were by far the best that we found out there. We also just got all our video footage and the short video he made for us back yesterday. That does not happen in the vendor world right now, only a week after our wedding was so fast! It is truly a great video and so well put together. If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, I HIGHLY recommend doing it and getting Cal for your wedding! Thanks again, Cal!

Very disappointed! I had booked cal over a year out from my wedding and 4 weeks before, he reached out saying he needed to cancel, leaving my fiancé and I scrambling to find someone new and trying not to completely blow our budget. While he was easy to work with and nice this is stress brides planning a wedding don’t need

Cal was so fun to work with! We had to postpone our 2020 wedding and he was so flexible in moving to 2021. We got married on 7/24/21 and had our video back to us in TWO weeks! We were blown away by how quickly he turned it around and how perfect it turned out. Cal was flexible in terms of timing for the day and captured everything we wanted. A videographer was something we continued to go back and forth on whether we wanted to invest in and we are SO glad we did it. We cannot stop watching our video and are looking forward to watching it for years to come!

We were married on 8/14/2020. Cal was soo easy to work with. He truly captured every bit of our day - especially those little interactions between everyone (which was so important to me). Not only was he so easy to talk to, he was also very professional and made himself a “fly on the wall”. He captured all of these moments and created something SO beautiful for us. He got our footage back to us very quickly too! I would highly, highly recommend Cal if you are looking for a wedding videographer. Absolutely wonderful. He has a true creative gift.

We got married July 11th and Cal was so great to work with! We got our Highlight video and the raw footage within 2 weeks!! The Highlight video was absolutely amazing- I really loved that he was able to capture the really special moments throughout the day. After we sent it to friends and family everyone commented on how amazing it was and couldn't believe he was only 16! He was super flexible and explained everything beforehand. He was always quick to respond if I had a question which was really nice! I would highly recommend him to anyone!! Great price for the amazing footage and video that we will cherish forever :)

Cal was great to work with! We had to make many adjustments throughout the day due to weather and he rolled with the punches with us. We received our highlight video just a little over a week later and the complete raw footage a couple days after that. We love watching all of it and so many people have commented on how great it is.
We would (and have been) recommended him to future brides.

Cal was professional, easy to work with, flexible with our schedules, and came through with an incredible result. We are so pleased with our highlight video and how it perfectly summerizes our day.

Hiring Cal as our wedding videographer was o honestly one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process! Best part is it was about 8 days before our wedding and I was getting worried that we might regret not having a videographer. He said agreed to video our wedding on very short notice, and was awesome! He was professional in
the entire process, communication, appearance on our wedding day, and his work in the day. And we loved our video!
