Hey there, we are Caleb and Rachel!
We live on a little farm just north of the city of Atlanta, where we have been raising our three children the past several years. Together, we have enjoyed capturing radiant brides and teary-eyed grooms since we personally said our own "I do's" years ago. Hitting the trail hand-in-hand to shoot another wedding is one of our favorite things to do together. We strive to provide heirloom wedding videography and photography that you and your family can reflect on over and over again - reliving those perfect moments for years to come.

nstraints! On the day of, our videographer and photographer truly went above and beyond to capture incredible footage. They literally sprinted from the church to the reception venue to capture our entrance! I could not say enough about how hard they worked and how much care and attention they had for our wedding. I will be recommending this team to my closest family and friends!

Caleb and his team truly made our wedding photo/video dreams come true for our February Charleston wedding. We could not be happier with how all the photos and the video came out. ...
They were on top of it all day with organizing people and making sure we were staying on it. They captured everything we could've wanted. Working with Caleb throughout the whole process was very smooth and well organized and he was available for any questions we had leading up to wedding day. We are so grateful we chose Compass Films to work with and would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photo or video!

Very pleased with Compass! I forget the name of the team member who came out to our wedding and I feel so bad because he was awesome! Very kind, personable yet unobtrusive. Worked ...
seamlessly with the photographers despite this seemingly being the first time they worked together. He ended up staying 30 minutes after contract because the sunset was so stunning he couldn’t help himself! Their team was extremely flexible with pricing which was so appreciated because we didn’t think we were even going to have the budget to hire a videographer. We feel so lucky that we’ll have video footage now. We’ve only gotten the social reel so far but it was great! I asked if I could edit it more myself as just a couple parts weren’t my style or featured a part of the wedding I didn’t love ( and I know some creative have rules around altering their work) and they were not only totally cool with that but offered to re edit it if I provided them more details. So accommodating. I’d recommend!

We can’t thank Caleb and his team enough for the incredible work they did capturing our wedding day. From our first meeting, we could tell Caleb wasn’t just another videographer – ...
he truly cared about making our wedding film as unique and personal as our relationship. He took the time to understand what mattered most to us, from the quiet moments to the biggest celebrations, and we could feel that in every frame of the video.
On the day of the wedding, Caleb and his team were absolutely amazing. They worked so seamlessly together, capturing every detail with such care, and they did it in such a calm, unobtrusive way. They made every part of the day so fun and made us feel so special. And in the really special and intimate moments, we barely noticed them, but somehow, they captured everything – the laughter, the tears, the nervous excitement before the ceremony, and all the joyful chaos of the reception. They were like silent observers, creating magic behind the lens.
We are so grateful for Caleb and his team for creating something so meaningful and beautiful. If you’re looking for a videographer who truly understands the significance of the day and can turn it into an emotional and cinematic work of art, Caleb is the person to go to. I cannot wait to see the wedding video when it's done, but we already know it will be something we treasure forever, and we’re so thankful to have it to look back on for years to come. Working with Caleb and Compass Films was an absolute dream come true.

The sweetest moments captured. Caleb and Henri truly made my husband and I along with our families and friends feel so comfortable. This really helped because I am shy. It was also so much fun taking photos!! We are so grateful and our families love looking at the photos and video. From the initial planning and consultation with Caleb, he took the time to get to know what we loved, what was special to us, and information about my husband and I, including our families. The amount of care brings tears to my eyes as I write this. This whole experience was truly a blessing. I'm still tearing up writing this. Our hearts are so grateful. Thank you guys so much for everything and for making our wedding truly unforgettable!

Compass Films was one of the best decisions that we made when choosing vendors for our wedding. From the responsiveness, flexibility, and kindness/patience of Valerie. To our video...
grapher, Henri, who honestly made us both feel so comfortable (we're both nervous in front of cameras) and captured our day beautifully. I personally have a hard time seeing myself in photos and videos, and all I could see was how beautiful the day was and how much love there was. That really speaks to Henri and Compass Films as a whole. Madison with the editing team was also the sweetest and most accommodating person ever. While we liked the first song that was put on our highlight video, when we requested it to be a different song (one that is special to us specifically) she was immediately willing to update it for us. Overall, this company has been a joy to work with and has some of the most amazing people working with them! If you choose any vendor, let it be this one!

Compass Films was recommended to us by our wedding planner and what a Great Company to have as part of your Wedding! Our videographer, Evan, was amazing to work with. He works so ...
well behind the scenes to capture those details that are so important! The drone footage was such a nice compliment to our films. Our 1-minute and 5-minute films are absolutely amazing. Compass captured our wedding memories that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives. I would also recommend that you purchase the raw footage as it captures so many shots that cannot be incorporated into the final product due to time constraints. You will have no regrets about choosing Compass Films.

Our anniversary came up, which reminded us about our wedding video. Overall they were good to work with - with us getting their most expensive package so we could have the RAW foot...
age for archival process (my husband and I are both video editors). We were pretty hands off during the wedding day, trusting them and loving their past work. Sadly, the lack of stars is for the post-production side.
It took them literally 6 months to deliver a 1 minute highlight video that cut off at the end of the ceremony. For our main recap video - even when we gave them timecoded feedback and an example wedding video to show them the pacing and what we were looking for - ended up being their final version without warning. The amount of revisions we were allotted was never communicated even when we asked. Sad to say, my husband and I just edited our wedding video ourselves (which was an undertaking due to the files not being labeled properly or at all).
Overall, if you are not in any form part of the post-production industry they should be good enough for you. If you have a more clear artistic vision, their post side may be too unpredictable for your standards. That being said they are all very nice and professional people leading up to and on the wedding day, just maybe we got assigned with an inexperienced editor from their team.
