Caleb is a very friendly and personable fellow who really helped ease the stress of the wedding day. Super patient and very open communication leading up to the day. He was able to take the reins where needed and is clear in what he was looking for in the posed photos.
He was so friendly to everyone there that I was still getting compliments for weeks afterward for what a great pick he was! And his product is top-notch. The posed family photos are jumbo- sized, framed-in-the-livingroom worthy, and his candid photos really capture the love and joy that were in the room.
I would highly recommend for his product and double points for having such a sparkling personality.

From the moment we met Caleb, we knew we had found someone special to capture our wedding day. His passion for photography is palpable, and his creative vision truly sets him apart. Caleb not only has an incredible eye for detail but also a unique ability to make everyone feel at ease in front of the camera.
On our wedding day, Caleb arrived with a warm smile and an infectious energy that immediately put us and our guests at ease. He seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments that truly reflected the joy and emotion of the day. Every time we looked up, he was there, snapping away, yet never intrusive.
The way he frames shots is simply magical. From the intimate glances between us during the ceremony to the joyful dance floor chaos later in the evening, Caleb managed to document every precious moment with artistry and authenticity. His use of natural light and composition turned our wedding into a stunning visual story that we will cherish forever.
When we received our photos, we were blown away. Each image was a work of art, telling the story of our day in a way we could have only dreamed of. The colors were vibrant, the emotions were raw, and every shot radiated the love that surrounded us.
Beyond his technical skill, Caleb's genuine kindness and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable. He took the time to understand our vision and was flexible with our requests, ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only capture your wedding beautifully but also make the process enjoyable and stress-free, look no further than Caleb. We are beyond grateful for the incredible memories he has given us, and we can’t recommend him highly enough!

I couldn’t say enough wonderful words to describe the experience Caleb fostered. Caleb was so kind and professional from getting the timeline set up, coordinating his travel to Chicago, from the first snapshot to the last. Caleb was accommodating and flexible when working with me on my requests from getting both groom and bride getting ready pics, he covered all bases -even those I didn’t think of. We loved seeing him all over the venue capturing the set up, getting guest shots, and flying across the dance floor for our dances and open dancing. Thank you Caleb sincerely and whole heartedly.

We hired Caleb with Peat Woods Photography for our wedding in Aug 2024 and he was awesome! Our first look, ceremony, and reception photos are breath taking and exactly the style that we wanted and saw in his portfolio. He caught all the right moments and guided us with his artistry. We got compliments on how nice he was and his professionalism all night long. We were so glad he was a part of our big day, and we can't recommend this vendor enough!

He is a super easy person to be around as well! We were very comfortable and he gave us simple direction at times and we loved his vision!
He captured every natural raw moment as well. He would be around for all the moments that meant most.

Caleb is the person you want to spend an entire day with! He is attentive, and incredibly creative and has a way of making you feel beautifully natural! He was available to talk about any questions or fears we had, photography-related or not, and spent an impressive amount of time studying our outdoor ceremony location and creating amazingly romantic photo ops! We truly enjoyed his company and his artistic eye! So grateful to have found him!

Caleb was amazing in capturing my husband and I’s big day. He really took the time to get to know us and our style before our wedding day. We felt very comfortable having him around and trusting he would get the right shots for us to remember this big moment. The photos turned out more beautiful than I could ever imagine.

Caleb is a true artist, his photography is living proof of that. The composition and light in each photo tells a story, and captures an essense. That's just the beginning. Once you meet Caleb, you get a feel for the man behind the lens and love the work even more. He felt more like a friend to us by the time the wedding rolled around. He even took the time to meet us all the way in downtown Chicago when we lived up north. We met him at a coffee shop on a snowy day back when he was part of Willow Noavi and we just clicked. At the wedding, it was like friends were shooting it for us and not just a photographer we rented for the day. Caleb took the time to really understand the vision we had for our wedding, to learn about us as a couple, and what kind of elements we wanted to capture specifically. For me, I wanted our nieces to be captured in the teepee we made, and all the random details! It was so well worth it. I highly recommend Peat Woods!

Seriously, I could not LOVE my wedding photos more! The attention to detail and whimsy in every shot is stunning. I think I was most impressed with the shots taken that I did not anticipate - details from the ceremony, decor, and reception. THANK YOU!

I had the pleasure of working with Caleb at a wedding that I was hired to film as the videographer. The photos speak for themselves, but what you can't always see in photos is the experience working with the photographer. At the wedding where we worked together, he was an excellent team player and communicator. He was mindful of the 'big picture', helping to make sure we both got the shots we needed, and helping communicate event details between the working vendors that evening. He brings an easy going, yet confident vibe to the day, which is super important at an event that has the potential to be high-stress. I'd be more than happy to work shoulder-to-shoulder with Caleb any day.
