Wood & Ether

as a pleasure to work with. He met with us to get to know us as a couple, and was very professional and communicative. On our wedding day, he was relaxed and made us feel like we were shooting photos with a friend. He struck a perfect balance between letting us propose places around the venue photograph, but also had his own ideas to share with us. It was truly effortless. I was blown away by the beauty in our wedding photo album. The photos are everything and more. He captured so many intimate moments and all the details of our day. I will forever cherish our photos and would recommend him to anyone looking for timeless photos to last a lifetime.

photos. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Words cannot express how happy I am with the whole experience. He was so easy to work with and made the photo taking process incredibly fun! I would have him do my wedding a million times over!

im -- and that included a lot of shifts and changes between when we originally booked him back in 2019 and when we finally got to have our wedding this fall! He gave us valuable advice on our timeline and planning, and helped us pull off taking all our portraits and family photos before the ceremony. We also had a last minute issue with one of our closest family members not being able to come, and Macaulay ended up lending us mics to record the audio for our ceremony, -- truly going above and beyond his role as our photographer. Overall, we wanted a photographer who would capture the feel and emotion of our wedding day, and looking back through our final wedding photo gallery, Macaulay did an outstanding job of that. It's been especially fun getting to see how he captured not just all the big, scripted moments, but also all the little, intimate ones as well. We truly can't recommend working with Macaulay highly enough!

to the wedding day was 10 out of 10. We love our wedding photos. The album we got from Macaulay tells the story of our wedding day with sensitivity, humor, and humanity--and genuine beauty. We were looking for a photographer who was more interested in helping us capture memories and moments than in staging an elaborate, expensive photo shoot. We were excited by his portfolio and his documentary background and we could not have been more pleased with the authenticity, caliber, and range of the images we received. And he really was a joy to work with. Someone else in their reviews mentioned his ability to fit in-- he became so much a part of the feeling of community we had created for our weekend that we forgot he was taking pictures half the time and were delighted to discover some of the moments he had captured without us noticing. He really does have an impressive ability to be present, yet blend into the background so you forget the camera is on. We originally booked with Macaulay in the fall of 2019, thinking our Starksboro, Vermont wedding would be in August 2020. That didn't happen, but you know who stuck with us through thick and thin and two postponements? This guy. Macaulay was responsive, kind, practical, calm, and genuinely fun to work with and talk to in addition to being so skilled. We're so lucky we found him and so grateful for his artistry, professionalism, and genuineness.

fun to work with, and was a great addition to the party as a whole. Throughout the night he captured a ton of really great candid moments, I'm so glad I have such beautiful photos to look back on. Thank you again!

who couldn't join due to international travel restrictions. Enter Macaulay @ Wood and Ether.. We found him with 10 days to go for our wedding and we were so lucky that he had our date open. He quickly arranged a call with us and asked us many questions about the event and our preferences. He worked with us to understand our schedule and budget, and provided us various options to meet our needs. We were quickly able to come to an understanding of doing a 4-hour ceremony video and film. He just knew what we were looking for, what we needed! When we realized that there will be all day thunderstorms on our wedding day, Macaulay offered to come a day before to take some aerial footages of the venue, understanding how important it was for us.!! During the wedding itself, it felt like he was part of our small group, at the same energy and excitement level as the rest of us. Due to the rain, we had multiple locations set up for the ceremony and Macaulay was quickly able to adapt to changing situations. Thinking about the wedding day activities can be stressful and it really helps to have a someone who not only adapts quickly to changes but offers their invaluable advice wherever needed.. it helped us plan better so many times!! Coming to the final wedding film: you really have to see the samples of his videos and photographs to see the quality in there. We really loved that he captured all of our toasts and vows, and integrated them as part of our wedding film. Our wedding film represents the love, joy, and energy from the day and we are so very grateful to Wood & Ether. He captured the essence of the day to the extent that our overseas family (who joined us virtually on the day) felt like they were transported back to that day, when they saw the video.. Thank you Macaulay! We recommend Wood & Ether highly for the tremendous support, ease-of-working, and the quality of the videos that Macaulay provided.

re of. Our biggest want was not having to take time away from our day by posing for pictures. We ended up with beautiful natural moments that would have been missed if Macaulay hadn’t been so flexible. We love all the details and emotion he was able to capture. We highly recommended him!!

an intimate environment during our ceremony. Macaulay did an excellent job with both! So professional and creative. He was willing to go above and beyond in achieving what we were looking for. We appreciated that he brought humor and got to know us beyond just being another gig. Thank you so much Macaulay!
