About

Why choose us? Simple, our dedication to film doesn't just reach into the wedding industry. This isn't just our job; we are creators, designers, but most importantly film makers. This sets us apart because we are completely obsessed and engulfed in film. You will find major differences between us and anyone else. From our gear to our lighting, but most importantly our shooting style, we will blow you away. We don't film random aspects of your wedding as many videographers do, rather we shoot with the intensive purpose of capturing you and your spouse, and the emotions that you are having. With a simple video, you will have a very cut and paste movie that will tell your story from start to finish without any flourish, artistry, or creativity. Film on the other hand is a different way of thinking, working, shooting, and editing. We work to make sure you are captured by our films 100% of the time.

Amazing experience and beautiful photos!

Caleb was one of our favorite vendors to work with—laid-back, personable, organized, and talented. My husband and I had a very specific vision for our photography, and we immediately saw that vision when we found Caleb and his work. He was super easy to work with and such a chill dude.
I had a venue snafu 3 weeks before our wedding and he was one of the vendors I knew I could trust to show up and take beautiful pictures without any hand-holding so I could focus on last-minute changes. If you want gorgeous, interesting, and artistic pictures taken by a good human, Caleb is your guy.

Wedding videos that we will watch for years to come. Highly recommend Caleb for your big day!

We hired Caleb as our videographer for our Napa wedding. This is easily one of our favorite decisions for our wedding. Caleb’s documentary style videography and calm energy allowed my partner and I to truly open up to the process. He was able to capture the essence of the day, the authentic moments and our true selves. When we were searching for a videographer, we were looking for someone who would produce a video which we can treasure for years to come and be able to share with our family; this is what Caleb delivered. Communication leading up to the wedding was straightforward and easy with Caleb so we knew what to expect for his process. On the wedding day, we really enjoyed his small interviews throughout the day as it allowed us to pause, reflect, and appreciate what was happening during a whirlwind of a day– what a gift. We will be watching our wedding videos for years to come– We are so grateful for hiring Caleb as our videographer and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him for your big day.

We highly recommend working with Caleb!!

Our wedding photos turned out beautifully–classic and romantic–and we love the Super 8 video – it’s such a special memento to have of the day. Caleb has a friendly, laid-back and efficient approach, and was great to work with from planning through the wedding day.

Stunning Photography

Caleb and Denise were a dream! As an art photographer myself, I had a hard time finding someone with work I liked. But I was so excited when I found them! All of our photos, both our engagement and wedding day, came out absolutely stunning!! Even though we had a smaller sized wedding, I loved having two photographers there to really make sure we captured every moment. Both of them were an absolute pleasure to work; they gave just enough direction and were funny too. We really could not recommend them enough.

I was referred by Caleb (owner of These Decisive Moments) by my hairstylist and it was within weeks of our wedding date. Caleb responded immediately to my text and wanted to meet with me within 24 hours. Super motivated to capture the business--not only that, but he is committed to make sure you are happy with the end result. Initially, my husband and I had decided against a videographer, trying to save money. I can truly say it was the best decision we made! (other than getting married of course) Our wedding flew by us and it was hard to recall details of the day. Caleb and team captured the most precious moments of a 4 hour event in 4 minutes. I will forever cherish the footage, most especially the highlight video! Also, we found Caleb to be delightful, calming, professional, and eager to succeed in making his customer happy. He went above and beyond and on your wedding day, you can only hope that happens at least once. Trust Caleb, tell him what you want and he will deliver!

Caleb and his team were a joy to work with. Personable, professional, and beyond competent. They spent the entire day with us, from getting ready to the grand send off. The days events were captured in the most natural and candid of settings.

They traveled all the way from Sacramento for our big day in Washington state. Within a week, we had a beautiful gallery of photos to view.

We cannot thank Caleb enough for his attention to detail, promptness, sense of humor and professionalism. We highly recommend These Decisive Moments to work with on your wedding day.

Thank you, Caleb, Spencer, and Daniel. What a lovely day it was!

Caleb and his team are absolutely amazing. Caleb is extremely visionary and talented and we are completely blown away by his ability to capture such beauty in our photos and video. Caleb did a great job of meeting with us beforehand to make sure we planned our day out efficiently and to maximize our time spent actually enjoying he beautiful wedding! We developed a great friendship with Caleb and would recommend him to anyone looking for the best and highest quality photos and videos you will find. The saddest part of our night was relaxing we wouldn't get to work with him any longer! But Caleb is prompt, professional, and quick to deliver his amazing product. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts; you gave us the greatest gift and went above and beyond to ensure our day was extensively and wonderfully captured and we are eternally grateful!

caleb was so thoughtful. He listened very carefully and planned the videography around our style and our preferences. He gave just enough input to help guide us but was not overly pushy. Caleb and his team are very creative and even the music that was chosen for a video fit our personality and wedding perfectly!

Caleb and the others at TDM were very professional and provided me and my husband with more than we could have asked for. From first meeting to the receipt of our videos he was great to work with. The style captured everything, we are so happy we chose them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
