Kari & Caleb Nichols of Cottonwood Studios Worldwide were the most amazing photographers to work with! They were the photographers for my bridal portraits and my wedding/reception and the results of both photo shoots were more amazing than I could have ever imagined!
Kari & Caleb are fun yet professional, and they listened to everything that we wanted for the photography, which was so important! The photographs of my wedding day are absolutely gorgeous, artistic, and really captured the feel and the energy of the day.
Kari & Caleb are extremely flexible and were quick to respond to me whenever I had questions or comments before (and even after) the event.
Cottonwood Studios Worldwide will always be my recommendation to anyone getting married, wanting family portraits, etc. Kari & Caleb are the perfect package of fun, creativity, and reliability. You cannot get any better than them. Their work is absolutely amazing. -

The Best There Is
Cottonwood Studios could not have done a better job working with my wife and I before, during, and even after our wedding. Not only was she exceptionally pleasant to work with along the way by clearly outlining options and expectations, but she delivered at a caliber that drastically exceeded my already high expectations. In addition to ensuring that every step of the way was seamless (and even fun), Kari is simply just the most talented photographer I have ever met, and ultimately delivered content that was nothing short of perfect. The services and content offered by Cottonwood Studios is nothing short of phenomenal, all provided at an unbelievably reasonable price point. If you want the best photographer, you call Kari. -

My husband and I highly recommend Cottonwood Studio. After our initial wedding photographer suddenly cancelled on us, we were so glad to find a husband/wife photographer team who was so accommodating, professional and friendly. They were very responsive throughout the whole process and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Although we originally only budgeted for one photographer, I am so glad we ended up with two photographers to fully capture the day. They were worth every cent! -

When my wife and her friend were searching online for wedding photographers ~1 year before our wedding date, they stumbled upon Cottonwood Studios' Instagram. My wife, who has even higher standards for photographers than she has for a husband, was extremely impressed, and she made it clear that we HAD to get Cottonwood at all costs - even if it meant moving our wedding date if Cottonwood was unavailable!
Starting with the engagement shoot, it couldn't have been easier working out a shooting day with Cottonwood. FYI, Caleb and Kari live outside the U.S. and work events all over the world, so it is good to discuss with them when they will be in your region. Fortunately for us, they were in NYC already when we wanted to have our engagement shoot, so we coordinated a shoot in Brooklyn. Speaking of that shoot in Brooklyn, we were able to leverage Caleb and Kari's expertise - they had shot in that location years ago and still remembered some really cool areas to shoot. The whole evening/night, they were extremely personable and we had a lot of fun. They helped us carry around some 2nd outfits which we changed into and they didn't seem tired even though we put a few miles on our feet that night. So recap, they were accessible and helpful during the shoot and were great at suggesting poses, positioning us, and getting some great, natural reactions out of us. (skipping wedding paragraph due to word limit).
One of the neat things I noticed was how excited Caleb and Kari were immediately after they took great photos. Caleb or Kari would show each other thumbnails on the camera, and they would both get so excited - which got me and my wife very excited, too! Then they would show us, and we could see first-hand how their vision would pay-off and that we would get the same type of great pictures we saw on Instagram months earlier but with us in the pictures this time! Couldn't be more satisfied with Cottonwoods' work! -

Kari and Caleb were a dream to work with. The perfect mix of cool and collected, and take charge and assertive. We were thrilled with our photos, and couldn't have asked for better service. Our wedding photos have that little extra intangible quality that just make you fall in love with them. Great people, great work, great photos!! We were very impressed. -

Kari and Caleb are amazing! We liked them from the moment we met them, and the photos came out absolutely beautiful. Neither my husband or I like having our picture taken but they made us very comfortable. They were always quick to respond and they definitely have their shit together. On top of the photography, they were both very helpful during the getting ready process for both of us and throughout the day. They are clearly wedding pros! We couldn't be happier with how the photos came out either! Would highly recommend them to anyone! -

Kari and Caleb are fantastic photographers!! They even went above and beyond and captured the proposal live while hiding in the woods! They even dredged through 6 inches of snow to shoot our awesome engagement pictures way out in the middle of no where! Top notch!!! Highly recommended!!! -

Fantastic experience all around!
Kari and Caleb were such a pleasure to work with! I cannot say enough good things about them.
Personality-wise, they were a great presence to have around on our wedding day - fun, personable, professional, relaxed, and looking out for my husband and me the entire time.
Photography-wise, I am even more impressed. Kari and Caleb expertly guided us through our first look and couples session before the wedding. They found amazing locations to shoot in, helped us pose, and kept track of the time to make sure we got where we needed to be. During the ceremony and reception, they were incredibly dynamic. When I saw the photos, I couldn't believe they were able to capture so much of the night from so many angles. The images are STUNNING. They are fun, unique, candid, expertly shot and edited, and I love them all so much. I would work with Kari and Caleb again in a heartbeat. -

Simply great photographers. Loved their photography style. Meetings and all administrative interactions were very professional but we also felt like they were becoming great friends. The wedding day photos went great as well. Kari and Caleb helped us make a lot of special memories as they had done so many weddings and they were able to capture those moments as well. Our "special moment" before the wedding was one of our favorite memories and something Kari and Caleb make special by how they set it up and handled it for us. I give them my highest possible recomendation. -

where do i begin?? i do not think there is enough space for me to write everything i would want to. But ill keep it simple. This couple was by far the best. They were professional and a delight to work with. Everything went perfectly well with them, we had absolutely no issues. Having 2 photographers was by far a great decision as they captured the day from many different views. They are super creative and have an eye for things that make your pictures that much better. I would RECOMMEND cottonwood studios to anyone to capture that special day. Engagement pics and wedding day pics are so amazing i do not find any way to find just a couple of my favorite pictures. i love them all... Thank you so much Kari and Caleb for capturing our day.!! Orlando and I are super happy with all of the pictures and we cant stop looking at them all.. -

We had a great experience with Cottonwood Studios! I would recommend them to everyone. For starters, Cari was extremely professional and did great working with the whole family, young and old. She actually flew in to do our wedding, and really captured the whole day from every perspective. And we had our pictures very quick, we didn't even need to ask what the status was, they came right away. -

The wisest decision I made in ALL of my wedding plans was hiring Cottonwood Studios Worldwide. Kari and Caleb made everything easy and fun! They managed to get the perfect shots that captured all of the joy and excitement of the occasion. They had lots of ideas for wedding party shots that reflected our personalities, they took wonderful shots of every single moment we could have ever wanted, they were happy to be there, and they made us feel comfortable. They treat every wedding day as if it is the most important day in the world. They never tire and are genuinely happy for every couple they shoot. I was extremely happy with their timeliness and editing of the photos. I cannot say enough nice things about Kari and Caleb. I am always the first person to shove Cottonwoods information in front of my friends faces that become engaged. I love love love Cottonwood Studios Worldwide. On a day that is extremely stressful and hectic.....Kari and Caleb made me wish I could get married over and over again. -

Keri and Caleb were simply amazing. My husband and I do not enjoy having our picture taken. Period. Especially in such formal situations. They made us comfortable the entire time. Best of all, we couldn't be happier with our pictures. They even helped us with other vendors and were 100% reliable and so professional. They were the best decision we made for our wedding. -

We absolutely LOVED working with Caleb and Kari! They are so fun and relaxed and made us feel so comfortable on such a stressful/hectic day. They captured all of the special moments of the day beautifully and got all of the editorial style shots we as a couple wanted but also captured all of the traditional shots our parents and grandparents requested. Cottonwood shot my Bridals prior to the wedding and since the wedding they have shot my parents family portraits and my sister's senior session. We will be using Cottonwood for all of our future photography needs! -

Kari and Caleb are just awesome to work with! The wedding photos and the prior engagement photos turned out to be amazing! I was really impressed with some of their shots, I didn't even realize they were shooting from some of the locations - they do not put themselves "front and center" in the action - they let the wedding party and guests just enjoy themselves, but do a great job of capturing all the action and best moments. Personally, they are a joy to work with - they just have great energy, are witty, and fun to be around. They take situations that are serious but really make them fun and help decrease nervousness. We would recommend them for any photographic needs - they are the best! -

Being a wedding photographer myself, I knew exactly what kind of look I wanted for my own wedding. The choice to get Kari and Caleb down to South Florida from Arkansas was not a difficult one! I saw what a great natural eye Kari had for capturing life and had to have her. What a great choice! Could not have asked for better quality. We had our amazing DVDs and stunning album so quickly and I would recommend her to any bride! -

Kari and Caleb Nichols were the most amazing photographers who made our day even more special than it already was. Kari helped calm my nerves while her husband kept the guys laughing and they both captured picture perfect moments. I still look at the pictures and can't wait for our next chance to book Cottonwood Studios Worldwide!!! -
