    Incredible Experience

    Caleb was a delight! He was friendly, listened to our vision, and easy to work with. Our wedding pictures are so important to us, and they turned out so beautifully. He made sure to take pics of all the important people in our lives and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. We can't recommend him highly enough.

    Very professional and a stress reducer!

    Above and beyond - went ahead of time to the venue to scout out good spots for pictures. On the day of there were other stressors but I had immediately forgotten them when working with Caleb. He makes you feel comfortable which shows in the pictures which came out great. Flexible pricing and packages which was nice as well for a small wedding.

    Just professional start to finish!

    Caleb went above and beyond not only in our photos but also within communication and help in planning and organizing! Most of us will only do this once in our lifetime and his experience and insight was so very helpful in planning our day!

    Professional, Dedicated, Experienced, and a new Friend

    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!

    Everything and more!

    Caleb was amazing 👏!

    He captured our wedding perfectly 🥰.

    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.

    The quality is nothing short but amazing as well.

    I wouldn't have changed anything about our photography choice for our wedding day.

    Peat Woods Photography's reply:

    So happy I had the chance to work with you two!! It was such a lovely day! So happy to have made such good friends as well!

    I truly don't know where to begin when speaking highly of Caleb and Megan. My husband and I chose them to be the photographers for our wedding, and they were my first choice. I first saw them rated in a wedding magazine, and I knew I had to have them photograph the best day of my husband's life :)

    When we first met with them, they were so laid back and professional at the same time. My husband is pretty shy, but he felt so comfortable talking with them at the coffee shop. They brought samples of their work and the albums they have created for different couples depending on the package you get with them.

    I cannot say enough great things about how amazing Caleb and Megan are with communication. They responded to me right away whenever I emailed them and worked with us for quite a while to find a time to shoot our engagement pictures (this was completely on our end, NOT theirs - the days I had open, they made work for us!) It was beyond worth it, because our engagement pictures were beautiful. They helped pose us and scouted for awesome scenery and locations. We are not very graceful individuals, but they made us look like a dream.

    On our wedding day, there was never a moment where I was worried about our pictures. They are SO talented and so professional, I know they absolutely rocked it and I can't wait to see the final product.

    If you are on the fence about a photographer, promise me you will not go wrong with these two amazing people. My husband and I kept saying how happy we were that we picked them to be with us on the most important day. Their reputation precedes them, and you will not be disappointed.

    We absolutely adore Caleb and Megan! They are phenomenal humans and photographers. When we met with them, we were immediately taken with them and their work and knew we had to have them photograph the best, most important day of our lives. They are the first and only photographers we ever met with - we canceled other meetings we had set up afterward because we were confident we wanted to work with them. We received our wedding photos yesterday and cannot stop looking through them. They bring tears to my eyes every time. Megan and Caleb captured intimate details of our wedding in a way nobody else could and for that I will be forever grateful. There is something different about the level of detail, creativity, and care they put into their images that far exceeds other photographers in my opinion. We went over the top with planning all the minute details of our wedding, and they were able to photograph it in a way that we will cherish for a lifetime! On the day of our wedding, they put us at ease and made us laugh. We had so much fun hanging out with them. We were also able to enjoy the moment of our day fully because we trusted them so completely. They are an amazing couple and such a fun team. We really cannot praise them enough. They are the best investment one could possibly make in photographers and we hope to be lifelong customers. We truly don't have words to thank them enough, so fortunate to have found them and their out of this world talent. <3

    Caleb and Megan were the perfect addition to our wedding! It rained for most of our wedding day and poured during our ceremony but that didn't stop them from truly captivating our incredible day. The pictures turned out even better than we could have ever imagined. They are very experienced in what they do and they know exactly how to capture each couple and their uniqueness. I would recommend Caleb and Megan to everyone!!

    We can't recommend Megan and Caleb enough!

    They did a magnificent job of capturing our wedding day and reception.

    One of the biggest pros of Megan and Caleb is how comfortable they make you feel. My wife and I aren't the most comfortable when it comes to being in front of the camera. Yet, they did a great job of making us feel relaxed and we had a great time with it.

    We worked with them for our engagement photos, our wedding and reception.

    They really excelled at using natural elements, the natural environment to bring out really great colors. Every picture turned out excellent, capturing how much fun the day/night was!

    Many of their pictures turned out to be some of our favorites we have of each other!

    Somehow we were blessed with the best. When we met Megan and Caleb, we knew right away that we had to have them for our wedding. They are the kindest, most trustworthy, patient, beyond creative, most knowledgeable and incredibly talented photography team. They went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. You can tell how much they love what they do and how well they work together. We are still gushing over our engagement photos and recently received our wedding album... just breathtaking! It came in the loveliest package, too! They helped make our wedding day feel effortless and cannot thank them enough for everything. I highly recommend Megan and Caleb and only hope to work with them again in the future! :)

    We loved working with Caleb and Megan!! My husband and I knew they were awesome from the beginning when they offered to drive all the way to Detroit from Grand Rapids to do our engagement session - they already had explored the city and had specific spots in mind that they knew would result in great photos. Caleb and Megan keep picture taking relaxed and casual - and know when to have a good laugh with couples like us that don't pose for photos often! :) Even on the day of our wedding, they were both very friendly and sociable with our extended family. Caleb and Megan are a perfect example of photographers who go the extra mile when it comes to catching the best moments and details of your wedding day. We will continue to recommend them to family and friends who have weddings in the future! Thank you, Willow Noavi! :)

    It was such a pleasure working with Caleb and Megan! When it was time to pick our wedding photographer I must have contact at least 20 different photographers! But there was something about the quality of their pictures that stood out to me in the beginning. Eventually I got it narrowed down to 2 photographers, but after speaking with them on the phone I knew I had to pick them. They are so down to earth and so approachable. They really do their best at making you feel at ease during the shoots. I am so happy with the way our pictures turned out and look forward to working with again next year at one of my best friend's weddings! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

    My husband and I could not have been happier that we chose Megan and Caleb to shoot our engagement photos and wedding! After seeing their work they were one of the very first vendors we booked because I knew I HAD to have them. They traveled across the state to spend our day with us and were able to truly capture who we are as a couple. They were very easy to work with throughout the whole process and were very attentive to what we wanted while also using their own artistry. We highly recommend Caleb and Megan to anyone and look forward to using them again in the future!

I would recommend these guys to anyone and everyone! The quality of their work in stunning! Our wedding pictures literally capture the emotion of our entire day! That's EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT in a photographer! You won't regret hiring them! Thanks again Caleb and Megan! - The Binders?

    We absolutely LOVED working with Caleb & Megan, could not have found any better photographers for our wedding day! They were professional and organized, easy going and available throughout the entire day. They kept everything running on time, and so efficient that we were ahead of schedule and able to grab extra shots in a cool location we stumbled upon at the venue. Not only were we impressed, but we received so many compliments about them from our guests (one of whom is the Head of Operations at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago). THANK YOU!!!

    Megan and Caleb were absolutely wonderful to work with! We chose to have a destination wedding on Mackinac Island and were unable to meet them in person. Caleb and Megan made sure that everything was taken care of through phone calls and email. Megan and Caleb had taken the day before to explore and find a beautiful location to shoot at. The photos are gorgeous! We are extremely impressed with how they turned out, as are our friends and family! The two of them are wonderful to work with, and I would recommend them to any one looking for someone to capture their special day!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Caleb & Megan of Willow Noavi. We have not had our wedding yet, but we recently received our engagement pictures and are IN LOVE with them. Just blown away. It is rare that myself or my fiancee like pictures of ourselves, and we can't even begin to try to even pick 10 favorites - we love them all. Megan & Caleb captured our personalities perfectly, and we really feel like our photos reflect who we are as individuals but also as a couple. And they are SO CREATIVE. Not only do we look good, but our pictures are works of art...they have such a great eye. We came to Caleb & Megan after we had to let our other photographers go. They were so understanding and helpful through the whole (stressful!) process. We live in Wisconsin, but are getting married in Michigan, and since we weren't going to be in town before our wedding, they came to Wisconsin to shoot our engagement photos. It meant so much to us to have pictures in the place we live. We had not met Caleb & Megan prior to them coming to Wisconsin, and we were so pleasantly surprised. They are just genuinely GOOD PEOPLE. We hit it off right away. We felt so comfortable with them and having them take our pictures (not something that is natural to myself or my fiancee). We laughed so much and just genuinely enjoyed our time with them. It felt like we were hanging out with old friends. I cannot wait to have them there on our wedding day because I know they are going to put me at ease and I have zero doubts our pictures are going to not only be beautiful, but capture the emotion of the day. I honestly do not have one bad or even mediocre thing to say about them. They are genuine, easy going, good people with a fantastic eye for photography and an impeccable ability to capture the essence of your personality and your love. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

    Caleb and Megan were awesome. They were so receptive to everything that my husband and I were looking for.

    We got married in a small town that Caleb and Megan had never shot in before. Before the wedding day, they went out to look for ideal locations for photos - to really show off the town that we chose to get married in. We really appreciated that they spend the time to do this and make sure we got some really special shots.

    We definitely recommend them - not only for their style but for how easy they helped to make our big day.

    Wow, where do I start? We needed a photographer for our wedding in Michigan. At the time we were just about to move to Charleston, SC and would be finalizing plans from out of state. We fell in love with Caleb and Megan's photos online and had to have them, we love that light and airy look that they always get. Caleb and Megan agreed to meet us quickly after we contacted them. We met them on a blustery night in Chicago at Pizano's pizza. When we first started talking, it was like love at first sight. Not only by how they look, (they're adorable,) but by how they understood our vision, and clicked with us. They are so unbelievably friendly, and so easy to talk to. They communicated back and forth over a period of two years that we were engaged. They kept in touch, checked in with any new ideas we had, and answered questions as soon as they could. The day of the wedding they captured so many things we didn't even notice were there. They kept all the people in line on my husbands side of the family and rallied about 50 Indian ladies and men of together for an amazing group photo. (No easy task.) They went with the flow and got some great dancing shots at the end of the night. We were so happy to have the time to be silly and have fun with them the day of the wedding too. Not only are they exceptional wedding photographers, but they are now two very dear friends we've had the pleasure of getting to know and love. We know this may not happen with everybody, but if you're looking for photos you and you guests will say " THOSE PHOTOS, SERIOUSLY... THOSE PHOTOS?!!!" These two are the photographers for you.

    My husband and I planned an out-of-state wedding in Wayland whilst both working and living in Houston. We also took forever and a day to settle on a photographer because I'm so darn picky, but at last we made our booking for Willow Noavi and we are SO glad that we did. Our pictures were wonderful, of course, but the day of they were even better than I could have imagined. Very fluid, guiding us towards the next step and what we had coming up so we didn't run behind, capturing special moments with my niece and nephew as my ring bearer and flower girl, and remaining ever patient with me, the customer who must have said 50+x, "Hey, can you get a picture of that??" We didn't just get good photographers, we got steady, self-assured professionals who knew exactly what they were doing and helped us feel like we knew what we were doing too ;) don't miss the opportunity to book them. You'll be glad you did.

    Megan and Caleb were amazing from the time we contacted them for availability up until the actual wedding day. I remember it started to rain lightly as we were walking out to do a first look and the both of them reassured me that it was fine and they had an umbrella. Not only are they great photographers but also someone to help put you at ease and think of the things you may have forgotten.

    We received our proofs right away! We were on our honeymoon when we received the full gallery, so their timing is on point! All of our wedding party and guests were even raving about how amazing Megan and Caleb were! They are truly a great team, their pictures are breathtaking. We didn't want traditional, posed wedding pictures and with Megan and Caleb you are receiving editorial and high fashion looks. Something we are excited to display in our home.

    We could go on and on about how great this team of photographers are. I think it shows in their work and in their efficiency in communicating and getting you proofs right away. The packaging of the final thumb drive that was mailed to us was AMAZING! We loved sharing the mini photography book with our loved ones. A lot of thought and attention to details with Megan and Caleb. Thank you again for making everything wonderful and exceeding out exceptions!

    Megan and Caleb are amazing! When I was first searching for wedding photographers, I was looking for not only great photos and great results, but was also hoping for a couple with great chemistry. Megan and Caleb are such a great couple and are so much fun to be around. They made our special day enjoyable and fun and we received so many compliments from our guests on our great photographers. Even when the weather didn't cooperate, they still produced the most beautiful rain photos I have ever seen! I know that besides our wedding location, choosing Megan and Caleb was the best decision we made for the wedding! You really can't go wrong with them!

    Both my husband and I loved working with Caleb and Megan! We made a last-minute change in photographers and Caleb and Megan saved us by agreeing to an unconventional arrangement of a few different photographers working together to get our pictures done. Caleb and Megan were the photographers at our wedding. We had met them a few times before and from the start I knew they were going to be wonderful to work with. Megan and Caleb were SO much fun to work with. I don't think my husband was too thrilled beforehand about the thought of being photographed all day, but he kept saying how much fun all the guys had with Caleb from the moment he showed up to photograph them getting ready! Caleb and Megan both did an excellent job of keeping the day fun and lighthearted while still staying on schedule and keeping things moving at a good pace, and of being entirely unobtrusive while still always being where we needed them and getting great pictures of everything! We gave them a list of specific things we wanted photographed before the wedding, and they did a fantastic job of capturing all of them, along with hundreds of things we didn't even think of! They checked in throughout the day to ask if there were any additional pictures we wanted to make sure we had before moving on to the next event. Our pictures turned out beautifully, and our families have both asked for Caleb and Megan's contact information for future photography needs. We can't say enough good things about them, and recommend them strongly!
