About this vendor
I know how difficult relationships can be. How tough and dark things can get, and how through it all there are two people simply fighting for each other. A wedding celebrates that fight, it’s a victory dance, and I try to record it by focusing on the connections - between people, between places, between things.

We cannot recommend Caleb enough. He was everything we looked for in a photographer- laidback, personable, and of course incredibly talented. We couldn’t have asked for someone more perfect to capture our Lake Tahoe backyard wedding as the images are truly breathtaking. Highly recommend his film, digital, and super 8 package. We look forward to having Caleb capture other life events in the future.
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.
It’s not an overstatement to say that I’ve felt grateful every day since our wedding to have not only invested in capturing our memories, but to have chosen the right person to do so.
My husband and I had the same vision for our wedding photos, but we differed in the details. I wanted cinematic, dramatic couple shots. He wanted fun, laughter, and love caught on tape. But most of all, we wanted someone we could lean on to make decisions for us, and trust that it would work out.
The photos and films we received - were gifted - from Caleb feel like an artist’s interpretation of our wedding day, in the most beautiful way. There is a soul to Caleb’s work, and a clear reverence for the people, and for the love, and for the sanctity of it all.
Caleb is easy going, fun to hang with, and goes with the flow - important traits for someone plugged into the most personal moments of your wedding day.
When we first spoke via Zoom, Caleb asked what our hopes were for our wedding day photos and films. We said we wanted something that future generations can look back on as a reminder of our love. I think we succeeded.
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.
We loved working with Caleb on our recent wedding! We had seen him in action at (and the beautiful photos that came from) two weddings of dear friends, but were even more blown away when we saw the images from our own celebration. Caleb is laid back, fun, and interested in capturing the spirit of a gathering rather than millions of stiff posed photos. He offered us good advice for how to structure the time we had allocated for photos, but was also willing to go on a rather harebrained adventure to the coast for a few shots, which ended up being some of our favorite of all the images. His pricing was also very reasonable and we feel really grateful that he was willing to work with us and think about our budget. I really can't recommend him highly enough and would definitely encourage others to contact him to capture their special day.
We knew we wanted Caleb as our wedding videographer for as long as my husband and I have been engaged. We had seen one of his videos of a friend of a friend and it was just unbelievable. Caleb is very personable and approaches wedding videos in such a beautiful way. His video approach is a documentary style, which allows for a true look into the day.
Caleb met with us prior to the day to go over what we were expecting which took any stress off our shoulders knowing he had us covered.
Caleb came before the wedding and took my husband around the venue to get his personal perspective and narration taped, this turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the highlight video. He also had an assistant taking video, so every base was covered.
Above all else, Caleb put his whole effort into making our wedding videos perfect. He stayed so long at the wedding and captured special moments that would otherwise not been documented, like a dance with my grandfather. He spent countless hours editing the mass amount of raw footage and produced a highlight video even longer than originally discussed.
If you’re not sold on whether you should use a videographer yet, watch a video or two of Caleb’s and you’ll know that his work is something special. We now have the most beautiful videos to look back on for years to come. We could not recommend Caleb more!
Hiring Caleb and Denise to videograph our wedding was one of the best decisions I ever made for our wedding day. They were an amazing duo that understood how best to capture our day without being in the way of everything happening. From the beginning of our interaction through the last goodbye, Caleb and Denise were professional, friendly, adept and just all around awesome. I appreciated Caleb's approach to filming and loved how he got a sense for everything around us.
Approaching and contracting Caleb was a breeze, from the initial contact, phone call to get a sense for each other, and from the following weeks leading up to the big day. They both worked amazingly together, always knowing the right place to be, working to capture the best moment.
Rippetoe Studios is fair in price and nothing compares to the value they've given us in not only memories, but just the experience we will never forget.
If you are looking for an amazing Videographer team who will capture your day in full bloom with style, grace, and sincerity, please contract this studio. They are absolutely amazing and I would hire them again for any other needs that require documenting such a momentous day.
Thanks to Caleb and Denise!
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.
Can not recommend Rippetoe Studios enough. Caleb and his team were amazing to work with and had the best personalities. They went out of their way to ensure my husband and I were comfortable and had whatever we needed throughout the day. And our bridal party and guests, too! Thank you again for everything. We are so happy you were a part of our wedding day!
Caleb is amazing. I was very picky about who I chose, and had wanted a company that provided both photography and videography with reasonable prices. I also had a very specific look in mind when I wanted my engagement and wedding photos in that I wanted it to be less staged and more candid. Caleb captured exactly what I wanted perfectly - his style is quite different than others and it was exactly what I was looking for. He is so easy to work with. More importantly, he is quick to getting you quality photos and videos. Our engagement photos took about 3 days to get back to us. Our wedding photos came about 3-4 weeks after our event and the videos a week after that! Our photos would have probably come sooner but we were leaving for our honeymoon so we told him no rush. Also, Caleb is a perfectionist. He edits all of the photos and actually puts the videos together himself. We have no regrets and couldn't have picked a better photographer/company to capture our special day. Absolutely recommend 100%!
Seeing Caleb and his team's final product with all of our pictures and videos brought the biggest smile to our faces. Caleb focused so much on the people and relationships that were built at our wedding that it was really great to see and remember so many different people coming together and connecting from vaious parts of our lives. Caleb took the time to get to know us as individuals as well as a couple, and shooting engagement shots with him definitely made the day of feel more natural and smooth. Caleb and his team captured images from so many different angles during the reception and ceremony that I honestly thought "how did he get there?" or " I don't remember them even being right there." His team took the time to produce a quality product and were super communicative throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a photographer/videographer who captures the people and your day with a creative, authentic lens.
Caleb was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding process! When we first talked to him on the phone and he talked about prioritizing the emotions and feelings of the day over everything else we had a feeling we had found the right person. When we laughed our way through the awkwardness that can be an engagement shoot and ended up with some awesome photos because of Caleb's creativity and just general attitude of "up for anything" that led us to awesome sites in Redwood Regional, we were even more confident. But now that we've seen just how much of the love and emotion of our day is captured in the beautiful images and amazing highlight video, we are sure, Caleb was the best. He valued all the same things as us and it rang true in how he captured our day. Plus he is a friendly and down to earth guy that we had a ton of fun spending time with (which is important for someone you're paying to be following you around all day." We genuinely had fun with Caleb and his crew, so much so, we told our friends to hire him and got to hang out again a month later and their big day! Thanks for everything Caleb!
Rippetoe Studios was amazing! They showed up early and got great footage from the event. Our highlight video is such a wonderful memento from the weekend. The owner was very easy to work with and captured our personal style perfectly.
My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our photographer, Caleb, his prices were affordable, he was always on time (and patient with how late we were), and he got our albums back within two weeks of our wedding. We are amazed at how many of our wedding pictures are frame worthy photos! Caleb’s photos and editing will bring you back to the real emotions of those moments rather than a cheesy grin. He and his sister were laid back and easy to get along with, they totally knew how to go with the flow, to keep the day easy! My horse was apart of our big day and we have beautiful photos with her that we’ll have forever.
Caleb and Denise were amazing! From the engagement photos, getting ready photos, church ceremony, ,and reception everything turned out so beautiful. I love the style of portraits taken. I loved it all. Thank you for capturing one of the most important days of my life. When I look back, I feel like I can re-live the day all over again. Thank you for such a fantastic job!!!
Caleb totally got our vibe. He and his team created such beautiful content, and we honestly didn't even really notice that they were there or have to do anything out of the ordinary for them to get great photos and footage. The "stand here" and "pose like this" was kept to an absolute minimum, and the result was magical photos/video that could've easily been twice the price!
I had no idea what to expect from a wedding photographer/videographer and was nervous about how it'd all turn out since I'm pretty particular about these things, but Rippetoe Studios knocked it out of the park. They've given us beautiful memories of the best day of our lives (so far) and I couldn't be more grateful. Book them, you won't regret it!
Caleb and his team were absolutely amazing. The photos we received far out shown my expectations and surpass wedding photos I have seen in the past. Caleb took pictures in a way completely unique to anything I have seen before. I have something to remember my wedding by that is unlike anything else. The photos themselves are beautiful and having them now makes the memory of the day so much more so. My husband and I are very happy and so are our families. We’ve received nothing but praise from the photos.
As a wedding planner, I have worked with Caleb on several weddings and projects and am always highly recommending his work as both a photographer and videographer to my clients. He is focused on the job, but also clearly enjoys his work, and he is awesome at both directing his clients on how to pose and capturing candid moments. His experience with art runs much deeper than just the camera--he is also an amazing painter and artist, and I believe this wide range of understanding of composition sets him apart from other videographers and photographers. I strongly recommend hiring Caleb and his team!
Caleb & Denise are the best! We couldn’t have asked for better photographers to share our day with and our photos are amazing! Caleb was communicative & easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and the engagement shoot was a great way for us to get to know one another and allowed us to get comfortable in front of the camera. We really appreciated their go-with-the-flow attitudes, and love the documentary lens they bring to their photography. Their photos have a modern edge that we love and we weren’t asked to do all the traditional (imho outdated) wedding poses. Thanks These Decisive Moments!
Caleb and his team were excellent! Our special day was more than just a job for Caleb. In order to tell our story, he made accomdations to fit our needs and budget. The day of, he was playful and fun! My husband and I love our photos and highlight video ... professionally done with a modern feel! So thankful for all the special moments that captured by Caleb and his team!
