this is for the “awkward” ones, who have never felt at home in a photo.

Caleb Rippetoe is an analog focused, documentary wedding photographer based in california and photographing weddings across america.

The process won’t be full of posing or prompting in order to fast track beautiful photos. While there may be some portraits taken here and there, the focus will be less on controlling the situation and more on simple presence. You bring me into your circle to focus on documenting the narrative, with discretion and low interference. I come in with no expectations, as a guest who happens to be good at making images for the future.
