We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Caleb Opp. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Caleb below.

Caleb, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. One of the things we most admire about small businesses is their ability to diverge from the corporate/industry standard. Is there something that you or your brand do that differs from the industry standard? We’d love to hear about it as well as any stories you might have that illustrate how or why this difference matters.

I truly care! I have been in the wedding photography industry for 13 years! Sustained through a business change, COVID-19, and more. I’ve been lucky enough to live my dream job for over a decade now, capturing more than 300 weddings in four different countries. With this experience, I’ve developed a unique perspective on how to document your big day, focusing on the emotions, the details, and the connections made throughout the event. So, when you hire a professional photographer, you’re not just getting someone who can take beautiful pictures. You’re hiring a seasoned professional who can guide you through the process, make you feel confident and at ease, and capture the essence of your wedding day in a way that’s authentic and uniquely you.

Caleb, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

If you’re seeking more than just a wedding photographer, you’ve come to the right place. I aim to offer a holistic experience, infusing my work with empathy, engagement, and a keen eye for capturing your most authentic moments. As Peat Woods Photo, I’m not just behind the lens, I’m a guide navigating you through the entire process, eliminating any uncertainties you may have. I’ve been living my dream for over a decade, specializing in weddings and having the privilege of capturing over 300 love stories across four countries and several states. This journey has gifted me a unique perspective, backed by my BFA in Photography and experience in advertising, documentary, and fashion photography. I focus on the emotions, the details, and the connections made – understanding that each wedding is as unique as the couple themselves. No fluff, no hyperbole, just genuine, heartfelt photography.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Through covid and restarting my business three times I still love what I do.

Can you talk to us about how you funded your business?

I saved and worked three jobs to make this happen. Again after covid I have had to do the same.
