Hi! I’m Caleb Sowle

pronounced: /sōl/ (“sole”)

Upon receiving a filmmaking degree, I started shooting wedding films right away. Since then, I’ve captured about 100 weddings and developed my personal style (more about that below). The more I get to experiment within the wedding film world, the more exciting it becomes.

My newest film is always my favorite, because my skills and tastes are constantly evolving.

We believe strongly in a natural style of filmmaking, making the most of the hand we’re dealt by leaning into the environment and stripping away any extraneous aspects.

Day of, this looks like using natural light; shooting through and around things like tree branches, buildings, and wine glasses; encouraging instinctual movement among couples and not forcing anything; being ready for spontaneous moments like big laughs or sneaky kisses; and extracting the story from the day instead of projecting one on to it.

Our films are built on candid moments, because the point of a film like this is to immerse you back into that special juncture in your life. We will hardly ever ask you to look at the camera. This is not picture day. This is a movie about your life.

FAQs

  • Sowle Film Studio offers three base packages, where the main differences are; the amount of videographers included, the hours of coverage, and the inclusion of drone footage. We encourage couples to explore the Sun package, as it contains the most bang for your buck. Ultimately though, our packages are entirely customizable as every wedding is different.

  • Two of our three packages include a 2nd professional videographer. We encourage choosing one of them because you get twice as much footage for a fraction of the cost!

  • At least 8 hours. In order to tell the full story of your wedding day, we like to arrive while you’re getting ready, and leave after the dance floor has opened up and the main events are complete. Often, 10 hours is encouraged as some days take longer to fully unfold, and we even offer Engagement Sessions to add more depth and detail to the story of your wedding film.

  • Couples never regret hiring a well-established, professional filmmaker. Photography is the standard, but the moving image can immerse you back into your special day in a way that photos just can’t. The audio aspect and the full presentation of vows and speeches is enough reason alone to bring a filmmaker along to your wedding.
