About Michael McCaleb
How life makes you appreciate things differently…
When I started out, I enjoyed the parties the most. Twenty five years later, I still enjoy the rug cutting, but I also take special interest in the relationships, and the dynamics, and the people involved. The event industry is a special kind of business that deals in dreams and emotions, details and sounds. Documenting your family and friends is just as important.
Over the years, I’ve come to realize that the moments I capture aren’t just fleeting—they can become treasured memories that grow in value with every passing year.
“I don’t direct your moments, I chase them. That’s what makes a film feel real.”
When I shot my first wedding, I had already been filming and editing demo reels for comedians at The Improv during my “day job.” Pretty soon, weddings and events became my main gig.

“When we received the film, we were elated. It captured mine and my husband's love perfectly.”

I capture luxury weddings without turning them into productions. Your day feels untouched, not orchestrated for content.
I live in Anaheim Hills with my wife and two rescue pups. Skye is the goofy looking Husky. Gracie is the sweetheart German Shepherd/Pittie. My two sons live in Tacoma, WA. I love travel, baseball, standup comedy, and rock music. From the pandemic years, I have a now defunct podcast on Spotify called “Proggy” that’s all about progressive music.
