About this business
Chuck & Shiloh Photo + Film is a wedding photography and videography team based out of Colorado Springs, with deep roots in both Colorado and Michigan. As a married couple who shot their own adventure wedding in Grand Teton National Park, Chuck and Shiloh bring a perspective to their work that goes beyond technical skill — they know firsthand what it feels like to wish you had a wedding film, and they’ve built their entire approach around making sure couples never share that regret. Whether the day unfolds in the San Juan Mountains, along the western Michigan shoreline or somewhere far beyond either home base, Chuck & Shiloh Photo + Film delivers photo and video together, in one cohesive package.
Photo and film, together
Most wedding photographers shoot stills. Most videographers shoot film. Chuck & Shiloh Photo + Film does both — and that combination is central to how they work. Chuck’s background in photojournalism shapes a fly-on-the-wall approach to video: no staged moments, no interruptions, just the day unfolding as it naturally would. Shiloh’s instinct for genuine connection and warm, relaxed portrait work rounds out the still photography side. Together, the result is a set of deliverables that feel like they were made by the same artistic hand — because they were.
Couples who have only budgeted for photos often leave their first conversation with Chuck & Shiloh reconsidering. The team is candid about what a wedding film gives back that stills alone cannot: the sound of vows, the laughter during the first look, the music that defined the reception. It’s the kind of detail that lives quietly in memory until you realize it’s slipping.
Adventure weddings and elopements
Chuck & Shiloh Photo + Film has built a reputation for adventure-forward weddings and elopements — the kind that swap banquet halls for alpine lakes, wildflower meadows and remote canyon overlooks. The team brings hands-on planning support to every booking: location scouting, permit guidance, backup weather plans, day-of timeline management and a kit full of practical gear to keep things comfortable no matter where the day leads. Telluride, Crested Butte and the Buena Vista area are among their most familiar Colorado stomping grounds, while western Michigan weddings — particularly Traverse City, Leland and the Upper Peninsula — anchors their Midwest work.
For couples who aren’t especially outdoorsy, that’s not a barrier. The team is quick to point out that drive-up locations and short, easy walks can yield images just as compelling as a full-day backcountry session. The point is to find a setting that reflects who the couple actually is — not what an elopement is supposed to look like.

Frequently asked questions
Do all packages include both photo and video?
Yes — photo and film are included together in every package. Couples who want only one or the other can reach out for a custom quote, but the combined package is the team’s standard offering and the one they recommend.
What’s included in an elopement package beyond photography?
Quite a bit, actually. Location scouting, permit advice, timeline coordination, wedding vendor referrals, day-of logistics management and a curated pack of supplies for the day — blankets, snacks, campfire gear — are all part of the experience.
Do you travel internationally?
Yes. Chuck & Shiloh Photo + Film is destination-ready and has a running bucket list of locations — from Iceland and the Dolomites to New Zealand and Scotland. All travel costs are included in destination wedding pricing with no hidden fees.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
The team builds at least three backup location options into every elopement plan. Rain, wind and overcast skies are treated as creative conditions rather than problems — and the results tend to back that up.
We’re not comfortable in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The approach here is prompt-driven and candid rather than pose-heavy. The goal is to capture how a couple actually interacts, not how they think they’re supposed to look in photos.
