Jerrad met our family in Drake Park for some family photos a couple weeks ago. We were in Bend for an informal family reunion of sorts and wanted to find an affordable way to get some nice pictures together. Even though it was cold outside, Jerrad was warm, personable, and professional. We had a really good time with him. We just received our digital pics in the mail yesterday and there are so many excellent photos here - ones we could have never taken ourselves with a tripod. It was money and time well spent. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again, and can easily give our highest recommendation. Thank you Jerrad for being part of creating such a cool memory for us that will last a lifetime. read more

We used Story Lantern for our sons senior photos this summer and were SO impressed! We used the Old Mill as a location and he let us chose every location we wanted, and also suggested a few more that were fabulous! He also suggested family photos for a few, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We've gotten countless compliments on our photos! They came back quickly and were phenomenal, so so happy with them! read more

We hired Story Lantern to photograph our wedding after searching high and low on the internet for photographers who didn't charge a half of our wedding budget. There were a few things that were most important to us: 1. Price for full day of coverage, 2. We got to keep and own all of our photos (and print them anywhere), 3. Have beautiful photos to remember our day. Story Lantern nailed all of them. Jerrad and Stasha were an amazing team and captured every part of our big day. We couldn't be happier with the photos we have. The quality and color are stunning. Jerrad was really easy to work with and super fast to respond any time I had a question. We hadn't planned on doing engagement photos, but they came with the package that we booked and we are SO GLAD that we had them done. Jerrad met us at Suttle Lake with no extra travel charge and we had our sweet, cute, amazing photos back within 3 weeks. Our wedding photos took exactly 2 months to receive, but we were given a sneak preview of about 10 photos within about a month. We were very happy with the amount of time and the amount of photos. We just had them printed and some blown up very large (20x30). Quality and clarity are still great. THANK YOU Jerrad and Stasha for all your hard work! I barely noticed you were there but you captured so many great moments that we get to remember forever through your work. read more

We had decided to do a destination and themed wedding. It was fun putting together but it was interesting trying to pick the perfect vendors for all aspects when we live in Eugene and we had planned on getting married in Sun River. I was looking for a photographer in the Bend/Redmond area for the occasion and after looking at several photographers photos online and emailing some I chose to go with Story Lantern Photography. Jarred was very good about getting back to me, answering any questions I had all the way through the process. We had not met face to face until the wedding day and I was little nervous but he was so easy to work with. Thought the ceremony I had many compliments regarding Jarred and how easily he blended in as if he were a guest who just happened to be the photographer. That was huge for us in the fact that he got some really good candid photos of not only the wedding party but the guests and family. We had done some photos outside as well as inside and they turned out amazing. I am very impressed with every aspect of working with Jarred and recommend Story Lantern anyone looking. read more

When I travel or spend time with friends or family, I am always the one with the camera, ready to capture every moment. So when it came time to plan my wedding, my number one priority was choosing a photographer who would do the same in a way that I would cherish forever. When I saw a friend's wedding done by Storylantern Photography on facebook, I knew that Jerrad was exactly who I was looking for. I loved every picture on his website so much that I didn't even have any ideas to give him - I knew every picture would be perfect. On the day of the wedding, Jerrad and his partner were incredibly kind and professional. They captured details of the decorations, the venue, my dress, and had plenty of candid shots of friends and family. The final selection of photos shows the beauty and emotions of our wedding day in a way that I don't think any other photographer would have been able to capture. The day goes by so fast that having those amazing shots makes it all slow down so it can be remembered completely. I can't stop looking at them! They are all so great! I am so glad I chose Storylantern Photography for my wedding. I recommend Jerrad to everyone I know, and I will most definitely choose him again for any photography needs! read more
