Anel was great. Hired her for our wedding in San Diego for just the family. She was easy to work with and extremely pleasant and gave direction well (we needed it). We booked her with short notice and she was able to help us with the location, parking suggestions and kept in touch the entire time until the date. She absolutely made our ceremony complete! read more

I knew I was getting proposed to when photographer told me to turn around so she can "get the reaction"; ruined the surprise. The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!! read more

Although I generally prefer not to post negative criticism, the profound disappointment regarding our wedding photography has stayed with me for the past two years. I am deeply saddened by the outcome of the photos provided by this company. We were initially promised a specific photographer, 'Josh,' based on his recommended portfolio. However, only one week before our wedding, we were assigned 'Anel,' whose work we had never seen. On our wedding day, the level of professionalism and quality of work was unacceptable: Lack of direction: There was little to no guidance on posing or lighting. The photographer made comments like, 'What was that?' or 'What's that face?' instead of providing constructive direction. Poor Technical Execution: Many family photos feature heavy, unflattering shade cast across faces. Across the entire collection, there is only one usable, direct shot of my husband and me facing the camera. Absenteeism: During the cocktail hour, which we hired the photographer to cover, the photographer was found sitting in the dressing room instead of actively taking candid photos of our guests. I actually had to seek out the photographer to initiate coverage of the event. Frankly, the final delivered collection lacked the quality and professional execution we would expect from a paid vendor. It felt like paying a friend to snap photos, not a professional with an understanding of lighting and composition. A further point of concern: not a single photo from our wedding has ever been featured on the company's website or social media. We anticipated a high level of work based on the company's advertised portfolio, and what we received fell far short of that professional standard. read more

All I can say is you will not be disappointed in the work!! Very accommodating and really knows what to do to make a special moment last forever. Thank you so much we are looking forward to the final finishes!! read more

Anel is Fantastic!!! Wonderful calm presence, low key ( just what we asked for!) of course the photos were amazing! Would highly highly recommend' read more

Anel took some pictures of our TeeBall game a few months ago. She did such a fantastic job and was super nice. She was very responsive when booking and extremely easy to work with. read more

Anel & Andrew may be the best photography and videographer duo I have met in San Diego. My husband and I got married in Ramona, CA in December 2023 and we were so lucky/blessed to have them capture our wedding day. From the moment they showed up they were professional but also so charismatic and fun to work with. Anel and Andrew helped us feel comfortable and relaxed when we are two people who don't like getting our pictures taken. Everyone compliments our wedding photos and Anel & Andrew. I am so glad I have these wonderful memories to look back on forever. Can't wait to hire you both for our next milestone/photo opportunity. read more

Anel is the best!!! She made us feel comfortable, my spouse was very nervous about photos but Anel was so wonderful that we both had a good time taking this photos. We will definitely come back if we want photos. I am do glad we found storytellers and it made our day even better. She sent us some photos right after the wedding which was amazing and we didn't expect that. Don't hesitate to pick them you won't regret it. read more

Anel was awesome, very easy to work with and she brought good vibe. It was only us and the wedding officiant, so we didn't need to have a long photoshoot and the cost was tailored to what we needed. She had a lot great ideas for poses, and we're excited to see the photo gallery when she's done. read more

The Storytellers team assisted us in photography and videography of my late mother's funeral. They were great to work with, professional and prices very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend them to my family and friends as thier work was excellent. The photos and video came out wonderful and returned in the expected time. Thanks again Anel and Andrew! read more

We had such an amazing experience working with Storytellers Global. One thing that I really appreciated from the beginning when I reached out for some more information, Josh asked to get on a call with my fiance and I to learn a bit more about our venue and wedding style and help fit us with one of their packages. I can't tell you how many other companies just sent over a brochure with their pricing with no follow-up. In speaking with Josh, he was very consultative, and also just a very pleasant person to talk with. After comparing a few other photographers, we landed on Storytellers because of their beautiful editing style, and we knew we would be in good hands with experienced professionals. We worked with Anel for our engagement photoshoot, and she was a complete gem. My husband and I are not picture people, and she was able to get us comfortable in front of the camera. Those pictures turned out beautifully. For the wedding, we worked with Anel and Andrew for photography, and Marilyn for videography, and I cannot stress how amazing it was to work with all of them. I was a bundle of nerves the day of my wedding, and not once did I have to worry about anything not being captured. If anything, being around them helped ease our nerves a bit, because they were all so nice to be around. We went with a full nine hour package, and by the end of the day, it felt like we all had gone through a journey together. Weddings are wild. The photos turned out beautifully, and we cried the first time we watched our video. We got to relive all of the beautiful details again (some that we didn't even get to see) without the stress that came with the big day. I would love to work with Storytellers again, and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful team of professionals. read more

Anel of Storytellers is an incredible photographer who really works with the wedding couple. The entire time we worked with Anel we felt heard and comfortable and we had a lot of fun amidst all the wedding stress. The pictures turned out so well too! Thank you, Anel! read more

We booked a mini session with Anel and they did an amazing job with the photoshoot at sunset cliff. Thank you for capturing the special moment for us! The pictures are gorgeous!! We are definitely gonna print out and frame them. read more

To start, I am beyond thrilled with our teasers! I attached a few to this post. Liberty is beyond amazing & has been so accommodating. She was amazing the day of the wedding, getting there a bit early & walked over to our hotel room to check in with me. She was so sweet and made us so comfortable. She was great and keeping the bridal party's attention when we were on a time constraint before the ceremony & she knew a lot tricks to keep us laughing (I wont give away her secrets)! The team was great leading up to the wedding checking in and having a call with us to make a plan, we live on the opposite end of the country. They were incredible with communication which is huge to me & have even accepted me asking about our pictures probably more than the average person would haha. (For the record we got an amazing set of teasers in 10 days!! It's only been 3 weeks since the wedding, we were told 4-6 weeks for all of the pictures, which is incredible turn around time). I have no doubt I picked the perfect photographer for our big day! Liberty was the perfect addition to our wedding day & I would absolutely recommend her to others. read more

Josh was amazing start to finish. He went over a really detailed timeline with us and we discussed the best time, location, and lighting. He's clearly VERY EXPERIENCED and took all of the awkwardness out of posing for family pictures - he directed everyone which was great. On our wedding day, he captured the exact aesthetic we wanted and we could not be happier with how our pictures turned out!! They were so well done, and they really do match the ones he has on his Instagram. He was also super efficient with communications and kept us up to date throughout the whole process. Finally, since we ended up having half an hour less than the contract said, Josh offered us some free prints from the website!! I would really highly recommend Josh for brides who know what they want out of pictures read more

I used Joshua for our engagement photos and I cannot begin to express how pleased I was to work with him! When my husband and I were engaged, I started to search for photographers with the hope that we could stay within a small budget. Many of the photographers we looked at had low quality photos that looked unplanned, candid and not appealing to the eye. We ran across Joshua's profile and were amazing. He has such an eye for detail and lighting. He was so easy to get in contact with and was prompt with messaging. We had to rain check our shoot (because it actually does rain in SD) and made it easy to reschedule. My husband hates photos but had a great time working with Joshua. Our goal was to not look like "awkward baby giraffes" because of our height and Joshua made us look amazing. He choose the beach and Joshua wasn't afraid to shoot in a place that can be windy and unpredictable. Definitely choose him for your engagement shoot!!!!! We received all photos in black and white and color. Here are a few of our b&w favorites read more

We hired Joshua to do our photos for our wedding in October and we loved how the photos came out! We felt comfortable with Josh in telling him exactly what we wanted and felt we were heard. Joshua captured all the moments of our wedding wonderfully and now we have photos that capture our best memories of the day! The reason I give one less star is due to the time it took to get our photos and the follow up. Due to Joshua's busy schedule, sometimes had to follow up to see where we were in the process. However, Joshua was quick to respond and develop an action plan that got us our photos and our album! I would recommend Joshua and his team! read more

Joshua was our photographer for our July 2017 outdoor wedding at the Martin Johnson House in La Jolla. We considered a number of wedding photographers, and ended up choosing Joshua for a couple of reasons: in perusing his portfolio, we liked his style; he had glowing reviews on Yelp and WeddingWire; he was super friendly and professional when we interviewed him (by phone); and was reasonably priced! On our wedding day, he showed up a few minutes early and did an amazing job putting us at ease during our first look and wedding party photos! He was able to direct our family and friends in a low key manner. As the evening winded down, he offered to stay the final hour of his contract, or if we didn't need additional dance floor photos, gave us the option of providing additional prints. We opted for the additional prints! He sent us a few teasers the week after the wedding and we got 700 amazing photos about two months after the wedding! Based on our upfront communication, performance the day of the wedding, and finished product, I would highly recommend Joshua! +1 - Super friendly and low key +1 - Reasonably priced +1 - Amazing photography +1 - Professional (e.g., early the day of the wedding) +1 - Able to direct family/friends read more

Joshua took some Engagement pictures for us a few weeks ago at La Jolla Coves and the pictures are absolutely amazing!! When I was looking for Engagement photographers I contacted several and Joshua was the only one who called back and that made me like him instantly! It was easy to setup a date and he was flexible with the location. In spit of having some car trouble that morning he reached at perfect time and made us at ease in less than a minute :) We captured some beautiful shots at sunrise. The shoot lasted for an hour and we got about 85 pictures (also a B&W copy of each picture so about 170 in total) in exactly 3 weeks! We love the pictures , we haven't stopped looking at them. I highly recommend Joshua for his excellent attitude, skills and prices! Good Luck and Thanks Joshua! read more

Joshua is an amazing photographer! He did our engagement shoot and we felt so comfortable and had so much fun that we also hired him for our wedding in Paris, France! Not only was he and his fiancée lovely, before the wedding, by meeting us and our family at our engagement dinner but they were amazing and lovely at out wedding! They took incredible pictures and captured beautiful moments with family, by ourselves, and together as a newlywed couple! We would definitely recommend him and we would book him for other special occasions!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!! We will cherish them forever!! read more

Storytellers Global - Event Photography Near Me

One of my first decisions in selecting any wedding vendor was my photographer. Photos are so important to our family and keeps the event alive for us and for generations to come. When I look at my Grandmothers' wedding photos I get chills thinking how happy they were on their wedding day. Many of us display our Mothers' and Grandmothers' wedding photos at our own weddings. Needless to say, I can only imagine one day my granddaughter, great granddaughter, etc... may be flipping through our wedding album as they seek inspiration for their own special day. Our memories fade but our photos can be preserved forever. Joshua's work stood out to me because of his lighting, artistic eye and moments captured. Our wedding day had both indoor church lighting and spot lights bouncing everywhere, as well as our indoor/outdoor reception venue. Joshua did a great job putting his talents to use and none of the those challenges prevented him from capturing amazing shots! He was on time, funny and stern when needed to keep us on track. He made sure he knew what our priorities were and made certain we had our "must have" shots! Our photos bring tears to my eye not only be because they are beautiful but because he captured the essences of our style, our families' warmth, our venues's grace, special details and our personalities. Our celebration is forever captured in his work and talent. Brides, we put so much work into making this day outstanding and Josh made sure we will never forget it. My post-wedding experience with Josh has been exceptional as well. He not only informed me of a wonderful opportunity he had to expand his photography business by offering a wedding venue/retreat center in Arizona but that he assembled a highly trained team here in San Diego. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the photographers from the San Diego team because she was our second photographer. Her work is also exceptional... I have the pictures to prove it. Understandably, cross state transitions and running your own business is a crazy busy time. Josh let me know the delivery of my photos may take a little longer than expected due to these circumstances and he was very upfront about asking me if that was okay. I completely understood and was fine with waiting a little longer for the photos. His professionalism is commendable. After all, I was so happy for his success and would expect no less because he is that talented! We received our photos only a week after he originally said he would deliver them.... I don't even consider that a long wait time. With everything that he had going on, that was really remarkable. I didn't hire a just anybody to whip out generic photos as fast as they could. I hired an extremely talented professional who is an aspiring Entrepreneur and growing business family man. Well done! I highly recommend Joshua and his team. Best wishes for a wonderful Marriage to all the Brides and Grooms out there! read more

Our wedding was 7/27 so this is a long overdue post. I have a million compliments for Joshua and his team. Working with him was one of the highlights of planning our wedding. Quick to reply to my questions and always had thorough answers. We hadn't met before my wedding day, but my husband and I agree that it was like meeting an old friend. Josh made all of us feel comfortable and calm on the most emotionally-heightened day of our lives. He is professional, fun and really talented behind the camera. When we got our photos, we were blown away. He captured moments we don't even remember from the actual day- and that's why hired a pro like him. The day goes by so fast and when we got our 600+ beautifully edited pics, we were in awe of all of them, and grateful to relive our wedding day through his lens. Thanks, Josh, we are grateful for meeting you and the way you captivated our favorite moments. read more

Let's face it, booking a wedding photographer can be scary. There is a certain amount of risk that you take because you are trusting one person to capture one of the most important times of your life. I found Joshua on Yelp and at that time he only had one review. He had an awesome booking special so I decided to at least check him out. After meeting with Josh my fiancé and I decided to hire him. I can tell you Joshua is someone you can trust with your special memories. We just had our engagement shoot at Windansea and we LOVE our pictures! I am not a fan of taking pictures but the engagement shoot was actually a lot of fun. Joshua let us be ourselves and managed to capture the essence of our relationship. He was open to our suggestions and made sure that we didn't feel rushed. I am so glad that I took the risk and booked Joshua as our photographer. I can't wait to see how great our wedding pictures turn out! read more

It's a pretty big deal to trust someone with your wedding photos as they can't be re-shot after if they aren't perfect. But with Joshua we felt like we were in great hands from day one. We met for coffee to discuss our plans and clicked with him right away. He is easygoing, and clearly a professional. We were immediately put at ease and then scheduled our engagement photos. Our engagement photos came out perfect, and we continuously get compliments on them. The wedding photos were even better, and even though our venue, Tom Ham's Lighthouse has difficult light to work with, he absolutely nailed it. He even explained to us and showed where we needed to get our photos taken and at what angle the sunlight would shoot perfect. Our photos are all amazing and we will cherish them and the memories made for the rest of our lives. read more

We worked with Joshua as our wedding photographer and he is absolutely fantastic! 1. The hiring process was very easy. Joshua and I had a phone interview where he asked what kind of 'feel' we were going for with our wedding and our style. He was very receptive towards all of my questions for him and gave us very honest and straight-forward answers. 2. Leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive to all of my bride-crazy questions. 3. On the day of the wedding, they arrived right on time. What I appreciated SO much was that when they arrived, they didn't come in with a huge gust of wind and create all this momentum around themselves. They came in so calm but with a plan and worked around me as I got ready. We didn't have some of the traditional elements (e.g. bridal party) but that was no issue and we did not lose out on photos because of that. In the pre-interview and list of pictures that I wanted, I completely forgot a couple of design items that I personally worked on. Without telling ever Joshua, he recognized those elements and got photos of them. 4. For the ceremony, Joshua was able to get so many beautiful shots and I don't even remember him being there! After the ceremony, he was fantastic about gathering everyone for the group family pictures and those came out so great! My husband and I are not comfortable taking photos and we have no idea what our 'angles' are. Joshua was able to create a space for both of us that we felt calm and comfortable and that definitely came across in the photos! His direction was spot on and we absolutely love what he captured. 5. He also did a great job at the reception! Speeches, dancing, and guests - he captured them all and those pictures are so much fun to look back on. 6. Getting the pictures back from him was no issue at all. I asked him if it was possible to airbush out a tattoo and he did with no problem at all and it looks very natural. He did an amazing job editing! Joshua was amazing to work with and his love for what he does comes through in every single picture. When we hired him, we had no idea how important he work would be to us and we could not be more appreciative and grateful to him for capturing our most special day. read more

If I could give Josh more than 5 stars I would! From the very beginning I appreciated his straightforward attitude, his professionalism, and his awesome customer service! He always answers my emails, always explained everything to the detail, and was always being there for any of my nitpicky questions :-D Josh was extremely thorough and covered everything from the timeline to getting to know the DJ's and the videographers. How did I find Josh? Through the amazing reviews of Yelp. I took a chance and since he had a great deal going on for one of his higher-end packages, I booked him right away. On the day of our wedding, Josh was on time, and was exactly how I pictured him to be. He immediately put everyone at ease, and had that really good combo of blending into the background but still making his presence felt for when he wanted us to do certain poses and what not. He was also VERY VERY VERY patient with our rowdy and possibly drunk groomsmen, so thank you Josh! When we finally got our pictures, oh man, did I look GOOD! Even my husband, who seriously hates pictures of himself, was taken aback by how he looked good in the pictures. The pictures themselves told a wonderful and beautiful story of our wedding day, and will most probably make me cry with joy and remembrance every time I look at them. BIG BIG BIG THANKS to Josh for your amazing talent, and for making our wedding memories absolutely beautiful! read more

This review is LONG overdue!! First - I have to say that Josh is simply amazing! My husband, Dan, and I found him a long time ago to take our engagement photos in La Jolla, CA and immediately connected with him. He has a great personality and made Dan and I feel completely comfortable. Because of this (and the fact that our engagement photos look amazing), we wanted to book him for our wedding in Maui, Hawaii.... 10/17/13 After speaking with Josh almost every month from the engagement photo session to the wedding (which was a lot), we had the chance to get to know him even more. We were so excited when he informed us that his wife and him were expecting their first child!.... And it just so happened that the due date was around our wedding date! You could imagine, as a bride and groom, how that could make you feel if your photographer is expecting on the same date of your wedding! However, Dan and I were completely comfortable and confident in Josh because he said he would be there for us no matter what - also telling us that his wife will be taken care of by family if it just so happens to be around the same time. The night before the wedding, Josh informed us that he became a father to a gorgeous baby girl! We were so happy for him but were sad that he couldn't be there for his wife, family and new little one. He told us not to worry, and on the day of the wedding, he rocked it!! He was there for us every step of the way. All our photos turned out amazing and he definitely went above and beyond! Dan and I are so happy and lucky we found him. Josh is wonderful and he is very flexible and professional. We highly recommend you use him for your photography. Our next step - using him for our pregnancy photos when the time comes! read more

I found Joshua while I was on Groupon. I was looking for a photographer to take our family photos so that my mother in law had family pictures of her boys before one of them deployed. I had done a lot of research on photographers in the area and I fell in love with Joshua's work. So I emailed him asking if he was okay with a party of 7. He was completely for it and we set up the payment though him and he still honored the Groupon price. We met up with him a a local park and we took pictures of the boys, the whole family, my son and pictures of the boys and I in our half marathon cloths and medals. He was great with all of us. He even got my husband laughing in a few of the pictures! I've tried so hard to do that, it's just not fair!! I got the proofs today and can't wait to get the CD with the pictures on it. My mother in law will love them. When we go back to San Diego, I plan on giving Josh a call and having him take more pictures for us. I can't wait to work with him again, he is truly a joy! read more

I've worked with the Storytellers Team on three different photo shoots over the last few years - family photo shoots and professional/lifestyle head shots. Every single time I've worked with them has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to the quality of their work being so superb, Josh is just such a fun, nice, lighthearted guy. It makes the picture taking process that much better and easier! The pictures are always phenomenal, and his turnaround time is incredibly fast. The fact that I have continuously turned to him for my important photo needs says it all. I couldn't say a bad thing about the Storytellers Team if I had to! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Our wedding was 07/07/19 and it was amazing! Josh you truly have a gift! Thank you so much for capturing our day! It has been a pleasure working with you! For those who are in search of a fantastic photographer/videographer look no further! Josh is the man and will give you exactly what you want. read more

I decided to use Joshua when I saw him in action at my brother's wedding. He did such an amazing job and was so personable. I contacted him and he responded so quickly, answering all my questions and put me at ease. I had a very simple wedding with no before or after photos and he gave me the same attention he would have given a bride with a large wedding. He did such a fantastic job catching each moment and his photos really don't appear staged. He did a couple of the traditional family photos but other than that they were very candid and he did a great job capturing our happiness in the moment. We received our photos timely and he even put up with my impatience responding quickly with with a time line on when we'd recieve our photos. We were so happy we chose Joshua and would recommend him to everyone we know!! read more

When I was looking for a photographer for are special engagement photos, I did my research and I came up on Joshua website on Yelp and saw his pictures and was amazed by his work and I had to get a quote and talk to him. I emailed him and got my quote and for his skill set the price was quiet reasonable and right there I knew he was are photographer. We took are engagement photos at Balboa Park in San Diego, and let me just say that they came out beautiful and am in love with them. We for sure be using Joshua again, and I can't wait to work with him again!! read more

My now husband proposed to me in July 2013, and we decided to have a civil ceremony the next month, August 2013. I was frantically searching for a photographer that I can book on a short notice since I only had a month until our ceremony. I was looking through yelp and groupon.. and actually found Josh through groupon.. He was offering a discount deal on wedding packages and then I looked him up on Yelp and he had awesome reviews. I called him and told him I just needed a photographer for a short time--Just the ceremony and not only was he free the day of my scheduled ceremony, but he was also very nice and understood that I wasn't looking for someone for any more than 2 hours. (Some of the other photographers were not flexible on this detail). He offered a great deal, and even suggested to go to a nearby park after the ceremony at the courthouse to get some nice outdoor shots. Communication with him was easy, he got back to my e-mails and phone calls right away. We are also expecting a baby and so we sort of incorporated a few belly shots into our wedding photos. Josh was great and my husband and I felt very comfortable with him. He made things so easy, we didn't know exactly what to do or how to pose and he instructed us very well. I just went over our proofs and everything looked amazing! I can't wait to see them in person. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone. I'm now a lifetime customer and will definitely hire Josh again! (Like our baby's first photos!) Thank you Josh, you're amazing and a true professional! read more

1st let me say I'm a professional photographer so I know how it works. I've done weddings and almost everything else. ***edit: I AM happy with the photos I received. I completely forgot to add that! I even told myself that I have to but my emotions came rolling back haha Pre-wedding process: This part he was good at. Josh responded to all my emails & calls promptly. He answered my questions thoroughly and helped with planning the day of timeline Wedding Day: I felt rushed and there was conflict between Josh & my coordinator; and he did not hide it at all. It was my wedding day. The last thing I wanted was to hear that two of my vendors weren't getting along. My cousin's daughter (2 1/2 yrs old) was a little less than supervised and getting in the way at times. He expressed his discontent with this which kind of offended me. Shouldn't the bride be the one complaining? haha I just thought that was rude & unnecessary. I (along with others) could tell his friendliness was forced but he over-all got the job done. Post-wedding process: NOT HAPPY AT ALL. Up until the wedding day he told us it would take about 6 weeks to get the photos back. Then on the wedding day he said 6-8 weeks. Okay, that's manageable. He gave us 8 teasers 4 weeks after the wedding which was nice (but expected). 8 weeks comes and goes with no contact from Josh. I reached out to him. He responded with excuses along with "Again, I am STILL quicker than most photographers even at nine weeks". That's a lie. I've spoken to many brides and most got their photos in 6-8 weeks. That was annoying of him to say. TEN days later and no contact from Josh STILL. (TEN weeks after the wedding) I contacted him and expressed my frustration. I told him I was annoyed that he kept postponing the date I was supposed to receive the photos. I also expressed that I wouldn't be so annoyed if he kept me updated without me having to be the one to reach out. I pointed out that after 10 weeks, he never once contacted me with an update to let me know he was running behind. I told him I understand life happens but I felt tossed to the side like I didn't matter. I also told him that I spoke with many brides and his claim that he was "quicker than most photographers" was false. Even his contract says "Photography by Joshua Killeen will provide Clients with digital copies of photographs within four to eight weeks after the event." If I was one of those sue happy people, I'm sure I could have got somewhere with that. I don't like to screw people over though. God takes care of that for me! Up until that point I was trying VERY hard to be patient and understanding with him but the lack of responsibility really pissed me off. He called me shortly after receiving my text but I was at work so I couldn't answer the phone. He then texted me that my photos were uploading right now (how convenient) and that he would like to explain what happened with the extended delay. He also said "I apologize if you felt that I was taking advantage of your patience". He didn't actually apologize for the delay. He apologized for how I freaking felt lol don't you just hate when people do that?! I feel like it's so condescending and a slap in the face. I called him back after work. We had a lengthy conversation and he still didn't accept responsibility. He just apologized for how I freaking felt. He offered something like more prints to compensate. THEN when I FINALLY get the photos, there's less than 400 photos and he was there for like 6 hours and there were 3 freaking shooters! How in the hell did I only get 391 photos when you had 3 shooters for HOURS?! I am not happy with his service AT ALL. I asked if I could have more and he yet again praised himself and compared himself to other photographers blah blah blah. He still owes me a photo album but I don't even want to reach out to him and ask for the process to get started. I'll create my own damn photo album and pay for it just to avoid talking to him. I forgot to mention he kept saying "just look at my reviews on yelp". Screw that! He kept saying it when I would tell him the truth like " you haven't contacted me at all". Your reviews don't reflect my experience. If they're all true, how am I the ONE client you have mistreated? I would never conduct a business in the manner he did. I'm sick of thinking about this so I'll conclude with this: I do not recommend him as your photographer. read more

I feel so blessed to have found Joshua and Storytellers Photography for our engagement and upcoming wedding photos. I am the queen of research and after reading reviews and seeing his work, I was happily surprised to find out how reasonable his pricing was and I couldn't be more pleased about our decision. Joshua gave us plenty of coaching prior to the engagement session so that we could get the most out of the photos, including suggestions on attire and location. It ended up feeling very "us" and I appreciated the time he took to get to know us and our styles - I know it will only help on the wedding day. I would strongly suggest getting an engagement session prior to the wedding. It helped us to feel like Joshua is a friend rather than an outsider taking pictures day-of and the results of his work prove that our wedding photos are going to be amazing - and who doesn't want one less thing to worry about day-of! Thank you, Joshua! We can't wait for the big day! read more

Josh and Michelle were AMAZING! I am obsessed with all of my pictures from both our engagement shoot and our wedding day!! I did not have to worry about one thing on my wedding day because I completely trusted their talents and gifts - which is hard to find especially when you only meet a photographer once before you book. On our wedding day, both Josh and Michelle were efficient, creative, and so personable. My husband thinks that they could have been a tad more creative with our poses, HOWEVER, they were great at time management throughout the entire day (we were fighting against the setting sun), they were both incredibly personable, and were considerate about moving the picture process along smoothly to make sure we got all of our reception shots in before our time was up. I cannot recommend them enough!! read more
