I’m Taleia Mueller — founder of Love and Narrative, creative director, visual storyteller, and seasoned entertainment professional with a lifelong passion for capturing love through intentional imagery. Based in Ventura, California, Love and Narrative is my heart-led photography business, specializing in preserving the precious, fleeting moments of weddings with depth, artistry, and soul.

With a rich background in the entertainment industry, I bring a cinematic eye and intuitive sense of timing to every shoot. Years of experience both in front of and behind the camera have shaped my storytelling instincts — enabling me to not only document moments but to evoke emotion, frame beauty, and guide narrative flow with precision and heart. My work seamlessly blends the authenticity of documentary photography with the elegance of editorial style — guided always by emotion, composition, and connection.

Rooted in my background in branding, operations, and emotional storytelling, I approach every wedding as a one-of-a-kind narrative. I believe your love story deserves to be honored — not just scheduled — and preserved in a way that feels timeless, cinematic, and true to you.

Love and Narrative is more than a service — it’s a reflection of my belief that beauty and meaning belong together. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a bold destination celebration, I’ll meet you with vision, calm presence, and a fierce dedication to capturing your memories with clarity and intention. My goal is to create photos and films you’ll not only treasure but proudly pass down for generations.

Best Photographer Ever!

I can’t say enough about how great Taleia and her team were during our shoot. They created a very relaxed and fun environment all the while getting the best angles and poses. Everyone was kind and punctual. She was very detail oriented with directing the poses for the picture to smoothing out the flyaway hairs. There were so many great photos taken! Highly recommend her for your special day!

Summer of love engagement photos

We had such a wonderful experience working with Taleia on our engagement photos. We wanted a relaxed nature filled look and we are so happy with how they came out. She was on time, helped us with location, and was very professional. She will do our wedding photos too when the time comes!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
