HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING FILM THAT TELLS YOUR UNIQUE STORY...AND...WALL-WORTHY PHOTOS BY ONE TEAM...AND ALL FOR ABOUT THE COST OF A GOOD MEMPHIS PHOTOGRAPHER.

Wedding photography and video are really expensive...but it doesn't have to be that way! Our skillset and my unique system provide you with the wedding memories you want at an affordable price.

Hi! I Don Lawler, a former PBS documentary filmmaker, producer/director for ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS, and trained at the famous New York Institute of Photography.

Over twenty years ago, a friend asked me to shoot her wedding. I produced a documentary film that told her story. Four of her friends booked me to do the same for their weddings. The next year, sixteen couples chose me, and after that - we have averaged about 30 weddings a season. I absolutely love shooting weddings and have shot well over 600 happy couples! (I'll be happy to share testimonials, reviews, and contact info with you.)

I love the entire experience and enjoy getting to help awesome couples like you tell their amazing story so they can share their memories...forever!

I know that this is your first time planning a wedding and it can be confusing and stressful. I'll be your guide to a fun experience and an amazing wedding film, gorgeous photos for your home, and an heirloom album, too.

You're overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I understand. It doesn't have to be that way! I will be your guide and help you get anything you want for your wedding. I'm the Vice President of the Midsouth Wedding Association and our members have the answers you need.

Everything is a blur right after the ceremony.

My team and I are here to be your eyes and your ears. You will love your beautiful photos, album, wall art, and emotion-packed wedding film, and all the other important details that we will capture for you.

Shouldn't you save your wedding memories as best as you can?

Whether you hire me or someone else (and that's ok), I believe you will regret not saving your wedding memories with BOTH professional photography and videography.

You're super busy with multiple major life events. You don't have time to waste looking at a ton of photographers and videographers. We get it! And, we can do it ALL for you quickly, professionally, and at a better value.

You'll have a team ranked in the top 5% nationally by Wedding Wire. We've won The Couple's Choice Awards multiple years in a row. Our work is guaranteed to make you happy!

Don't lose your wedding memories!

Don was great to work with! Nothing with wedding planning was easy or smooth, and of course the day didn't go perfectly either. But the videography with Don and his team was by far the easiest part! From signing the contract to the day of, he was a consummate professional and we are very happy with our final product/video!

Don was wonderful! He was extremely accommodating to my busy, changing schedule! While I didn't have a videography, I have seen his work and it is definitely worth it.

I felt comfortable with Don right away. It's immediately obvious that he's passionate about what he does. Seeing samples of his work, it's also immediately obvious that he is very good at what he does. I love the idea of our day being presented like an actual feature film- I'm super excited to see that!

My fiancé used to work for Storytellers and has seen firsthand the level of care that goes into each project. Our wedding hasn't happened yet, but I have full confidence that Don and his team will more than do it justice!

My wedding day hasn't arrived yet, so the services have not been provided yet. However, I can already tell this will be a magical experience! I fell in the love with their work and after my first consultation I knew this would be a match made in heaven! Don is extremely professional, kind and flexible! I can't wait to see how our video and photos turn out!

Don Lawler is a true creative professional, and he was absolutely wonderful to work with! I highly recommend Don Lawler for any photography needs. He is great to work with, always focused on the client, and always available if you need to ask questions/give feedback, etc. I felt that he really had our interests at heart and he was very attentive to our wants and needs. We feel that we couldn't have found a better photographer who truly understood us as a couple, and more importantly, our story as he captured it in the best possible light. Don it truly a master at what he does!

We absolutely LOVE our wedding video that Storytellers shot and edited. I can't stress how much having this video means to me, and how happy I am that we reached out to Don and his team to do it. Watching our video is like re-living the happiest day of my life all over again. Photos are great, but they can only give you so much. Having actual VIDEO of our day - seeing sweet moments that we missed, hearing our vows and our best man/maid of honor toasts - it's really invaluable.

Also, they were wonderful to work with - very professional, responsive to emails/phone calls, and flexible. The quality of video they shot is amazing, and they captured everything from getting ready to leaving the reception beautifully. I talked to and priced a lot of videographers in the Memphis area, so I feel confident saying that they give you a great price for the high quality product they deliver. I definitely recommend!

I used Storytellers for my wedding. It was such a joy speaking with Don. He was so positive and really was interested in getting to know you and your future spouse. Just a very kind man. Don really wanted to give us the best experience and video of our wedding day possible. Jared was the one to shoot our wedding day because Don was already shooting a previously booked wedding. Let me say Jared is so awesome! He was videoing and I never knew. He blended in and was very detail oriented. Jared has such a great personality as well. My now husband and I felt like Jared was an old friend of ours. I can not WAIT to see how the video turns out!!! I know it's going to be great! I'm so happy that I chose Storytellers to be our videographer.

Let me say that I have watched mine and my husband's wedding video at least 4x since receiving it on yesterday. Don Lawler and his team did an awesome job of capturing our day. When I met Mr. Lawler, I truly felt like he cared about our story and wanted to do what he could to show our wedding story as we wanted it shown with the cinematic feel. Mr. Lawler's customer service was and is A+++. I barely knew he was at the wedding ceremony :). When I saw the end result..I was WOW'D. If you are looking for someone who is "top notch" at what they do look no further. If you are looking for someone who has a pleasant attitude and who will work with you and listen to you..look no further. I highly recommend "Storytellers" for your event. You will be very pleased with his work. Thank you Mr. Lawler...From Kenya & Darren :) October 4, 2014

Don was the Videographer for my daughters wedding a few years ago. A friend recommended him and said it was the best thing they did as far as their daughters wedding. Well, she was right! We absolutely love the video and the memories it holds. We had a perfect day and the video captures that. We all enjoy reliving that wonderful day over and over through Don's work.
Now I have another daughter getting married. The first thing on the budget was for Don's wedding video.
If you have a tight budget leave something else out, not the video. Don's ability to capture and edit the moments is amazing.He is a true artist.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have been working with Don Lawler at Storytellers for over a decade. His extensive experience creating wedding films really lets the couple's unique personalities shine through their wedding story. Don has a natural talent for putting brides and grooms at ease. He always shows up with a smile on his face and makes my job easy! The end result is a wedding video that is professional, entertaining, and most of all, truly reflects the bride and groom. I highly recommend Storytellers!

Don is the consummate professional. We always enjoy performing weddings with Storytellers. Long after the evening is done, and the guests have gone home, your photographs and videos are whats left for the rest of your life. Don is the kind of videographer that you can trust those moments to. Great group of guys!

I have only had the pleasure of working with Don on one project but it was an experience I will never forget. It was refreshing working with a professional who knew the right light and angles to get the perfect shot. He even came prepared with a script for me to read. The film came out better than I had hoped. I would love to work with Don on another project in the future and I would recommend him to the world.
