About

Based out of Detroit, Michigan, we're the Storytellers - Jae, Olivia, and Courtney

As Storytellers Photo Studio, It’s our passion to capture photos that will tell your stories on your wedding day - stories about you the bride and groom, your family, your friends, and how all looked, how all felt, how much you loved each other and still do, and why you loved each other and always will.

Our photos are timeless, harmonizing, and most importantly, storytelling. Our pictures never feel forced nor disconnected; we harmonize nature and classy structures. The beautiful greenery and a classic stone mansion, the stunning sunset and the high-rise skyline, a graceful bride in a vintage room... we strive to connect nature’s beauty and human creativity into a timeless style—it’s like a wedding: where two people, the bride and the groom, become one.

We deliver both in colors and in black & white for that some photos can perfectly fit in the family album or next to the parents’ or grandparents’ wedding picture in a silver frame. So when you can share your stories with your kids or grandkids, looking at the photos of generations, they may believe that some things last forever.

That’s why we do what we do: to preserve stories.

This is our mission:

We believe that we are called to preserve stories of
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness

We show genuine love not only in our photos but also through our actions

We capture authentic images that will tell stories for generations to come
stories that are full of hope, stories that will last forever

"…that’s what we storytellers do.
We instill hope again, and again, and again.
"

(Quote by Tom Hanks)

The Best Engagement/Wedding Photographers

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jae, Courtney, and Olivia for our engagement and wedding day photos. We were so impressed with how professional, organized, and kind they were. They are so passionate and creative with their work, and it shows in the photos. It was very difficult choosing just a few photos from the collection they provided, we were so happy with them all. On our wedding day, Jae made the effort to memorize everyones names in the bridal party (there were 14) for photos, which we were very impressed by! They know exactly what they're doing when it comes to getting a huge group together for photos. They were so organized with our timeline and worked very well with our other vendors. I cannot say enough amazing things about these photographers. We can't wait to work with them again in the future! I am recommending them to all my friends and family, they are simply the best in the business :)

Sweet, kind and an eye for detail! The best photographer ever!

Jae and Clarisa were an amazing duo! From the beginning Jae and Clarisa were amazing because they were friendly, kind and sweet and took amazing and unique photos. I had seen Jae and Clarisa work with another couple on their wedding photos and knew they had to take my wedding photos someday. That someday wasn't that far off! Before I knew it, I was planning a wedding and didn't know exactly all the plans I needed to make, Jae and Clarisa asked me questions and helped me plan a schedule were they needed to be and when. Jae and Clarisa are experienced and well thought out with their planning. Jae edited my pictures and Clarisa actually took the photos with her husband catching some candid shots from the side lines. The wedding day had it's stressful points but Clarisa was able to get all the photos I wanted and the people organized for me. She was sweet and helpful getting all the people in and out for photos in a timely manner. She checked out the venues before hand and helped me pick out places to take photos and poses for the photos. She was amazing! She has an eye for it! I highly recommend this photographer because they are good people, amazing photos(clear and unique and colorful), efficient, helpful, organized and reliable. You cannot mess around with who you have take photos. You can count on Jae and Clarisa to do an amazing job!

Like a Dream

I LOVED having Storytellers Photo Studio take the pictures for our wedding. Olivia and Jae took care of us throughout the whole process. They helped me feel like a princess on my wedding day. They were so accommodating and made our day feel like it was as special to them as it was to us. Our pictures were stunning and honestly looked like they came out of a magazine.

On the day of, Olivia made me feel so heard. I gave her a list of picture ideas and had a plan for several different spots we were going to go to, even though we were on a tight schedule. She didn't waste any time and ran around with us taking great pictures all day. Her second shooter, Courtney, was wonderful as well.

Since the beginning, Jae has been great with communicating with us and very clear about wanting to get what we wanted.

Overall, very dependable crew and AWESOME pictures that we'll get to cherish for a lifetime. Thank you, Storytellers Photo Studio!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
