Above and beyond!
We worked with Angel for our wedding day and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very professional and really fun to be around. He helped make our night go really smooth and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. -

Captivating Images!
We are impressed with the quality and level of service received from Alan and his Team! Nicole, our photographer was outstanding and went above and beyond what was expected of our day. There was so much going on that day that we didn't get a chance to truly grasp the moment or capture our own pictures. We were relying solely on the photos taken by Love Story Photography. When we received our photos, it was the first time we could relive that moment in our lives. Every photo was captivating and beautiful. A moment that we were able to re-live through every picture. The magic of that day was captured by Nicole so beautifully! Thank you!! -

Ashleigh H. Sent on 10/18/2023I’m very impressed with Love Story Photography!
I’m very impressed with Love Story Photography! I reached out to Alan and he responded to me right away. He responds quickly and addresses any and all of your questions. He was very kind and professional, which I appreciate. What really made him stand out to me, was that he asked me what my husband’s (at the time fiancée’s) name is and how our love story went. He genuinely seemed interested in how we met, our likes, dislikes, etc. He actually took the time to get to know us and to find out what’s most important to us. I figured if he cares this much about our story, then he will surely care about the pictures he takes of us.
Sadly, Alan was already booked the day of our wedding but he provided names of other people whom are on his team and a brief description of their personalities/styles which again, I thought was very professional. We ended up going with Nick who did a great job! I’m actually surprised that the pictures came out so well…I to feel very uncomfortable with my picture being taken so I tend to think I am not photogenic and look horrible in every picture. I think Nick could tell I was self conscious or awkward when it comes to taking pictures because he started to nicely coach me on how to stand/pose which was so helpful! I personally find this to be so helpful and I appreciate the guidance. As a result, he captured some very nice moments that will be framed and hung up.
The only complaint I have (which really is not a complaint but more of me being OCD) is that I wish he got a picture of me in my dress with the whole dress fluffed out (the veil and bottom of the dress completely stretched out/laid out) since I had a cathedral veil. Again, the pictures are very lovely! It’s definitely not a dealbreaker by any means but just make sure you say something if you are anything like me and suffer from a type A personality so such minutiae details stand out/matter to you. I do have to say though, I did pick Nick because he tends to do more of a natural look vs one of the other photographers who does a more romantic look so I really can’t hold this against as he was capturing the natural flow of my dress. I just felt it was worth mentioning.
Overall, I am very happy with Nick’s/Love Story Photography’s work. The line of communication was implacable, the people are nice, the pictures are good, and I think the prices are fair. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding or any special occasion for that matter. I’ve included some pictures below so you can get idea of their wonderful work. We are very happy with the end results. -

Love Story Photography has an amazing team of photographers. After picking them I knew that I had no worries about how my photographs would come out. They were kind and considerate and understood what was really important to my husband and I. We wanted to capture the real moments of our wedding as well as show the gorgeous location that we were at. I recommend them to anyone in the area as they will make you feel like family and allow you to enjoy your wedding without having to worry if the photographs will come out well. A huge bonus if you hire Love Story Vows as Heidi is just as wonderful and are affiliated with Love Story Photography! -

I cannot say enough good things about Love Story Photography! Alan was very communicative from day one, and continued to check in with us and keep us in the loop up until we received our wedding photos. His team is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are not people that feel natural in front of a camera, but Nicole (our main photographer) made it so easy for us! She was kind and funny, and so easy to work with. She made, what would normally be an uncomfortable experience, very comfortable and natural. Love Story exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are in awe of how our photos came out. The best day of our lives captured perfectly. Thank you, Alan & Team! -

Your wedding day is meant to be filled with people that love and support you and that includes the vendors for your wedding. Alan with Love Story photography was genuinely invested in the success of our happiest day. He is a someone that just shines with positivity and you need that energy surrounding you. He was patient, transparent with all of the contractural details, and was flexible with the direction we wanted. He kept us informed every step of the way. Our pictures came out beautifully and we’ve never felt more beautiful. We cannot thank you enough and so sorry it took me so long to write this! -

All-Around Amazing Wedding Photographer
Alan's gorgeous, bright photos of our wedding have been dancing across the desk in our home office in a digital frame, and they look amazing!
Plus, with the Online Gallery platform the company uses, it was only one click to automatically save all the (almost 500) hi-res images to a single Google Photos folder (to link to the digital frame), or share with friends and family or print directly from their Online Gallery.
Alan was super attentive during the wedding, including photographing the wedding party at another nearby location ahead of time. He took charge of us the day-of and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and even more we didn't know we wanted! Totally great, easy to work with, friendly, very fairly-priced, and a wonderful experience. Thanks again Alan! -

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding, and we are so happy that Love Story Photography was able to capture our special day. Angel, our photographer, helped us through our already stressful day by being kind and professional. He helped keep the pace by having a plan, and following our photo requests. The comment we get most from all our guests is that the day was filled with love from everyone who attended. Our photos encapsulate just that. Thank you, Love Story Photography, for capturing the amazing memories that I and my husband will come back to often. -

I hired Love Story Photography three years ago. Since then, I had to postpone my wedding two times, and Alan was very accommodating and helpful throughout that stressful process. All the years and months leading up to our big day this May, Alan would reach out to check in on us, and offer lots of advice and help along the way. On the day of the wedding, he was a pleasure to work with. He and Angel are incredibly talented, and the photos they took were absolutely beautiful. We also had to hire a new officiant three weeks before our wedding. We were lucky enough that his wife, Heidi, who has been an officiant for many years, was available on our wedding date. She was absolutely incredible and made our ceremony perfection. -

Wendy Sent on 05/20/2022Great Photography!
My husband and I got married on April 30, 2022 at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. We contacted Alan of Love Story Photography and he gave us all the details of packages and pricing and what to expect on the day of the wedding. He also took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and that was really thoughtful. The day of the wedding, Angel was our photographer and he reached out to us beforehand to make sure he answered any questions that we had. Angel was so great! He was nice, funny, patient, and explained how to pose, which was really helpful because we had no idea what to do at times. He gave us notice of how much time we had left for certain pictures and let us know there was time to do whatever type of pictures we wanted so we went with silly pictures and helped us pick some funny things to do as well. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and was such a great photographer to have for our wedding. I highly recommend Love Story Photography and Angel because we really enjoyed and appreciated their service and quality. At the end of the night, Angel showed us a recap of the pictures he had taken and we loved them! Can’t wait to see the full pictures when we receive them. -

Alan and his team were an absolute joy to work with on our special wedding day. Alan was professional, respectful and calming throughout the entire day, allowing us to truly be in the moment every step of the way and capturing the beauty of our love. We just recently received our wedding photos and are absolutely in love; we really feel like Alan captured our special moments so well! We will absolutely recommend Simply Perfect and use them in the future. -

Alan was an absolute sweetheart. After we took our engagement photos, he became Tio Alan to us! His attention to detail and eye for unique photos was much appreciated. He captured all of our highlights beautifully and I would recommend him 10/10 times! -

I used Love Story Photography for our wedding in Oct 2021. I knew he was the photographer for us at our first meeting with Alan to talk about his services. We regularly commumicated via text and he encouraged me to ask him for help with any wedding planning questions I had. He made me feel comfortable and found beautiful locations at our venue to take photos. He showed me some samples of the photos he was taken through out the day and I can not wait to get our photos back! Additionally, we had to reschedule our wedding twice due to covid and they were very accommodating the whole time. I would recommend Love Story Photography to others getting married. -

Alan and Heidi are absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I, almost instantly after meeting them, knew that they were the duo we wanted for our wedding! Alan took our engagement photos and wedding photos and even though we’re now out of state…I tell Alan that he’ll be the person we hire to do all of our big life event photos for. We’re supposed to pick our favorite pictures and we can’t decide because we absolutely love them all! Alan and Heidi told us that they would be the aunt and uncle to us when we sat down to start planning. They were not wrong. I love that we can always text or call them and they’re happy to hear from us. Whether it’s about business or personal life. Hiring this vendor will be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Because they end up like family. -

They don't disappoint!
I had my wedding at Rancho Las Fuentes on May 22, 2021, and my photographer Alan was amazing. I had a meeting with the owner, Alan, to go over details and specifics before booking, and he was very attentive, wrote down things that were important to both of us, and brought up special details that we hadn't even thought of such as; sunset time. He showed us his photographers work and we chose our photographer from there. Very professional, answered all calls and texts in a timely manner, and even asked if we needed help with other aspects of our wedding planning. As our wedding day neared Alan called to tell us that our photographer had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to make it, but that he would be filling in. Boy am i glad that he did, our guests and Venue owners were impressed with his attentiveness, energy, and personality. He NEVER took a break, he captured so many beautiful shots both posed and candid. He stayed in constant contact with us all night, asked what we needed, made sure we ate/drank, pulled us for different photo ideas, and was so lively. He was excited for us, and it felt like he was our friend more than photographer, it's very obvious that he LOVES what he does, and he has an eye on where to pose & how to pose. We haven't received our photos yet but from what he has shown us that night and the sneak peak he sent, i know were going to LOVE them. Simply Perfect Images is a great choice and their prices are not crazy, they truly think of their clients. We have walked away from our wedding day with a new family member...Uncle Alan! -

Simply beyond perfection
Alan is the best in the business! Our wedding photos far FAR exceeded our expectations. His style appeased everyone from my classic portrait loving MIL to my candid, emotional self! He captured moments I get to relive again and details I missed in the whirlwind of the day! One of my favorite photos is of my dad giving me away, the emotion captured brings me to tears. Most photographers cannot truly capture the emotion that Alan did. Working with Alan was like working with family, having a COVID wedding was honestly a nightmare and I could not have done it without Alan or his lovely officiant wife (lovestoryvows). They (socially distanced) held our hand throughout the process & were even able to give wedding/vendor advice outside of photography/officiating which I really appreciated.
To the stressed bride or groom that is combing through countless portfolios, let me tell you: Your search is over, you’ve officially found the best wedding photographer!!! -

One of the best decisions we made!
What can I say about our dear photographer?! When we first met Alan, we were instantly treated like family. He and his wife Heidi were super open with us, friendly, and really found a way to work with our budget to make sure we got everything we needed in addition to things we really wanted. Alan was my photographer, and he made sure to communicate with me often to make sure we captured every single photo that I wanted and had a clear timeline to capture everything. He was so reassuring and made sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision. Day of the wedding, he was FANTASTIC. You are with your photographer the entire day, and he made sure that we were comfortable, having fun, but still enjoying every moment. He was so flexible, dealing with last minute changes and any stressors without flinching.
And then there are the photos themselves. They are simply gorgeous. We have so many beautiful photos that really showcase us and bring back wonderful memories.
We can't recommend Love Story Photography more - our experience was simply the best. -
