Kayla and Zach are an amazing duo who gave us a world-class experience that didn't put us into big debt. I was engaged in July 2022 and planned to be married in September 2022. From the get go, Kayla was super responsive through email and social media, which was great given the timeframe. We were working on a small budget with an elopement-style wedding and just a few guests. Kayla and Zach were accommodating and worked out a package that fit into our budget without compromising too much of the coverage we wanted. Kayla kept in regular contact throughout the process and I was never lost or confused. I was planning everything myself and they didn't make me feel small for not having an extravagant event that fit into a particular aesthetic, which was a problem I ran into with similarly skilled videographers. Overall, their customer experience is amazing and they are so supportive from start to finish.
On the day-of, Kayla and Zach were punctual and communicative. I had the pleasure of having Kayla filming my bridal prep, and my husband had Zach for groom prep. Both of them were incredibly nice and comfortable to be around. When it was time to start capturing moments, my husband appreciated how professional Zach was and noted that he knew exactly how to capture the important moments, especially between my husband and his mother. Kayla was incredible to work with and felt like part of our girl group over at the bridal prep. She managed to fade into the background at moments and give us space to enjoy our time together, but popped in at perfect moments to guide shots we may not have thought of. We found out after getting photos back that both Kayla and Zach had staged various photos of our rings and other details which were so lovely and wouldn't have crossed our minds to ask for.
At the actual wedding site, Kayla and Zach worked together to capture everything. They really went the extra mile to make sure our day was represented as lovely and romantic as it felt for us as a couple. They even stayed a little longer than planned to get some final photos of our guests which we really appreciated.
All in all, I cannot recommend Kayla and Zach enough. They made us feel so special and honored our day. Our budget and the wedding size wasn't treated negatively. They are also very socially aware and that was reflected in their work. Kayla made sure to get the important moments of my mom doing my hair, which is a very significant ritual as a Black woman, and she had so many ideas for creating my princess-like experience while working around a broken ankle, crutches and bandages and all. I was very impressed that the quality of editing also avoided washing out all the brown skin tones.
Everything truly was a dream. I have no notes. Hire them!
Hire them!!! I am so in awe of how present and conspicuous Kayla was. Never did I feel like “I wish the photographer was here to capture this” Kayla was somehow in a million places at once but in the most peaceful manner. They were easy to talk to, brought a sense of relaxation, we’re organized and made sure they captured every shot we wanted… overall just insanely lovely. And I haven’t even talked about the photos! Yes, just yes. To be able to capture the events on film and digitally in such an authentic way is something I will be forever grateful for. I feel like every photo truly captured the energy of the moment. I could not recommended these two enough. X
I highly recommended Storyteller Media for your photography needs! Kayla and Zack were so helpful with poses and finding good photo spots. They made taking engagement photos in the cold so much fun. They are both so down to earth, kind, and easy to work with. They are also super efficient and we’re able to capture amazing photos in only 30 minutes! I am so excited to have these guys capture my wedding day. They also have amazing wedding packages to choose from!
Kayla from The Storyteller Media did our second set of engagement photos (and soon to be wedding photos), and I love them! She was very helpful with location ideas, as I had no idea what I wanted; I just knew I wanted something unique. She mentioned a parking ramp in DTSF, and the pictures turned out so cool! There was even a hot air ballon in the sky in the background of some of our pictures. Unfortunately, it was too far away to get a clear picture, but it was so cool! Kayla and the team at Storyteller media are very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Trying to plan a wedding amidst a pandemic is stressful and upsetting, and Kayla is always there to help. Whether it’s just an open ear, or advice/information; Kayla is very helpful with everything! I am so happy that I chose The Storyteller Media as my engagement and wedding photographers!
Kayla and Zach were incredible! We got so many pictures and a beautiful video for a great price. They let us take some pictures with our cat before the wedding. They were really good at making us feel comfortable. They captured moments so beautifully and without any disruption. We also got our pictures back right away, which was so nice. Love them!!
I highly recommend Storey Teller Media.
Kayla took my engagement photos as well as a few individual shots. She was a very engaging and personable photographer. She is very easy to get along with and had very fun ideas and works hard to get the best shots for you. She takes your suggestions, needs, and wants into consideration at all times. The photos she gets are beautiful and very real shots of the moments you don't ever want to forget. I am blown away every time I see my pictures- they are truly something I will treasure forever.
