About this vendor
We're the Storytellers
- Jae, Courtney, & Olivia.
We tell stories through photos.
It’s our passion to capture photos that will tell your stories - 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 our 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.
At the end of the day, that’s why we do what we do: to preserve stories.

Jae and his team are brilliant! Great attitudes, exceptional eye on details and a great team to work with. I cannot say enough good things about our photos!
I cannot say enough great things about Jae, Courtney, and Olivia. I had the pleasure of booking them for both my engagement shoot & wedding and both sets of photos were absolutely ...
breathtaking. Having two sessions, I have had experience with each of the photographers on the team and everyone is phenomenal!
It was important to us that we book photographers my fiancé & I felt comfortable with because neither of us are used to being in front of a camera & have no idea how to pose for photos. However, you would never know by looking at our photos :) They were great at suggesting poses that turned out looking completely natural. You can just tell by the candid shots how much we really enjoyed the whole experience. Generally I hate having photos of myself, but I fell in love with each of our galleries and cannot stop looking at them. You can truly feel how happy we were that day.
My engagement shoot was in Belle Isle and I had no plan on specific locations. Courtney and Olivia came up with a plan of where we would start and end based on how the lighting progressed through the evening. We had to have had at least four different locations all within close proximity which made for a great variety of photos to choose from for our save the dates.
For our wedding, I (yet again) had no plan on where we would take photos around Detroit. Jae and Courtney had a meeting with me as the wedding approached to discuss potential locations near my ceremony and even mapped it out so i could get a visual of where the spots were in proximity to my church. On the day of, Jae entirely handled giving the party bus driver directions and directing him so I could enjoy myself - I truly was along for the ride :) we had a group of 18 traveling to different locations for photos and Jae and Courtney were GREAT about getting the group together, posing them, etc. all while remembering everyone’s names!
In our call, we discussed shots that we wanted/would consider “must haves”. After the day was over, I realized I forgot to ask for multiple shots. When I received my gallery, I was so happy to find that every shot I wanted and forgot to mention made its way into the gallery. There were photos of every single table of guests at my wedding (something I would never think to ask for), photos of my entire bridal party crying during my first dance with my dad (since I was only paying attention to my dad, I did not realize this was going on), and so many photos of the details of our day. The photos told so many stories that I can be reminded of for years to come.
We were married in August (obviously peak wedding season), and still received our gallery filled with tons of photos within 30 days! This entirely exceeded our expectations.
In addition to being phenomenal at what they do, the whole team is just a pleasure to be around. They are both professional and such fun to be around.
They gave us exactly what we wanted - tons of timeless, elegant, breathtaking photos. I can never thank the team enough!

ey 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 :)
Storytellers Studio did SUCH a great job with our greenhouse wedding reception! The photos were gorgeous, and everyone loved them. Thank you for capturing our perfect day!

r wedding photos are as beautiful as the day itself! Jae is a great person to work with! Jae is extremely professional, kind and very patient. Photography is one of the most special ways for you to remember your big day; you will not regret choosing Storytellers Photo Studio!
Jae and Clarisa were amazing! I had seen them take photos of my sister-in-laws wedding and new when I got married I needed to have the same photographers, Jae and Clarisa. They hav...
e an eye for candid photos capturing everyone's best expressions during the days events. They also did an amazing job getting the bridal party and family and friends to cooperate and get together for photos and smile. I had a huge bridal party and Clarisa was able to handle it with a beautiful sweet spirit and was efficient with the tight schedule we had. The quality of the photos is unbelievable. They are bright and clear and just stunning. Clarisa and Jae did a great job organizing themselves and asked me questions to make sure they were prepared for each of the places we would be and that we had enough time and the lighting was good. They thought of everything! They were amazing to work with and I highly recommend them!

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!!

Storytellers Photo Studio are master photographers and excellent individuasl to work with. My wife and I were very impressed with his photos. Jae and Olivia really took the time to...
get to know us and figure out what kind of photos we wanted. They are also very professional and timely with his appointments. I would definitely recommend Storytellers Photo Studio to my friends. I hope our paths cross again.
Storyteller Photo Studio really was the best! The photographers were so friendly and easy to work with, not to mention great at what they do. From beginning to end, our experience ...
with them was everything we could have hoped. Communicating with them beforehand was easy and clear. They were very flexible during the shoots. They had great ideas for what would look the best. They were very affirming. Our wedding day was a little better and less stressful because we used Storytellers. Our prints look phenomenal. They are high quality. The photo editing is perfect. Everything was quick, from responses to inquiries we had to getting the photos and prints sent to us. Everyone was happy with our interactions with them and there were no problems anywhere throughout the process. I can’t think of a way they could have been more helpful, classy, skillful or overall good as a Photo Studio.
Professional , prompt, attentive, patient and caring!
