Sometimes in life, it good to hear what others think of you. Many more times in life, you will just have to KNOW who you are and KNOW your purpose. For, there will be many who may try to dissuade you and life's challenges may appear to be too overwhelming. At these junctures, you MUST be settled in your own mind of your God-given-purpose. However, every now and then it is good to have someone in your corner reminding you of things you already know. Hearing words that supports your goal and vision motivates you to strive even harder to become the best version of you that is humanly possible.

Our experience with Anthony Carlie, of Stories 2 Tell Photography was wonderful from start to finish.  Anthony is very personable, and puts you at ease from the moment you meet him.  It is like a family friend is taking your pictures.  I feel that my wedding was captured perfectly.  The images were just lovely.  The pictures and video really captured the joyous mood of the event. We were blown away by our video intro.  It was like watching a trailer in the movie theater.  When my cousin from New York saw the trailer, he said, Wow! I'd watch that movie!  Anthony Carlie did such a great job on my wedding and reception pictures that I asked him to be the photographer for my father's 80th birthday celebration.  Everyone loved the pictures.  Anthony does a great job shooting both posed and   spontaneous photos.  I highly recommend Stories 2 Tell   photography. I would use him again. Anthony, thanks for the memories you captured for me and my family!

I am so glad that Anthony was a part of our wedding day! His added touch to remembering our special day is one that was worth every penny!! At first, I was skeptical that I wanted to have videography done at our wedding but hearing our photographer rave about Anthony and how much I would love him sealed the deal for me. After talking to him, I felt like he really understood what it was I wanted to remember and I anticipated working with him. The day of our wedding was magical and there is no way I would have been able to remember and really commit to memory all of the events he captured for us! I always felt comfortable and beautiful when Anthony would give direction to ensure he never missed part of what he and I had spoken about previously. One of my favorite parts of our video was hearing what my husband had to say during an interview he conducted following the reception. He edited our voices over some of the video and it really expresses how we felt in the moment. When I’ve re-watched the video, I’m able to relive those moments and feelings all over again! Being able to watch us recite our vows and see our loved ones enjoying our day along with us has solidified this as a keepsake I would recommend to anyone (for any event!) Anthony is an incredibly friendly guy and really takes the time to understand what it is that you want. His work speaks for itself and he’s timely in getting it back to you! He was a pleasure to work with and really added a special element to our wedding day that was indispensable.  Stevie Trailer Web

Anthony Carlie was our wedding videographer August of 2015. He is outstanding! We are today, two and a half years later, still receiving compliments on the excellent character of the videographer at our wedding and reception! The guest say that he kept them entertained and interacted with the guests, while awaiting our nuptials, making the experience a fun one! He is very patient and pleasant. I can attest to these characteristics, being a bride. There were a couple of unexpected events to take place and Anthony had no issues adapting. Our wedding video trailer is amazing! The trailer is an actual movie trailer! We've received so many compliments! The video of our wedding is outstanding, which was expected after we received the trailer. We are so happy we chose Anthony to be a part of our big day. Not only was he able to document our wedding day so perfectly, he also was able to pull footage of my grandfather from our wedding, who passed away recently, to make a video for his funeral service. At this emotional time, his patience, professionalism, and expertise was greatly appreciated. The video of my grandfather dancing at our wedding with several photos from the past was something we will keep close to our hearts, always. Thank you so much, Anthony Carlie! You are so amazing at what you do! You are truly and artist. Brittany & Jalyil Trailer 1

What made my photo shoot enjoyable, memorable and fun? 

June 25, 2016, I turned 40 and wanted to do something different but special and memorable for myself.  Thanks to Stories2Tell, I was given the privilege to accomplish that mission.  Having Anthony Carlie as my photographer made the journey fun and exciting.  One of the valuable characteristics in working with Anthony is the interest he has in people in front of his lens; therefore the instrument is not the camera but you, the photographer.  Through him I stepped outside of my comfort zone, stepped in front of the camera and allowed him to bring out an inner beauty, sexiness and joy not expressed in the daily hustles of life.  Thank you for telling the story of the woman I have become. Blessings!

Anthony Carlie of Stories 2 Tell is the most professional photographer/videographer we’ve ever worked with.  We first used his services for our Wedding, and based on the quality of his work; we decided to use his services again for our Military Retirement Ceremony.  During both events, Anthony captured every moment of the ceremonies all while making his presence unseen (Brilliant!!!).  At one point we even forgot he was there.  When we saw the finish product, we’re we amazed at his photographic talents.  We recommended him to our friends and received the same report.  “HE IS AWESOME”.   We will always use Stories 2 Tell for all our photo and video needs.

    Our experience with Stories2Tell was amazing!  He is an gifted photographer and he did a wonderful job capturing my special day. He was very professional and he got along with everybody. Since my wedding, I have booked him for other events that I have.

Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. He and his staff went above and beyond our expectations, with a limited budget. The photographs were amazing and he has the eye for that one perfect shot. He showed up early, stayed late, didn't try to sell us thousands of dollars worth of things we couldn't afford, ran interference with the in-laws, kept the bridesmaids laughing, was great with the kids, even got my bother-in-law to smile, but most importantly made our wedding more special for having him there. His female coworker was great for the before shots that I wanted to be kept private for my Husband. His son was an acrobat for those hard to get angles. Anthony has such a passion for what he does, who he is, and why he does it that he has inspired me as well. We will forever think of him as part of the family.

Story 2 Tell is a awesome company that will capture great memories that will last a lifetime, I was very satisfied with Anthony's work performance, genuine thrill and respect for marriage, I always wanted to hire a company that won't stress me and my wife out on one of the most important days of our life. Anthony was there early for rehearsal; he wasn't required to come, but he wanted to make sure he get all the details himself to make sure our wedding day was perfect. I didn't know this man, and was very hesistant to pay cash to a stranger. He delivered on all his promises; he sent email receipts for our security payment we made, without us asking for it. He captured everything on video! My wife is very happy we pick him. My dad has always told me happy wife happy life 😀! You made us proud!!
