Hey Lovers!

I'm Bruno—photographer, cinematographer, and founder of The Storytellers.


Originally from Europe, I’ll be in Joshua Tree and Palm Springs from fall 2025, bringing my cinematic wedding videography and documentary-style photography to intimate weddings and elopements across the desert.


After years capturing weddings all over Europe—long days, road trips, intense emotions—I’ve developed a sharp eye for raw, human moments. I’m emotional, curious, and I genuinely connect with the people I shoot. I’m not about counting hours — I’m about wedding day coverage that feels honest and true.


My style? 50% pure documentary, and 50% intuitive direction. I’ll shoot quietly when needed, or step into the room when the energy’s high. Think of it like a mix between wedding filmmaker and close friend.


If you’re planning something real, romantic or a little wild — looking for cinematic elopement films or authentic wedding photos — let’s talk.


Let’s ditch the ordinary — and shoot for the stars.

No extra hours charged. Just heart.

Coming from an alternative background,
I can easily slide between the romantic and the wild.
Whether you’re more traditional or rebel at heart, I’ve got the guts to follow your lead.
Your call.
Cinematic. Raw. Built Around Your Story.


We won’t ask you to pose.

Instead, we’ll guide you through honest moments shaped by your story.


Using our background in cinematography and fashion-inspired art direction to make every story feel intentional, genuine - and never a template.



Why hire me?



Because I get it. You don’t want fake poses or a wedding film that feels like someone else’s.


The real advantage? I’m a foreigner with an international background — someone who’s choosing the desert on purpose (my crush), not by chance.


I’m here to mix chaos with love, capturing your story with zero stress, no awkward moments — just good vibes, friendly connection, and honest storytelling.


Let’s make something raw, real, and cinematic — whether it’s a full wedding or elopement in Palm Springs

Testimonials



"Bruno is an amazing photographer. He’s friendly and professional. When I searched for wedding photos at The Yeatman Hotel, his work stood out - it was unique and full of story. We loved it. He has a great talent for capturing true emotions. It was wonderful to create memories in Porto during our honeymoon. Just one week later, we received the photos, and they touched our hearts. Highly recommend him!”

FAQ

What types of wedding photography and videography services do you offer?

I capture elopements, intimate weddings, engagement shoots, and cinematic wedding films - in Joshua Tree and worldwide.

Can we choose the location for our elopement or couple shoot?

Absolutely. I’ll help you pick a spot that matches your vibe -for sure we can work together to bring up your storytelling around Joshua Tree.

How long does a typical photo or video session last?

There’s no strict limit. I shoot until the story feels complete. Some take 1 or 2 hours, others half a day. It’s about the energy and what you´re looking for.

How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?

We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes around 60 business days, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. Can be sooner either.

We focus on quality and detail to provide images that honestly show your day in our style.

What happens if the weather sucks on the day of our shoot?

We have 2 choices: We embrace it. Rain, wind, clouds — it’s all part of the vibe. Some of my most cinematic work happened under crazy skies. Or we postpone. You decide.

Do you live in Joshua Tree?

I’m based in Europe, but from fall 2025 onwards I’ll be regularly working from Joshua Tree for the season - no travel fees for you.

Do you offer both wedding photo and video packages?

Yes. I’m a photographer and filmmaker - so you can book just one or both. It’s all about telling your story fully.

What’s your videography and photography style?

Unscripted, cinematic, and emotionally raw. It’s part documentary, part improvised based on human connections- nothing fake, nothing staged.
