Hi, I'm Samuel Hui, a wedding photographer driven by a passion for creating unforgettable memories through my lens. What sets my work apart is my commitment to blending experimental creativity with a deep respect for the natural flow of each wedding day. I believe in capturing genuine moments that reflect the authentic emotions and unique personalities of my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.

Meet Ellen, a Southern California native and seasoned visual storyteller: I've been photographing events and portraiture since 2017 and specialize in destination weddings and elopements. For me, the best part about being a photographer is getting to witness my client’s once in a lifetime memories being created and knowing that my work will allow future generations to experience those memories as well. I take on all types of creative photo shoots when I'm not shooting weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a pleasure to work with Eileen for our wedding photos! She is professional and had offered ideas to help bring out our best moments in the pictures. It takes 30 days for her to deliver the pictures, and I think that it is worth the wait because Eileen provides both color and black & white versions, as well as curating the shots. I personally do not enjoy the idea of sifting through hundreds and hundreds of photos so I appreciate the extra time and effort on her part.

It truly felt as though we were talking to a life long friend. She really took the time to understand our vision and executed it beyond our expectations. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond by acting as a liaison between us and our coordinator, which was such a relief and something she didn’t even have to do. I, as the bride, even had one one time where she helped me with my dress and to fix my hair. And to top it all off, we received our pictures much faster than expected, and they were absolutely stunning! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers on every level. I look at our pictures so often and can't stop raving about them to anyone who will listen!
