After 10 years of marriage, the memories from our special day have slowly faded. With weddings going by in a flash, it's nearly impossible to commit it all to memory and with time, it will fade. The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. We know that decades from now you will be flipping through your photo album or watching your wedding video; overflowing with love and joy. Knowing this is what motivates us!

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.

I love telling your authentic story.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

Looking for a photographer is difficult and so expensive. We talked to many and even though everyone is professional we never felt cared for till we spoke to Renee. Her and Ricky her husband/videographer were both so great and thoughtful. They checked out our venue to get an overlay. We met up on another day for a engagement session which turned out amazing! It was really fun and enjoyable. They were both so flexible and patient. In my opinion they turned out to be more than just our photographers. On our wedding things got hectic due to rain and plans changing but they both adjusted accordingly. All of our photos look amazing and they got great candid shots si we that's what we wanted. I have no problem recommending them to anyone. We have photographers now for life for all of our events and I would even say friends :)

Let’s create stunning images that become cherished treasures for years to come!

We told her what style we were going for and she totally nailed it. She made sure to pay attention to the details we wanted captured (and a couple insecurities we mentioned) She was super easy to work with, laid out a detailed plan for the day, and went with the flow when plans changed. Our photos turned out beyond perfect and we literally want to put them everywhere in our house. Highly recommend Kelsey!

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
We worked with Ellen about a year ago now and I kept meaning to leave a review, then forgetting, then feeling awful because working with her was AMAZING. I contacted her and asked if she would be able to do a maternity shoot with my husband and me in Death Valley. We arranged everything and even though the weather was windy and somewhat cloudy, Ellen made it work! My husband is not a huge fan of having his photo taken but while Ellen was friendly, she was also down to business and directive (which I asked her to be), and my husband and I both loved how helpful and specific she was. When we got the photos back, I honestly couldn't believe how cool they looked. We are definitely not models but the photos Ellen took belong in a magazine! She told us exactly how to stand, what to do with our hands, where to look, how to swirl my dress, etc and we truly couldn't be happier with the final product. It took me so long to write this review because soon after we got our photos, I had a baby! But I wanted to finally do this because looking back at the pictures we took a year ago brings back so many wonderful memories, and I am truly thankful that we were able to book Ellen. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for any occasion!

I cannot say enough good words about @eastonstudios! The clear and consistent communication on how much each package would and what each included was extremely helpful. Nancy was very kind, patient, and not pushy at all with wanting us to choose options. The entire time working with her was pleasant-before, during, and after the wedding. She was on time and communicated how she would start and end the photos for the package we chose. The photos are absolutely gorgeous! I am so proud of each and every memory that she caught-especially extra surprise of close ups and different decor and activities throughout the wedding. She has a gift for getting the right shot at the most perfect time. The photos take me back to my wedding day, that I can relive each time I see them. If you hire Nancy for your wedding photos and or video, you will get the best memories to look back on!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

We hired Emily to be our photographer for our wedding in 2023, and we absolutely loved her! She was so easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and was a pleasure to hang out with for the day. The pics turned out amazing! We wanted a style that was beautiful and artistic and captured light well but that would also be something we could show our grand kids someday and would make them feel like they were there. And Emily hit it on the spot. The pictures were stunning, and it feels like we're re-living the day when we look at them. I'd 100% recommend her!
