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.

  • Serves Riverside, CA

I’m Ashley Checkos, a wedding photographer with a background in management and photography. With 3 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented, organized, and efficient approach to every event. My philosophy is to see clients through my lens, letting their unique energy set the tone for their day. I’ve worked at diverse venues, from intimate courthouses to grand historic hotels, connecting deeply with each couple to capture their story. I’m excited to create lasting memories of your special day.

I highly recommend MyselfLens for any occasion to take your photos. Ashley is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable even when I was 7 months postpartum and didn't love my body. She moved throughout my busy day with ease and it felt like she wasn't even there at times which made it possible for her to catch candid moments. I still look back at my wedding photos in complete awe that she could capture those moments and make them so aesthetically beautiful! She's so professional yet also feels like a friend. I will use her time and time again! She really made me feel like a princess.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Awarded Best of Zola
So so so highly recommended Fox & Fig Photography! Sarah was very professional and diligent throughout every step of the process. She constantly went above and beyond with all of our questions and wedding day needs. She assisted every step of the way! There is not a moment of our day that wasn’t captured. Her work is beyond stunning and we’ll continue to book with her for all of our future life milestones!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

We hired Lerina for our 2021 wedding and she stuck with us through pandemic reschedules with such empathy. We were both uncomfortable being in front of the camera but she was so easy to work with and ensured things went as quickly as possible for us. It was so helpful to have the engagement shoot included so that we could see what we'd be in for on the big day. The engagement photos came quickly and were beautiful. On our Wedding day Lerina and her team were early, and helped keep things moving. The preview photos came within a week and were stunning. A few weeks later we got the full set and were blown a way. She captured all of the moments we wanted perfectly. I would recommend Lerina to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer, or franky any professional photos!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Serves Riverside, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

We did our maternity and holiday family picture with Cassy, and our family love it! I have a golden retriever and a 3-year old toddler so you can imagine how chaotic it can be to take a good family picture with two goofy balls. Cassy is amazing! She has this special magic to make the photo session a fun game for them and capture the precious moments for the family (the interaction, the laugh and etc.). She is patient with all our requests (e.g. different combination of family members) and she is good at guiding us for poses that looks natural but aesthetic. The whole session was like a fun activity and the whole family enjoyed it. We got our picture in about a week ( it's just like a blink considering it is holiday season!) and everyone loves it - the photo gallery is super easy to access and share with family members. Perfect if you want to do a digital holiday cards :) I'd highly recommend Cassy to capture the precious moments for every special occasion.

I cannot recommend Emily enough! We found her a few months out from the wedding and did a call to talk about our budget and our vision for our wedding. Emily was so accommodating, shaping a photography and videography package that fit us perfectly! On our wedding day she was incredibly hard working and well prepared. She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered! She also played with traditional photography, shooting on film, and polaroids all of which gave us unique looks that we love! If you're looking for a skilled, artistic, and friendly photographer, you've found her!

My wife and I hired Wellington for both an engagement shoot as well as for our wedding day and we are absolutely in love with the results. He has an exceptional eye behind the camera and his photography style is artistic but also captures the truly special moments. We were blown away by the portfolio he delivered to us after the wedding. He seemed to be everywhere at once. He captured so many amazing moments from our big day. The knowledge and experience that he brings to the table is invaluable as well. I know he is new as a small business but he seems to know a lot about photography and he is passionate about it as a hobby. We appreciated how he was able to work within our budget but also was able to provide realistic timelines and photo locations. Cannot say enough good things about the photos that Wellington delivered, and it was a delight working with him. I would not hesitate for a second to hire him for another event.
