About Weddings by Hanel

Hanel Choi

Owner & Lead Photographer

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary. With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

    Booking Hanel was the best decision we made. We worked with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and cannot recommend him highly enough. His quality of work speaks for itself - absolutely phenomenal. But what you can't see from just looking at his photos is how amazing he is to work with. He is extremely professional and detail-oriented. He has a special ability to make everybody feel comfortable in front of the camera, and we were so impressed with how gracefully he handled all the moving pieces and unexpected twists and turns that come with any wedding day Book Weddings by Hanel - it will be the best decision you make!

    We booked Hanel for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot say anymore great things about him. His email responses were timely, thorough and it was incredibly easy to set up time to meet with him to discuss his and our visions. My husband and I are not camera people in the slightest, and often make silly faces in order to balance our awkwardness. However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day. Hanel was able to handle the chaos that were my family and friends on the wedding day, and easily navigated all the different groupings for photos the day of with immense ease. He kept to our wedding timeline without making us feel rushed. Our photos were sent back to us quickly after a month, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I had never felt so beautiful in my life (neither has my husband) and Hanel was able to capture those feelings forever for us. Thank you again for everything Hanel.

    Hanel and his team are true professionals! The eye him and his team have for catching the beauty in every moment is outstanding. We are in awe with the work they provide. Not only is the output artistic and amazing, their kindness and patience is incredible. Day of my wedding, I was stressed out - until Hanel walked in. I knew we were in good hands because he is a great director for where to go and what to do. I found Hanel because my brother used him for his wedding, a cousin used him, and of course I had to too. Word of mouth - but I hope to spread the word to others as well. Very deserving for the best recognition possible!!
