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.

Rachael was an absolute gem to work with for our recent vow renewal. From the very first interaction, Rachael was so kind, detailed, and helpful - making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her communication was amazing, and she was incredibly patient with our kids throughout the day, especially with our autistic son. The quality of Rachael's work is truly priceless - the photos she captured are so timeless and beautifully done, and she has a true talent for making you feel at ease in front of the camera. Rachael went above and beyond for us, and we will never forget how special she made our vow renewal feel. This was extremely important to us because my mom is terminally ill and we needed to make this happen quickly. Rachael truly helped create one of the most important days in our lives and we will never forget it. We are so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

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.

Sarah is great! She is so fun and easy to work with. She asked me what I wanted and made it happen! She made my day less stressful and worked around me and my huge, chaotic wedding party. We loved Sarah and her pictures are gorgeous!

He spent time helped us to search for places from taking engagement photos to the wedding date. Steven is truly a professional in his field. He is dedicated, talented, and also a very fun person to work with :). He always goes above and beyond of just being as a photographer to make sure he captures the most memorial moments of your special day. We couldn’t thank him enough.

  • Serves Desert Hot Springs, 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 were so lucky to find Cassy to photograph our wedding! From the beginning, she was professional, quick to respond, and brought the energy. During our initial meeting, Cassy listened to my vision and understood exactly what I was going for. We wanted a themed, nerdy wedding, and funny enough, she was also a fan of the theme we had! She was so helpful through the process, especially with the added stress of postponements with COVID. On the day of our wedding, she provided so much guidance with posing, lighting, background, etc. to make sure all the photos turned out the best they could be. Lastly, her photos are beautiful! We love the bright and light look, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

They were very friendly with us and helped us on moving our equipment. I saw their photos and videos from the wedding gallery and they are very good. The bride and groom are very happy with their works. We would love to work with them again or give them referrals.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Apollo capture our wedding day. We searched for a lot of different photographers. I wanted someone who can capture good (aka hot) bridal portraits and party pictures, and they DELIVERED. Our photos turned out so dreamy, classic, and timeless. Like seriously--I want to post them everywhere! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. There was a little change-up, as the photographer was switched from the owner to a lead photographer Jess, but honestly, it worked out perfectly because she was such a good sport the entire day, hyped us up so much, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That was not easy to do since we had what seemed like a million events that day. Overall they were just great to work with. We're so happy we found them. Would definitely recommend!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.
