I had the pleasure of working with Nancy and I can honestly say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. She was very professional, very creative, and attentive to detail. She was able to capture not just the moment, but the emotion and essence of it with perfect lighting and framing. My husband and I were nervous to be in front of a camera but Nancy was personable, approachable, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

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.

Hey there! I'm Madison- a seasoned elopement and micro wedding photographer based in sunny Southern California. Since 2017, I've been on a mission to capture life's most precious moments through my lens. My photography style? Think sweet, golden, and bright – a reflection of the radiant energy of California living.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first interaction with Sweet M Photography, we were impressed by her friendly, communicative, and detailed approach. I loved the different elopement packages she offered which made it really easy to pick the best fit for our day. Madison is incredibly knowledgeable, and her work is truly impressive. As a couple who's not used to being in front of the camera, she did an amazing job coaching us through different shots and helping us feel relaxed and natural. Honestly we would have been happy with 1 or 2 great photos, but with Madison they were all great. She also had them turned around to us in a week which was so nice to be able to see them while on our honeymoon. Can't recommend enough!

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.

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.

My husband and I hired Emily as our photographer after a friend of mine posted her wedding photos to her Instagram over a year ago. I wasn't keen on the venue's recommendations and I couldn't seem to find a photographer that was worth the money. Thank goodness for my friend posting her wedding photos at the time she did because I was about to pick any photographer for the sake of it. Her wedding shots were so gorgeous! The veil shots? Chef's kiss! I reached out to Emily and we hopped on a call a few days later. She is so easy to talk to and relatable. We went over things about what I want and what to expect. The day of our wedding she went right into the groove of things even though my mom showed up an hour late to the venue for photos. I was stressing and she made sure I forgot about that! She got shots I didn't even think of. She made those awkward laughing photos super fun. I cannot thank Emily and her second shooter, David, enough.

Please request a full gallery to truly see the depth of my photography. Unfortunately portraits are extremely compressed on this platform. I do love capturing people in all their forms. In Love, happiness, and excitement and so many other moments in life. Each session is a literal reminder of this amazing life that we live. From the moment you sign on with me we get to work. If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions.

Working with Bri was such a pleasure! For starters, we planned our wedding in two months, and she worked us into her schedule (for a destination wedding at that). She reached out, was very engaging, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Leading up to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she arrived hours early and spent time scouting out the best locations. For our engagement photos, she found the most stunning mountain location and trekked with us through the snow to capture the stunning photos! For our wedding, we told her what we were envisioning with the scenery and people, and she made it happen in a beautiful way! She was organized and managed time well in taking the photos. On our wedding day, she arrived early and captured the day perfectly. She is such a joy to have around, brightening the room and making it easy to rejoice in the day. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out stunning, we continue to receive compliments on them as people can't believe they are real. Would HIGHLY recommend Bri for any photos you would like!

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

I knew I wanted to work with Kellie after she did my friends wedding video a few years back. We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!
