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.

Bree's communication was clear, punctual, and affable, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is clean, timeless, and truly surpassed our expectations.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Gleimlight Photography during our wedding planning last year, and fell in love with their work. My now husband used to own his own production company and is big into film and photography, so, he had incredibly high standards and I was so excited we had found a photographer that met and exceeded our expectations! Working with Christina and Jake was effortless. 2020 was definitely a challenging year, and planning a wedding amongst the chaos was even more challenging, but, they went with the flow of our constantly changing plans (like changing up until the week of), and made what was an extremely stressful time in our lives that much easier. We're both camera shy, and they just made it easy and comfortable, and man oh man, our photos are breathtaking. Thank you, Christina and Jake, for sticking with us and your patience, for your professionalism, your can-do attitude, and for giving us such an amazing gift with our photos. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! It wasn't the wedding we originally planned, but, it was a beautiful day and we're so grateful you were there to capture it for us. xoxo H&C

It truly felt as though we were talking to a life long friend. She really took the time to understand our vision and executed it beyond our expectations. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond by acting as a liaison between us and our coordinator, which was such a relief and something she didn’t even have to do. I, as the bride, even had one one time where she helped me with my dress and to fix my hair.

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.

I can’t begin to say how amazing, and how talented Emily is! Any couple that is looking for a photographer, needs to stop right here. My husband and I are the most awkward people when it comes to taking photos. But Emily is such a freaking pro and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Especially with me, and how much I hate taking photos of myself. But she was just so great with giving direction and so personable. Not only that, but we had multiple people compliment her on her work. We ended up hiring Emily as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos, and couldn’t be happier! I’m so happy I found her, she’s honestly going to be my main girl when it comes to taking any other professional photos down the road. Emily is the absolute best!

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!

She went above and beyond the entire time and even took time before our shoot to scout out different locations that she thought would work well so we could use all of our time we had with her more efficiently. She also thought of everything and got my fiancé and I a picnic to enjoy as she knew we might be hungry during out shoot and we even utilized that to get some fun photos that are now some of my favorites. She made us feel so comfortable during our time and we loved working with her. Also, she took so many photos and got them back to us insanely quick. She was so amazing that I will be trying to come up with reason to use her again in the future.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVE Kellie so much. So so much that I’ve used her for my engagement pics, wedding pics, family pics, pregnancy announcements, gender reveal and baby shots. She’s the best out there. You will not regret it if you hire her! I can’t even count the amount of times that my friends have commented on Kellie’s MAGIC. They are all jealous I’m able to book her because she’s high in demand!! Book now while you can!!!!
