If you're looking for a photographer to capture memories from all kinds of events, Sam Fu is the one to go with. My husband and I got married on October 10, 2025, at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas. As you may recall, it rained quite heavily around that time. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding, but due to the rain, we ended up having an indoor ceremony. However, Sam Fu is a very considerate photographer. He planned his shooting schedule so that we could take our first look photos while the weather was still good, before it started raining at the outdoor venue where our floral arch and decorations were set up. He also took us around the hotel to take many gorgeous photos! No matter if it's an indoor or outdoor shot, a portrait or landscape, a close-up or full-size shot, you will be amazed by his gorgeous compositions. He will guide you through all the motions when you're lost, and everything will turn out very well when you see the photos! During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, he captured all the touching moments, such as my husband and me entering separately, saying our vows, putting rings on each other's fingers, people toasting, crying, hugging, cutting the cake, and giving gifts. My husband is very picky. After seeing Sam Fu's work, he chose him over many other photographers. Now, my husband is proof. Sam Fu is a magician who can preserve all your good memories. Thank you Sam Fu! You're the best! read more

Such a great and professional team! They knew exactly what to do on our wedding day and during the first look. Even though we only had 1-2 meetings beforehand to go over details, they came prepared and provided thoughtful advice on different photo locations. On the day of the wedding, my coordinator was running late and, as the bride, I was already busy with makeup. Sam's team seamlessly stepped in, started capturing photos and videos right away, and guided us through all the important moments. Their professionalism and initiative made everything run smoothly, and I couldn't be more grateful. read more

Sam and his team were efficient and provided excellent wedding photographs. He is clearly an experienced photographer.

We hired Sam for both our engagement and wedding photos and each time he's shown how professional and reliable he is. For our recent wedding photos, Sam Fu even came early to familiarize himself with the best venue shots and, though we had a long photoshoot list, he made sure to get each one and many many more. Truly demonstrating great care and attention to detail with his work. And even though he has many other weddings and events to photograph each week, we've always gotten our photos back very quickly from him. My husband and I will forever treasure all the beautiful photos and will be reaching out in the future because we know, with Sam, we'll always have great results. read more

I believe photos are important; regarding whatever occasion it is. I really liked how Sam took our wedding photos. He made everything come to life. His photos and videos helped bring our vision to life. Thank you again for your outstanding service and for helping make our wedding so beautiful. read more

Sam did an outstanding job as the photographer for our wedding. He had just the right amount of direction and communication to guide us in the photos. I especially like the artistry he has in composing a beautiful picture. I highly recommend! read more

I feel very fortunate to have been able to find Sam and his studio to take our pre-wedding/engagement photos. With the pandemic, it was hard to find a photographer who would even respond to our emails. They offer a few photo packages to choose from. The team was there early for hair and makeup. What I love most is that they have a selection of wedding dresses to choose from to wear for the photoshoot. During the shoot, I loved that Sam directed us with all these different poses! Our pictures (and poses) would have came out very awkward had he not given us some tips. The photos came out in such amazing quality and so pretty! Sam and his team were super professional and welcoming. I would definitely recommend his studio to family and friends! read more

Sam is great! I found Sam initially via yelp when I was in search of a pre-wedding photographer. I stumbled upon his page and saw some nice reviews and decided to check out his website. I really liked his photos so I emailed about the packages he offered. I decided to go with a pre-wedding photoshoot package that included 2 locations and 2 wedding dresses to rent. After we set our date, I scheduled another time to go into the wedding dress rental store to pick out two dresses. On the day of, I got there early and they had a hair and make up artist for me. The HMUA also stayed with us during the photoshoot to do any needed touch ups. She even helped me change up my hairstyle when we switched to the 2nd location and dress. During the photoshoot, Sam was really good at directing us. We were initially really nervous about looking awkward and stiff but Sam had all the poses in his mind. Him and the HMUA reminded us to smile when we were getting tired of smiling and even gave us great tips on looking good in front of the camera. I am also glad that Sam was experimental and gave us different vibes and poses to try out. All in all, I would definitely recommend it. I chose to do a pre-wedding photoshoot knowing that I would not have enough time on my actual wedding day to dedicate so much time and care to making sure I get the best photos. This is a decision you won't regret. read more

Sam is incredibly professional and an amazingly talented photographer. He is a great communicator and very reliable. He made us feel very comfortable and gave fantastic direction on posing. He went to three different locations and twice to the beach just to make sure I got all of the shots I wanted. I am absolutely stunned by his work! He captured our love on our special day in a beautiful way. All of the thousands of photos he took are masterpieces. He was patient when people were late (including me haha, my make up took longer than expected) and he still made sure we were perfectly on time with my timeline. A true professional! My guests commented on his speed and calm friendly ease with his work. He also returned his finished product the very next week! I am so very thrilled to have been able to work with him. I am incredibly happy with how my wedding pictures came out, it truly captures my perfect day. Thank you so much Sam! We love you! read more

We are so pleased with his services, and our pictures came out so nice. I shared them with the designer of my wedding dress and they were amazed and asked if they could use the pictures for their website. read more

Great thanks to Sam and his team! I found Sam for my pre-wedding photos after I saw his works on social media which impressed me with his professional photography skill. Comparing to other studio on the market, their pricing is also more reasonable. But it still surprised me when I got in touch with his team. From the day I was consulting to deciding locations, scheduling, testing dressing, Joey show his patience and profession. On the day of photography, Sam is really experienced which made us completely stressless. Yin is also greatly helpful. The whole process went through smoothly and it made us forgettable. When it came to retouch Sam is responsible and our communication is efficient that meet our expectation. I would truly recommend Sam and his team to my friends and family. It is a really satisfied experience. read more

Soooooo happy we had the opportunity to work with Sam Fu of Unique Photography.

It took us from 10am to 6pm to finish our photo shoot. Overall, great experience and we love our photos. Thank you Sam! read more

Sam is amazing; he always knows the best angel to catch the best light and the way he organizes a picture is also desirable. His photoshop team is also very patient and has revised my photos at least five rounds until I am satisfied. Yin is also amazing; her makeup looks very natural, much like make-up free but makes a big difference. Highly recommended! read more

Sam did an amazing job on our wedding day! The photos turned out better than I could have hoped, COVID ended up changing our plans about 5 times but he worked with us on every change.

On our photo day Sam were focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between.

Sam Fu and his team were absolutely brilliant! My husband is a photographer and was very selective on who he wanted to capture our wedding memories, and when we saw Sam's work, we knew he was the one! His style is dramatic, has flair, and is really very deep and beautiful! On top of that, we should have looked online for picture ideas beforehand to give him and be prepared (we didn't, sorry Sam!), but Sam and Benjamin were so patient and understanding and gave us lots of direction and suggestions since we didn't have any of our own, and they captured some truly sweet and beautiful moments! Sam also helped create settings to make moments better and more beautiful! And he captured SO MUCH more than we could have hoped for! He also allowed us to make payments, was super fast to reply and communicate, and he was overall super easy going! Wedding planning during Covid times was chaotic, but we had no issue with our experience working with Sam Fu! He was fantastic and we are SO BLESSED we got him for our event! ALSO, he provided the wedding photos so quickly! We didn't want to rush him or bother him, but there was no need, because he was so much faster sharing the pictures than we could have ever imagined! Sam also arrived early to our event and stayed longer when our event ran over! Gosh, we couldn't has asked for a better more understanding person/team! Adam and I are extremely thankful to you Sam Fu and your fabulous team for everything you did for us!! XOXO read more

SamFu Photography was awesome! He has great rates, and takes beautiful photos! We did the prewedding shoot and wedding day package. For the prewedding shoot, we did the inclusive package for hair/makeup and also I was able to pick 2 dresses from his extensive collection at his studio. Even when I picked out and took a very pink fluffy long dress and took it to the beach (it was meant for more urban shoots), he didn't mind at all (that there was sand and ocean water in it!) and didn't charge me extra. For the wedding day, he and his assistant came early and we had plenty of time to do many variations of getting ready shots, first look, lots of bride and groom, and bridal party photos all before the ceremony. He was open to ideas and shot them all. He is very patient and willing to put in extra hours for the perfect photo. He takes the time to pose us. I love that he emailed us all 300+ photos a few weeks after the wedding! It was so quick and I love that he and his team got so many shots. He was very accommodating and kind. We love our photos. Thanks SamFu Photography! read more

I just got my wedding photos yesterday and they exceed my expectation! The light and picture composition are perfect, and they are good at catching people's facial expression.
