I had always dreamed of taking my pre-wedding photos at my alma mater, and I wanted that classic Korean drama look with a Korean-style bridal style. The photographer and makeup artist were incredibly professional. They listened to every detail I wanted and brought my vision to life perfectly. From the makeup and hair to the overall styling, everything was done with such care and precision. Shooting at my university made it even more special, and the final photos were exactly what I had imagined. I highly recommend Mr. Fu if you're looking for the perfect pre-wedding shoot here! read more

I chose Unique because they were one of the few in the area to offer an all-inclusive package. My package included dress and jewelry rental, hair and makeup for the couple, the photoshoot, all raw digital images, 20 edited photos, and a printed canvas. The hair and makeup artist was able to follow my vague instructions and helped customized my overall look, including jewelry choices. She also stayed throughout the shoot for touch-ups, and even helped with posing. Sam's knows what angles to shoot and which lighting works. He guided us through the poses and was able to wrap up our shoot earlier than estimated even though I usually find myself very awkward in front of the camera. I also appreciated that they provide all of the digital files, including the 500+ raw ones. When I wasn't a fan of the initial editing style, Sam was very receptive to my feedback and revised the photos quickly. The reason for 4 stars is the communication. During the consultation, I was hoping for more guidance on ideas since I didn't have a clear vision. I was just shown his portfolio on his tablet and quietly scrolled in front of him. After the shoot, I had to follow up for updates on my raw and edited photos. Only after I reached out first did he respond immediately. read more

My husband and I hired Sam Fu and his team for our wedding photography and videography and they exceeded our expectations! We are both quite awkward with posing, but the team guided us on our poses and made everything really easy for us. The quality of our pictures were exceptional and we loved getting to look back on our wedding day. We hired them last minute for videography and it was the best decision we made. They edited it so beautifully and really captured the love and happiness from that day. The video is something that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend them! read more

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

We had an amazing experience with Sam! Our event was planned pretty last minute, but he was SO adaptable and made sure to still capture all of our wonderful moments! We loved our pictures so much. We highly recommend you book Sam for your special day as well!! 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.

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 Fu is a very professional photographer and has a perfect studio working! I booked with them for my engagement photos. When I saw the sample albums, that is what I want! The photos are so beautiful! The photographer is awesome. While we were taking the pictures, he's very professional. He won't waste time to do other things. The only thing he'll do is to find the best way to take good pictures as much as he can. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 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. Sam and his team were super professional and welcoming. I would definitely recommend his studio to family and friends! read more

I have known Sam from my wedding planner, and I actually met Sam at LZ Bridal last November during my wedding gown tryout session. Sam's studio was located in the same building as LZ Bridal, and it happened that Sam was also in his studio in the same day. After I settled with my wedding gown, me and my husband decided to sit down with Sam to learn more about the wedding day photo packages and hoped to get to know more about Sam and his team's photo-shoot style. Sam immediately shared his photo albums with us, and tried to answer all our questions and concerns on wedding day photography. From our conversation, we have learned so much about Sam and his team's photo-shoot styles and techniques, and most importantly, we could tell that Sam loves his job! He is very passionate and enthusiastic about photography, and we could see he is proud of every piece of his work. We had decided to choose Sam and his team for wedding photographer for our special day in our mind, because we are confident that Sam would do his best to capture our very best moments. On our wedding day, Sam and his team arrived on time despite the raining weather. Due to the unexpected rain in SCAL, our wedding had to move indoor instead of on the oceanfront lawn as originally planned. Because of this change, the photo shoots had to take place indoor. With the limitation of lighting and space, Sam and his team tried their best to capture the every beautiful moment of our wedding. With their professionalism, the entire shooting experience went smoothly. We finally received our wedding photos one month after the wedding, and Unique Studio did not disappoint us. Thank you so much Unique Photography!! Everyone looks lovely in the photo, and I cannot wait to share these amazing memories captured in pictures with my friends and family. Highly Recommended!!!! read more

I originally came in to LZ Bridal to try on dresses and i think it was fate that brought me to Sam. While i was trying on dresses i overheard his conversation with his client while he was taking their engagement photos. What caught my interest was what he said to the client. The client wanted some photos with some flowers and trees but he had standards, he said that is a bit lame and not exciting why don't we try something else. That's when i knew I wanted him to be my photographer because of his expertise and suggestions. If you want something different and more artsy Sam is your photographer. 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

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

So I spend $40 to take a ID photo and it got rejected because it's unqualified. And I asked for a original picture on phone call, and the photographer just being very impolite and impatient. And said it's impossible his photo is unqualified, and asked me for proof. And even try to let me hand my phone to the office staff who said the photo is not working. Taking an unqualified photo is just unprofessional. And I have to take a real ID photo again nearby. By the way this is how the office staff said after she saw the photo:"you can't photoshop your photo, or it could be rejected." So I called the shop and told them he removed the texture on skin too much. And he just denied doing wrong. read more

Sam photographed our twin toddlers' Christening at St Andrew and at the Arboretum. We are so glad we found him, he has an amazing eye and he caught very quick special moments that we didnt even realize he had caught. We told Sam the idea of photoshoot we wanted and he did not need more direction, he caught so many amazing photos of our family and we are beyond happy, Sam is truly an artist at his photography. He was very easy going and also a pleasure to have around. He completed his editing and returned final images within a few days, super fast! We really enjoyed meeting Sam and the captured memories he provided us to last a lifetime. We plan on using him for our future events. Sam is highly recommended! read more

I spent a long time researching wedding photographers in my area and was hit hard by their work, they automatically went to the top of my list and we are so happy that they could shoot for us.After having the opportunity to meet, it was clear how their personality and passion matched their talent, these guys are a force! On our photo day Sam were focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between. Group shots were super smooth and efficient in studio And then individual shots with my wife were just a blast. Through out the day Sam continued to bring a thirst and enthusiasm for capturing photos and what made that day so special for us, i know those images will be personal and we cant wait to see them. Photography was a big thing for us and having the talent and personality of Sam entrusted with that responsibility was a dream. read more

We hired Sam for photoshooting of our engagment photos and it was a great experience. Sam and his team was very helpful from the beginning. His staff in LZ bridal Joey and Annie provide good advises on bridal dresses. Cost breakdown and photoshooting expectations were clear from the beginning. On the photoshooting day, it was over 90 degree in LA. Sam and the make up artist Yin made the process smooth and easy. Sam was patient and very experienced. He provided good instructions on poses and makes things easy for my husband and myself that have never done photoshooting. We cannot be more happy with the outcome of the pictures.

OMG! Sam was wonderful to work with and our pictures turned out phenomenal. He was extremely professional from the minute we stepped into his studio for hair and makeup. He was friendly, engaging, and made us feel very glamorous. We shot at 2 locations. His picture taking skills and different angles and perspectives made everything look so natural and amazing. He used the golden hour lighting near sunset time to its full advantage and we cannot be more satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend him for any serious photo shoot. He's been a pure joy to work with and his artistry is amazing. Definitely 5 stars all the way around! read more

Unique 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 Sam Fu and Unique 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.

My fiance and I are on a really tight budget for our wedding, but I wanted nice engagement photos. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and they last longer than your wedding day. I'm so happy I had found Unique Photography and Sam; they had photography packages that actually fit my budget that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I waited until I saw my proofs to leave a review because I wanted to see how the pictures actually came out. They were amazing! It had the WOW factor without breaking the bank. Sam and his team are super friendly and efficient. They work around your timeline not theirs. We all know brides have got a million appointments and things to do. I'm so excited to see the final product after Sam is finished editing! read more
