    Photo Wizard

    We hired Celene for our wedding and our photos looked nothing short of a bridal fever dream—golden light, real emotion, pure magic. But what made the experience unforgettable was how effortlessly she brought that magic to life. One second we’re scrambling with a boutonnière and the next she’s pulling off a Vogue-worthy shot with a vision and a patch of shade. Her quick-thinking creativity is unmatched. She had us laughing, breathing, and actually enjoying the moment (which is wild, because weddings are chaos). Somehow she managed to capture every single beautiful second while blending into the day. If you're even thinking about hiring her, there is no doubt. She’s a photo wizard, an energy reset, and a walking Pinterest board come to life. Hire her. Trust her. Thank yourself later.

    A Perfect 10th Anniversary with Samahan Studio!

    We celebrated our 10th anniversary with a photo shoot by Celene, and it was an amazing experience. As a fellow Filipino, she incorporated elements from our wedding and heritage into the shoot, making it extra special. Celene was very communicative and open to my vision of incorporating our wedding day and sharing that story with our daughter. She made us feel comfortable, guiding us through every shot, and the final photos perfectly captured our love and family. Due to a recent family loss, I was overwhelmed with emotions that Celene welcomed warmly. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she helped us create. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands your story, I would absolutely recommend Celene 3

    Thank you, Celene!

    It was so fun working with Celene! She made us feel so comfortable and captured so many moments we’ll cherish forever. She heard our dream vision board & brought it to life more bc she had such fun suggestions that we ended up loving too! She also surprised us with so many behind-the-scenes/sneak peek shots that were just the cutest!! We’re forever thankful we found her & we couldn’t be happier to have had her capture our special day

    Working with Samahan Studio's and Celene was a dream! Celene was amazing at communicating, giving vendor recommendations and took the most BEAUTIFUL wedding photos!!! I have got so many compliments from my family, friends and guests about how professional, organized, efficient, and kind Celene and her team was. I would love to find another reason to work with Celene because she is amazing to work with, and the work she produces is next level!


Typically, couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra!
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. Typically I average between 300 images for a low key wedding and about 600+ for an action packed day!
In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive an online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
