Sam and Sola Lee Photography

rvous before our engagement shoot with Sam and Sola, but they made us feel comfortable and relaxed within the first 10 minutes of meeting. Sam and Sola have such a fun and positive energy, it’s impossible to not smile when you’re around them. I love that they encouraged us to be our natural and true selves, I never felt like I was posing for the camera. Our engagement shoot experience was so amazing that we had literally zero concerns for our wedding photography. The photos from both the engagement shoot and wedding are absolutely stunning. My jaw dropped when I first saw them. Everyone and everything looks so beautiful, they captured so many awesome moments from the day that I’ll cherish forever. I’m so thankful for Sam and Sola, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Sola offered some city pictures for us we couldn’t turn it down. They work with their couples with such ease and capture the emotions so easily. There were not many static or staged pictures, but they allowed us to be our goofy selves. The work they each produce is phenomenal! We are a bit biased, but they are the best wedding pictures and videos we have ever seen. The videos, sneak peak and full length, were amazingly edited and evoked so much emotion from each of us and all of our family members and friends. Our pictures are so beautiful and elegant and we can’t wait to print them to put all over our home! Look no further for a photographer and videographer, Sam and Sola are where it’s at!

genuinely had interest in us as a couple. It felt like an afternoon hanging out with friends, and in the end, me and my fiancé have the most BEAUTIFUL pictures to show for it. I am one hundred percent satisfied with the work and I would give them a million stars if I could!

elt by all. We are so happy to have found them!! Personable, kind and patient. Look no further for an incredible duo that will make sure your day is perfect! The photos they captured are incredibly beautiful. We are so thrilled we can live our day over and over again.

of gratitude for them.   As a couple, we were not the most photogenic or outgoing people, and were camera shy. But Sam and Sola made us feel comfortable and look so good! They truly are so gifted and talented in what they do. They brought out the joy, love, and excitement we both carried as we looked forward to this next season of our lives. During our engagement photo shoot, they were so encouraging that we felt like we had cheerleaders on our side! As we got to know Sam and Sola more on a personal level, we knew that both Sam and Sola were extremely caring and devoted to their clients, to their friends, and to their families.  As our wedding day approached, we got to know a little bit about how hard Sam and Sola worked as we reunited for our cousin's wedding. We saw them run up and down through the wind, rain, people, servers, guests, as they captured every detail. We knew that they preview their locations, analyze lighting patterns with the sun and weather, prepare for traffic situations. We discovered that they spend hours and hours editing and photoshopping. They truly work really hard and love what they do.  Our wedding day was such a blur, but as we look back on the pictures that Sam and Sola had promptly prepared for us, we can't help but smile and cry and reminisce about how perfect and joyful it was. We felt very assured that Sam and Sola would deliver and they still exceeded our expectations.   There aren't enough words to describe Sam and Sola, not just as photographers, but as people, but we'll give this a try. They are in no particular order.. timely, prompt, warm, fun, professional, flexible, thorough, detailed, talented, caring, humble, hard-working, and finally they are friends. Thank you so so much Sam and Sola! We love you guys!!!

als at putting us at ease). Sam and Sola are the dynamic duo, and their extensive experience with weddings made our big day far less stressful. In fact, taking photos was one of the most fun parts of our wedding! Thank you both for helping make our wedding day one of the best ever, and for beautiful photos to remember it by. With love and thanks, Isabel & James

y are their photos beautiful, they are the absolute sweetest people who will make you feel so comfortable and like a million bucks at the same time! We are sooo thankful that we had them for our engagement session and wedding day. No need to look any further - they are the best of the best!!!

enthusiastic vibe that instantly makes you warm up to them and trust them in all their photography direction. I’m sure a lot of couples think they are awkward when taking photos together, believe me - we are one of those couples - but every time Sam and Sola showed us our photos, they somehow had magically captured us in the most breathtaking light and the most comfortable and natural emotions. We truly saw our love for each other through their work and for that, we will be forever grateful. There really isn’t enough appreciation we can say in a short review like this, but one of my favourite quotes is this - “It’s kind fun to do the impossible” - Walt Disney - and let me tell you, they have so much fun doing the impossible and they bring so much joy to so many people’s lives during some of their most important life moments.

comfortable and captured our day in a refreshingly natural way. Normally my husband and I feel awkward in front of a camera but Sam and Sola helped us relax and somehow made us look incredible! We love the images they delivered and will be treasuring them for the rest of our lives. They truly go above and beyond and are the most detail oriented and dedicated vendors we worked with. I cannot recommend them enough!

e our special day! They are the kindest most sweetest people ever.

la captured our wedding day so beautifully and I’m so happy we decided to use them. They really were the best part of our wedding day experience.

r clients and making sure they absolutely love the final product they deliver. They made each photoshoot (engagement, bridal and wedding) so comfortable, casual and fun, which was super important for us as my husband does not like getting his picture taken and is especially uncomfortable doing photoshoots in busy public areas. Sola and Sam knew strategies to help him tune out all the people/noise around him and he was able to relax and act naturally -- We enjoyed every minute of it! Also, we were very impressed by their level of professionalism - it was apparent that they hold themselves to a high standard in every aspect of their business. Not once did they make us have to question or worry about anything, we knew 100% from the get-go that our photos and videos would turn out perfectly and they did! No review could ever be enough to describe how grateful we are to Sola and Sam and how happy we are to have them as friends.

os turned out so beautiful they brought us to tears. We booked Sam and Sola two years ago (before we were engaged) because we loved the style of their work for our beach wedding. It was very important to us to have photographers we clicked with because we wanted to be at ease with them for our big day. Sam and Sola were the only photographers we met with, because they were amazing from the start! We booked them for our engagement shoot too and we were blown away with the photos and the entire experience of doing a photoshoot up in the mountains. We ended up booking wedding day videography with them as well. Sam, Sola, and their team were professional, friendly, genuine, creative, will do just about anything for their couple (in my case, grab a grasshopper out of the tulle of my dress) and are absolutely the best! They listened to what we wanted, but also took full advantage of the venue and took photos we wouldn’t have even imagined. We felt so thankful for them the day of the wedding. I recommend them to everyone I know!

y were professional, responsive, and were always helpful in providing advice whether it's engagement session locations or the wedding day timeline. I remember they were constantly scoping out locations for photos during the engagement session even when we were done and on our way back to the car. They were asking us if we’d be okay taking a couple more pictures because they thought this one shot would be perfect! I can't imagine having any other photographers capture our engagement and wedding day. The photos are not only absolutely STUNNING but what you can't see from their photos is how comfortable they made us feel in front of the camera. We loved our photos so much and had such an incredible experience that we booked a christmas session with Sam and Sola after our wedding. We’re so incredibly grateful to have met such extremely talented photographers who are so passionate about their work that we constantly recommend them to all our friends and family. It’s been 3 years from the time we had our first meeting with Sola and Sam to when we had our last Christmas session with them. While their social media following has grown significantly, they still remain the same kind, down to earth, thoughtful, super fun to hang around photographers we knew from the beginning. We would 1000% percent recommend them to anyone who has photography needs!

ll I can really say is HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY! Besides the fact that they are professional, organized, and will produce the most beautiful picture you will ever witness, you will get the opportunity to work with the best couple! I can't rave about them enough! Sam and Sola will join you on the dance floor, get down in the dirt (literally) to get the best picture, and make sure your guest feel glamorous like they're walking down the red carpet. Till this day, my in-laws and parents are still raving about how much they love Sam and Sola for making them feel comfortable in front of the camera and bringing their fun personalities along with it. I know that in 5, 10, and 15 years later Damon and I will be sitting on a couch, drinking coffee, and looking back at one of our most happiest day of our lives and it's all thanks to Sam and Sola.

e completely honest, we had booked a photographer prior to Sam and Sola. After our “not so pleasant” experience leading up to and during our engagement shoot with our prior photographer, we decided to invest in Sam and Sola. Immediately, we experienced a complete 180 with Sam and Sola. They accommodated to our needs and took it upon themselves to carry out all the logistics. We were able to completely trust them and enjoy the process – as every couple should. Not only are they professional and communicative, but they truly value connection with their clients. They take the time to get to know clients, including their preferences and vision for their wedding. We had so many transitions and demands with 350 guests. Even as hectic and demanding as it was, we literally had the best time at our wedding. There were so many eventful moments we hoped to have been captured and we are so happy that everything was captured beautifully. And now we can always look back and cherish those priceless moments. We are forever grateful for their hard work, guidance, and attention to detail. I will tell you from experience, there are photographers who do not value these things and lack in certain areas. Let me save you your time and heartache. Invest in Sam and Sola, because they excel in all areas and will not disappoint! We even got our sneak peek the day after our wedding and our whole wedding album within 6 weeks. I mean, wowowowow! They were voted Seattle Bride Magazine’s “Best Photography” of 2019 for a good reason!

n on anything else about the wedding), I am so glad we went with Sam and Sola because I don't regret at all. Not only the pictures came out beyond our expectations, working with them was the best. You spend the longest with your photographers (among the vendors) on your wedding day, and I worried because I thought I was gonna die from feeling awkward being photographed. Sam and Sola made us feel like we were just joking around and having fun, so I didn't end up looking like Chandler from Friends in photos. They were professional, very considerate and sweet, and we couldn't have asked for better pictures for us to cherish when we are old. Thank you again for everything. *hugs*

ed our expectations. They are true professionals in every sense: prompt, courteous, responsive, and caring. Their work really speaks for itself, but what we loved most about them was how fun they made the process! Being in front of a camera is not for everyone, but Sam and Sola made us feel comfortable and it really allowed our personalities to shine. We were absolutely blown away by our engagement and wedding photos! Everything looked fantastic and we were so excited and proud to share them with our family and friends. We’re still receiving compliments! It’s crazy because it felt like they were always in the right place at the right time! This was such a huge moment in both of our lives and we were so happy they were able to capture it all. They are truly incredible people who have so much passion for what they do. We love you Sam and Sola! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! - Reanna & Grant

d out more stunning than we ever could have imagined and we are so happy we get to look back at all of the amazing photos and relive our wedding day!

ith them, as we all got excited together. We felt their genuine care not only in person but through their work as well (they spent hours photoshopping my husband's hair because it was so windy on our wedding day!). Their attention to detail was so appreciated, especially when the day is so hectic for the bride and groom. While we changed into traditional Korean clothing, they completely flipped our pyebaek room, so that it'd photograph better with the light and background. We had lots of elements/transitions throughout our wedding day, with 250+ guests, and they were there to somehow gracefully capture it all. We were blown away by the sneak peeks and were floored by our wedding gallery. They have a way of beautifully capturing personalities and emotions, that make each photo special. We received photos of moments that we missed or forgot about, so it was wonderful to look through them all, a few weeks after the honeymoon. I simply don't have the words to fully express our gratitude and joy towards Sam & Sola. The photographer was the first vendor we booked and 100% we'd pick Sam & Sola again. They were really with us throughout the day, celebrating with us, crying with us, dancing with us, everything! They even stood in the rain and wind for hours, smiling the entire time. And from the photos, you'd have no idea it was raining. Sam and Sola helped capture our perfect day, so that we can treasure such special moments forever. Seriously, if you're looking for a photog, hurry and book this wife/husband duo!!

t session, we instantly knew that we were going to have a great time with them. Although they've only been doing this for a few years, Sam & Sola were so professional and their photos/videos speak for themselves! They took time to know us as a couple and not just "customers", and through this journey we've become friends! How often can you say that about your wedding vendors?! I rave about Sam & Sola to all my friends, especially those that aren't married yet ;) It takes one to know one, and I feel like that applies to capturing love. Sam & Sola are such great people, that are so filled with love, and it shines through in the pictures that they capture. Hubby & I aren't big "picture" people, we don't take pictures often.. so we were worried about how to pose or not look awkward. From the moment we started shooting our engagement shoots, Sam & Sola made us feel so comfortable, they guided us through the different dynamic motions that then turn into such cute candid photos! Our engagement session just felt like we were hanging out with friends, walking through a park! Our wedding day was no different, Sola kept me calm when we were falling behind the scheduled times, she helped fix my veil and even brush the dirt of my fluffy dress. It felt like they weren't there to just shoot photos, they are there to help make your dream day come true! They are so invested in making sure that we enjoyed our big day, despite the stress that the big day can carry! This duo is a one in a million, you will not regret choosing them as your photographer/videographers. They produce such amazing photos, videos, and most importantly, memories. Their awesome personalities is just the icing on the cake!

s, awards, professionalism, proactiveness, attentiveness, promptness and the magic of nailing every shots, we choose them because they both have the heart of gold. The love and passion they both shared is undeniably beautiful and captivating. I truly believe good photographers comes from within, the ability to capture the essence of the moment and make them stay forever. My husband and I have never ever met a couple that made us feel this way and what an incredibly experience to be captured by them for our engagement shoot and wedding day. Looking back at our photos made us laugh, cried and fall in love all over again. That’s the power of their photos and thank you from the bottom of our heart for making us feel this way until we are old and gray. If you are thinking about booking Sam and Sola, you are about to experience a once in a lifetime journey from the start til the end, they will be there guiding you and holding your hand along the way! Forget about camera shy, forget about insecurities, when the day fades away, just focus in falling in love and they will be there. Happily married, Michael and Vivienne

taken care of and supported. Our engagement photos were so fun to take! They made us feel comfortable and confident the whole photo shoot! On our wedding day, Sam and Sola were calm and collected- which is what a busy bride and groom need the day of their wedding! They were able to instruct the wedding party and our families so well for our photos and capture the love and true happiness of our wedding day! When we received our wedding photos, we were so amazed at the quality and the moments they were able to share with us and let us keep forever. My husband and I are so blessed to have found this amazing couple- their partnership and talent are truly inspiring! Not only has their talent touched our hearts, but our families and friends as well! When other couples are looking for wedding/engagement photographers, Sam and Sola are ALWAYS the photographers were recommend! - Sam and Makalah Whitten❤️

o where I met my husband, so the pairing was meant to be!) I knew then that we had an instant connection with them both and just loved their energetic vibes. Our wedding day was completely unforgettable. They captured our wedding beautifully and we have these gorgeous photos to cherish forever! Sam also did the videography and I’m still swooning from all of it, like WOW. Perfect talented DUO in photography & videography. They’re sooo AMAZING that they’re also shooting my sister’s wedding next year and I couldn’t be happier! Only the best. How lucky are we that we get to see these two again!! It’s a family affair! Thank you both for your love & making our day even that more special.

ured our special day perfectly. From the bottom of our heart, thank you so so much Sam and Sola, we are very so grateful for you both.

found them similar to what you are doing now, on social media. We were previewing and looking for a photographer who took great pride in their work and had results to show it. After reviewing their portfolio online and through social media, we knew they had the perfect eye to capture every special moment that we would encounter. We were not disappointed. Quickly after meeting with them, we soon became close friends. Aside from the great new friendship, they were very professional and you could just tell they loved what they do. SS are so in tune with one another, they have the keenest eyes for the best shots. What did we buy? We went with the Wedding Package III + Adventure Engagement Package. BEST decision ever. I don’t know how anyone can get less hours or go without the bundles. What did we think? After going through the walkthrough of how we wanted our wedding and engagement, we all decided that those packages fit exactly the need of what we were looking for. We were getting married remotely, in Thailand, so the whole venue and party was dedicated for the whole day. We were able to get 1300+ photos in from getting ready in the morning, saying “I do”, and even shaking our butts late at night. Throughout the special day, they were extremely helpful and were masterful with their selection in areas to photograph. We didn’t have to spend anytime scoping out where to go or take care of any of the work besides just… being there. SS did everything for us the day and the day of the wedding. They were also so respectful to our friends and family. I CANNOT ask for a better duo! They were completely professional and went above and beyond what average photographers would give. After getting all of our images of the special night, I would’ve paid them more for it. THEY WERE FREAK’N AMAZING. You will truly NOT REGRET. We LOVE reliving those magical moments looking throughout photos! That day was such a blur for us and the photos was a great reminder of the love we have surrounding us. Would you recommend them? I would recommend them to my brothers, sisters, mother, father, friends, cousins, grandparents (would be weird if they all had to get remarried), but really, I would recommend them to any and everyone. Why wouldn’t you? I mean, my wife has shot with many photographers in the past for her job and SS are the best wedding photographers. You only get married once. Don’t cheap out and go for novices in the profession, this is the only lasting memory of your special night. If you are going to cheap out, just ask your friend or sisters to take it for you, because your photos will look the same as someone who are not creative or as experience as SS. SS will only over deliver the best of their work and you will thank me.

els we aren't during our engagement shoot and their associates who covered our wedding were so great. We have some really amazing photos to remember our special day with thanks to the whole team! Definitely recommend using Sam and Sola if you're looking for a photographer!

ere in Washington. Not only are they amazingly loving people (who truly love everyone) but they always keep you laughing. Words cannot express how incredibly gifted and perfectly placed these two are. After receiving our album we were so blown away by how much the photos showed us - it didn't feel like a posey shoot - it felt natural and fun. If we could give them more stars we would!! HIGHLY recommended reaching out to work with these sweet friends!! Definitely the kind of people you will meet and want to be friends with instantly!! 💛💛💛

was so worried that I was going to be disappointed with my photos. Turns out, I did NOT have to worry at ALL! We had mentioned to Sam and Sola that we definitely needed some direction because we both felt slightly awkward in front of the camera and they both made us feel extremely comfortable. They definitely provided direction but took our photos in a way that didn't feel overly posed and unnatural. We received sneak peeks just a few days after the engagement shoot and the wedding and the turnaround time for the rest of the photos was fast as well! It goes without saying that we absolutely LOVED our photos and it turns out that Sam and Sola are magicians or something because we somehow looked like a much better version of ourselves hahah Thank you both so much <3

ng your big day while still having fun. From the moment I found them on Instagram, I knew they had to be our photographers. We met up with them and booked them on the spot because of how loving and REAL they were, not only as a vendor but as a married couple. They were so easy going and friendly that if we met outside of this meeting, I’m sure we can talk for hours! I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are of the pictures they provided for us and the everlasting friendship we have gained from this. 10/10 recommend!

nce to book them then you are truly so lucky and it will be one of the best decisions you could have made for your wedding!

lly awkward while taking photos, the two of them made me feel at ease and natural. Having them be a part of our wedding was such a privilege, and we LOVED how our photos turned out. Their editing style is consistent, and beautiful!

henever one of my couples asks for a photographer recommendation for their wedding needs, I always have Sam and Sola on my list because of their expertise, hard work, and caring nature. Not to mention - they are the best and biggest hype people I know on a wedding day. They are able to make the shy-est of couples comfortable in front of the camera so that those genuine and candid shots come through. It is hard to be able to create a comfortable space to allow that! Sam and Sola are able to capture the small, quiet moments as well as the big events in the wedding day so you can confidently say that you're re-living your wedding day when you go through your photos. All-in-all, if you are looking for wedding photographers who care, are fun, and are trusting, Sam and Sola are your people!

usiness on the foundations of their beliefs, priding themselves on serving couples with that in mind”. Despite their website noting they “absolutely love capturing the love and emotion” in “every couple”, their actions definitely spoke louder than these last words. What a sore disappointment and slap in me and my partner’s face. Please keep this mentality of theirs in mind when deciding whether or not you can support and condone this behavior. Shame on Sam and Sola Lee.

to finish! Most importantly, we felt comfortable and they understood our vision. Not only are they beyond talented, but they are super cool and a blast to be around!!! We love you guys!

while also being professional consultants to help guide us throughout the day. Did I also mention that they're small business owners and just complete hustlers? I mean, they are willing to WORK for their clients and do whatever it takes to capture those moments that are often overlooked.

groom were always happy!! They were so fun to work with because they literally treat you like they have know you for years and years! Not to mention they are SO TALENTED!!!!! We have only seen a few pictures so far but oh my goodness!!!! They are perfect!! You need Sam and Sola for your wedding or engagement photos!!

soon as the female customer left, my husband approached them. =))) it was pretty funny. After I saw their portfolio, I told my husband I want them to take my wedding photos. Their style is kinda vintage, elegant, romantic looking. Very nice! We booked the engagement photo + wedding photos totaling 10 hours. We were their 14 couples or sth. They just started their business at that time so my husband really wanted to support new business. Sam and Sola didn’t let us down, super responsive to our texts, very cute couple, very funny and pleasant to talk to. Their photos turned out amazing. Like magazine type. My wedding photos were phenomenal, literally it was so good. I was like wow... when I see my wedding photos. And I feel like we paid the price of 2 for 1 because we had husband and wife taking pics for us, one from close up angle and one far angle. I had a lot of shitty things happening to me on my wedding and they were the one of the ppl that cheered me up, distracted me from the shitty things and helped keep me rolling througout til the end of the night. My matron of honor really likes Sola. Haha. She kept telling me “it’s amazing they just went around taking pics of people and things. Did you tell them in advanced what to take picture of?” i said “no, they just somehow know. I didn’t have to tell them much. They’re pretty good at what they’re doing.” They really know how to capture us from the best angle, they would tell me to pose certain pose but most of the time, during my wedding they just took pic at the moment. There was no staging. This is a very young couple (early and late 20s) for their field and their work was super professionally done and magazine like quality. I really admire them and their work. Check out their instagram and website. If their style fits your style, I say go for it!

ion. You won’t regret working with Sam and Sola!
