    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
