“Where colour becomes emotion, and every frame is art made feeling”
Led by Sammy, who takes on the role of creative director for each wedding and tells each wedding through multiple elements of light, texture, palette, and the raw beauty of authentic moments. She captures them in every corner of the world from Okinawa, Japan to the coastal island off Portugal to New York, USA.
Her work lives at the intersection of documentary approach but with an editorial flair. Think intimate story telling: saturated tones, deliberate composition, and imagery that feels pulled from the pages of a visual narrative rather than a traditional wedding album. Color is her language — whether it's the warmth of golden hour, the moodiness of shadowed blues, or the softness of muted pastels, every palette is intentional, every frame artfully composed.
Erye.film works with couples who value the interplay of aesthetic depth and editorial sophistication — those who want their wedding photographed with the same intention as an artistic production.
This is photography for those who see their wedding as a visual work of art. Fashion-forward, color-rich, and unapologetically artistic.

So grateful!
Having worked in a film lab for 8 years, I can tell you this: Shooting a large amount of film professionally the way Sammy does(She does digital of course, but film holds a big portion compared to other photographer Ive encountered) Especially in unpredictable settings like weddings or outdoor, is not only physically tough, it also shows talent, confidence, and years of experience and practice to pull off this level of artistry consistently.
My job requires me to develop and scan every roll with precision. But when film is shot as spot-on as Sammy does, it still carries something dreamy, nostalgic, poetic, and unexpected. Something digital cameras can’t quite capture, and modern day editing can't fully mimic, not yet!
Thank you again Sammy for the incredible care you bring to the wedding. Your works gives us not just photos, but moments thats alive, timeless, and human. We’re so grateful to have you!

Everything I had dreamed of and more
We got Sammy to shoot our wedding back in July 2024. It was a no brainer for me from the beginning - I chanced upon her portfolio on Instagram a few years back and was instantly taken by how unique her style of wedding photography was, so spontaneous, candid, joyful, and above all, how much love she was able to capture in still images. At the time it seemed like a long shot to me - I knew she was mostly based in Hong Kong and occasionally Korea/Australia (from the geotags on her images) and our wedding was to be in Singapore. But after months of combing through local photographers and videographers I still found myself coming away dissatisfied; nothing quite came close to her artistic flair, the genuine emotion in her photographs, and how it all met at the interface of film/digital photography she was able to offer even whilst working solo (no mean feat).
So we decided to take the plunge and reach out to her, even whilst knowing it might be very hard to make things work. But to our happy surprise, she happened to be available, and even willing to fly down to Singapore just for our wedding! I was floored by her willingness to commit, but at the same time slightly apprehensive - since, being from abroad, no one I knew had worked with her personally.
My fears were happily unfounded. From the get-go Sammy was professional and approachable, highly responsive, taking the time to answer all my queries and concerns (regardless of how insignificant they were!) Furthermore she went above and beyond to get to know us as a couple, trying to understand our dynamic and our relationship, our story, so that she could more honestly capture it and bring it through in her photography. I particularly appreciated how she treated us more as friends rather than clients, allowing us to really open up to her and share our lives with her. She continued to be responsive throughout the months leading up to the wedding, assuaging all my anxiety and prior reservations.
My friends and family were especially impressed with how professional she was on the day itself - uncompromising in her standards, willing to do the uncomfortable just to get the right angles and shots. I was worried that I might feel awkward or uncomfortable posing for the camera, but she managed to make us feel comfortable with doing slightly more unfamiliar actions or poses so everything came really naturally!
And I haven’t even gotten to the photos yet! When we received them they were everything I had dreamed of and more. Her versatility and artistry as a photographer was clearly demonstrated across the wide range of emotions and moments she managed to capture - ranging from the quiet and intimate to the raucous and exuberant. As I went through the albums each image elicited the memories and emotions of our wedding day so poignantly, which, of course, is all I could’ve asked for in wedding photos! But beyond that - I was truly amazed by how she managed to portray each of my loved ones so earnestly and accurately, capturing moments that I myself had missed in the bustle of everything that was happening.
I often say that getting her to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we made throughout the process - and even now, more than half a year down the road, I still feel exactly the same way. Working with her was a breeze, having confidence of her professionalism and capabilities, and the results speak for themselves. I’m so glad that we decided to reach out to her despite the perceived barriers of being based in different countries (perhaps not perceived, haha, but we made it work!) - no regrets at all, and even now I have nothing but praises to sing of her and her work.
All this to say - if you’re thinking about hiring Sammy, take this as the message that you most definitely should!

The most amazing experience
My husband and I had the most amazing experience with Sammy. From our very first meeting through our wedding day, we were blown away by her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. On top of all that, she is just so darn cool!! We weren't used to having our photos taken, but she made us feel comfortable and gave us the direction we needed - it truly felt like a fun casual photoshoot with a friend. Sammy went above and beyond during our shoot, especially when she went barefoot into a pool of water to capture the perfect shot! The photos turned out beautiful and far beyond our expectations. We cannot recommend Sammy enough and would without a doubt choose her as our photographer again if the opportunity ever comes up. Thank you Sammy for capturing our special day so beautifully - memories that we can now relive for a lifetime
