About Chua Lee
Capturing forever connections
began with a single-use camera.
Growing up, I was the girl who brought the disposable Kodak to the party, then begged my parents to take me to Walmart so I could see who and what I’d captured on film.
The extraordinary. The everyday. The simple act of just being together. Of all the forms beauty takes, human connection is at the top of my list. That’s a perspective I’ve carried for as long as I can remember, and it continues to guide my work as a wedding photographer today.
Like you, I have a story with so many layers.
Some can be spotted at first glance. Others have influenced my point of view from under the surface. Like an intrinsic appreciation for relationships that drew my focus from lifestyle shoots exclusively to weddings. Or my childhood in Alaska, which taught me to see nature as
a place of solace and freedom, and gave me permission to simply notice without the expectation to do or be anything else. Memories of those mountains are the reason I’ve intentionally built my destination wedding portfolio in Colorado over the years.
Life and love and people are nuanced. My work is too. Starting with the first wedding I photographed in 2017, my aim has been to tell the whole story: styled details, unfiltered candids, composed portraits, unchecked emotions. Because when every layer is represented, your gallery will always reflect the way your experience felt.

“Chua was
the best investment”
“Chua was the best investment”
“Chua was the best investment we made on our wedding day. Those pictures will last us a lifetime and they were stunning. Not to mention how well she orchestrated the day and executed the schedule so that we could relax and focus on each other.”
Meg & Tien | The Olana, Dallas, Texas
“She was absolutely worth it"
Tracy & Stephen | Havenstone Reserve, Dallas, Texas
“I knew I wanted her to be my wedding photographer even before I met my husband! It was incredible watching her work transform throughout the years, so when it was finally my turn at the altar, she was my very first vendor I reached out to. Everyone told me that photography is the one thing you should always splurge on since it’s the one thing that memorializes your wedding day, and she was absolutely worth it. I can’t explain the incredible warmth I feel every time I look at our photos.”
“She exceeded every expectation”
Shannon & Evan | The Nest at Ruth Farms, Dallas, Texas
“As someone who is typically a little camera shy, she does such a wonderful job helping you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Upon meeting her she instantly connects with you and makes you feel like a friend you’ve known forever! She did an amazing job coordinating everyone on the big day to keep things flowing as seamlessly as possible. She exceeded every expectation we had and I’m so thankful to have been given the opportunity to know and work with her!”
Biggest accomplishment
Growing alongside my daughter, Emeri, advocating for Autism awareness, and soaking in newlywed life.
The place I’m always dreaming of
Aspen, Colorado. I could photograph a million Colorado weddings and never get tired of seeing Maroon Bells in the background.
What I’m listening to
A steady rotation of podcasts covering all my favorite subjects: mental health, wellness, and business.
For those shaping celebrations with a distinct point of view
A tented wedding in Vail. An upscale venue in Dallas. A private estate in Napa Valley. No matter the location, the most remembered weddings are the ones that feel layered and personal, with a just-right balance of sophistication and sentiment. That’s exactly the feeling your gallery will preserve.
