Testimonials
For my wedding, photography was very important to me. It was in my top 3. From just looking at her photos I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. Her pictures speak for themselves. What I didn’t know was how great of a person Leah is! My initial consult with her turned into an hour+ of talking about all the wedding details, personal stories, friends, family, etc. I totally trusted her and she helped me develop my timeline for the day, as well as recommend a florist based on what I told her I wanted. Needless to say, I went with that florist and my bouquets turned out perfect! For both the engagement session and our wedding, she had us laughing and made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. At our wedding, she was just on top of everything throughout the day. She arrived early, stayed late, made sure we got enough shots and even tracked down my videographer when they should have been with us getting footage for a great moment. My bridesmaids who were already married couldn’t believe how great she was. They hadn’t even seen any of the pictures yet! Leah was by far my favorite person to work with when it came to my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! I really felt like Leah cared about us, and we weren’t just another client. I am forever grateful to her for not only capturing our special day, but also for the positive experience we had with her during this special time in our lives. THANK YOU, Leah! I think you are beyond talented at your job, but an even more amazing person. Courtney & Mike
When it comes to wedding planning, there are about 10000000 choices to be made, and choosing Leah as our photographer was one of our best ! Not only is she a true artist who will beautifully captures all of the excitement of the day and of your love, but she is a true joy to be around. From our first meeting to our engagement session to the wedding and all the emails in between, Leah is easy to work with and supportive! She understood everything we wanted and executed beyond what we could even imagine: the photos are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I don't know how she was able to evoke such colors and warmth from our overcast, somewhat rainy day. We can't recommend enough including Leah in your day! Sarah & Tim
Leah was AMAZING! From the very first time that my husband and I met her, we knew that she would be the best photographer for our wedding. Leah answered all of my questions whenever I asked, and never failed to make us and our whole wedding party laugh. My husband doesn't love taking pictures, and she definitely made him feel comfortable so that we could get pictures that really reflected who we were as a couple. I will cherish the photos that we received from Leah forever. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Leah to anyone looking to get beautiful, genuine photos of their special day. Thank you so much for making us feel so special! Melissa & Troy
Leah was amazing to work with! We absolutely love our engagement and wedding photos, and couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Leah is incredibly personable and immediately put us at ease. My husband hates taking pictures, and she had him laughing and smiling the whole time! Leah truly captured authentic moments, and all of our 'poses' were natural. She had an amazing second photographer with her on our wedding day - she was equally as personable, which made 'getting through' photos on a 95+ degree day totally bearable and very fun! Leah is passionate about her work, and we could tell right away that she is personally invested in each client. Highly recommend! Claire & Nick
