    Incredible photographers and people

    We had a hard time finding wedding photographers that we were excited about, until we saw Leo and Kat's photos. Our wedding coordinator recommended them and we are so glad she did. Kat and Leo are incredibly talented photographers and they were such a joy to work with. They really captured us and our loved ones and the whole event.

    My then-boyfriend and I met Leo and Kat while attending a friend's wedding in California. We were so impressed by their work that we sought them out to shoot our own wedding in New York City. In NYC, there's an abundance of talented photographers locally that we could have hired but there was something very, very special about Leo and Kat. They are just genuinely good people and amazing individuals. They exude a very caring and calming warmth with a personal and friendly touch. They executed their talented craft professionally and playfully. They were so much fun to be around. We miss them, actually!
    They captured our wedding day, the details, the feeling and everything so beautifully. We absolutely LOVED our time with them, our amazing photos and will cherish these memories for a lifetime!

    We feel so blessed that you both came across country to capture our day!!
    Thank you so much for everything, Leo & Kat!
    We love ya'll!!! - Jessica & Tony 11.22.15 NYC

    My husband and I wanted a photographer that would capture our elopement in a way that really non-invasive, kept the day feeling very personal, and were beautiful enough to share with our family and friends!

    We were thrilled with the service we received. Leo was our photographer and he made us feel instantly relaxed. He was able to capture who we are as a couple and the photos are so special to us.

    We loved working with Leo and Kat. They did such a great job capturing the feeling from the wedding! It was pretty amazing to see so many photos from all different angles. We couldn't wait to share the link with family and friends when we saw the final product.

    It was great having LEP document our wedding weekend, and it was such a pleasure working with Leo and Kat leading up to the wedding as well. We super appreciated their flexibility by accommodating our needs -- they worked out the schedule to make sure Leo was there to capture our pre-wedding Nepali celebrations. Having LEP take care of our needs made us feel like we didn't need to stress at all. We totally enjoyed working with LEP and absolutely love our photos!

    PS: You HAVE to get the photobooth (that Leo himself built!). That was such a hit!

    Leo Evidente Photographers were fantastic in capturing the look and feel of our wedding. Leo and Kat were masterful in the execution of their task to memorialize our event in a professional fashion. The attention to detail was top notch whether it was the experience of discussing our event and what we wanted captured to the packaging and delivery of our final product. They took care of the photography and of us throughout the process. They were the only photographers in the area that didn’t balk at our budget or concept and instead took it as a creative challenge. Leo and Kat demonstrated time and again their understanding of the tools and conditions needed to have a good photographic experience for our event. Whether it was discussion of the aperture to use or the lighting and angle of the light at the different times of the day, they paid attention to our needs and desired outcome. Leo was excellent at handling our guests during our staged photo session where Leo Evidente Photographers, actually were a part of the activities of the day. Kat made sure that the event was captured in its entirety with special detail to our guests, activities and decorations. Our guests and everyone who has seen our photographs have commented at the quality and artistry of the pictures made. The biggest compliment I have heard about our pictures, is that they are not just about the day, but somehow capture the relationships of everyone at the wedding and thus that story will be viewed over and over again and not just put away in an album.

    Leo & Kat were amazing. I worked closely with Kat on the details and logistics for my wedding in October 2013. They are definitely easy going, creative, and so very understanding. I definitely wasn't the easiest bride to please because there were so many details I wanted captured and they got 99 % of them. It was my fault for not making the list of things "I want captured" like she asked me to. My recommendation for you is to make sure you have that list!

    So, since we had about 300 people at our wedding, we didn't get photos with each one -- but their photobooth allowed for sooo many photos that I loved! Thanks Leo & Kat!

    We had a small, non traditional wedding and wanted a photographer who could capture the magical moments of family and friends celebrating. Leo and Kat did just that! We shared with them our vision in advance and they delivered beautifully!

    From Mimi + Alan: We had the most amazing time working with Kat and Leo for our wedding. I'm obsessed with them and will be hiring them for other life moments. Pre- During- and Post wedding experience = fantastic. The quality is high and their passion runs deep. The craftsmanship Kat and Leo put into their work is admirable. I fell in love with them instantly when I was interviewing for photographers. We had a destination wedding at Dos Pueblos Ranch (we're from NYC). I had a journalistic style in mind. It was important for us to find photographers that brought a natural, real, and rawness look to their work. They made our wedding and after party experience the best ever. Guests couldn't get over the after party LionBooth they set up for us! Thank you Kat and Leo for everything. We heart you guys and can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

    My wife and I can't praise Leo and Kat Evidente Photography services highly enough! From their aesthetic to their attention to detail to their sensitivity to the stress of a wedding to their professionalism and follow-through, they truly exceeded all of our hopes and needs for service. We look forward to working with them again and recommending them whenever possible!! Thanks Leo and Kat!!

    Leo and Kat are an incredible team. They are both extremely talented with an artistic perspective on photography. They are professional, honest, and organized. They communicated well and in a timely manner. They followed our timelines and accomplished everything that we asked for. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or event.

    We have only great things to say about Kat and Leo! They are two of the nicest people, and we couldn't have asked for a better photography team to capture the moments from such a special day. When we were looking for a photographer, we really just wanted to find someone with a unique eye. We looked at the engagement shoots they had done and figured that for what we were looking for, the only difference between an engagement shoot and a wedding shoot was the clothes. So we took a chance, and we are so happy that we did! Our wedding location was very dramatic and didn't have much in terms of lighting, so we were so lucky to have photographers who were creative and could work with the natural light to give us some amazing photos. In the end, our photos ended up unique and different, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Kat and Leo were a great team and really worked well together. They really took an interest in what our wants and expectations were. We met with them on multiple occasions and were in contact through emails and phone calls up until the wedding. We always felt confident that we never had to worry about our wedding photography. Our wedding was very intimate, only 19 guests. Kat and Leo were very discrete to the point that we truly didn't even know they were there. It was a pleasure working with them, and we would highly recommend Leo Evidente Photographers to any couple looking for a photographer for any occasion. We definitely hope to use them in the future ourselves.

    I had the pleasure of doing a fashion photo shoot with Kat & Leo last year, and it was an enjoyable, comfortable, and creative experience! I had done a few different photo shoots with different photographers at that time, but Kat & Leo's work truly blew me away! The photographs turned out beautiful and had such a unique style. Kat & Leo really took the time to get to know me and the look/feel I was going for even before our photo shoot. They thought out the location and props very well and even went location-scouting in advance and sent me pictures of different options. Kat & Leo are also such a sweet couple to shoot with - their energy is amazing and they make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I'll definitely be in touch again for photos - they are always able to capture the moment perfectly.

    Leo and Kat are awesome in every way... they are kind, warm, flexible, affordable, and most of all... great photographers! We are THRILLED with our wedding photos, Leo and Kat were a joy to work with, and we hardly even noticed they were taking pictures (despite having a very small wedding). They also managed to take some great pictures of us, despite the fact that we are very photogenic!

    We wholeheartedly recommend Leo and Kat!

    We had a wonderful experience with Kat and Leo. Right off the bat, they felt like friends who were there to photograph us, not people that we hired. They made us feel comfortable and we loved the photos of the whole day. Our video was to die for and we still get compliments on how beautiful our video was and how well it captured the love and reverie of the evening.

    Beware- they will steal your money. No photos, no email/phone responses

    I'm a wedding planner and my clients hired Kat & Leo to shoot their wedding in April 2019. According to the contract the turnaround time was 10 weeks. It's now been 12 weeks and my clients still have not received their photos, not even a sneak peek like what most photogs send a week after the wedding. I managed to get Kat on the phone 2 weeks ago and she said it had only been 9 weeks so they still had time to finish them. She finally emailed my client that day (after ghosting them for several weeks) to let her know she would send them within 7 days... and I'm here to tell you that it's now been two weeks since that message and NOTHING. I tried calling today but was sent to voicemail. Their communication is terrible and the level of professionalism is subpar. As a wedding professional myself, I don't understand how a business can take a client's money and not perform the services they were paid to perform, and on top of that ignore phone calls and emails. They are in breach of contract now so our next steps will be seeking legal action. If there was a family emergency or something that happened it would be understandable but they haven't communicated anything to myself or my clients. BEWARE OF THE GATHERING SEASON... there are so many other photographers that will actually take beautiful photos and send them to you in a timely fashion as stated in your contract. Sadly, that is not Kat and Leo.
