Beautiful Pictures!

If you're looking for a top notch photographer who will give you excellent photos at a reasonable price, Mike Leonardi of Candidly Yours Photography is your guy. His photos are of the highest quality and are absolutely stunning. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and natural during our photo session. He was so friendly and conversational -- he had us cracking up almost the entire time! He was very helpful with pose recommendations, something that I was so grateful for because I tend to take awkward photos. It is so apparent that Mike has a talent for pictures and a passion for people. I will be using Candidly Yours for all of my photography needs in the future!

Mike Leonardi rocks!

Mike is an amazing photographer. When we started searching for a wedding photographer, it was a daunting task since we were planning everything long distance. After looking through his website, we knew Mike Leonardi would do a stellar job. Throughout the planning process, he was always easy to reach and we were able to plan an in-person meeting with no trouble. On the day of the wedding, some things did not go according to plan, and Mike, as well as our other vendors, took it in stride better than we did. Mike also provided great advice as far as poses, how to stage certain parts of the ceremony/reception, provided humor for us all during photos and prep, and was able to corral everyone in our families as needed. In addition to all of these extra positive notes, our photos also turned out to be incredible! We've never looked as photogenic as we did in those pictures. Thank you, Mike, for everything!

Mike was a pleasure to work with! He put up with numerous questions from me, and was always pleasant to talk to. He did our engagement and our wedding photos and was a joy both times. He kept us laughing and our smiles genuine while being completely professional. His work is gorgeous and captures the real life moments that I love. Any person with a camera can capture a posed picture, Mike finds a way to make an art out of beautifully capturing the candid. It was a pleasure to work with him and we plan on keeping him as our "go to" for future baby/family photos. Thank you so much for capturing our special day, Mike!! :)

Candidly Yours exceeded every expectation I had!!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike. From the moment he arrived at our hotel to the last dance of the night, he was truly a joy to work with. He is not only incredibly talented, but he made sure that everyone was relaxed and having fun the entire day. He is courteous, responsive, and professional. He managed to be everywhere to capture these sweet, candid moments without even knowing he was there. Photos are forever, and you only get one shot. Hiring Mike was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire wedding planning process.

Mike is AMAZING and is very personable. He will do anything for the bride and groom. His work is beautiful. He goes above and beyond to make you happy. He did my daughter's rehearsal dinner and wedding. Just got the rehearsal dinner pictures and from what I saw so far, I am not disappointed. Got a sneak peak at the wedding photos and can't wait to see more.
Thank you Mike for a fun time. You fit in like you were part of the bridal party.

Both my wife and I had not known any photography professionals so we had to start at ground zero. I don't fully recall how we met Mike but we were very pleased with the sales pitch and Mike was kind enough to include a free engagement shoot as a military discount. At our wedding mike was super nice and friendly. Our guests had a great time interacting with Mike and he did a great job helping calm my wife after our limo had side swiped a telephone pole. Mike had actually printed our coffee table book to use as an advertisement tool for himself so when our book was damaged nearly 2 years after the wedding, Mike gave us the 2nd copy. Since our wedding we have grown become good friends with Mike which was something we never expected from our vendor. If you are in the market for a photographer, Candidly Your's is the perfect choice.

Mike photographed my wedding and our first family photos with our one year old! He is probably the hardest working photographer I know!

He arrived to the wedding early and took photos of us girls getting ready, even though it wasn't part of our contract. He hustled around town with us to all of our destinations, and even picked out a few interesting places for us to take photos! My favorite wedding photo was completely unplanned as my husband and I walked into the sunlight in a shady area in front of him. It turned out to be a great silhouette shot! He also brought extra cameras on tripods and took multiple angles of the service. He made sure he took photos of everyone during the reception. It wasn't until the end of the evening, after some fantastic sparkler shots, that I found out he injured his foot the day before. He worked his butt off at the wedding and always engaged everyone with a smile!

For our first family photos, he was down in the dirt getting the best angles of the sunset behind my baby, who was playing on a blanket. It was an extremely hot day, and he ran all over the park with us! He even got my husband to smile, who hates posing for pictures.

Mike is worth every penny and really understands how to get the perfect shot, even with less than cooperative subjects! I recommend him to everyone I know and will hire his services many more times in the future!

Mike was our photographer for our wedding and my shower. He was awesome. He's very fairly priced; and very high quality. He offers a second shooter if you would like one as well. He edited in a very timely manner, too! -Kerry and Tony Ciotti
