Connie Leal Photography

When I met Connie at a Bridal fair and spoke to her for the first time, I knew instantly that I wanted to work with her. She is collaborative, flexible, and creative with her shots and is also so personable and friendly. She was so quick and thorough with answering any questions we had throughout the entire process, from our amazing engagement shoot in SF to our wedding day in San Ramon. Her photography really captured our love for one another, which is the most important thing at the end of the day and she went above and beyond for us to make sure we had all the shots that we wanted taken. She made us feel at ease on our big day and we could not have been happier with how all of our photos turned out!

Connie was easy to work with and down to earth. She traveled all the way from Brentwood to Pacifica for our engagement photos and to Fremont for our wedding (and post wedding photos at the Care Home where my husband’s mother is at).

Because I am not a natural in front of the camera, I was concerned it would be kind of hopeless. But fear not, she was so creative in directing the posing and with nice variety, that you couldn’t tell at all!

We were so thrilled with how the photos turned out, pricelessly capturing moments to be remembered, facial expressions and movement. The quality of work we saw on her website was true to how our finished product was. I must say, we were incredibly amazed at Connie’s use of light. Truly an artist, and she loves what she does. The photo box was way nicer and elevated than I imagined, with a beautiful photo on the front and one on the back.

Her work is exceptional, standing out above the others, and would like to let everyone discover this treasure like we did!

I cannot stop raving about Connie! An absolute gem of a find, I’m still getting compliments from guests about save the dates I sent out over a year ago using one of our engagement photos. She listened to what we wanted, but also is so creative and came up with great ideas, took the time to really get to know us, and coached us through the engagement session/made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. By the time our wedding rolled around, we were so grateful we had already worked with Connie – it felt like hanging out with a good friend on our wedding day! Prices are very reasonable for the Bay Area, but don’t be fooled – you are NOT compromising on quality!

The whole wedding planning process is so stressful. Making sure you find the right vendors is important. Connie was really great to work with. She worked with my budget, took time to talk with me about any concerns and ideas. The day of the wedding she was there on time and ready take pictures. She delivered a great package of photos. I am trying to plan a family photo shoot and will probably have her shoot that as well .

Connie recently did the photography for our wedding in Berkeley and was so wonderful to work with!! She has such a great eye and took SO many amazing photos that we got to re-live the whole day again when we got the pictures back. She is very reasonably priced and even did our engagement photos for free when we booked our wedding with her. Connie is so much fun to work with and so talented! We highly recommend her! Thank you for everything Connie!!!

We are absolutely thrilled with the services provided by Connie Photography for our wedding. Connie and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. The photos are stunning, capturing the essence of our special day beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the results and wholeheartedly recommend her for any event. Thank you, Connie, for making our wedding memories so extraordinary!

I don't consider myself very photogenic but after seeing the wedding photos Connie took I feel like a model! She is extremely nice and professional.
She gave clear directions of what to do and where to look for elegant posses that felt natural. My husband and I both agree Connie was the best wedding decision we made! Her and her colleague took plenty of photos and gave us the best. It was hard to choose 80 of our favorites because we love so many. We have large families and she managed to capture everyone by being everywhere throughout the entire day. She got our best angles and captured all the special little moments too.
I am so grateful for such quality photos at a fair price! Oh and photos came with quick turnaround which is an added bonus!!! I can not recommend her enough.

Connie is very friendly, fun and most of all a fantastic photographer. Connie photographed my son’s wedding and I love all the beautiful moments she captured. Here work is absolutely gorgeous!

Connie was great; she kept me calm. My "photo-hating" family even commented that she made them feel comfortable. Connie had great communication with us before and after the wedding. Our photos were returned quickly and it was a super experience.

Connie has been nothing but amazing. She was referred to us by our venue and when we met her, she just felt right for us. She was easy to talk to and very communicative. My husband and I aren’t one to get photos taken of us, so she made us very comfortable and she had captured the most beautiful moments during our wedding. All the photos turned out amazing that it’s hard to choose which is our favorites! Highly recommend her.
