We had the pleasure of having our engagement shoot, welcome party, and wedding day captured with Leah behind the lens and we could not be more thrilled with our decision! Leah is an unbelievably talented artist to her core. She has an innate propensity for storytelling and capturing a moment in time in such a beautiful way. Everything she does is truly heirloom quality.

We had a lengthy wishlist when it came to photography: we cared deeply about interesting architecture, space, and light, we wanted artistic and editorial-style portraits while also having candid family and guest moments captured, and we wanted the movement, ambiance, and emotion of our day to be captured through a photographic medium. Throughout my search, Leah’s work really jumped off the screen to me for all of those reasons. When I first chatted with her, I shared what my husband and I wanted our wedding to feel like and what the inspiration was for our vision. Wedding weekend finally arrived a full 19 months after our initial conversation, and Leah captured the feeling to perfection.

Throughout her planning process, Leah provided helpful questionnaires and other tools to really get the sense of our collective style as a couple and make sure she was aware of elements and moments most important to us on our wedding day. I had zero doubt in my mind when I woke up on our wedding day that Leah was going to cover everything we were looking for and then some, so I was able to completely let go of the mental timeline and be present with my loved ones. We had such peace of mind knowing we were in the best hands because she really knew and understood us. She brought such a warm and welcoming energy to our day.

We knew Leah was a savvy veteran but her depth of experience really shined the day of. She is masterful at directing shots, creating beautiful ideas on the fly, and on top of her artistry, is incredibly organized and intentional. We finished pre-ceremony family and couple portraits with 20+ minutes left to spare (when does that ever happen on a wedding day?!) so we were able to shoot additional locations pre-ceremony and most importantly, relax and enjoy each other.

When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away. Leah’s intuition as an artist is unmatched. She cultivated the perfect blend of artful portraits and candid moments. She somehow captured the intangible emotions and ambiance we felt in the room - our photos feel very much alive. Our guests were also so lovingly captured and we had so much fun sharing those shots with them. She didn’t miss a single element that we had shared was important to us. It was nearly impossible to choose favorites to print and share. Her work is truly art, worthy of being framed and hung all over our home. We will treasure these photos forever!

Leah Hewitt is simply extraordinary! She was our wedding photographer for our special day, and we couldn’t have asked for a more talented, professional, and personable artist to capture such meaningful moments. From start to finish, Leah went above and beyond, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.

Our wedding reception took place in the stunning Baltimore Museum of Art, utilizing both the Fox Court and the Antioch Court. These spaces are gorgeous in their own right, but Leah’s photography truly brought them to life. She expertly captured the beauty of the venue, ensuring every detail—like the warm lighting, intricate architecture, and overall atmosphere—was preserved in her photos. Her ability to highlight not just the space, but also the love and joy of the event, is remarkable.

Leah didn’t just photograph the reception. She followed us earlier in the day at our home, where everyone was getting ready. Those candid moments—our family and friends bustling about, the hair stylist and makeup artist working their magic, and the quiet, happy anticipation in the air—were all perfectly documented. Every time we look at these photos, we’re transported back to the laughter, excitement, and warmth of that morning.

One of the standout aspects of Leah’s work is her ability to balance posed and candid photography so beautifully. On the front steps of the museum, she directed us and our family members with ease and grace, ensuring everyone looked their best while also keeping the mood relaxed and joyful. At the same time, she had an uncanny knack for capturing those fleeting, unscripted moments: the laughter between friends, the tears of joy, and the way our adult children and their partners connected with each other and with us throughout the day.

The final collection of photos is nothing short of a treasure. Leah’s work isn’t just photography—it’s storytelling. Looking at the pictures, we’re reminded not only of the major events of the day but also of the smaller, quieter moments that made it so special. From the love and closeness of our family to the joy and celebration among our guests, Leah managed to encapsulate it all.

Beyond her technical skill, Leah is a pleasure to work with. She’s incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to detail. She listened to what we wanted and also brought her own creative vision, which elevated the entire experience. She has an easygoing, friendly demeanor that made everyone feel comfortable, which is so important on a day that can feel hectic and emotional.

We’re so grateful to have worked with Leah Hewitt. Her photos will forever remind us of the love, happiness, and togetherness we felt on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also a joy to have by your side on your big day, Leah is the one. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants their special moments captured in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible.

Thank you, Leah, for giving us these incredible memories to cherish forever!

Leah and her team are absolutely incredible! The photos they produce are immaculate. This is due to not only their immense talent at photography but also their ability to make their subjects feel completely at ease. I am so happy we decided to hire Leah and her team because the photos we received are beyond our wildest dreams and Leah's assistance throughout our engagement and on the wedding day allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves without reservation. Thank you again Leah and your whole team!

Don't look any further for your photographer - just book Leah! She is exceptional. She is friendly, easy to work with, and made our engagement photos and wedding day fun and relaxing. She is an artist - we love our formal photos, and her candid photos of our family and guests are truly magical and look like they could be in a magazine or art gallery. We could not have asked for more with the experience or the photos we will treasure forever.

There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing it was working with Leah for our engagement session and our wedding reception. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a personable and customized photography experience! Thanks Leah :)

Unreal is the only way I can describe our engagement and wedding photos. We chose Leah because she immediately put us at ease (via Skype-- no less!) with her professionalism and friendliness. She was the first and best decision we made in the planning process. Leah made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, while also gently directing us. She also somehow made our dog look good in every photo. My many questions were met with a prompt and calming response. As many others have shared, her photos are a work of art. She has the perfect blend of creativity and artistry, while also giving you some of the 'traditional' wedding photos your parents and grandparents expect. We can't thank Leah enough for her work, vision, and expertise which shines through in each of our photos.

The photographer. When Devon and I first started planning our wedding, we both agreed that the most important part of the celebration was the photographer. The often repeated saying of "your wedding day will go by in the blink of an eye" was a cliche we fully believed. And if that day was going to be a blur, we would need an epic photographer who would help us remember our wedding for years to come.

Enter Leah. I searched high and low for Leah. I didn't just want a photographer. I wanted an artist. I wanted a piece I could hang on our living room wall that would stop people in their tracks, draw them into the scene, and then leave them saying "wow that's you guys." Leah is an artist. She has an eye for beauty and originality that is profound. When we first spoke on the phone, I told her that the most beautiful thing to me about weddings is the overwhelming wave of joy and love. I wanted our wedding pictures to show the faces and interactions of our friends and family. I could not believe what she captured for us. A picture of me and my brother cracking jokes in a side garden. My parents beaming at each other during cocktail hour. My new husband and I rap battling on the dance floor. The tenderness and humanity of what she captured in our photo album is nothing short of extraordinary. Her work 100% speaks for itself, but the experience of working with Leah goes far beyond the masterpieces she creates.

I don't like being the center of attention. I don't even really like having my picture taken. I get nervous and stressed when I feel like I'm running behind schedule or, you know, 120 pairs of eyes are all on me at once. Leah is incredibly calming and soothing. She reads your mood, helps you fix your eyeliner, makes a hilarious joke, and then helps you take some deep breaths. I felt so lucky to have her around.

TLDR: HIRE THIS WOMAN. SHE WAS OUR BEST VENDOR BY FAR AND EXCEEDED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS.

Leah photographed our wedding in May 2018. Honestly, the experience could not have gone better! She was lovely to work with and had that perfect balance of professionalism (her skill and expertise is apparent from the start) and friendliness (we had a great time talking to her and dancing with her at the wedding)! Most importantly, the pictures were beyond stunning. She did an incredible job of assessing our preferences and giving us exactly what we were looking for. Everything from the formal photos, to the paparazzi style candids could not have been better! Leah, thank you so much for your stunning work. Go out and book L Hewitt!!

BEST photographer/artist in the world!!!! highly recommend Leah!!!
Leah flew with us to Taiwan and Guam for pre-wedding shoot and also photoshoot the entire wedding day. This was back in 2014 but I am just as excited to share my experience still up to this day! Not only does her pictures captured all the precious moments but she's an amazing person to work with. She's very professional and loves to discuss your ideas with you and make it happen to the best she can. Excellent communication. She'll even throw in amazing ideas that's beyond my thoughts. Towards the end of the day, at some point we realized her feet wasn't feeling 100% but she was still thinking how to capture amazing pictures at the "magic moment" for us. On top of that, our wedding was in English, but a lot of events were in Mandarin during the reception. She's detail oriented and we had discussed the day and flow previously. She played her magic and had great interactions with our guests even tho there may be some language barrier at times. It goes without saying that her smiles and attitudes are infectious and beyond words!

I basically just trust her all the way. I had a lot of fun at the pre-wedding shoot and the day of the wedding. We even went into the water (not planned lol) and she came in with us!! Lots of sparks and surprises. She got it all for you. (side note: water accidentally got into one of her expensive equipment, but she kept her cool and was truly enjoying the moment with us!). We love the whole experience and having Leah as our photographer made the destination wedding so much fun. We felt like gaining a friend afterwards!

All the pictures turned out amazing and we still look at it often. Many were made to canvas on our walls!
I have been following Leah's work for years and it's just getting better and better...making me want to have another wedding all over again haha! I'd give her 10 stars if I can.

I decided that I wanted to work with Leah on my wedding before I was even engaged-- that's how much of a legend she is. While working for an event planner a few years out of college, I noticed Leah's work and promised myself that when it came time for me to get married...Leah would be a part of the equation. Fast-forward a few years and Leah was the 4th phone call I made after the proposal (after mom and dad of course!). In true Leah fashion she packed up her gear and met us in Paris for our engagement shoot two weeks after I contacted her. The images were some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Leah also did a boudoir shoot for me (gift for husband) and our rehearsal dinner and wedding in Sonoma. It's hard to articulate how much she means to us in a quick review-- but know that she exceeded every expectation we had and has become a lifelong confidant in the process. I have already asked her to shoot our upcoming maternity pictures and newborn shots because I know she will knock it out of the park again. She gets that you want something different. She gets that you can't explain what that is. I trust her to chronicle the rest of my life! Every second of our time together during wedding planning and other shoots was positive-- her energy is infectious and she captures moments that you don't even realize existed until you see them through her lens. She turned our images around in one week and made selecting a holiday card image near impossible. Leah is the most talented photographer I have ever seen and I feel so lucky to have worked with her. Hire her! You'll never look back.
