Spectacular photographer

Writing this is so difficult because there's just so much to say about Leah. She is amazing and professional and obviously cares so so so much about each couple she works for. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable taking photos, even when it was raining and cold and otherwise slightly miserable outside. She captured amazing candid photos and it never felt like a chore doing the posed ones. She's friendly and nice and saw that I was feeling overwhelmed during a particularly busy moment of the night and advocated for me to get a break. Her photos are breathtaking and she works so hard it felt like she was in a thousand different places at once but it never felt like she was in the way or out of place. The teasers I got back have blown away every single person who has seen them and they're so amazing I want to print every single one and tape them to every surface of my home so I can look at them constantly. I have included my favorite shot from the night but I could have chosen any one of them to showcase. Honestly, my wedding wouldn't have been as magical without her.

If you want more than a photographer on your wedding... HIRE Leah!

My expectations for Leah's photography were already high - considering she came highly recommended from fellow brides. And still, Leah's passion and talent for wedding photography blew me away from start to finish!

I may be a *little* biased since Leah is an old college friend... but I'm confident any bride will become fast friends with Leah and genuinely trust her to capture every precious moment. Her positivity, creativity, and professionalism truly shined on our wedding day!

What I didn't expect I needed as a bride was the support I got from Leah on the day of the wedding. Your photographer is spending every intimate moment with you and your partner. Leah makes you feel safe and beautiful and exudes joy for your love!

Now, for the photos... it's hard to put into words! Leah and her team were like flies on the wall. Somehow capturing every candor and precious moment. Leah's editing prowess is what sets her apart! The photos appear hardly edited, but the quality and intention behind every picture reveals her advanced skills as a photographer. I was amazed at the number of photos we received from the teasers to the full gallery. I was SOOO happy with how every detail and moment was captured!

Lastly, Leah went above and beyond for us as a couple in ways we never expected. After losing our dear friend, Jack, who was in the wedding, Leah developed a special album with numerous photos of him. She gave us and our community a priceless gift to relive these cherished moments with Jack.

PS: Shoutout to Leah's second photographer who excelled as a professional and a bonus hype woman for the bride! I fully trust anyone on Leah's team :)
