Leah Casts Effortless Magic

The best thing my husband has done was ask me to marry him. The second best thing he's done was hiring Leah as our engagement and wedding photographer.

My husband loathes having his photo taken - he feels awkward, struggles to smile naturally, hates to pose. I'm a camera fan, but I also have anxiety, and I knew on our wedding day especially, I didn't want to worry about ensuring we got the "perfect" shot. We needed a photographer who would make us forget the camera was even there while still capturing all the beauty and joy of the moment. Leah gave us that and more.

Leah, first of all, is such a lovely person. She is funny and kind and instantly puts you at ease. She takes you as you are and meets you where you need her to be.

Secondly, Leah has an innate ability to capture the essence of the people in front of her lens. When we showed our photos to friends and family, the continuous theme in their reactions was - "Wow, these are so YOU!" Leah captured everything about our love that is light and joyful and bright and portrayed them in the best way. Her photos are more than we knew how to ask for and exactly what we could have hoped for.

And it isn't just us she captured perfectly - her photos also captured every bit of the magic and love we felt on our wedding day and all of the love and joy we share with our family and friends. I'm sure it's evident in the photos I've included - they practically glow. We feel like we're being hugged with every picture.

Don't sleep on Leah - I promise you won't regret it! She is worth every cent and honestly I would pay her a million bajillion dollars if I could. Our photos are priceless and we'll treasure them forever.

We loved working with Leah

Leah was wonderful! I chose her for our wedding photos after looking through her portfolio where I felt that she was able to truly capture the candid feeling of a moment. First - she did not disappoint and looking through our photos is a joy. Second - she was so fun! I wish we could be friends because she made us feel so comfortable and at ease and we shared some genuine laughs with her.

She is Above and Beyond

My husband and I were initially drawn to Leah because her gallery is cinematic, we truly felt like we were watching a film looking at her work. After meeting her for our engagement session, we were blown out of the water by her. Her kindness, humor, and ability to make us feel comfortable quickly was a pleasant surprise (my husband HATES photos and actually enjoyed himself). To her core, she is a good person. Very personable and we enjoyed hearing about her family and beautiful wife, it made our experience with her feel intimate, like she actually cared how our love story was portrayed. Our budget changed a couple of times and Leah happily worked with us to adjust services. On our big day (which was actually spread across 3 days), she was prompt, on time, and with a smile on her face. For us, it was above and beyond that she also protected our energy, gave us time to breath, diffused nerves/stress, and reminded us what the day was really about when needed. If there were specific photos we wanted, she made sure the shots were taken, even if it was minute or seemingly insignificant. She sees details that are important to you. We got several compliments regarding how lovely she was after interacting with guests. When our photos came back (at world record speed), I cried on the couch because all the emotions of those days and the joy came rushing back. I felt like I was there all over again. My husband, who really dislikes himself in photos, LOVED our gallery. Additionally, she captures all skin tones in the most beautiful way, we were extremely delighted to see this for our blended families. I am crying now writing this review. I could go on forever. I do not know how to thank her fully and words will fall short, but I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone and everyone who is in need of a photographer. Thank you, Leah, from the bottom of our hearts!!

Leah is an absolute dream - we are eternally grateful!

From the first interaction I had with Leah, I knew she was someone special. She's kind, witty, creative, thoughtful, and just a lovely human being. And that's before we even get to her photography skills! Which are... UNREAL.

As I told her upon viewing the gallery, she absolutely captured the spirit of the day and our spirit as a couple. The photos are just perfect. They're joyful, meaningful, loving, fun, and also capture the layers of emotion we experienced throughout the day -- from light and airy to deep and complex. I genuinely can't stop looking through them all.

On the actual day, Leah was suuuuuuuch a joy! She made everything feel easy (very helpful for folks who aren't often posing for photos) and so much fun. She made us laugh, gave us guidance, and made sure we were able to enjoy the festivities. More than anything, we left feeling like we made a new friend -- which is beyond what we could have imagined.

We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives, and can't wait to work with Leah again for some future family photos!

In case my review didn't make this clear: you won't regret bringing Leah in to capture your special day.

the greatest to ever do it

Where to even begin? I knew I wanted to hire Leah over 10 years ago when my best friend was looking for a wedding photographer (Leah was already booked because she's simply the greatest to ever do it & she's in high demand). I love the way Leah captures emotion & sees people. Actually getting to hire her was a dream - she sets clear expectations, explains things well, gives you plenty of time to prepare, & goes above & beyond to get you ready for your day. It was so meaningful for us to hire a queer woman to photograph our lesbian wedding. She blended right into our group of friends, seamlessly capturing big moments & creating small ones just for us that will now live in our memories forever. We felt so comfortable with her & so did all of our guests. She was able to naturally & candidly capture so many beautiful shots. I am in awe of her work! She has such an artistic eye (hey female gaze!), but she is also a consummate professional. You can see plainly her decades of experience as she does the work of an entire team condensed into one person. She was there for all the right moments, one angle after another. She also edited so incredibly fast, I couldn't even believe it! Our implicit trust in her paid off because now we have these incredible photos for a lifetime of memories. Leah, you truly are more than a photographer, you're a historian documenting the most important moments of our lives. You are leaving us with historical, archeological artifacts that will live much longer than we do, showing the world that we were here & we were in love. You have woven yourself into the tapestry of queer history & now we have the honor of joining you. Thank you for the photographs, the friendship, the memories, & the real queer history. It was such an honor to have you be a part of our day.

Amazing wedding and engagement photos!

Leah shot both our engagement and wedding pictures, and we love all of the photos! Working with her felt comfortable and natural, even with posed/formal photos Leah does a great job of avoiding awkwardness and injecting levity. We also love Leah’s eye for good photo spots, working with a given setting and lighting to make beautiful scenes happen. Leah is really able to lean into a venue’s aesthetic and bring out the uniqueness it can offer. For both engagement and wedding shoots, Leah took such a great mix of shots - calm, cozy, energetic, stunning, sweet, funny…
During our wedding, Leah and her secondary photographer struck the perfect balance of prompting great poses and capturing candid moments; being unobtrusive yet perfectly-placed; giving instructions with intention while still capturing genuine emotion. Leah’s photos capture the vibe and feelings of our wedding day so well. Leah also made sure to get great pics of every guest, we’re so happy to have photos from throughout the reception of moments with so many people, and sharing Leah’s work with them has been such a delight.
Overall, Leah is awesome to work with. We will treasure the extensive photos she took for decades, and are pleased with the entire process of working with her!

Leah is an expert in capturing the big moments and preparing you for them

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Leah. From our engagement session through our wedding day, she captured our story so beautifully and genuinely.
Leah made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and it shows in every photo. She captured all the real moments. The laughter, the tears, the quiet in-between moments, and the love we felt from our family and friends. Every image feels natural, emotional, and timeless.
We felt the reason Leah made us so comfortable is how she got to know and connect with us on a personal level. We truly felt that she was not just documenting our story, but she had organically become a part of it with us.
We will treasure these photos forever. If you are looking for someone who captures real emotion and the true heart of your day, Leah is the one.
Thank you, Leah, for giving us memories we will cherish for a lifetime 🤍

The best is an understatement

Leah is truly the best photographer ever. We just received our wedding photos (she also took our engagement photos), and every time she manages to capture us in the most cinematic, movie-like way. As someone who struggles with body dysmorphia, having photos taken can be incredibly hard to navigate, but Leah captured us so beautifully. There is truly no other word to describe my experience other than healing.

She is witty, cheerful, and such an incredible human to be around. Do not give it a second thought. She is the best choice we made for our wedding, and we will continue booking her for as long as she will have us.

Leah is the best wedding photographer ever!

We had two weddings, a backyard wedding and a big indian wedding and Leah was the absolute perfect person to work with. Both of the sets of wedding photos far exceeded our expectations– they were truly beautiful! And Leah was extremely flexible– she helped accommodate our budget and was super honest about where we should invest and where we shouldn't (eg. she told us that for our wedding size we wouldn't need a second shooter, and encouraged us to purchase fewer hours).

Leah is amazing at making your wedding day run so smoothly: she is so kind and goes out of her way to keep stress under control. She also incredibly experienced and gave us a perfect idea of where to spend time taking photos and where not to. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. We are so thrilled with our photos and look forward to having these memories for our whole lifetime!

You can stop looking, She's It.

Leah is a master of her craft, a consummate professional, and a really damn good time.

Every step of the process we felt seen, heard, and knew that she was genuinely excited for our wedding. She showed up looking fantastic and tasteful, with incredible energy and immediately put everyone at ease and made them excited for the photos. She navigated complicated family dynamics with the deftest of ease and made our family portraits both elegant and still very us. She captured the essence of the day down to the roots in a way I've never seen another wedding photographer work. Her portraiture is considered and elegant and her candids are simply stunning in their honesty and joy.

She was with us every step of the way, supporting us throughout the day; our hype-woman, our documentarian, our family wrangler, our time keeper, and yet at the same time her presence didn't loom too large. She knows when to make herself known and heard and when to fade into the background to let the event flow and the magic of her camera to work.

I struggle to like how I look in photos, and she made me feel not only comfortable, but confident. I love these photos and the way they make my wife and I feel. They bring us straight back to the day and all of it's magic, and that is thanks to Leah and her gorgeous photography.

I truly can't say enough about Leah that will do her justice, just talk to her yourself and look at her stunning work.

Finding a wedding photographer is tricky work I know, but trust me, you've found her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
