Absolutely perfect!

We had high hopes and expectations but Leah went wildly above what we hoped for. Her style fits the San Diego aesthetic wonderfully and her ability to capture the mood/hype/emotion of our wedding was incredible.

Our one worry, unrelated to any photographer, was our wedding size(50 people). I was worried it would look a little empty due to the smaller headcount but without me even asking, Leah was able to use her skill to still make it look grand.

My wife, myself, and everybody close to us are obsessed with these photos! Do yourself a favor and book her for your next event, you’l be thankful you did!

Incredible. Hire Leah Immediately.

We were having a themed wedding in Idyllwild and after searching through photographers in and around the area, we came across Leah’s gallery and was impressed with her use of light, the quality of her framing, and poses she’d captured. After setting up a call and discussing that we were looking for video and photography, Leah was ready with options to share based on our budget and what we had in mind. Her team was so excited about the event based on our wedding website we shared that they were overflowing with ideas, especially since the venue had so much character to offer. I was blown away by how thorough they were. From capturing the aesthetic of the venue, guests’ arrival, both me and my husband getting ready before the big moments, portraits with our guests, the ceremony itself, and then fun cinematic shots of us running around with swords in the woods. They really helped preserve our memories for such a special day we worked so hard to create for ourselves and our guests. They were incredibly easy to work with, were great at giving direction for poses, and genuinely fun to be around. As you can see from the photos, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better team to capture your special memories. Hire Leah and her team IMMEDIATELY.

Phenomenal work

Where do I start? Leah is a world class photographer. I found her name on Wedding Wire but her Instagram really sold me. She has shot many different styles, and settings and her product is always flawless. It was such a pleasure to have her at my wedding, she was fun and accommodating during our schedule. She was prepared and organized before hand and she made it so easy for us. Her final edits of us are my most precious mementos from our wedding. She has an amazing way of capturing love and connection. I would 100% hire her for more events in the future, such a gem.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
