I'm a story teller at heart...

Leialoha Photo is a wedding photographer in Southern California. Hawaiians have a saying "talk story," which means to come together and reflect on a meaningful time of the past. It means to reminisce.

When I photograph a wedding, I am capturing and curating a visual story of your beautiful day.

I don’t define my photography as one specific style. I love fine art, photojournalism and portraiture. I use natural light and edit in a clean, bright and timeless esthetic while including images that are edited to have a fine art feel, capturing the emotion of the moment. I love capturing the emotional moments of your wedding day. I strive to capture you, your family, and friends authentically so when you see the photos I've captured, you will be inspired to come together with your loved ones and talk story.

What to expect

I enjoy being a hands on wedding photographer. Being a quality wedding photographer and making sure my clients have the best experience takes much more than just showing up on the day with a camera. When we work together, we will collaborate on the perfect timeline and create a plan for your wedding photography. I love to get to know my couples and discover what is most important for them on their wedding day. Weddings are exciting and it can be a whirlwind of a day. I will be behind the scenes without being intrusive and I will help you with gentle direction when needed. I want you to feel like yourself and to feel at ease in front of my camera.
