Wedding Photos of my DREAMS

I have always dreamed of an elegantly captured wedding day, and Leigh Ann completely exceeded my expectations. Not only does her design expertise shine through in the ways in which she incorporates light, color, and clarity into her photographs, but her joyful personality makes your wedding day even more fun! From the start, Leigh Ann provided detailed information as to how the day would be photographed, and helped to plan out a schedule to make sure that all of our desired photos were accounted for. On the actual day of the wedding she was professional, cheerful, and just really fun to be around. She captured every photo we could ever want and then some. We got our gallery back on our honeymoon and we looked through the album for hours. She captured the love and joy of the most special day of our lives so thoughtfully and beautifully. There are a lot of things that you could go without on your wedding day, but Leigh Ann’s photography is not one of them. She created a joyful experience for my husband and I along with all of our family and friends, while also delivering classic, timeless photos that I will treasure forever. Thank you Leigh Ann!

You've found your photographer. It's Leigh Ann.

Where to even start with this woman!!! Leigh Ann was one of the best vendor choices we made for our wedding. My now husband and I aren't naturals in front of the camera, but we wanted our photographer to be able to capture our love and lead us to create some great memories and images from such a special time. From the engagement photos to the portraits to the wedding, Leigh Ann was incredible. Everyone brags that their photog got them sneak peeks within a few days of their wedding...Leigh Ann literally passed around an iPad at our dinner during the reception with some sneak peeks. There wasn't a dry eye to be found. She is professional, incredible capable and organized, thoughtful, extremely fast (seriously she spoiled us with her turnaround times) and we got pictures of everything we could've wanted and then some.

I can't say enough good things about Leigh Ann. She is incredibly talented but also just a dream to work with which is so important! 10/10, 5 stars, HIRE HER!

Amazing Photographer!

Leigh Ann was such a pleasure to work with, especially with all of the changes we had to make due to the pandemic! From rescheduling our engagement session multiple times, to making a detailed plan for our small, intimate ceremony, Leigh Ann was so understanding and kind during the entire process. Her work is beautiful and we love all of our photos!

Best Photographer in the DC Area

I first heard of Leigh Ann from a friend who highly recommended her after she took her collage portraits. One look at her website and I was smitten! I loved the bright and airy photo style but what made her photos stand out from the rest was the quality of the pictures. Communication was so easy and she felt like a friend after the first conversation and answered all my questions quickly. In the end, we had a COVID wedding and she was so well organized and helpful that she made the day easy and stress free. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Leigh Ann!

The best photographer you will ever find!

Where to begin.. we absolutely love Leigh Ann! We chose her because we saw some amazing photos she took of friends.. and then when we went to visit Virginia for our Engagement photos I was so confident our day of wedding would go smoothly. She makes taking pictures so fun.. and fast and makes everything seem like you’re just hanging out with a friend! She directs well when positioning others for pictures and is very organized. We loved our engagement pictures.. and although we only have a few sneak peeks of our wedding Pics.. I am so excited!! Lastly, during dinner Leigh passed around a tablet with a few pictures for everyone to look at.. and passed out business cards with our personalized photo and link for guests to view everything later.. incredible!! Don’t sleep on this decision, book her for sure!

Leigh Ann is the BEST!

Booking with Leigh Ann was one of the best decisions we've made during our wedding planning. Leigh Ann is simply the best!! She has gone above and beyond in working with us as we rescheduled our wedding and engagement session (multiple times). She is kind, understanding, and thoughtful. We had our engagement session last weekend and Leigh Ann was amazing! She guided us through poses and put our nerves entirely at ease. Our photos are beautiful and we are so happy with the results! We can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding! I 100% recommend Leigh Ann!!!

Above and beyond!!

Leigh Ann was the best!! She made a stressful process easy. She was extremely flexible when we had to move our wedding date and change the whole plan when we went through some family health issues. Then, she was very accommodating navigating the process during COVID. Her work is absolutely gorgeous, you can tell she has a background in design! She was very responsive, friendly, professional, and quick to provide edited photos. Her style is so elegant and timeless. I would HIGHLY recommend her for wedding (or other photography) events! I will definitely use her again next time I need professional photos!

The best photographer

Leigh Ann does an absolutely stunning job and completely captured our wedding day from start to finish, in the most beautiful way. From getting ready, to bridal portraits, to a Catholic mass, outdoor wedding party pictures then reception... she captured everything I could've dreamt of remembering. Her work has let us relive our greatest day over and over again and I couldn't recommend her more. She is truly talented.

Run, don’t walk, to hire Leigh Ann

Leigh Ann is an amazing photographer. During our engagement shoot, she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and we were blown away by the results. We can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding. In fact, we also did an additional booking with her to have her photograph our upcoming engagement party.

Almost as important during these trying times as her amazing results is Leigh Ann’s empathy and professionalism. She has walked with through the reschedule of our engagement pics, then engagement party, and now unfortunately our wedding to 2021. With how devastated we were to postpone, Leigh Ann’s empathy couldn’t have been more appreciated. I HIGHLY recommend her in general, but wanted to especially recommend her to any newly engaged couple feeling weary about putting a deposit down for a photographer during this time. You can trust Leigh Ann!

Excellent wedding photographer

We are so happy we booked Leigh Ann for our wedding. Working with her was a great experience from start to finish. She took our engagement photos and beautifully captured the exact vibe we were going for. When our wedding plans changed due to all the coronavirus restrictions, she was understanding, flexible and accommodating. Changing our wedding plans was stressful, but working with Leigh Ann made it easier. We decided to keep our original wedding date and have a small elopement in Meridian Hill Park in DC, and despite our changed circumstances, Leigh Ann was there to capture our wedding and make sure we got all the perfect photos! Leigh Ann helped make our wedding day perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
