About

Photography is a huge part of your day because these are the memories you will cherish for years to come.

If you're just looking for a photographer to show up and take photos from a shots list, I'm not the right photographer for you. If you're submitting a bunch of inquiries on the search for the cheapest photographer available on your date, that's not me.

If you're looking for someone who will feel like a friend, make your day more fun, capture your relationship in an authentic way, and follow your love story for years to come, I'm your girl.

I'll make you laugh, make you dance, and make you feel even closer to your partner than you were before. Those candid moments are what I live for; I will capture the intimacy of your wedding day and help you forget that all eyes are on you. Your wedding day is a beautiful experience that will only happen once, and so I take a step back and document your day instead of directing it. This way I am able to capture your day as it happens, and so your lifelong memories are of real moments, not just stiff, posed images.

I would love to hear more about your love story, proposal, and wedding plans!

Talented, Warm, and Absolutely Amazing!

We are so grateful to have had Leigh Anne as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, she was warm, patient, and incredibly supportive—truly an amazing coach who made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her energy was calm and kind, and she somehow managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive.

She created such a relaxed, natural vibe—especially during the getting ready moments. It honestly felt like she was just one of the gals, snapping away effortlessly while we just hung out! I was a little nervous that taking pictures would feel overwhelming, but she made it genuinely fun and easy. The posed shots were relaxed and full of joy, and the candids? Next level. She captured all the emotion and magic without missing a beat.

She came fully prepared, kept everything running smoothly, and was so efficient—never once making it feel rushed or staged. And her second shooter, Sean, was just as wonderful! Together, they made the perfect team. We felt completely taken care of and knew we were in expert hands.

We’re obsessed with our photos and will treasure them forever. Thank you both for giving us memories we’ll get to relive for a lifetime. We love you!

Dream photos come true

I knew Leigh Anne's artistic style would be a great match for us when we hired her, but she and her second photographer Viviana captured our wedding even better than I could have ever imagined. Not only did the photos come out like works of art that belong in a museum, but also their level of organization and direction made being photographed easy and stress-free. We had so much fun with them on our big day and will always be grateful!

Leigh Anne is the absolute best

I cannot say enough about Leigh Anne. She is the most talented photographer, but most importantly, an incredible person. She made sure that I was feeling okay during my wedding, we were meeting the time schedule, we got all of our pictures we wanted, and made all of our wedding party feel comfortable getting their pictures taken. We received previews a few days ago and are obsessed. My wedding was almost completely inside, and she managed to capture the most amazing photos with fantastic lighting. They're moody, edgy, sexy, memorable and everything else I ever wanted them to be.

Leigh Anne is the BEST

Where do I even begin? Leigh Anne was PERFECTION! I’ve followed her on Instagram for years and I’ve always known that I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. Once we had our venue and date locked down, I reached out to Leigh Anne with the expectation that she was probably already booked. Low and behold, she was available that day AND available to travel to New Hampshire for our mountaintop ceremony! I was ELATED to say the least. We set up a time to talk about the engagement shoot and she could not have been kinder and more professional. She took the time to get to know me and Matt and our story and what we were looking for. She kept diligent notes during every meeting and was extremely organized. We exchanged calls and texts leading up to the big day to talk details and swap ideas. She was always available and ready to assist with whatever question I had. On the day of, disaster struck, and rain and thunderstorms deluged the area. Leigh Anne remained calm and cool and was my rock that day. Thankfully, the sun came out around 4 PM and we were able to have the outdoor mountaintop ceremony of our dreams. The pictures that I’ve gotten back from my previews are IMMACULATE. I will cherish the time I spent with Leigh Anne over the past year, and I can’t wait to come back as a repeat client! Photographers are such a key player during a wedding, not only for the photos, but just for directing the flow and timeline for the entire day. You will walk away after meeting her wanting to be BFFs because she’s just that kind and cool! 1000 out of 1000 recommend Leigh Anne, it will be the best decision you’ve ever made!

So talented, so kind, so professional!

We feel so lucky that we were able to work Leigh Anne! She was so sweet and flexible when it came to rescheduling during the pandemic and when we did finally get to work with her, she made us laugh from start to finish. As someone who usually feels super weird in front of a camera, she made me (and my husband) feel 100% at ease. Honestly felt like we were just taking pictures with one of our best friends! And the final products were just amazing. Her photography and editing skills are off the charts and I can't wait to frame and hang her photos all over our house and look back on them for years to come.

10/10 recommend!

I was referred to Leigh Anne after our original photographer had to unexpectedly back out. Let me say, a nerve-racking situation turned into a major blessing! Leigh Anne not only photographed my wedding just a few weeks ago, but she also did our micro-ceremony last September. She has been amazing throughout this entire process. Kind, friendly, professional - the list goes on. And of course, the most important part, her photography is BEAUTIFUL! We have so many stunning photos and I am so so grateful. Thank you Leigh Anne! The best!

Amazing and Kind Photographer

It is about darn time that I write this review for Leigh Anne. Leigh Anne was the second vendor I hired back in early 2019 for our April 2020 wedding. She has been wonderful through it all - changed venues, multiple dates, engagement photos, and FINALLY our wedding in August 2021. Leigh Anne is very communicative, so kind, flexible, has the best laugh (just you wait for it), and is just such a great photographer. Between our engagement photos and the wedding preview we've received, we've gotten so many compliments on the beautiful photos that she (and Viviana) took. On the actual wedding day, we had a huge venue (a farm), relatively big wedding parties, and our energetic families and she handled/managed the chaos like a pro. I have only positive things to say about Leigh Anne and will definitely find excuses to work with her in the future!

Leigh Anne is absolutely incredible

Our day was perfect because of Leigh Anne. She goes above and beyond. Her work is absolutely stunning and she makes sure everything is perfect. She takes the time to really get to know her clients and makes you feel so comfortable. My husband and I don’t usually like our picture taken but when Leigh Anne is involved it’s so much fun. I cannot recommend LABP enough.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Leigh Anne and Leigh Anne Brader Photography

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Leigh Anne and Leigh Anne Brader Photography. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, everything Leigh Anne delivered was beautiful! I came across Leigh Anne’s work through a friend of mine and knew immediately that I wanted her for our wedding. Hiring a photographer in any capacity is not cheap, but Leigh Anne worked with us to find a package that would fit our wedding budget. I was a little nervous about only having one photographer the day of our wedding, but Leigh Anne is extremely experienced and organized so nothing was missed! She covered everything and more – A super woman photographer! As a part of our package Leigh Anne also shot our engagement photos (which I’m in love with) and even did a mini-boudoir session for me before I put on my dress. She was a part of our wedding planning from the beginning, so I truly feel like I built a wonderful relationship with her. No doubt I will continue using Leigh Anne and Leigh Anne Brader Photography for all future photography needs!

5 Stars isn't enough

Contagious energy, super personable, and crazy talented with a camera. She’s like super woman with a camera! We highly recommend Leigh Anne to do your wedding or event. We are super happy that we did. I am not good with photos and she just brought out the little kid in us while we were doing our photo session. Leigh Anne, you are worth every penny and more. Thank you for the memories that will last forever. We hope to do some more with you soon.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
