The #1 Photographer in Tidewater VA

If you are looking for an amazing photographer who is dependable, trustworthy, and great to work with. Then congrats, you just found her! We hired Leigh to be our photographer for our wedding after our original photographer backed out months prior, and she was the best decision we ever made!!!! Not only did she make our wedding photoshoots so easy, because she had a gameplan for every picture that we could ask for, but she made us had so much fun while doing it. And let me tell you about these pictures, they look absolutely stunning!!!! She also was able to give us everything we could ever ask for in a photographer. I plan on using her as my photographer for every occasion that I could need. Thank you so much Leigh!!! You made our wedding day as special as we could have hoped for!!!

Rob and Heather Lemieux

Leigh was fantastic!!!! She worked with us on the photos that we wanted, was incredibly efficient and generally interested in us. The photo shoot was so much fun and never laborious even after 100s of photos. She really made every photo feel special and choreographed only for us. The photos themselves are magical and capture so many memories of an incredible day that felt like such a blur in the moment, but are now captured forever.

Don’t hesitate just get Leigh

Leigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She was on top of scheduling the day of to make sure we got all the picture we wanted. She also was amazing working with our wedding coordinator and videographer.

Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning. She truly captured not only my husband and I’s love but the love and happiness of everyone at our wedding. Her and her crew truly have an eye for photography and capturing all the special moments. She also sent us our photos within a week after our wedding, which we loved because we thought we would have to wait longer to get them back! We love Leigh! Trust me if you book her you are going to get your moneys worth. She is amazing!!!

Just book her

When we saw her via various interwebs searches for phtographers in our area, we KNEW we had to have her. Bonus points---she also works with us so her name sounded familiar!!
We could not have been happier with Leigh and her daughter Morgan was our second photographer at our wedding. Leigh is your eternal hype man. We got the engagement photos done exactly one year before our wedding and we knew from that shoot that she was just different. She literally took what was in my mind and created it. She completely understood my vision. After having so much fun with her and getting those photos back, we just KNEW she was going to deliver at our wedding, and she seriously exceeded our expectations by a long shot! Not only did she capture the best memories and photos on our wedding day, but she was our hype man--hyping the youngest to the oldest member of the family during pictures, she bustled my dress, and she really cared about making our photography dreams come true. She was also readily available when I needed to get in contact with her and helped me create a perfect timeline for the day. She even gave me advice on several other vendors. She knew exactly what to do when it came to shooting a catholic mass wedding, which I appreciated so much. Lastly, 10/10 turn around time. We got our pictures back pretty quickly (around two ish weeks) after the wedding and they were perfectly organized as well, which made for super easy viewing and downloading. I enjoyed hanging out with Leigh and I felt like she was a part of my wedding party! I'd hang out with her again without photography involved, that's how much Im obsessed with her :) Trust us, you want her for your wedding day/event photography!!

Do yourself a favor and go with Leigh

Our wedding was almost a month ago and we are still talking about how awesome Leigh was! She came recommended to us by a trusted family member, and it's clear why! I cannot say enough good things about her! She is easy to work with, SO talented, great energy, and insanely efficient– she returned my WHOLE wedding gallery in under 2 weeks. Highly recommend!

So happy Leigh was my photographer for our very special day

I am so grateful I was able to book Leigh for my wedding. She has the eye for all the perfect shots. Leigh captured the beauty, elegance, happiness and perfection of our day. Every time I look at my wedding album, I get to relive every moment of that amazing day. Leigh also did my husband's and I engagement photos which were equally as beautiful. My friends and family said, "Leigh captured our personalities and love for each other" in the photos! You will not regret booking the best photographer in town!

Leigh was the BEST!!!

Leigh was the absolute BEST photographer we could have ever dreamed of! She was so professional, and all her photos turned out AMAZING!! She was also so easy to work with during our engagement shoot/wedding day! She kept everything moving in a timely fashion and got all the shots we asked for (and more we didn't even think of!) But perhaps most importantly, she was so friendly, nice, and fun!! Having beautiful pictures is (of course) a wonderful thing, but having such a lovely human being taking those pictures and supporting/guiding us through the magnificent whirlwind that was our wedding day was priceless :)

The Absolute Best!

I literally cannot say enough good things about Leigh! She's an amazing person and so much fun to work with! I was worried that I'd be uncomfortable/awkward for formal photos but she just made it so much fun. She's super organized and on top of it- kept this "type A" bride sane beforehand- stuck to the timeline, etc - all of the professional things you could ever ask for! She was flexible and supportive when we had to postpone from 2020 to 2021. And most importantly, the photos are absolutely spectacular! We love them and have gotten so so many compliments. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, hire Leigh!

Leigh Skaggs is a BOSS!

I have worked with Leigh before on other projects, so I knew when I got engaged we needed to snag her.

She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. She was great at directing everyone where they needed to be for family pictures and bridal party pictures. She made sure to get all shots that we wanted and then some.

She helped keep me calm when my ring bearer threw up all over my maid of honor 1.5 hours before the ceremony. She helped get the dress rinsed off and dried. There were still a few spots on it, but no one knew anything.

She was incredible, and we will forever recommend her to anyone and everyone. Photos are the only thing you have to look back on of that day. Pick the photographer that understands how important they are.

Leigh Skaggs you are amazing. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!

Leigh is the BEST

I would highly recommend Leigh Skaggs Photography to anyone who asked me, she truly was perfect for our wedding day. I felt like one of the best qualities was that she wanted to help us capture our day to the fullest and was very responsive to what we wanted. We told her that we wanted pictures with fireworks and she KILLED it!! She is by far the best wedding photographer in the 757 and beyond, we could not have asked for a better experience on our most special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
