Since 2009, I've been helping couples who are planning super-fun wedding celebrations get the beautiful photos they want by encouraging them to just be themselves, have fun, and focus on each other. I also support couples as they work hard to counter the pervasive white, straight, cis-gendered wedding culture that perpetuates gender stereotypes and harmful expectations for people getting married.

Clients have described me as an excellent coach; honest, caring, professional and unobtrusive. I have received the Couples’ Choice Award from The Wedding Wire every year since 2015 and have unanimous five star reviews ***** on both The Wedding Wire and Yelp. I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America, have a B.A. from Mount Holyoke College, and a Certificate in Professional Photography from the New England School of Photography. I live in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston with my amazing wife, hilarious twins, and lazy housecats. I love Boston, and I travel throughout New England to work with my awesome clients. I can't wait to hear from you to get started making beautiful and authentic photographs.

My approach to wedding photography: an emphasis on authenticity mixed with a healthy amount of skepticism.

Two things are important to me in wedding photography: Authenticity and Skepticism.

First, authenticity.

I really want you to relax and be yourself, so that you can just…laugh. Or cry. Or smirk. Or check yourself out in the mirror. Or just close your eyes and take it all in. I want you to enjoy the moments in front of you, not worry about things happening behind the scenes. I want you to feel comfortable and confident, not overly worried about how you look. I want you to almost forget that you’re being photographed, so that the real, joyful you can shine through. I help couples get the photos they want by encouraging them to be themselves, have fun, and focus on each other.

Of course that is easier said than done. Most people aren’t automatically comfortable and authentic in front of the camera and most couples aren’t automatically relaxed on their wedding day when surrounded by hundreds of family members and guests.

I totally get it! And yet I truly believe that when you are comfortable in front of the camera, beautiful, authentic photos will be the result.

To help, I have developed a highly personalized and collaborative approach to wedding and portrait photography. We get to know each other. We talk about what kinds of photos you’re looking for, what photos you want to look back on in ten years, and what photos you’re most excited about. We make lists and timelines and Pinterest boards. My goal is to not only be your photographer, but also your teammate. I've been known to bustle dresses, pin on boutonnieres, and even sew on a lost button. I do what it takes to support you through the experience of being photographed so that the resulting photos are effortless, beautiful gorgeous, and most importantly, authentic.

Second, skepticism.

I maintain a healthy skepticism of the Wedding Industrial Complex that wants you to be skinnier, richer and more beautiful; that wants you to fit better into the gender binary; that force feeds you the misguided notion that your wedding must be "The Best Day of Your Life;" and that insists all weddings must be equal parts beautiful, romantic, and perfect if they are to lead to successful marriages. I don't perpetuate any of those myths in talk or in action. Instead I look for real joyful moments, I encourage genuine interactions, and I insist that couples blaze their own path in planning their wedding celebration. No cookie-cutter photos, here. No reenactments of dramatic moments for the camera's sake and definitely no taking you out of your celebration to stage an overly posed and dramatically lit version of reality.

These two words, authenticity and skepticism, lead me to always remind couples, “Just be yourself, and I’ll do the rest.”

Please get in touch today so we can get started making beautiful and authentic wedding photos that reflect YOU.

Absolutely Amazing

It is pretty impossible to describe how wonderful an experience we had working with Leise in the space allotted but I will certainly try! Three years ago, Leise was the wedding photographer for my friend's wedding in which I was a bridal party member. The photos from that wedding were stunning and the photos of me and my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, on the dance floor were my absolute favorite of us! I just knew that when it was our turn, we would need to work with Leise. And a handful of days after we were engaged, Leise was my very first wedding related call! From the Get to Know You Session at the college where my husband and I met, until the last few snapshots of our wedding reception over a year later, Leise has been an incredible source of calm, a phenomenally organized and thoughtful partner in this wedding planning process and OF COURSE an amazing photographer. Prior to the wedding, we worked on a shot list. She asked the most thoughtful questions about family member photo configurations, learning the names of everyone and who should be paired with whom in which photos. SUCH DETAIL. Her photos are real, genuine, and FULL of love. Leise even jumped in with my bridesmaids to help bustle my dress! She is such a fun and professional collaborator, working closely with our other vendors to make our day flow so smoothly. We loved working with Leise and will reach out to her for every important event and milestone in our life. Leise remains one of the BEST aspects of our wedding day and I feel incredibly grateful that our memories were documented by her. Thank you, Leise!

Backyard Wedding

Leise was amazing. We hired her for our backyard gay wedding. From the first meeting she made us extremely comfortable and we hired her at the conclusion of the meeting. She had an additional meeting with us to go over details of the day the week of the wedding. She shared other photos of weddings she did and she had a great ability to capture natural elements of the day. She arrived early and stayed late and we received numerous compliments from family that she was so good and blending in made everyone very comfortable. She recommended right after the ceremony that we get away from the gathering for some intimate pictures. We were unsure we wanted to do this but it turned out to be some amazing moments and memories that we will never forget. Do it!!! We could not recommend her more highly. You will not be disappointed.

All around fantastic

Leise was the perfect photographer! Her photos captured all of the special moments of our day and more, and her calm, easygoing nature made us feel really comfortable and natural in front of her camera. She easily rolled with all of the photo ideas we had and any last changes throughout the day, and her final photos came out quickly and beautifully.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

It was a pleasure to meet Leise when we were working on the same October wedding. She was incredibly nice. As I had to wait after the initial set-up to move flowers during the room flip, I could watch her do the first look and traditional family shots. The final results were wonderful and took advantage of the gorgeous skyline and architecture around the venue. She even had a section at the end of that wedding's photo gallery with just flowers and other vendor related pictures. I know the bride was really happy with her as well. I hope we run into each other again!
