Look no further..

Ayah and Lenny were hands down the MVPs of the night. They are sooooo good at what they do, super professional, yet they bring lots of fun and humor. Exactly what we wanted- especially having TWO photographers (it was so needed for the small details in the photos). They did a stellar job, far exceeded our expectations. We loved their positivity, energy, and just overall direction during the event. They stayed on top of the photoshoot list and made everything so easy and light. The photos came out PERFECT. We were so pleased with their service.

Amazing work

After a stressful cancellation from another vendor only weeks before our big day, finding Leniel and Ayah was a true blessing. Despite the short notice, they took the time to understand our vision and the shots that mattered most to us. They were incredibly organized, punctual, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the lens. The final gallery exceeded all our expectations, the emotions captured are just beautiful. We highly recommend them for their talent and their incredible work ethic.

We cannot say enough amazing things about these photographers!

Lenny and Ayah absolutely surpassed our expectations for the day of and the photos we received back from our wedding day. We were so fortunate to book them and work with them. Their communication before, during, and after our big day was amazing. They listened to our ideas and the vision of our special day. They clearly have a passion for what they do and work incredibly well together. If we could give them more than five stars, we would do it in a heartbeat! Thank you, THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts for bringing our day back to life every time we look at our wedding photos. Y'all were an absolute JOY. We wish you nothing but success and to bring more stunning photos and memories to so many more people in the future. Love y'all!!

Hire them!!

Honest review… I can’t say enough about these incredible photographers! From the moment they arrived — right on time and ready to go — they brought such calm, positive energy to the entire day. They were professional, organized, and so much fun, and honestly felt like part of our family by the end of the night. They didn’t just capture moments, they helped create them. They posed everyone beautifully, kept us on schedule, and somehow managed to make even the most camera-shy people feel completely at ease. They were part photographers, part wedding coordinators, and all-around LIFE SAVERS!! When we got our photos back, we were blown away. Every single image was stunning, thoughtful, natural, and full of emotion. They truly captured the magic of our day. We’ll treasure these photos forever, and we’re so grateful for everything they did to make our day perfect.

Amazing!

Leniel and Ayah were amazing and we loved them for our wedding in Vista, CA! They were very accommodating when we wanted to shoot at multiple locations, and were amazing communicators. They wanted to get to know us a bit before our wedding and we thought that was very sweet! They chose the best locations at our venue to take pictures at because we didn’t really have any ideas on that haha. They are so creative and the pictures turned out amazing! They also weren’t annoying or always in our faces when taking pictures of all the big moments, but still captured everything we wanted them too! Also, as people they were very encouraging and kind and helped us to relax and have fun when we were nervous haha! Our families loved them as well. I would recommend them for any event!

The Pefect Wedding Photographer

Leniel his team get my best wedding vendor review. They were very professional from the time we inquired to our wedding photo gallery was ready. Thy were more than photogrpahers for us. we are not very photogenic and are kinda and awkawrd couple when taking pictures, you would not be able to tell they resparked our love throughout this whole process they way taught us how to pose from giving us confidence boosteres because they could tell we were nervous. On wedding day they inetracted with our whole gueslist as if they were apart of my family and that is something that you cannot buy. My wife and I are still blown away from the whole expirience with Leniel V. Photography

Best photos!

We loved working with Leniel V Photo! They are extremely professional, punctual and organized! We shared our vision
For our wedding and they went above and beyond to capture all the special moments. Through out the night they were approachable if we wanted to snag any additional photos with guests etc. We provided a shot list and they were able to execute beyond what we even planned.

Beyond Happy

An absolute dream to work with. We went with Leniel for our engagement pictures after a failed first attempt with someone else. After getting back our engagement pictures, we booked immediately for our wedding as well. You can't put a price tag on feeling comfortable while getting photographed. We just received our wedding pictures and we are in love with them. Beyond exceeded expectations, so easy to work with, completely reliable and would highly recommend.

Heart Melting pics

I wanted to get family pictures for my annual Christmas cards, and also include some personal pictures with my husband. I explained what I wanted and Lenny and Ayah captured everything perfectly!

Lenny has a great eye for capturing small details. His wife, Ayah, captured some “behind the scenes” which were so precious and thoughtful.

I cried when I opened the gallery because my vision came to life in the pictures. The finished product was absolute expert quality - probably better than a super expensive photographer.

I highly recommended this husband/wife photography team!
