With a photography style equal parts contemporary, natural, and photojournalistic, LGEmerick is dedicated to customer satisfaction and capturing every moment of your special day.

Services Offered

LGEmerick Photography offers fully customized packages for wedding, engagement, boudoir, and trash-the-dress photo shoot sessions. Local and destination wedding requests can be accommodated. High-resolution images are always provided, and a second shooter and additional hours of coverage can be supplied upon request. Albums, canvases, and prints of your images are readily available, and depending on whether you desire an engagement session, save-the-dates can also be supplied.

I used to have a cool profile until wedding wire re-wrote it without my permission to this generic one you see above. Every time I try to change it back - they rewrite it. So trust me. I am cool and not a robot. Even though Wedding Wire wants to make me seem like one ;)

Lge is a gem

She caught on to my not-quite-traditional vision and created a plan and pricing that worked for my event. My camera-shy groom was more relaxed having his picture taken and I could not be happier with the images of my favorite day that Leah captured. My family was enamored with how kind and personable Leah is and still talk about the experience. She referred to people by name and brought a relaxed but professional energy to the session. Most notable, she captured candids of everyone who is important to me with these relaxed and genuine smiles. These are treasures. Thank you, Leah.

Jumped in to save the day

Let me tell you, from first look at her portfolio, until after receiving the finished gallery- there is countless praising. She responded to me very quickly when I had some questions, and even video called to get a feel for what I would need as a client. Not only that she fit us in during the busiest wedding month of the year. She showed up and was an absolute asset to our day and when I think back, she will be one of the forefront memories. We had a last minute ceremony and reception, and even though it was a low key event, there were some hiccups along the way. When I was unable to be in my dress on time for "first look photos" she hopped in and saved the day. She went from photographer, to friend, and got me into my dress, tightened most of the corset and bustled me after for the reception. We were at ease in her presence, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. The photos turned out gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Leah, you are the BEST of the best.

Artistic and safe

Leah was on time, attentive and made us feel so comfortable. The most enjoyable part of our entire wedding was going off to take sunset pictures!

Hire This Photographer!

Leah was responsive from the start. In a sea of wedding photographers she really stood out with her professionalism and attention to detail. I knew I could trust her to capture every moment I wanted. Her communication and ability to navigate my (CRAZY) family on the day made the entire process way more enjoyable that I thought it could be. The picture process FLEW by and we are thrilled with the results.

She got us our digital gallery in less than a week! It was awesome being able to relive our big day while still on our honeymoon. Would recommend her to anyone!

Best Photographer in Kansas City!

Leah did such an amazing job on our wedding day. From the moment my now husband and I met her (via Skype) we knew she was going to be the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She was also recently voted Best Photographer in Kansas City and it is easy to see why - just take one look at the gorgeous photos on her website. We were planning our wedding from a few states away and Leah made it so easy to communicate and quickly responded to our questions. My husband absolutely hates posing for photos, but she made it enjoyable and fun for everyone. She planned out the day perfectly, getting all the shots we had requested as well as going above and beyond to find the best places around the city to take photos. As we were planning from far away she sent us a Starbucks gift card to go on a date and talk about our wedding plans because we were unable to meet with her in person before our wedding. It is things like this that make her not just the best photographer we could have asked for, but also an amazing person. We feel so lucky that she captured our day for us.

So much fun!

Leah did such a marvelous job with both our engagement and wedding pictures!!! She made us so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day and was so fun to work with! She keeps the mood so light and fun you forget you are having your pictures taken capturing those true candid moments. She knows exactly what to have you think about or say to your partner that gets just the right expression to still look so genuine. She has such a creative and artistic eye and really makes the whole experience so easy. She will even help you incorporate your cat into your engagement photos! She is organized and will get people where they need to be on the wedding day. She helped me out so much from the beginning by drawing out a wedding day timeline which was really frightening for me to think about! She is someone you can totally trust and does such a wonderful job! We were so blessed to have her as our photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

Leah is so great! We used her for both our engagement and wedding day photos. She has such a great eye and was able to find unique shots that looked amazing! My favorite thing about her is how she was able to capture the genuine moments. Photo shoots with her were so fun and she is very efficient with her time so you get a lot of great shots without having to take valuable time away from the reception. She is so kind and easy to work with! I would definitely recommend her!!

Simply put, Leah is a phenomenal photographer who pours her entire heart and soul into this process. It would be enough to recommend her for her gorgeous work (5 stars+), but I think what sets Leah apart is just how downright likeable, thoughtful and caring she is. From buying us shots during our engagement shoot (she correctly guessed it was what we needed), to sending us pizza when we decided to move right before the wedding, to herding the cats that were our family members on our wedding day, her thoughtfulness and good humor created an experience for us we will never forget. She's just a pure joy to be around and she knows exactly what she's doing. Leah is a gifted photographer who captured our wedding day beautifully. She caught gorgeously nuanced shots of some of the day's best moments and I am so grateful that I have her work to prove how awesome our day was. I can not recommend her enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Leah is one of the most talented in her field and I do not say that lightly. My background experience is doing photo styling for magazines, catalogs and books so I have worked with many photographers, but Leah outshines all of them. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing photographer in our mist. I would jump hoops to work with her-all of her photographs are amazing. If you haven't booked her yet, I have no idea what you are waiting for!
