    Warm, Fun & Captured Our Day Perfectly

    Leana was warm & personable from day 1! We bonded over books & love stories, and she went on to do a wonderful job capturing ours, for both the engagement shoot and our laid-back, creative small town California wine country wedding. We have so many wonderful memories to look back at thanks to Leana! She was prepared for everything, a real pro, and our photos are perfect. We did not have a particularly fancy or expensive wedding - we prioritized photography in the budget, while DIYing a lot of other details, and I’m so glad we did! Couldn’t recommend her more highly.

    Gem of a person and photographer!

    If you’re looking for the most amazing, friendly, professional and incredibly talent photographer then you have to look no further because Leana is all of the above and more! When we discovered Leana, we instantly fell in love with her work and knew that she was the only person that we wanted to photograph one of the most important days of our lives. We knew we made the right choice with Leana because all of our interactions with her were so meaningful and enjoyable which immediately put us at ease, which was so important to us as we were already apprehensive about being photographed (both my husband and are camera-shy). She was also one of our most communicative and responsive vendor and was extremely organized which was so highly appreciated. Leana is truly a gem of a person and photographer. Thanks to her, we have the most magical photos from the happiest day of our lives and will continue to book her for all of our special occasions!

    Saving Grace

    I don’t think I have enough words in my vocabulary to explain to you how perfect and wonderful Leana is as a wedding photographer, but more importantly as a person.
    When I say I did not have a good wedding day, that is the nicest way I can possibly put it. However, my wedding photos look like the whimsical, fairytale I had dreamed of. Leana managed to capture every beautiful moment all while regulating my coordinator who was determined to ruin my day and directing everyone seamlessly. She was seriously more like my planner and wedding photographer combined. She was also the only person who could make me feel better on (not kidding) be of the hardest days of my life. She was my wedding saving grace. My photos are perfect and I gained a treasured friend. I will now forever use Leana for any time I need some happiness captured. She will for sure be my lifelong photographer for all my future milestones. I.e., kids, birthdays, honeymoons - anything else I can possibly think of. I can’t sing her praises enough. She’s an angel 🫶🏼

    Highly Recommend

    Leana shot both our engagement photos and our wedding and I will just say we felt undeniably lucky to have found her. Not only were her photos lovely, but it's clear she really cares about the people she works with. She was so invested in everything along the way, from helping me pick out outfits for our engagement shoot to the timeline for the wedding. I could text her anytime and she was incredibly responsive. We interviewed several other photographers, but no one felt as warm, genuine or as enthusiastic as Leana so we went with her--- and our instincts were right. After our wedding, I told her that it felt like a friend was there taking our pictures, not just a vendor. If I could do one thing differently I would have planned ahead and booked more time for a bridal shoot or something else! I would highly recommend.

    Amazing pictures and professional

    Loved working with Leana! She and her team were always professional, kind, communicative, and so talented. The pictures came out so well and she was so easy to work with, bringing so much of what we wanted and didn’t even know we wanted to life. Photos are one of the most important parts of the wedding and I’m so grateful we hired Leana!

    Best Photographer Experience

    I can say that I would hands down suggest anyone to have Leana take your pictures! She was absolutely amazing in all aspects. She helped accommodate in every way she possibly could for our wedding. Once we had chosen her she instantly was on the ball and made sure I understood everything within her contract and answered any questions I had quickly. She reached out to me about going over the wedding day plans! She spoke with me several times before the wedding to make sure everything would go smoothly! Day of she arrived early and was the sweetest person ever! She helped me manage the wedding day craziness of my family and made sure she got every picture I wanted beautifully. Her time management was perfect and made sure we took all pictures at the times needed. Not to mention every single picture she took was breathtaking! I was beyond pleased with Leana in every single aspect!

    Leana was amazing!

    Leana and I met on very unique circumstances!
    I had booked a photographer for my engagement/wedding photos and 3 months before the big day...she found out she would be unable to take our photos due to having a medical procedure done. Scrambling to find another, I found Sasha with Somewhere studios who agreed to take on the task...only to find out she was unable to be there the day of as well, BUT she could connect me with Leana and I'm so glad she did!

    Leana is INCREDIBLY sweet, professional, and attentive. She made sure to reach out to me before hand to ease any worries I might have had with the day approaching. She showed up early on the day of, made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride on earth with endless compliments and captured our day from beginning to end!

    Although she did not do the final edits on my photos, she offered to give me backups in case I wanted extra!! At the end of the day I got 1000+ photos to go through and I seriously couldn't be any happier! And that's not saying enough; my entire bridal party LOVED her and continued to compliment and praise her to me even after our wedding!

    I think for someone to take on not one, but several brides last minute is saying A LOT about who Leana is as a person and professional. I would 10/10 recommend her over and over again

    Stop looking and book leana!

    We had the most amazing experience working with Leana. She is the nicest, most talented, professional photographer out there! We did both an engagement photo shoot as well as the full day for our wedding and we’re so thrilled with our pictures. My husband and I are both a little camera shy and she helped us feel so comfortable and get us out of our shells. By the time it was our wedding day it felt like having a friend be there to support us through the craziness! And our pictures are just incredible. She listened to what style we liked, what we were looking for, and delivered it flawlessly! On top of our gorgeous pictures, she was very responsive and super supportive throughout the whole wedding process. For each session she sent sample pics to us as she was editing and kept us updated throughout the entire process. On top of that, her prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of service she provides! I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience. We truly cherish our photos- so seriously stop your search and book her!

    Leana went above and beyond my expectations with her photography but also with her warm and genuinely caring personality. Before the wedding she would gladly give me advice, make me feel excited and confident every time I shared a detail about the wedding and most importantly she made me feel excited to have her around at our wedding. This was the most important because I felt 100% comfortable with her from the second she arrived to take photos which helped the photos look and feel natural. She flawlessly blended into the event, everyone enjoyed the day without a photographer in their way and she was still able to get the most amazing photos. She was never intrusive and allowed us enjoy the most important moments of the day, the photos taken during those moments are stunning! We, along with our guests have said that usually you tell people the photo doesn't do the moment justice, but Leana has perfectly encapsulated the emotions and beauty of our day. I highly recommend Leana Myra Photography for the most important moments of your life

    From day one Leana was so wonderful to work with. She is very responsive to emails and I never felt left in the dark about anything. She is also the sweetest person. Now let's get to the photos. They are AMAZING!! I wish I could upload them all here because it is so hard to pick a select few to showcase how talented she is. I was blown away by how gorgeous the images are. Leana is also very non-invasive-I never even noticed her during the ceremony and she made everything quick and painless for family and bridal party photos so we could enjoy our reception and our guests. She also whisked us away on a golf cart to take sunset photos at some secret spots at our venue. We love you Leana!

    Leana was so wonderful to work with! My husband and I were both nervous about being photographed, but she made it very easy and comfortable. She was extremely easy to communicate with and even helped me figure out a wedding day timeline to ensure we got all the photos we wanted (including sunset photos on the beach!). She captured the best day of our lives and all its details so beautifully. I highly recommend her!!

    Leana was wonderful. She made taking our photographs such a fun part of our wedding and engagement. She worked well with all of our family and friends which made things go so smoothly. Leana really caught some great candid moments which we will cherish forever. Her positive, bright personality and wonderful artistic product, she was so worth it! We loved our pictures! We would definitely work with her again! She also had really great suggestions for some of our other vendors which we also loved!

    I am so incredibly thankful for Leana and all she did for us on our wedding day. The quality of service she provided is more than I could have asked for, especially given the circumstances in which she was given to shoot!! She stepped in for us last minute as our wedding photographer....literally, the morning of. On a whim, she drove down the coast to save us! Nevertheless- she gave us 110% of her  effort, heart, talent, and support. I wanted to review once id gotten the pictures back because I valued the reviews that can speak to both quality of the day of experience as well as photo quality. Let me just tell you.... THIS is the experience you want from your photographer. Image after image of happy memories and beautiful expressions of our love. She was able to capture the brightest moments from the day and the most true emotions of my heart. I am so forever grateful for these images and they will forever bring a smile to my face.

    Leana played an invaluable role that day and I am so grateful for her. In the midst of the rush that was our wedding day, she helped me to stay present and be able to fully soak in the day, and i bet she doesnt even know how wonderful she was! I will definitely be using Leana for any photography needs in our future and would without question recommend her to any friend or bride  looking for a great all around photographer.

    I am so happy I got to be your photographer. It was such a special day and I am so happy we met beautiful lady, I wish you and your husband everything good in life and love!

    We absolutely loved our photographer, Leana. My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with her. She was very proficient, professional and made us feel extremely comfortable on our big day. Not to mention, her down to earth personality is impeccable! She captured all of the best moments and made our wedding a true fairytale with the gorgeous memories she captured. Everyone has mentioned how amazing the wedding photos are and they are the best they have seen and we truly believe it is because of the highly talented photographer we had. We would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! She also stayed in touch after the wedding and would keep me updated about the pictures and the progress she was making with them. For an anxious bride, ready to see the photos, this was so great. I will forever cherish the beautiful pictures and will be forever greatful for our photographer. We absolutely adore her! You will not find a more perfect photographer for your big day.

    Leana is everything you want in a wedding photographer! She is so easy to work with and makes you feel calm and comfortable! Some photographers block other guests views during the ceremony, or they are a little intrusive because they want to get the shot, which is great but it can take away from the vibe of the day. Leana never did any of that and she still took the most amazing pictures of our day! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else there to capture our moments. She truly is a wonderful person and an amazing photographer!

    From day one, Leana was authentic and genuinely interested in getting to know us. We fell in love with her personality immediately. She was so relaxed and honest about her experience that we felt comfortable to share our questions and vision with her. You can tell she loves her work and adores her couples and their individual stories.

    Every experience we had with her, from the first coffee date, to the engagement shoot, to our wedding day, we felt a whole new level of excitement. She was available and responsive to our emails and texts. She encouraged us through the planning process and always said how much she looked forward to our big day. On top of all that, she was organized and sent us a sample wedding day timeline, as well as a shots list for family/detail photos to make sure nothing was missed.

    Despite our very tight schedule, she made our wedding day flow smoothly and managed to get every shot we wanted, plus a thousand more beautiful ones. Her assistant, Annie, was a joy to be around. Friendly, easy-going and so, so talented! I recommend Looking Glass Photography to anyone who wants no stress, absolutely gorgeous wedding photos, and a photographer that is not just another vendor, but a new sweet friend. Thank you, Leana, for wedding day memories we will never forget!

    Leana is amazing! We are so so so happy with the way our wedding photos came out -- she is truly so talented and professional. We had her take our engagement photos and loved her immediately. Leana is very warm and funny and made us feel totally comfortable right away (even my husband who is pretty awkward in front of a camera :)). She works very quickly and keeps things moving, which we really appreciated on our wedding day so we could have more time with our guests. She captured all the key moments and beautiful details. We couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Leana!
