    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!

    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 :)

    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!!!!

    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!

    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 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.

    Fun, Responsive, Amazing!!

    I just got my pictures back from my first photo shoot with Leigh and the photos are AMAZING!
    Leigh has been such a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive which is very helpful when you are planning a wedding and trying to coordinate a million things. She was a blast to work with and kept me laughing the entire photo shoot and her photos are so beautiful! She was able to capture the beautiful scenery and also the love between my fiancé and I. I highly recommend her!! I can’t wait for our wedding!

    HIGHLY recommend!!!!

    For me, when it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, there should be NO question who you should pick!! Leigh photographed my sister's wedding in May of 2018 and when we got engaged there was no question who we would choose. Even though we got married in the Annapolis, MD area and she is from the VA Beach area, she traveled here to photograph our special day. Everyone who attended our wedding commented how amazing our photos are, how fun Leigh and Kiki were to be around and how they captured every detail of our big day. The photos are how you will remember your wedding and we have absolutely gorgeous photos to remember ours!

    Book leigh!

    Leigh is hands down the most entertaining and talented photographer to work with. We found Leigh through a friend and were so enamored with her fun and spirited personality, she was one of the very first vendors we booked without a second thought. Whether scaling walls or stopping traffic, Leigh was always willing to go above and beyond for that one epic photo. Leigh (and Kiki!) made the entire photo experience on our wedding day incredibly straight forward and kept us entertained non-stop. These two ladies were so much fun to have around while still getting tons of amazing shots of the entire night, I can’t imagine anyone else delivering the same experience Leigh and Kiki provided.

    May 2019 Wedding

    WITHOUT A DOUBT, Leigh Skaggs photography was the best investment we made for our wedding day! Leigh will help customize the wedding timeline and family shots for everything to run smoothly and make sure your getting the most out of your wedding day pictures!

    Leigh and her assistant Kiki have this undeniable sense of fun and passion that make any situation more relaxed and help you feel at home. Working with Leigh, she is a TRUE artist capturing not just beautiful wedding portraits, but unguarded moments of pure happiness and love! I want to thank you again Leigh - for letting Michael and I be ourselves on this important day, and finding the authentic and intimate emotions we shared together. The photographs are timeless, romantic, and exactly how we wanted our most precious day to be remembered. Forever grateful!

    Passionate, Flexible, Determined, Quick, AMAZING

    WOW! Leigh and her team made our wedding day complete and we are very pleased with all the photographs! Leigh is a very hands on person and is not afraid to do ANYTHING to get that perfect shot...even if it means laying wet/muddy grass to get the perfect moon shot under the tree and stars after send-off :) I heard of Leigh as she was the photographer at my friends wedding and she took an amazing picture in the RAIN and we not afraid to stop because of the rain, equipment and all. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but it had been raining all day and we were close to moving it indoors. I asked her if she wouldn't mind shooting in the rain for our ceremony and she said absolutely not! The rain ended up letting up a little and it couldn't have been more perfect, but she was more than willing and prepared to get a little wet! Her team works amazingly together and kept the wedding day and bridal party moving and on time. Not only were the pictures AMAZING, but she is also very easy to communicate with and responds to EVERY question quickly and respectfully. We absolutely LOVED having Leigh and her team (Devon, and Kiki) as a part of our wedding :D oh and in-between shots, Leigh is not afraid to get down and dance!

    Talented photographer and FUN to work with

    Leigh is not only a very talented photographer, but her and her team are super fun to work with. She shot our engagement photos and our wedding. She made my husband and I feel very comfortable and she was incredibly flexible with our requests. Our wedding started late and she still managed to keep our photo timeline on track and get some amazing shots. She also got our wedding photos back to us so quickly! I think she is very reasonably priced for the packages she offers. I would hands down recommend Leigh to all couples looking for a professional, talented and FUN photographer to work with.

    Best ever!

    When it comes to wedding planning, there's so many decisions and choices to be made. Who to use as a photographer to capture our special day was not a decision we had to make. Hands down, it would be Leigh Skaggs!! Leigh has photographed many weddings I have been in and attended. Not to mention following along those friends and family members after their weddings for maternity photos, newborn shots, and family portraits. Her work is simply phenomenal. She is quick to respond, professional, yet fun and personable making you feel comfortable even in awkward or intimate moments. If you don't know how to pose or what to do with your hands like me, don't worry, she will show you and then she'll go above and beyond to get the best angle for the shot. We booked Leigh for our wedding date, Sept 15th. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Florence my husband and I had to make a difficult decision to postpone our wedding to a later date - Oct 27. Devastated we had to change our plans, but grateful for one another, we still decided to wed that day on the beach with family and friends. Leigh was available for our reschedule date, but knew we planned to still marry on that Sept day and have our reception in Oct. Out of the kindness of her heart, she showed up at the beach and took incredible pictures of our ceremony. Her and her other shooters killed it again in Oct capturing every detail of our day from getting ready, to our first look, bridal party shots, family pictures, from dancing to our send off. Thank you for being apart of BOTH our special days.

    Leigh is a shining star, and we could not imagine our wedding day without her! Our bridal party adored her and had so much fun taking photos. She was efficient and organized, immediately answering our many questions from day one and running the wedding day photos like a champ. We clicked right away, and she made our engagement shoot feel effortless. On the actual wedding day, her team was on it from the moment they arrived, capturing every little detail. She wasn't afraid to lie down in the middle of the street for the perfect shot! She even had our photos back to us in less than three weeks, which we were so impressed with! We are so glad we took the time to find a photographer that we loved.

    When we talked to Leigh, from the very beginning we had an instant connection and a good vibe from her. When we decided to host a destination wedding the most important aspect for my, regarding vendors was the photographer and I wanted to make sure Leigh would come with us to Jamaica. When she said YES to the trip, LOL, we were super excited to have her with use, she is really easy to work with, cool, laid back, professional, she knows what she is doing.

    She is worth every penny for the quality of her work and her personality which is a plus when working with a vendor.

    We are pleased with her work and she will be forever our family photographer. Thanks Leigh for everythign you are awesome!!!! xoxoxo

    Hold on while I break out my thesaurus, I want to use every possible adjective for awesome to describe Leigh. From the very first email she was always prompt to respond and she was just as quick in getting us our gorgeous photos. She and her second shooter (husband Jay) were a ton of fun! We would not have taken engagement photos if she hadn’t insisted and I am so glad that she did! They are stunning (and it turns out that we needed the practice before the wedding). Leigh helped us with the day of timeline and was on top of every moment from pre-ceremony to reception. She takes photos that really capture the people and their emotions, there’s no forced silliness. This is the best investment you can make when planning a wedding so choose Leigh!

    Leigh and her husband are a phenomenal team and down right nice people!! They were worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. They were fun to work with and went above and beyond their duty. There were some issues with other staff and Leigh Skaggs Photography jumped right in and took control from the moment they arrived. Without them, I do not know how our day would have went! Additionally, they were great with friends and family who needed some guidance as tow here to go, how to stand, etc... The pictures are absolutely beautiful; more than I ever imagined. They look like they belong in a magazine!! They met every one of my requests and more. Her delivery time was very quick too (way sooner than I imagined). I highly recommend them to anyone in need!!

    There are not enough words in the English vocabulary to describe how amazing Leigh and Jay are! Every single one of my wedding photography dreams were granted, AND THEN SOME! Not only did Leigh travel to Cancun, Mexico to photograph my entire wedding weekend, they blended right in like they were family. My friends and family still talk about how professional they both were, while still be able to kick back and relax, just like they were part of the family. One situation we all still talk about it how AMAZING Leigh and Jay are with going with the flow. My flower girls were getting pretty grumpy after the ceremony just when we wanted to take group shots. Leigh was literally not even phased at all, she worked with them and made them laugh and took amazing shots all while doing it. She made it look so effortless and easy. One quality about Leigh and Jay that also resonated with my husband and I, was there ability to stay calm, low stress and remain so positive and happy during the whole weekend. They make it feel so relaxed, they are truly professionals but they have a "we got this" vibe that just puts everything at ease. I can go on and on about Leigh and Jay but what proves it all, is the RESULT. There is not one photo that I do not absolutely love. Leigh takes risks with photos and she has no fear! I got into the water with my wedding dress for a post wedding day shoot and she was right there with me! In her bathing suit! Another quality about the way they shoot, they NEVER make it feel forced or awkward. You want to be happy and laugh because they are so funny and so care free! It makes it actually fun! Choosing Leigh and Jay to be a part of my wedding in Mexico was the best decision I made and I was in literal tears when I saw the finished product. Once your wedding is over, all you have left are your photos to keep the memory. Hiring Leigh and Jay was worth every penny and I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!!

    Leigh was an absolute joy to work with as our wedding photographer. She has a way of making any person feel comfortable behind the camera, especially someone like myself who is not a huge fan of pictures! My husband and I knew Leigh was right for us because her go with the flow attitude and bubbly personality fit right in with our family & friends. Our wedding guests and bridal party were very impressed with Leigh's professionalism, but also her ability to have fun. She has a way of making you feel calm and relaxed on one of the most exciting/stressful/overwhelming days of your life! My husband and I are SO happy that we chose Leigh for our wedding. The pictures turned out SO beautiful. My husband and I cried tears of joy when we received our wedding album. We didn't hire a videographer, so these pictures were all we had left of the wedding. Leigh captured our day perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer! She is brilliant at what she does and puts her clients first. THANK YOU LEIGH! Tyler and I will forever be grateful for everything you did for us on our special day. YOU & JAY ARE AMAZING!

    Stop searching, you have found your photographer!! We absolutely loved working with Leigh (and husband Jay)! From the start Leigh was so easygoing. My husband and I had our engagement session with them while they were on THEIR vacation in NYC. They are too kind for letting us steal them away for a bit! We knew from the second we met them that they would be great and couldn't wait to see them again! Leigh is the perfect combination of fun and serious. She knows how and when to use both! Our bridal party was about 24 people plus little ones, and she handled the big group like a champ! During our ceremony you would have never noticed Leigh was there capturing the most beautiful photos - and during the reception, you would have thought she was a guest (in the best way)! Leigh got right in the action of the dancing and partying, and was able to capture images that perfectly described us and our day. I cried at how beautiful the photos turned out when I saw them. I can't thank her and Jay enough for not only the incredible photos we have that will last a lifetime, but for being by far the best people we had the privilege of working with! Also, Leigh and Jay are #marriagegoals. Love love love them!
