Allison Sent on 08/22/2023Talented and magical!
Working with Leslie was an absolute dream. Of all our vendors, she really stood out for always being personable and professional, on top of her talents as a photographer.
Throughout the planning process, Leslie consulted with us to schedule our family and couples photos into our wedding timeline to ensure we could make the most of our day. We decided down the road to have her shoot our rehearsal day as well, and couldn't be happier with our decision. Even amidst a few unexpected downpours, Leslie's professionalism and experience shined, as she was able to adapt and help us get in the shots we wanted.
She's a true joy to have around and made us feel at ease during both our engagement shoot and wedding weekend. She even got previews to us within 24 hours, which blew us away. I would 1000% recommend Leslie to any Maine couples looking for a fun and caring photographer to capture the magic of their day! -

Down to earth with a warm hug (that’s how we describe our experience with Leslie!)
Leslie was truly a dream to work with from start to finish. She was recommended by our wedding planners after we described wanting a more photojournalism style of photos with a refreshing personality. Leslie was the perfect fit. She started us off with an amazing welcome chat and after we did our engagement shoot we were smitten. She makes the sometimes awkward feeling of getting photographed feel effortless and even fun and was even able to get amazing photos of our pup (not an easy job!) And while we were never worried about how our photos would turn out, we were blown away with the final outcome. She truly brought our big day to life again with every image and captured the essence we were hoping to preserve. We can’t rave about Leslie more and can’t wait for more sessions in the future.Leslie Swan Photography's reply:
Lenore, I am so touched! Your positive attitude made my job easy and I loved every minute of working with you both. Sending you love and I can't wait for our next session! -

Exceeded expectations!
Look no further than, Leslie!! One of the best decisions we made during wedding planning was hiring this incredible artist to photograph our special day. Leslie took my many calls to ensure that our timeline was down to the minute in order to capture the "golden light". Her calm, kind and professional demeanor had me at ease from the moment we first connected. Leslie's photojournalistic style ensured that every tiny moment was captured without the guests or the wedding party being overwhelmed with photos. Leslie is one of a kind and I still get tears in my eyes when I look at how beautifully she captured our wedding. You won't regret hiring Leslie and neither will your bank account because she is VERY fairly priced, unlike others. -

Amazing Photographer and Wedding Cheerleader
I cannot express how much we enjoyed working with Leslie. She was SO organized, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. She took the time to meet with us and discuss our vision for the day including a list of 'must have shots' and even took inspiration from our Pinterest board. On the day of our wedding, Leslie was a joy to work with. For our group shots, she was fun and brought a lot of great energy that kept everyone smiling. She captured wonderful candid moments as well as stunning portraits. My husband and I still flip through our photos and talk about how they capture the love and spirit of the day. Leslie is so wonderful to work with and we could not imagine our wedding memories in the hands of anyone else! -

Leslie is outstanding to work with. I am beyond lucky to have worked with her and I can't wait for the next time we see her again! The ability Leslie has to capture the moment and emotions in her photographs is truly breathtaking. She made my husband and I feel so special on our wedding day. She is a great listener and can work with a crowd naturally. Her photos are warm, romantic and she understands angles like no one else. She's wildly talented and an amazing person, I can't recommend her enough. -

(Leslie shot our lakeside wedding in Maine last October.) From the first meeting where we discussed our vision, Leslie worked with a brilliant combination of sincerity and professionalism that gave us the utmost confidence that she was the right person for us. She is easy to talk to, highly experienced, and has exceptional attention to detail. These traits made the planning process very simple, yielding a detailed plan for the day and what our top priority pictures were. When Leslie arrived on the wedding day, her presence felt very natural, which was especially important to us as we had a small ( -

Leslie was amazing!!!
Leslie was absolutely a dream to work with throughout the entire process. We met with her for a few engagement photos a few months ahead of the wedding. Working with her was completely natural- neither of us is particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Leslie helped us feel completely at ease. During the wedding, she seemed to be everywhere at once! Many of my guests remarked that she was almost a mind-reader, showing up exactly at the right moment to capture the joy of the evening. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and looking through them I felt all the same emotions from the day itself. Thank you Leslie!!! -

Leigh M. Sent on 10/06/2019The most talented photographer and sweetest person ever!
Leslie is amazing! Her style, attention to detail, cheerful attitude and overall sweetness made our experience perfect. And the photos are incredible - everyone, even the pickiest of guests, is thrilled with her shots. They are stunning! She handled everything with grace and was exactly the type of person you want nearby on your wedding day: calm, thoughtful, sweet. She was on the go non-stop and didn't miss a moment. Our only regret: we wish we booked her for the whole weekend with family, not just the big day. We'll absolutely recommend her to friends and think of her for other life moments. Don't hesitate to book her! -

My Fiancé and I hired Leslie for both engagement photos and our wedding. We had such a fun time taking engagement photos with Leslie - she is so energetic and fun and creative. We love how the photos turned out. Unfortunately, due to COVID, we had to rework our wedding and won't be able to use Leslie but she was extremely gracious as we negotiated cancelling the contract. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in New England who wants natural, beautiful, emotion-evoking photos. -

Saying that Leslie is a phenomenal photographer somehow doesn't seem to describe just how talented she is.
Leslie's photography manages to capture the magic and feeling of our wedding. She uses warm colors and creative framing that incorporates the landscape around us into the wedding, which was so important for us, given that we chose our wedding location based on the beautiful backdrop that it provided for us. Her photos are style are unique- she avoids the cliches that dominate so much of modern wedding photography. She gave us an album of photos that feel truly special, as if there are no others like it in the world.
We were so thrilled to work with Leslie through the whole process of getting married. She cut through the stress and brought my wife back to a place of fun and joy. It was like working with a close friend through the entire process.
I cannot say enough good things about Leslie and her work. She should absolutely and without a doubt be at the top of anyone's list for a photography for their own special occasions, and should my wife and I ever need another photographer for future special days, she will be the first person that we will reach out to. I hope that you reach out to her, too! -

Simply Amazing
Leslie is truly an amazing and gifted photographer! We had the pleasure of working with Leslie for our engagement shoot and our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable from the start and her photos perfectly captured our love for each other and how special our day really was. There were so many wedding plans that did not go as expected in 2020, but I knew after the first conversation I had with Leslie that she had to be apart of it. If you are looking for photos that you and your family will cherish forever, look no further, Leslie is your girl! -

Excellent!!!
I only have positive things to saw about Leslie. She is laid back, professional, and takes amazing photographs. We really appreciated her flexibility given our date and venue changed several times. We got both our engagement and wedding photos taken by her which were very amazing as well as affordable. She was prompt in providing previews and the digital gallery. She’s easy to work with, captures all the best moments, and is such a sweet person! I would recommend her to anyone!Leslie Swan Photography's reply:
Julie, I only have positive things to say about you and Mike! You two were a joy to work with, and I am honored to have captured such a special time of your lives. Thank you for your kind words- they mean so much. -

Leslie was such a phenomenal part of our mini-wedding experience that we want her to come back in 2 years for our larger reception! She was so flexible during our months of date changes with COVID and provided us such meaningful photojournalistic pictures that have allowed us to re-live the emotions! Her photos are truly pieces of art, and we are so lucky to have found her. I would (and have) recommended her to my friends, and sincerely hope you consider using her for your special event. You will not regret it! -

Dallas H. Sent on 08/28/2019Best Photographer Ever!
We were lucky enough to book Leslie as our photographer for our wedding in July. We had a very small, intimate wedding with just our parents in Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor, Maine. I don't think it would have been possible for any other photographer to capture this special day as well as she did. We'd spoken prior to the wedding about the style of pictures we were looking for and she did delivered that and some! We received so many compliments on how well the pictures turned out. We had many people comment that they looked like they were something out of a magazine, and I attribute all of the to her skills and style of photography. Not only are her pictures amazing, but she was also wonderful to work with. She is a very kind and enthusiastic individual, who has a genuine desire to get to know her clients and deliver top notch work. We enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend using her to capture all of your special moments. -

The most surreal photos of my life
Leslie is pure magic. Her photos give me chills, every single one. She sees people and places differently than most run of the mill wedding photographers - she is truly an artist. Her photos are moody in all the right ways and really encapsulate the people in the photo but also the magic of the setting. I can't say enough good things about her approach to our wedding day and how diligent she was throughout the whole process. She was able to wrangle 40+ people for a group photo and that takes serious skill. She is so lovely to work with and beautiful inside and out. She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Thank you Leslie for capturing all the best moments of our wedding day!Leslie Swan Photography's reply:
Abbey, you are one of the most amazing brides I have worked with and I am so honored by your words. Thank you for truly trusting me and giving me the great joy of capturing your day. I love you two and wish you all the best! -
