About

Your love story is unique and you want your photographs to reflect that. As your wedding photographer, I value that deeply and want the photos I take to capture your true spirit. I love the energy of weddings and recording moments as they come. My goal is for you to feel natural, and comfortable while I create beautiful portraits that embody your connection. I avoid stiff posing in favor of honest embraces, and time for you to experience your day. My shooting style is mostly photojournalistic, but I help guide you when needed. At the end of the day, I want your photographs to encapsulate the way you felt, and overall atmosphere of your celebration.

Talented 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.

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.

I recently had the privilege of working with Leslie at a lovely outdoor Bed and Breakfast wedding and she was a true gem! Leslie is sweet, personable and easy going all while getting the job done taking amazing pictures. Her sweet nature made my job as a wedding planer super easy. Leslie is fabulous with her couples too; making them feel relaxed in front of the camera. Leslie has a very calming nature that puts everyone at ease. Her face was always bright with a lovely smile and I would enjoy the opportunity to work with her again. You're a delight Leslie!
