My couples love that their images blend the effortless ease of candid moments with the elegance of gentle direction—photos that look natural, yet beautifully refined. From joyful black-and-white frames to radiant, colorful portraits, every gallery reflects laughter, romance, and the kind of memories you’ll be eager to relive and share for decades to come.
As a San Luis Obispo wedding photographer covering all of California, I create photographs that feel as genuine as the emotions behind them.
“I’m Leana, a California wedding photographer with over 16 years of experience capturing celebrations that are as radiant as they are meaningful. I photograph with both digital and film, blending the crisp vibrance couples love with the dreamy, nostalgic artistry of film. My goal? To create photographs that feel effortless, iconic, and completely yours.”

Bringing love stories to life is my passion.

"We wanted a photographer who helped us show our personalities and understood our unique vision for our day. Leana helped us relax and made us so comfortable, we loved her personality and her photos are so much more than we ever dreamed of. Our guests still can't stop talking about them!"

"I have always been camera shy and she was able to take photos that made me feel truly beautiful and confident. She gave me so much direction and I am obsessed with my bridal portraits! She was also so caring, supportive, and there for us anytime we reached out. We really felt like Leana was a friend with how much care she gave us."

"Leana has so much talent and she really understood our vision. We knew our wedding memories were too important to trust to someone with less expertise or a trendy style. Leana captured our day in photos that we still are in AWE over! She was so caring talong the way, and just made the entire experience FUN."
Imagine opening your wedding album ten years from now—each page bringing back the laughter, the tears, the love. Imagine showing these photos to your children, your grandchildren...
There’s something timeless about the way film feels. The soft tones, dreamy colors, and delicate grain create a mood that digital alone can’t replicate.
Many of my couples fall in love with the nostalgia of film — how it makes their photographs feel like art, layered with emotion and depth. Blended seamlessly with the clarity of digital, film adds a touch of romance and character to your gallery, making every image feel like a memory already treasured.
