Meet Leana
photographer + Photo educator
Most couples are searching for wedding photos as joyful as the day he asked you to marry him and as soft as a tenderly whispered “I love you.” But did you know that, with the right photographer, beautiful photos aren’t the only thing you’ll receive?

You can have an effortless, stress-melting experience, too!

By revolutionizing the way couples flow through the planning process, I smooth speed bumps and make preparation a breeze. From the detailed wedding day photography timeline we create during your consultation to the way I collaborate with your planner, I concentrate on the tough stuff so you can simply enjoy the ride.

"Leana captured our day perfectly"
LEANA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! MY HUSBAND AND I AREN'T THE MOST COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA, BUT SHE MADE THE EXPERIENCE SO ENJOYABLE AND WE COULDN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH HER AGAIN FOR OUR WEDDING.
OUR WEDDING PHOTOS ARE UNREAL! THEY ARE WHIMSICAL, STUNNING AND TRULY CAPTURE OUR LOVE.

"We are SO so thrilled with our images!"
WORKING WITH LEANA IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND--NOT JUST WITH HER PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT ALSO WITH GETTING TO KNOW YOU AS A COUPLE. SHE IS APPROACHABLE AND RESPONDS VERY QUICKLY!
HER PHOTOS ARE BREATHTAKING--FULL OF JOY AND MOVEMENT. SHE GOT US OUR FIRST 200 EDITED PHOTOS WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF OUR WEDDING. HIRE HER!!
Rachel + Spencer
"She felt like a trusted friend!"
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.
WE INTERVIEWED SEVERAL OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT NO ONE FELT AS WARM, GENUINE OR AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS LEANA. IT FELT LIKE A FRIEND WAS THERE TAKING OUR PICTURES, NOT JUST A VENDOR.
