The Most fun You've ever had Taking Photos

i'm Leana and I am glad you are here

 I want to help you feel comfortable, confident and to have FUN. Wether I am helping you plan your timeline, outfits for your engagement photos, showing you how to do a romantic dip or bustling your dress to get you back out on the dance floor- your happiest day ever matters so much to me.

After 15 years my love for wedding photography has only grown. I am obsessed with helping you plan out your day so you have amazing photos without losing time with your loves ones. Family and friends are so important to me, and I know they are to you, too!

In my daily life I'm a mother of teenagers, 2 spoiled cats, and way too many house plants. We all live in a little beach bungalow with a view of the sea and my studio is my own backyard.

If you would like to chat with me and see if we could be a great fit for working together, reach out today! I can't wait to get to know you and hear all about your love story.

I love listening to peoples stories. If I wasn't a photographer I would probably be a writer or journalist- people tell me I am easy to talk to, warm and empathic. I also have a huge sense of humor.

"I examined my own heart and there you were."

Your wedding day shouldn't feel like one big photo shoot. There will be designated times for photos and the rest of the time I will blend into the wall. My goal is to make sure my couples spend as much of their time with their guests as possible.

I give my couples a lot of direction when needed to help them look their best and get the right angles- but I do this in a way that still feels candid, natural and fun.

I love a fun photography trend, but the majority of your wedding photos should be timeless and still relevant in 20 years. Those are the photos you will want to have on your wall and share with your family.

Leana was the best investment we made in our wedding day- HIRE her already! She gave us so much care and support and helped me with things I didn't even know I needed.

This video of our day is so much more than we could have dreamed of.. we are so grateful. I am sitting here crying just watching it over and over- I am so grateful Leana helped me see that I wanted a wedding video after all. People warn you the day goes fast- but honestly it FLIES.

Leana is a superstar of wedding photography. She is a cut way above the rest in her area. We looked for a long time before finding her and we are so glad that we were able to find someone of her caliber and expertise to trust with our memories.

Leana helped up feel so comfortable and was a huge support leading up to our day. She was always just a text away and helped us navigate much of our planning even more than our coordinator at times!
