Destination photographer for hopeless romantics and fashion forward couples
I’m Leana Myra, a certifiable hopeless romantic, fashion-obsessed, world-traveler, and the founder and lead photographer of Leana Myra Photography.
With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of weddings I have mastered the art of capturing images that truly showcase the excitement of your guests and the romance of your love for each other.
I understand the pressure that comes with planning a wedding wether large or small. There’s so much to consider and balance — creating something that your loved ones enjoy but also reflects you as a couple.
Making photography a seamless and easy part of your experience is my first priority. I’m here to make sure your images have the wow factor your wedding deserves, and that you have another friend in your corner for support.
If we team up together, consider me your ride or die, all the way.

I can't imagine anyone else capturing my wedding! Leana was a true joy during the entire process. From the moment we booked with her, she jumped in and helped us. It really wowed us just how much she cared and was there for us during wedding planning."
"SHE CAPTURED ALL THE BIG THINGS, BUT somehow WAS ABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH THE MOST precious IN BETWEEN moments AS WELL."
- Sophia
Not only is she the kindest human, Leana was a true joy during the entire process. Not only did she capture the most precious moments for my family and I, but she really felt like an old friend. I have always been camera shy and she was able to take photos that made me feel truly beautiful!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE INCREDIBLE moments SHE WAS ABLE TO capture! HIRE leana TODAY!

"We looked long and hard for our photographer, trying to find someone with the style and caliber we wanted. While Leana wasn't the cheapest photographer around, she was worth every single cent we invested. We knew our wedding memories were too important to trust to just anyone. Her photos exceeded our dreams and then some!"
"literal perfection. so many happy tears and photos we will treasure forever. leana is the best investment we made."
