“You want to feel beautiful, relaxed, and comfortable on your wedding day—I’m here to make that happen with romantic, joyful, and authentic photography that captures you at your best.
I am a San Luis Obispo based destination wedding photographer for over 15 years of covering beautiful weddings for couples throughout California.
I’m Leana—an experienced wedding photographer based on California’s Central Coast, serving San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and beyond. For over 15 years, I’ve helped couples feel calm, confident, and completely themselves on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
I believe the best wedding photos don’t just look beautiful—they feel like you. That’s why I take a relaxed, natural approach that allows you to be present, soak up every moment, and celebrate without feeling like you’re on a photoshoot all day.
My style blends the ease of candid connection with the elegance of editorial imagery. You’ll walk away with iconic portraits and real, joyful moments—captured in soft light and true-to-life tones that will still take your breath away decades from now.
Whether you're planning a garden ceremony under the oaks or a full wine country weekend with your favorite people, I’ll be by your side to guide you gently, capture every detail effortlessly, and create space for you to just enjoy being in love.

- Lisa and tom
I’m still in awe of our wedding gallery. Leana captured everything—the romance, the joy, the soft light, the way my dress moved. Every image feels like it belongs in a magazine, but still looks completely like us. Our friends and family keep saying our wedding looked like a fairytale—and I know it’s because of how Leana documented it. I couldn’t be more grateful. "
"Her photos felt like something out of a storybook—romantic, timeless, and full of emotion. From the moment we saw them I knew she was the right one. "
- 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! If you are planning a California wedding, Leana is your best investment."
