Amazing wedding photos begin with an amazing experience. Through thoughtful planning, gentle direction, and an understanding of when to step in and when to step back, Leana becomes a seamless part of your celebration rather than something that takes you away from it.

The most memorable photographs begin long before the shutter clicks. They begin with trust. With feeling comfortable enough to be yourself. With knowing you're supported, cared for, and free to be fully present on one of the most important days of your life.

Beautiful Photos begin with the way you feel in a moment

Everything I do, I do with a smile.

From helping you look your best to wrangling family members and keeping the day running smoothly, my goal is simple: to help you feel relaxed, confident, and fully present on your wedding day.

After more than 17 years of photographing weddings, I'm here to tell you that you don't need to be a model to look incredible in photographs. Beautiful images come from feeling comfortable, cared for, and free to be yourself.

My couples are looking for a thoughtful balance of candid moments and editorial portraits. They want to be fully immersed in their celebration, laughing with friends, hugging family members, and soaking in every moment with the people they love, knowing their memories are being beautifully preserved as they experience them.

At the same time, they appreciate intentional portraits that capture the style, romance, and excitement of the day. They see photography as part of the experience itself—a chance to celebrate this season of life, document the details they've poured their hearts into, and create beautiful images that feel both effortless and elevated.

My work blends the clean, vibrant beauty of digital photography with the nostalgic character and artistry of film. The result is a gallery filled with color, emotion, personality, and beauty—images that allow you to revisit not only how your wedding day looked, but how it felt to live it.

LEANA MYRA

Leana is a destination wedding photographer based in California, serving celebrations worlwide

Collections are fully custom. No two weddings are alike- each collection is built for you. 

more about my collections

Based in San Luis Obispo, California, I spend most of my year photographing weddings throughout California, with a special love for vineyard, estate, and garden celebrations.

Many of my couples are drawn to the feeling of a destination wedding without leaving home. They choose beautiful outdoor settings, breathtaking scenery, and thoughtfully designed experiences that allow their guests to slow down, connect, and celebrate together.

I offer both wedding day and full weekend coverage for couples who want to preserve more than just the wedding itself. From welcome parties and rehearsal dinners to farewell brunches and everything in between, my goal is to capture the complete story of your experience—the people, the atmosphere, the anticipation, and all the moments that make the weekend uniquely yours.

Jessica & Greg

"Leana guided us and made it feel so fun and easy. We really do look like we belong in a magazine.

My husband and I were at a romantic dinner in Spain and could hardly look up from our phones since the photos were really that freaking good.

Kristen & Jack

"Leana made me feel so beautiful, cared about, and comfortable.

We both look back on our pictures daily and can’t help but smile. I would recommend Leana to anyone who wants a wedding photographer who can help them know how to look their best while also capturing the emotions of the day."


Couples love film and Super 8 films because they are perfectly imperfect- the images are raw, honest, candid, and somehow even sweeter because of it.
