Wedding Photography
plus VINTAGE SUPER 8 Films
After 15 years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the most beautiful images begin with an incredible experience. When you feel relaxed, supported, and free to enjoy the people you love, the photographs become so much more meaningful.
My role is to help create a day that feels effortless, joyful, and deeply memorable. I’ll guide you when you want direction, step back when genuine moments are unfolding, and preserve your wedding in a way that is flattering, stylish, and unmistakably personal.
Some couples need a little guidance to look their best. Others care most about preserving the candid moments they never want to forget. Most want both.
I blend gentle direction with a photojournalistic approach so you can have polished portraits and genuine, unscripted moments without spending your day away from the celebration.
Rather than forcing every wedding into one aesthetic, I use whatever best reflects your story—classic portraits, fashion-forward images, bright and colorful digital photographs, the nostalgic beauty of 35mm film, and Super 8.
The result is a collection with true-to-life color, beautiful skin tones, and photographs that feel stylish, meaningful, and unmistakably yours

Testimonials
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.
