Hi, I’m Leana—full-time wedding photographer for over 15 years, art devotee, cat cuddler, musical theatre enthusiast, amateur chef, vintage treasure hunter, and Jane Austen obsessed. I live for quiet mornings with a cup of tea, long conversations, and the kind of beauty that feels like it belongs in a novel.
My photography blends natural, documentary-inspired moments with a romantic, editorial edge—think soft light, real connection, and an effortless sense of style. I don’t believe in stiff posing or cheesy prompts. Instead, I guide my couples gently, so they can relax into each moment and feel like the best version of themselves.
The result? Photographs that feel true—elegant, emotional, and alive with meaning. The kind of images you’ll want to frame, pass down, and revisit for years to come.
My couples often tell me they felt like I was more than their photographer — that I became a trusted friend.
And that’s exactly how I see it.
I don’t just show up on your wedding day. I walk with you every step of the way.
I help you plan your timeline, calm your nerves, perfect your posing, and pick confetti out of your veil. I’m there with a plan, a backup plan, and emotional support when you need it most. I’m the one who’ll hold your hand, fix your hair, bustle your gown, and make sure the whole experience feels seamless — and even fun.
Because I believe your wedding photography shouldn’t feel like a photoshoot. It should feel like joy. Like movement. Like a golden hour daydream where you felt beautiful, seen, and completely in love.

My photography style is true-to-color, soft, and elegant — always flattering, never trendy.
I focus on glowing skin tones, natural light, and clean, artistic composition that stands the test of time. I want your photos to feel as beautiful in 20 years as they do today. That’s why I avoid fads, filters, and editing that distorts what your day actually looked like.
Because your wedding is already beautiful.
You are already beautiful.
And my job is to show you exactly that — with honesty, artistry, and heart.
