Hi, I’m Leana. I’ve photographed weddings full-time for over 15 years, and I am still obsessed with them. Weddings bring together everything I love—family, culture, style, romance, even a little bit of sexy!
From morning prep to the final song, I’m there to capture it all: the champagne toasts, quiet moments with parents, and yes—even your grandma owning the dance floor. My approach blends candid moments with elegant, fashion magazine style portraits that feel easy and natural. The result? A gallery that reflects your day with clarity, beauty, and intention—without ever pulling you away from the fun.
Every bride deserves to feel gorgeous, confident, and celebrated. Every groom deserves to feel comfortable and relaxed. My favorite thing is helping you feel your best—and capturing it in a way that feels natural, joyful, and true to who you are.
A calm, supportive presence. Gentle direction. Real connection. And photos you’ll fall in love with—again and again. You get to relax, be present, and soak it all in. I’ll take care of the memories.

I don’t follow editing fads or chase trends that won’t last. You won’t find odd sepia filters, blurry photos, or scattered flatlays with no real meaning. My work is intentional—focused on genuine moments, flattering portraits, and the kind of artistry that holds up over time. Decades from now, your photos will still look stunning—and your kids won’t be laughing at them.
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I’m here to make sure you live it. With gentle guidance and intentional planning, I’ll capture everything—without pulling you away from the magic happening around you. Outside of planned portraits, you won't even know I am there most of the time.

Your photos should be flattering, effortless, and truly lasting—with no trends, no stress, and no forgotten moments.

"WORKING WITH LEANA IS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM. SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND--NOT JUST WITH HER PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT ALSO WITH GETTING TO KNOW YOU AS A COUPLE.
- heather and jason
Right from the start, she really invested herself in our day and getting to know us. Our wedding was unique and non-traditional and we loved that Leana cared about the way we wanted it to be."
