Hi, I’m Leana—full-time wedding photographer for over 15 years, fashion lover, cat cuddler, musical theatre enthusiast, amateur chef, vintage treasure hunter, and Jane Austen obsessed. I live for hearing about your love story and helping you have the day of your dreams.
My photography blends natural, documentary-inspired moments with a romantic, editorial magic—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. Images that make you feel the way you do when you watch your favorite romantic movie.
I'm Leana Myra
I’m here to help you feel radiant, at ease, and completely comfortable.
To me, a wedding isn’t just an event. It’s a reflection of your heart.

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.

I didn’t become a wedding photographer just to take beautiful pictures.
I became a wedding photographer to help women see themselves — really see themselves — and fall in love with what they find.
Because I know what it’s like to look in the mirror and not feel good enough.
And I also know what it’s like to finally feel beautiful, not because you’ve changed — but because someone saw the magic that was there all along.
That’s what I do with my camera.
I find the beauty you may not even see yet, and I give it back to you in photographs that feel like love letters.
Romantic wedding photography for women who want to feel beautiful, cherished, and seen.

A California wedding photographer blending editorial elegance with emotion-rich, natural imagery. Serving San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Napa & beyond.
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.

Leana is absolutely amazing!! My husband and I aren't the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she made our engagement session so much fun- we could not wait for her to capture our wedding! She gave us helpful direction but also made she we spent our time immersed in making memories.
""Leana captured our day perfectly- so many photos we knew we wanted and even more we never expected but love so much!"
- carrie and james
Her photos are a dream come true, and we were so amazed at how quickly we got our sneak peek. It was so cool to be able to share them with our friends and family right away."
"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
When we hired Leana we knew we had found such an amazing person and photographer. Right from the start, she really invested herself in our day and getting to know us. Our wedding wad unique and non-traditional in some ways and we loved that Leana cared about the way we wanted it to be."
"Leana made us feel really special and understood, and she listened to our ideas and thoughts."
