legacy worthy photos filled with love and emotion

I'm Leana, wedding photographer for romantic souls

I'm a California based fine art wedding photographer with over 15 years spent capturing love stories and honing my craft. My couples love romance, elegance, and are drawn to florals and soft colors. I specialize in events that are focused around guest experience and thoughtful details. I believe in crafting images full of emotion and artistry and provide a high level of excellence in every touch point along the way.
I offer personalized and couture packages, built around your vision and needs. You will be able to fully relive the beauty of your wedding day in magazine worthy, top level images that are unparalleled in their quality and rich with emotion and love. Taking only a limited number of couples per year, you can trust you will receive the attention you need, as I work closely with your wedding planner and vendor team to ensure that my your investment in your memories is fully realized.

"I examined my own heart and there you were."

Your wedding day shouldn't feel like one big photo shoot. This day should be spent with your guests, enjoying each moment, and truly losing yourself in the happiness and love. I help with gentle guidance and support as needed, and be a fly on the wall the rest of the time.

Pre-planning and working with a creative team is the most important part of what I do. I work closely with your wedding planner to ensure your photography is a seamless and stress-free part of your day.

Photography trends come and go, but wedding photos should be beautiful forever. These are photos are part of your family heirlooms and they should be relevant and timeless today and in twenty years from now.

This video of our day is so much more than we could have dreamed of.. we are so grateful. I am sitting here crying just watching it over and over- I am so grateful Leana helped me see that I wanted a wedding video after all. People warn you the day goes fast- but honestly it FLIES.

Leana is a superstar of wedding photography. She is a cut way above the rest in her area. We looked for a long time before finding her and we are so glad that we were able to find someone of her caliber and expertise to trust with our memories.

Leana helped up feel so comfortable and was a huge support leading up to our day. She was always just a text away and helped us navigate much of our planning even more than our coordinator at times!
