photos filled with candid moments and joy
I'm Leana, and i can't wait to meet you
I’ve spent the last 15 years as a wedding photographer capturing love stories with authenticity, artistry, and heart. My goal is to create images that go beyond just “pretty” photos—they’re emotional, personal, and full of the unexpected moments that make your day so special. I want you to relive the joy, laughter, and connection of your wedding day every time you look at your photos.
I pride myself on getting to know you and what matters most to you. This helps me capture your wedding day exactly as it unfolds—without awkward, staged poses. Whether it’s that candid laugh, a shared glance, or the tender moment during your vows, I’ll be there to document it all in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and full of meaning.
Based in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, I travel throughout California to work with couples who want their wedding day captured from start to finish—whether that’s the excitement before you walk down the aisle or the energy of your last dance. I’m known for being fun, warm, and easy to work with. I genuinely care about making sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your day, and I go above and beyond to ensure your timeline runs smoothly and your photos reflect the beauty of your unique connection.
On your wedding day, I’ll be the friendly, attentive photographer who’s always ready to help—and I’m easy to reach whenever you need me. Let’s work together to make sure you have a gallery full of memories that make you smile, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two.

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.
