welcome, i'm leana
I’m here to help you feel beautiful, at ease, and have the most amazing day ever.
Hi, I’m Leana—and I’m here to make sure you feel confident, beautiful, and completely present on your wedding day. With a calm, joyful approach, I help you stay relaxed while creating polished, heartfelt images you’ll love for decades.
My couples say I’m quick to respond, endlessly helpful, and a peaceful presence in the middle of a big, emotional day. I’ll guide you with gentle direction, keep the timeline flowing, and celebrate right alongside you—so your wedding feels like your dream come true.
I photograph weddings across California, specializing in light-filled, feminine images that blend elegance with real connection. Whether you’re planning a vineyard weekend or a stylish estate affair, I’m here to capture it all with grace, warmth, and intention.
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.

my MOTTOS
candid moments
save your date
Your photos should be flattering, effortless, and truly lasting—with no trends, no stress, and no forgotten moments.
I believe:
- The second you slip into your gown and see yourself glowing in the mirror
- That emotional father-daughter first look
- The way your partner looks at you when you aren’t watching
- A quiet golden hour escape, just the two of you, dancing through the vines
- That spontaneous burst of laughter when someone says, “This is so you.”
images that capture your moments big and small- and make you look darn good, too.
you deserve photos that you will treasure forever

"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."
