"We are SO so thrilled with our images!"

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. SHE IS APPROACHABLE AND RESPONDS VERY QUICKLY!

HER PHOTOS ARE BREATHTAKING--FULL OF JOY AND MOVEMENT. SHE GOT US OUR FIRST 200 EDITED PHOTOS WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF OUR WEDDING. HIRE HER!!


Rachel + Spencer

"She felt like a friend to us!"

SHE WAS SO INVESTED IN EVERYTHING ALONG THE WAY, FROM HELPING ME PICK OUT OUTFITS FOR OUR ENGAGEMENT SHOOT TO THE TIMELINE FOR THE WEDDING.

WE INTERVIEWED SEVERAL OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT NO ONE FELT AS WARM, GENUINE OR AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS LEANA. IT FELT LIKE A FRIEND WAS THERE TAKING OUR PICTURES, NOT JUST A VENDOR.
