You're planning the best day of your lives, and I’m so excited to help you relive it through photos you love.
I'm Leana, a San Luis Obispo–based destination wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience helping couples feel confident, relaxed, and beautiful in front of the camera.
My goal is simple: to help you look incredible in your portraits while still giving you the freedom to truly enjoy your wedding day.
Many of my couples tell me they feel a little camera-shy or unsure what to do when the camera comes out.
I’ll help you know exactly where to stand, what to do with your hands, and how to move so you look confident and beautiful without feeling stiff or overly posed.
My couples tell me I am warm, supportive, and gentle when helping them with portraits- but also assertive and confident when wrangling their families or making sure things stay on time.
I want your day to be everything you dream about- because the best photos come from real moments of joy, making true memories and living in the moment.
When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m the mother of two teenagers and slowly making my way around the world with them. I love exploring new places and experiencing different cultures together.
I’ve always been drawn to fashion, interior design, and cinematic films. I actually began my career as a fashion photographer, using photography to help women feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera.
Weddings bring together everything I love — travel, culture, style, design, incredible food, and the joy of celebrating human connection.

custom wedding albums
And beyond that, there’s no limit to how many images you’ll receive—every meaningful moment, beautifully delivered.
Each album is thoughtfully designed to feel cohesive, elevated, and artful — curated with intention rather than overcrowded. Clean layouts, refined materials, and a timeless aesthetic that complements your home.
Printed on archival-quality paper and crafted to last for generations, your album becomes the final expression of your wedding — something tangible you can return to again and again.
Parent albums and additional copies available.
Each collection includes unlimited images, a beautiful online gallery, 35mm film, and planning with Leana Myra throughout the year.
Collections are customized around your vision and needs, and can be upgraded to include your rehearsal dinner, a custom wedding album, engagement session, assistant photographers, and more.
Years from now, when you look back at these images, I want you to remember how joyful the day felt.
You’ll love the way you look, and you’ll remember what it felt like to be surrounded by everyone you love.
Because the best photos come from a day that was truly enjoyed. Having a photographer you can fully trust allows you to live for the moments- knowing I have your memories covered.

when should we book?
Do you charge travel fees?
do you travel?
Prime wedding dates often reserve up to two years in advance, so I recommend reaching out as soon as your date and venue are secured.
Weekend elopements and micro weddings are only accepted within three months of the wedding date.
There are no travel fees in my collections for weddings inside of the United States. For weddings outside of the USA, I offer thoughtfully curated multi-day coverage designed to fully support destination celebrations.
Based in San Luis Obispo, California, I photograph weddings across the United States and internationally. I happily travel anywhere you care to take me.
regina & Dan
Not only were her photos lovely, but it's clear she really cares about the people she works with. 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. I could text her anytime and she was incredibly responsive. We interviewed several other photographers, but no one felt as warm, genuine or as enthusiastic as Leana."
"Leana shot both our engagement photos and our wedding and I will just say we felt undeniably lucky to have found her.
testimonials
Araceli & Daniel
Before the wedding she would gladly give me advice, make me feel excited and confident every time I shared a detail about the wedding and most importantly she made me feel excited to have her around at our wedding. This was the most important because I felt 100% comfortable with her from the second she arrived to take photos. She flawlessly blended into the event- she was never intrusive and allowed us enjoy the most important moments of the day, the photos taken during those moments are stunning!"
"Leana went above and beyond my expectations with her photography but also with her warm and genuinely caring personality.
jessica & jack
From the very beginning, she was organized, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. She helped with planning, stayed on top of communication, and made the whole process feel simple and stress-free.
We’ve received nonstop compliments on our photos. People are still talking about them. If you want someone who genuinely cares, knows exactly what she’s doing, and goes above and beyond, she’s the one you want with you on your wedding day.
"We cannot say enough good things about the Leana- she far exceeded our expectations.
