Haley and Christopher are two of the sweetest and most genuine souls I have ever met. Haley is a former ballerina and Christopher loves the sax, and so it made sense their Paso Robles wedding was full of dancing, live music, and laughter.

The Santa Barbara zoo is one of the most unique weddings in all of California. It's such lush and natural garden surrounded by the sounds of nature, and overlooking the Pacific ocean with stunning views. Guests can feed giraffes during cocktail hour and dance the night away in the palm trees.

Aubrey and Jordan's wedding felt like stepping into a fairytale. Looking out over Santa Barbara from the Moxi Museum of Innovation's pristine white viewing tower and rootftop, guests were delighted by glass like acrylic chairs, white roses everywhere you looked, and thousands of candles. Aubrey was a true Cinderella in her beautiful layered princess gown and Jordan was truly her dashing prince, sweeping her off her feet.

What could be sweeter than spending a day together strolling through a picturesque downtown, holding hands as you walk through the mission district in San Luis Obispo, and exploring the shops together! Follow this up with a delicious picnic by the lake as the sun sets, sipping champagne and laughing, eating strawberries and stealing kisses.
An engagement session that is a romantic date, with me tagging along as the third wheel with a camera, is always my favorite kind!

Ysra and Miguel flew into Santa Barbara for a spontaneous engagement session at the stunning Ritz Carlton Bacara. Ysra, looking gorgeous in a classic white dress and Manolo Blahnik heels, was a vision of beauty. We explored the resort, then headed to the iconic Santa Barbara Courthouse for photos. We ended the day with a sunset stroll along the beach.

Nicole had no idea that she was about to get proposed to! She believed she was modeling for me just for fun with her boyfriend Aiden. The secret was this was actually their proposal!
We spent the afternoon exploring the beautiful Chateau and hillside tower, changing into a series of beautiful dresses and drinking champagne, snacking on grapes and macaroons, and when sunset was close, Aiden dropped to one knee and asked a very suprised and happy Nicole to be his bride.

"From the moment we met Leana we knew we had made the right choice. She gave us so much expertise and helpful guidence both on our engagement shoot and leading up to our wedding day, and she made taking photos with our giant, crazy families so easy and stress free."
"leana was by far our favorite vendor from our wedding. she was such a blessing to have on our team."
- Steven and Kara
Leana is as experienced as it gets when it comes to shooting weddings, and this really appealed to us. Knowing we had someone who could cover all the moving parts of our day while also not taking forever to get the photos we needed, that really mattered. And it paid off because our photos are incredible and Leana rocked!!"
"in all the photographers we looked at she is who stood out as the most experienced and skilled.
- lin and jereme
Being a couple with different skin tones, we wanted to make sure that our natural skin color would look great in our photos. We also saw so many trends in wedding photography and we wanted a style that would not be outdated in five years. We found Leana and we love the way she captured us! Her photos are so pure."
"we wanted a photographer who took photos that would never feel dated. leana's editing is so natural and timeless.
