What every wedding photographer says:
You deserve the best! Your wedding photos will be with you forever! Let’s party!
What they don’t say:
I’m not sure how to light dark spaces. I’ll obnoxiously stand in the middle of the ceremony aisle. You’ll be late to the reception because I’ll insist on using all of golden hour. I’ll just call your mom…”mom”… all day because learning her name isn’t important to me. 25% of your gallery will be awesome, but the rest will be nothing I’d ever post online…
(I know all of this from first-hand experience and conversations with local high-end wedding planners, coordinators, florists, DJs, etc)
What I believe:
You DO deserve the best. Your wedding photos WILL be with you forever. I’ve photographed so many weddings in crazy places that I can light anything BEAUTIFULLY.
Winter doesn’t scare me. I get to know everyone’s names. Your meals will be hot. Your church ladies will love me. Your photos will be fun, and amazing, and everything YOU envision – because I listen to all of my clients in ways above and beyond the norm.
Your once-in-a-lifetime investment should be with someone who is not just saying the ‘woo-woo’ website things, but who LIVES FOR HER CLIENTS and knows your entire wedding gallery will be INSANELY GORGEOUS.
I care deeply about my craft, artistic vision, clients, families, wedding parties, and client experience. Even as I type these words I feel it in my bones.
My bridal party and family raved about her!
Not only did my bridal party and family rave about her, so many guests at the wedding came up to us and said how professional she was and that they thought she was incredible capturing so many photos!
Her photos just so perfectly encapsulated *us* as a couple, as a family.
She has this smile that you can see in her eyes – it’s such a genuine part of her – it beckons you to trust her, to listen to her, to have FUN with her.
She found every little moment and emphasized the big moments, too.
She is so passionate about capturing your day, making you feel beautiful. I swear she made the both of us feel like royalty.

We will be lifelong clients!
I cannot recommend working with Leeann enough! She is extremely skilled and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. We received our wedding photos from her so quickly, and every single photo is gorgeous!
Having big, loud families was no issue for Leeann!
She was able to round everyone up and get every picture we wanted while making sure the day was still on track. Leeann truly goes above and beyond to make her couples feel special and cared for.

Tell me about your photography vision and style!
I love wedding photography. I always look for the best LIGHT. Light that will make your skin look amazing, and light that is interesting and will add to your gallery in a beautiful way.
I believe that your wedding images should capture emotion, light, and a crisp and classic vibe.
I do not use filters on your images – I am always shooting for beautiful light, interesting background, and moment. Your images should not be trendy, but they should be contemporary.
I am very technicially knowledgeable and can handle lots of situations quickly!
What is your focus on the wedding day?
Single focus? Impossible!
With over 15 years of wedding-day experience, I am able to manage a lot of things on a wedding day. This includes:
- Looking for gorgeous light
- Paying attention to the timeline and keeping us on track
- Getting to know everyone involved and using their names to build rapport
- Looking for small, important moments between my couples and their loved ones
- Communicating with key vendors
- Helping to coordinate transportation and timing
- Couple’s portraits that feel natural, romantic, fun, and elegant
- Family portraits that are well-organized and true-to-your relationships
- Making sure kids aren’t melting down
- Looking for gorgeous light
Why are albums important?
Wedding albums are the single best way to maintain your wedding images. Printing your photos, beautifully displaying them, and placing them in a book that can be around for decades is the best way to utilize your wedding photography investment.
None of my clients have ever regretted their wedding album. Many of my clients have forgotten to download their online gallery.
How many hours do we need?
I usually find that 8 hours is a great point for most of my wedding couples. Some need more, some need less, and some need a lot more. The number of hours, honestly, is not something that need to be 100% set at booking time. It’s actually best to hash that our with our timeline planning, so that you’re not paying for more than you need but you’re also covered for the important events!
How many photos do we get?
Every gallery is different, but a typical 8-hour wedding gallery includes ~700 color images. They are duplicated into black/white.
Who is your second photographer?
I work with a very short list of second photographers who are amazing pros and who create images that work seamlessly in your gallery.
When / where do we do our engagement session?
When: any time before the wedding, but specifically 6mo prior if you want to use the photos for save-the-dates
Where: I know SO many cool spots! Tell me your vibe and timing and I’ll give you some great options.
What is your turn-around-time?
I share preview images to you via a gallery link within 2 weeks of your wedding (usually much sooner). Your full gallery + album design is released ~4 weeks after your wedding date (usually sooner).
What is your plan for backup, insurance, equipment failure, illness, etc?
OH THE SCARY STUFF! Ha! But really, I have a plan for all of this. Your images are photographed on dual memory cards, and they are backed up in multiple hard drive and cloud locations after the wedding.
I carry liability (1M) and equipment insurance and can provide certificates.
I have multiple cameras, lenses, flashes, cards with me on the wedding day.
If I am incredibly sick (like, reallyreallyreallysick) I have a vast network of professionals to call on for assistance.
I photographed a wedding the day after my dad died, the day after I buried my mom, and two weeks after I gave birth to each of my four children. I literally am a wedding badass.
How do we book you?
All reservations are completed online with an easy link. This reservation includes custom pacakges, the contract, and a retainer of $1500.
The remaining balance is broken into two equal payments: 7 month and 1 month out from your wedding date.
