Your Wedding Photography Experience

FROM BOOKING TO YOUR FINAL GALLERY

See next step

Before anything is official, I want to hear about you, your wedding, and what you’re most excited about. We’ll make sure we’re a great fit, talk through any questions you have, and make sure you feel completely confident moving forward.

I want this to feel personal from the beginning. You’re trusting me with an incredibly important day, and getting to know you is part of how I photograph it well.

Let’s
Connect

Step 01

Once you’re ready, I’ll send over your personalized booking proposal with everything you need to make it official. Choose your collection, sign your contract, pay your retainer, and your wedding date is officially reserved.

From there, I’ll guide you through what comes next so you always know what to expect.

Reserve Your Date

Step 02

Next, we get to plan your engagement session. I’ll help with location, timing, what to wear, and everything you need to feel prepared.

More importantly, it gives us time to get to know each other and helps you feel comfortable in front of my camera. By your wedding day, working together already feels familiar, which makes everything that much easier.

As your wedding gets closer, we’ll work through the photography side of your timeline together. I’ll help make sure there’s enough time for everything you care about without making your day feel rushed or overly structured.

I’ve photographed weddings throughout Northern Michigan and know how to build photography coverage around the natural flow of a wedding day. I’ll also work alongside your planner, if you have one, so when the day arrives, you can be present and enjoy it.

When your wedding day arrives, your job is to enjoy it. I’ll guide you when you need me, pay attention to the people and details you care about, and photograph your day as it naturally unfolds.

We’ll make time for beautiful portraits while leaving plenty of room for everything else. The emotion, the candids, your people, and the party. You get to be fully present and enjoy your wedding while I make sure you have the photographs to remember it.

"The experience was one I will never forget. Leah went above and beyond from the moment we reached out to her to book our date."

Client Testimonials

The Fairs

I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is super knowledgeable and professional while also making you feel like you've known each other for years. The love she has for photography is evident in every photo she takes. We love you, Leah—you are simply the best!

"If I could give this more than five stars, I would! Leah is not only an amazing photographer, but she is also an amazing person."

The Elkins

I would choose Leah over and over again to capture any of our life’s events and moments. Her wedding photo packages are inclusive, and there’s one for everyone. She went above and beyond during the whole planning process to make sure our day was perfect. When the day came, she was such a calming presence to us both and made sure to include all of the details we wanted. Not to mention, our photos are INCREDIBLE!! I can’t wait to get them printed ASAP.

"It took us a long time to find the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day, until we came across Leah’s page and never looked back."

The Eastmans

We were already sure of her and super excited after our engagement shoot with her, but after receiving our wedding photos, she blew us away! Our photos are absolutely perfect, and I feel like I'm reliving my wedding every time I look at them.

"Could not be happier choosing Leah as our wedding photographer. "

The Hansel’s 

We had her do our wedding photos and our maternity photos, and every time they are absolutely outstanding! I would highly recommend hiring her the next time you are looking into getting pictures done because she is the best! She is now our photographer for life!

"I love Leah's work so much! She does a phenomenal job of capturing your perfect moments! "

Leah was nothing short of amazing for both our engagement and wedding pictures! We have a one-year-old, and she was hopping around and doing everything she could to get him to smile—and it worked!! We are in love with all of our pictures! She took the time to answer all of our questions, set up a timeline, and was so fun and supportive on the day of our wedding! 

The Chappell’s

"We recommend her to anyone and everyone for wedding pictures or any pictures you may need to get done!"

 She’s very down-to-earth! It was so easy letting her capture our maternity pics—it felt like I had known her for years. If you book a session with her, you won’t regret it!

The Ziegler’s

" Leah is absolutely AMAZING! If you’re looking for a photographer in northwest MI/Traverse City area, she’s your girl! "

I used her for my first boudoir shoot post-birth, and she made me feel nothing less than beautiful. Then again, for a surprise shoot for my friend, and I was later surprised with a birthday shoot, which was beyond fun. I also used her for a last-minute family photoshoot as a surprise for my nieces while I only had them for a few more hours. Not only did she squeeze us in, but she also made it so relaxing, fun, and natural. Lastly, we did a best friend’s shoot, and she was amazing at capturing real-time memories and smiles.

Courtney Oakley

"She had a way of making everyone feel comfortable no matter the situation...I’m beyond impressed with my photos and the entire experience."

We were coming into town for vacation, and I reached out to Leah last minute to see if she was available for a family session! She was very, very accommodating and very personable in her messaging! The day of the session was just as great! She made a spot very close to us work and had to work hard to get our 1.5-year-old to cooperate! She took her time and was amazing with us!

The Anders

"The photos are just as AMAZING! We love them! We’ll definitely see her again when we’re back in Michigan!"

Leah is sweet, friendly, and easy to work with! She is very organized, and it is clear when working with her that photography is her passion. She is patient and kind when working with you to create the best shots. I enjoy looking back on my engagement and wedding photos. After our wedding, Leah even sent us a canvas print of one of our wedding pictures. I highly recommend Leah as your photographer; you will not be disappointed!

The Rushlaus

"I am very thankful that Leah was our photographer! The pictures are absolutely beautiful."
