Pre-Booking Q's
questions to ask your photographer
Stop google searching and just pick her.
"Don’t even know where to start with Leah. What started as a simple “Denver Photographer” google search ended up with a wedding photographer that felt more like a friend than anything. From day 1 she was so inviting, organized, and professional with her timelines and coordination. What makes Leah stand out is her amazing personality. She really felt like part of the wedding party and made our special day truly memorable. Absolutely amazing photographer.
kind words from ryan
It felt like my best friend was taking my wedding Photos
"She was a huge hype man , extremely knowledgeable/creative, so fun, her energy was contagious, and omg the photos she takes are AMAZING. I booked Leah after a video meeting and was so nervous about booking someone out of state who I'd never met but this girl made everything so so easy from the first minute we even talked. She genuinely personalized everything and I could not have been happier about our pick. You will not regret booking this absolute dime of a human. Love love love."
kind words from lakin
she was HANDS DOWN and our favorite vendor
"The emotion in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO is beyond what I could've imagined for our wedding photos. She is so incredibly talented, and knew exactly how to capture the perfect moments. Our families cannot look at the photos without crying, and neither can we. I felt like Leah charged us a normal price for a Colorado photographer, but my husband and I both agreed that we would've paid her double what she charged, SHE IS THAT GOOD."
kind words from chloe
She captured our day perfectly and was so professional.
"Leah is an absolute dream of a wedding photographer. We really wanted a photographer who would help us make our day fun and full of joy - and boy did she deliver (and then some!). She was incredibly professional throughout the whole planning process. She listened to our crazy ideas and executed them flawlessly. We would absolutely recommend Leah to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, and if we could give her 10 stars instead of 5, we would!! Thank you, Leah!"
kind words from anna
The photos were all spectacular and the time flew by.
"From close up intimate moments to the long distance epic scenery shots. Our gallery turnaround time was so so fast and it was all so well organized and presented.
As a quick additional note, I (the groom) don't normally love having my photo taken , but this experience completely changed my tune. I was comfortable, present, and had a genuinely great time."
kind words from jack
She is absolutely a part of the family now!
"The best decision we made was hiring Leah as our wedding photographer! Leah pays attention to every single detail and made sure to ask about all of the photos and moments that were most important to us. Even my bridesmaids and family could not stop talking about how professional, talented, and detailed she was. She made us feel comfortable every second we spent with her and made us forget we were in front of a camera. If you want your wedding day to be perfect, just hire Leah!"

Colorado Wedding Photographer
Getting married in colorado? I got you! Texas? count me in! Iceland? My bags are already packed!
but traveling worldwide!
I am primarily a Colorado wedding photographer. But I built my business in Texas and it will always have a place in my heart. If you're getting married in Texas or any other destination– I'd love to chat with you! No destination is too far. I have traveled to over 45 countries and am an expert packer and always passport ready.
Click below to see in-depth guides of areas I frequently service.
60% candid, 40% posed
actually enjoy your day
My top priority is ensuring you enjoy your day. With the majority of my wedding coverage being candid, this means you get to just relax and enjoy while I focus on capturing the day how it looks. No 3 hour long posed photo sessions. With me, family photos are done in 15 minutes so you and your guests can actually have fun on your wedding day.
the little moments
These are my favorite things to capture and truly tell the full story of your day. The little glances, the tears, the hiccups– all those moments will transport you right back to your wedding day in 50 years. So while I love the epic shots, you'll also receive photos of your grandma holding your hand, your sister fixing your hair, your partner brushing away a tear.
no awkward photos
So many couples tell me "Leah help! We hate getting our photos done." "Leah, we're so awkward in front of the camera!". But have no fear. This is where that 40% posed really comes into play. I will tell you where to put your hands, fix your hair so you feel beautiful. I want you to love your photos– and sometimes you might need a little coaching, long story short. I got you!
that's what i want!

DO YOU OFFER PORTRAIT SESSIONS
Yes! I offer Denver based senior/graduation photos and engagement sessions as well as a few limited family sessions. You can find more info on portrait sessions here.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE COLORADO VENUES?
I have so many that I actually made a blog post specifically for this question, view a few of my favorite Colorado wedding venues here.
WE ARE SUPER AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, ANY ADVICE?
I'd say about 90% of my couples say some variation of this. Firstly, my posing is very natural and organic, with enough direction that you'll know exactly what to do with your hands. But to help my couples feel even more at ease on wedding day I try to learn everything I can about y'all through consultation calls and pre-wedding questionnaires. This way on wedding day I can photograph y'all in an authentic and genuine way. And if you're still feeling nervous, I recommend booking an engagement session so we can have a little practice run!
WHEN AND HOW ARE OUR PHOTOS DELIVERED?
You'll receive a sneak peek of a few images on social media within 72 hours because I know how eager couples are to see their images! A highlight blog post will go live two weeks after your event. And then your final gorgeous images will be ready in 6-8 weeks, delivered in a private online gallery, available for all your friends and family to view and download.
WHY SHOULD WE PICK YOU OVER ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER?
A great question! There are so many incredibly talented Colorado wedding photographers out there and being forthright, some might be a better fit for you than me. I truly believe that you should not only love a photographers work, but also their personality and experience that they'll give you. Most of my couples are working with me for over a year and then come wedding day, I will probably be the person you see the most! I pride myself on creating the best experience for my couples, I want to be an easy going and fun presence on your wedding day, but also able to keep the day running smoothly and efficiently. I'm able to accomplish this by providing lots of pre-wedding planning and communication. But don't take my word for it, check out some reviews from past clients!
The short answer: I do everything in my power for you to have a fun and stress-free wedding. My two main priorities are 1. a top notch experience and 2. beautiful photos.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? DO YOU TRAVEL?
I am located in Denver, Colorado. But I will travel wherever! Travel and lodging fees do apply if your event is further than 150 miles from 80020.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A COLORADO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
I've been photographing weddings professionally for 7 years now, but picked up my first camera way back in 2009. I started my business in Texas photographing seniors and family sessions.
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My style is a mix of photojournalistic and traditional. I love capturing candid moments, the authentic smiles, the natural tears, the goofy glances— all the things that make your wedding authentically you. But I also want to make sure that you get the shots you've been waiting for. I want you to have the classic images of you and your partner seeing each other for the first time, or your first dance, or just a big family photo that your mom will display in her home.
DO YOU OFFER SMALL WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS?
Yes! Absolutely! Small intimate weddings (less than 20 guests) and elopements (less than 5 guests) are some of my favorite things to photograph! I typically only book these 3 months in advance or on weekdays.
HOW DO WE BOOK?
I will send over a proposal that allows you to choose your perfect wedding package. A $1500 deposit will be due upon booking. You'll then sign a contract and be officially booked!
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! In fact, my payment structure is already broken up into installments to make my services more accessible. Your payments will be broken up into 5 payments throughout your journey with me.
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
Yes! And I offer a 50% discount on them for wedding clients! Engagement sessions are a great way to see how my couples interact on their wedding day. We can chat about which poses you find most flattering and natural. I can see if you are more touchy and intimate or more reserved and traditional, all which will create a more seamless and streamlined wedding day experience. I only book these sessions on weekdays to save my weekends for weddings or quality time with my husband/friends.

All are welcome here
I celebrate all humans and their form of love! You will be welcomed with open arms regardless of body image, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. This is an inclusive and safe space. If that makes you uncomfortable we are probably not a good fit. But if you're still rockin' with me, I can't wait to be a part of your day!
