Imagine the breath you can take from not feeling like you need to perform. No shot lists, no faking it for the camera, just living presently in your day.
Your wedding day shouldn't feel like one big photoshoot
Think of these images as you personal time machine to look back on years later when your hair is grey and your faces are filled with wrinkles. Heirlooms to pass down long past our time on earth.

Emotion led Moments
Impactful Observations
more about ME
I am not here to run your big day, photos are not everything. I refuse to add to the preconceived expectations already put on weddings. I am here to simply observe and document the things you didn't know were happening because you were too busy being in the moment. To produce images that show you how much you two are loved. To freeze this moment in space.
After 12 years of being at weddings every weekend I have found that this approach to photography shakes me to my core. As for me I am a total empath, addicted to capturing every emotion know to man, and drink a bit too much coffee.
Documentary PHOTOGRAPHER in NEW YORK & Seattle
I'm leanne
this is Me in real life
this is the most professional photo ever taken of me
Marissa & Wyatt
Both my husband and myself felt so at ease with Leanne and loved her laid back shooting style. She did an impeccable job at capturing the real candid moments throughout the day and night, never putting her camera down and always on the lookout for authentic emotion or the perfect light. The way she sees the world through her camera lens is even better than reality.
"She has a way of directing without actually posing anything".
don't just take it from me
Colin & Erica
Leanne was the perfect photographer for our NYC wedding. She captured our vision and our day so well and naturally. We wanted natural documentary type pictures. She nailed it. We never felt over-posed or tired of pictures. She truly captured us in our natural most happy states. From the engagement pics, to the big day, I can’t say enough good things about her talent and how well our pictures came out. Both my husband and I are thrilled and can’t stop talking about how perfect she was. I recommend her a million times!!!

Sophia & Colin
We cannot recommend Leanne enough. She was my favorite vendor I hired for my wedding by far. From the very start she made the whole process relaxed, comfortable and FUN! She captures real moments in a beautiful way. We are forever grateful. Do not think twice about hiring her!

Morgan & Jordan
Leanne was a dream to work with for our wedding and rehearsal dinner. She managed to get the photojournalistic photos we wanted and truly captured the love. She was also chill and easy to work with. Would highly recommend!

Hana & Nick
We weren’t from the Finger Lakes area but did an intimate elopement style wedding at an Airbnb on Seneca Lake and found Leanne through Google! We wanted natural, unposed, candid photos of our time and it was everything we wanted and more!!
"She gave direction when needed but mostly we were able to just live in the moment."
