Huge Congratulations to my brides Tara & Kelsey this weekend!! I am so, so happy for you!! Thank you for including me on your magical day!!!

How do you feel about black and white images?

It takes time to get the details just right.

I was thinking back to Ashlyn's and Mark's wedding today. These guys are a tonne of fun and their wedding was absolutely awesome.
I wish them all the happiness in the world. ŌØż’ĖÅ

It is so important to establish a relationship of trust with your photographer. When you look back on your images you will connect to the sincere interaction, the honest emotion you experienced. Trust allows the intimacy of the moment to be captured and not impeded.

What do you guys think of black and white photography for weddings and engagements?

If this doesn't make your weekend I don't know what will.

I can't believe it's been so long since my trip to Myanmar. What an incredible experience.

Now, I'm not going to deny that I was aware of your beauty. But the point is, this has nothing to do with your beauty. As I got to know you, I began to realize that beauty was the least of your qualities. I became fascinated by your goodness. I was drawn in by it. I didn't understand what was happening to me. And it was only when I began to feel actual, physical pain every time you left the room that it finally dawned on me: I was in love, for the first time in my life. I knew it was hopeless, but that didn't matter to me. And it's not that I want to have you. All I want is to deserve you. Tell me what to do. Show me how to behave. I'll do anything you say. -- Choderlos de Laclos

Leya was extremely friendly and professional and put us at ease instantly throughout the wedding process, and we loved every single picture!!

Leya is by far the most wonderful and energetic photographer I've ever met. My husband and I are so lucky to have worked with her on multiple occassions including our Wedding. We look forward celebrating our future milestones with Leya behind the lens. Leya is commited to quality and making sure her clients are comfortable and happy through out the process. The value found in Leyas work is unmatched.

Leya is absolutely amazing!! She has this ability to make everyone feel comfortable. Her photos are simply gorgeous. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, no matter what the occasion. I can not express enough how fantastic she is!
