Leslie and her team shot the photography for my wedding. The pictures were everything we could have hoped for.
Even with unpredictable weather the day of, her team produced incredible results. In addition, at each step during our wedding day, she made us feel comfortable through our various photo sessions, ensuring we had food, water, and drinks at the ready when we needed them.
Prior to our wedding day, Leslie's communication and scheduling with us was flawless. She was extremely considerate of our wants and needs and curated a shot list that was perfect for us.
