Have fun together
That's the secret to truly beautiful wedding photos. The wedding day is fleeting and I believe in documenting those moments in a candid, timeless kind of way. So have fun with your person. And all of the people celebrating you. Shall we dance....

Meet Leila
I'm just a human doing what I love to do. Simply put. Over a decade ago, I set out with the intention of photographing people in their favorite places on one of the happiest days of their lives. Little did I know that this journey would teach me about the human experience - each adventure showing me how to understand people better and finding the deepest meaning of what makes people themselves, for no two stories are similar. When I photograph a wedding, I see layers within scenes, multiple stories happening at once, and I work to seamlessly capture these little fleeting moments. I'm a travel wedding photographer in NYC & LA, but love to be a nomad - your destination is never too far - I'd love to hear about your celebration plans!
