Photos are my way of freezing time for you, preserving some of the thousands of joyful moments of the happiest day of your lives. I capture you in action, and in love. Which means you'll see tons of movement in my images. It helps you remember how these moments felt and not just how they looked. You'll remember the weight of your dress when you see it blowing in the wind. You'll remember the feeling of your shoes when you see yourselves dancing. You'll remember the touch of your palms when you see the photo of you squeezing your partner's hand after saying "I Do."
Your photos will permeate with that certain je ne sais quoi, they will permeate with romance...
I wanna make you feel something.
We took your advice and waited to open these together— what a beautiful experience to get to relive the beautiful weekend all over again!
We find ourselves completely stunned by your ability to capture emotion! There was so much joy radiating throughout the day and it can truly be felt in the photos. The movement and light are just stunning. It’s like being transported right back to the moment. And we never even saw you most of the time! And when we did see you, you were a ray of warm light keeping us on the ball, but calm! HOW?! You are truly gifted.
Thank you for making the day about the moments. Each and every photo feels like it was capturing SOMETHING organic, even when posed. We loved getting to see all of the other moments happening throughout the night! We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and we feel so fortunate to have had you capture these most stellar pieces of memories and document them for decades to come.
THANK YOU for your sharing your gifts with us on this special day. Weddings FLY, but it all seems that much more real having these photos!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!! And are just beyond grateful! Thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Leila these are INCREDIBLE. I feel like I just got to relive all my favorite moments of my life over and over again! It is so amazing to have hundreds of little gifts capturing our day perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank youuuuu. You were the best photographer ever, and the best person on the day of team! I honestly couldn't have gotten through the day without you. I am so grateful to have met you and had a lot of fun having you there. Genuinely there are significant moments of that day you played a pivotal role.
"It was exhausting and somewhat unpleasant. The pictures are OK but the session further affirmed my very wonderful feeling about you, your work and the manner in which you work. Your way with all of us was so wonderful…respectful, gentle, not intrusive and of course gorgeous. I just wanted to share this as I recognize that you are a total cut above!! A heartfelt thanks to you again."
Thank you SO much. We have no words for how much we love them.
Thank you, you talented, talented human!!!

I. Am. So. Obsessed. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you again for capturing all of these magical moments!
"I wanted to tell you that I had a professional picture for my business done today. It was exhausting and somewhat unpleasant. The pictures are OK but the session further affirmed my very wonderful feeling about you, your work and the manner in which you work. Your way with all of us was so wonderful…respectful, gentle, not intrusive and of course gorgeous. I just wanted to share this as I recognize that you are a total cut above!! A heartfelt thanks to you again."
"Not to mention, I had known we would have tears, but I still thought our wedding would have been a dancing wedding. What it was, instead, was this intensely emotional and loving wedding with some dancing. So, to have a chance to revisit our day when I needed it so badly, was truly a gift today."
"Not only was the final product amazing, but you have been such a pleasure to work with. Your professionalism, promptness and beautiful spirit made the entire process a breeze. We can't thank you enough."
My husband wasn't so keen on the whole engagement photo session idea, but once we hit the streets of NYC and she captured our love with the backdrop of the city in its truest form, he had a new found appreciation for her work and her down to earth, go-with-the-flow attitude. On my rainy wedding day, she stepped in to help in more ways than one as we tried to quickly figure out plan b for our first look photos, by calling venues and staying cool as a cucumber the whole day. Our photos look elegant, organic, ethereal and romantic. The way she develops them gives you a glow that any bride would appreciate. So many of our friends have asked for her info since seeing our photos and I can't recommend her enough!!
"There was no posing, no hours spent shooting to get those perfect shots, yet we have hundreds of pictures that perfectly tell the story of our love and wedding day. I've been in A LOT of weddings, and the majority of the day is spent posing, waiting, posing. Not ours. We LIVED in the day rather than trying to just document it. Yet, we ended up with the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen.
Leila did both our engagement and wedding photos. She was our favorite vendor to work with, and we hope to continue to work with her in the future. Maybe for pictures of future little ones? :)"
