Hawaii based wedding, elopement, and couples photographer preserving honest, heartfelt moments for intentional, one-of-a-kind couples.

Oahu Wedding Photographer & Elopement Photographer

You’ve found a love that feels rare—steady, intentional, and unmistakably yours. Now you’re choosing a way to honor it that reflects who you are at your core.

Maybe you want something intimate. Maybe bold. Maybe completely your own. Whatever it looks like, your story deserves to be documented with honesty and heart.

With a documentary approach rooted in intention—and a blend of 35mm film, medium format film, digital, and Super 8—I capture the moments that feel like you. The quiet ones. The emotional ones. The ones you’ll want to relive for a lifetime. My role is to steady the pace, calm the noise, and create space for all of it to unfold naturally.

You bring the connection.
I’ll preserve the feeling.

Based on O‘ahu. Documenting love stories across Hawai‘i and around the world,

HOLA,
ALOHA,
AND HELLO!

I’m here to serve you with intention, emotional support, and a calm, grounded presence while creating images that feel honest, artful, and deeply true to who you are. Elegant when it matters. Real always. Editorial and emotive all at once.

I’m Leslie—an O‘ahu-based wedding and elopement photographer, Colombian-born and New York–raised, shaped by the Hawaiian Islands I now call home. Inspired by the bold colors of Hawai‘i and the energy of my New-York-by-way-of-Colombia upbringing, I create galleries that feel authentic yet editorial—emotion-forward, cinematic, and rooted in connection.

With my Louis Vuitton bags full of thrift-store finds and my trusty Docs, Dunks, and Vans, I travel to document love stories with intention. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m cooking for my family, planning our next Disney trip, designing my nails, or thrifting something meaningful.

Before you go… can you guess this?

Speaking of love stories, how long do you think my husband and I have known each other?

“SHE TRULY CAPTURES MAGIC.”

“Leslie is basically a magical fairy photographer who makes your wishes come true! From the very beginning of the planning stages to the day of the shoot, she did not skip a beat! She made my family and I feel super comfortable. All we had to do was be ourselves, and she took care of the rest!”
