“Leslie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very professional, was upfront with costs, & willing to answer all questions we had before booking to be sure we were comfortable. Her information packet was helpful to create a realistic timeline for the day to include enough time for photos. She made recommendations based on the info we provided to her and the photo requests we had. We felt she was truly interested in partnering with us to ensure she met our expectations and that we had a beautiful day. She was wonderful with communication and quick to respond. The day of, she was organized in getting the photos we wanted, was friendly, kind to our guests, and most importantly captured everything about our wedding day that we wanted to have lasting memories of. We received over 600 edited photos through an easy-to-use gallery. Would absolutely recommend booking Leslie! 100%”
