Hawaii based wedding photographer preserving honest, heartfelt moments for intentional couples who want to feel present through their day, and never performative.

Hawaii Wedding Photographer & Elopement Photographer

You’ve found a love that feels rare, steady, and unmistakably yours. Now you’re choosing a way to honor it that feels true to you both – choosing to keep traditions you love and not conforming to ones that don’t resonate with you.

I photograph weddings for couples who want to feel their day, not stage it. With a documentary approach blended with guided direction, I balance stepping back during meaningful moments and stepping in with gentle guidance to you feel at ease. Known for reading the room and leading with calm confidence, I create space for your honest emotions to unfold naturally.
Rooted in my love for family, mutual trust with my couples, and bringing thoughtful care to each event, my priority is to support you fully, so you can stay present while I preserve each moment.

JOYFULLY SERVING OAHU, HAWAII AND BEYOND!

HOLA, ALOHA, AND HELLO!

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.

I’m here to serve you with intentionality, emotional support, and a calm, grounded presence, while creating images that feel honest, artful, and deeply true to who you are. Always real, artfully elegant and creatively editorial.

Before you go… can you guess this?

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

“Looking back at our pictures not only made my husband and I cry but they also made our parents cry.”

“My husband and I hired Leslie as our wedding photographer and her work was worth every single penny!! Leslie knew where to be at all times and captured every single moment of our day. Looking back at our pictures not only made my husband and I cry but also made our parents cry. I can’t thank her enough for accommodating my huge family, she even speaks Spanish, which was very helpful for us. She is extremely easy to get along with and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout every photo. There was not a single awkward moment with her.”

I prioritize helping my couples feel fully present throughout their wedding, knowing your experience matters just as much as the images themselves.

Expect gentle hype, heartfelt affirmations, and steady support behind the camera.
