As your day approaches, I’ll send a thoughtful questionnaire to gather the details that matter most. I’ll collaborate with your planner and vendors to craft a seamless, documentary-friendly timeline so you can be fully present while I handle the logistics.
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive early, support you however needed, and document everything with a calm, intentional presence. You’ll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours and your full gallery within 10 weeks. I’ll also guide you through designing heirloom albums and selecting prints—your memories preserved beautifully.
“She did a great job making us feel comfortable—both leading up to our wedding and on the day itself.”
“She did a great job making us feel comfortable both leading up to the wedding and on the day itself, and took the time to make sure we were aligned on our expectations and priorities for photos. We are so happy with the images she captured, including the Fern Garden and sunset photos we had requested. We can’t wait to print our favorites and display them in our new home together. If you’re thinking about booking Leslie, do it—we would absolutely work with her again.”

Q: What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?
A: Most of my couples feel this way at first. My approach is calm and guided, with gentle prompts that help you feel comfortable and present never stiff or overly posed. You don’t need to know what to do; I’ll guide you when needed and step back when moments unfold naturally.
Q: Do you help with timelines or planning?
A: Yes. Once booked, I provide guidance and a questionnaire to help shape a photography-friendly timeline that allows your day to flow naturally without feeling rushed.
Q: How many photos can we expect?
A: I typically deliver an average of 70 images per hour of coverage. All images are thoughtfully curated and lightly retouched. I never withhold meaningful moments if your day naturally unfolds with more images, you’ll receive them.
Q: We’re getting married outside of Hawai‘i. Do you travel?
Yes. I’m based on O‘ahu and regularly photograph weddings across Hawai‘i and New York, where I’m originally from. I also take on a limited number of destination weddings each year beyond those locations. Travel is handled professionally and discussed upfront so everything feels clear and easy from the start.
An experience that feels relaxed, intentional, and quietly unforgettable—like the best moments of a destination trip, without the stress.
Whether your celebration unfolds along the shores of Hawai‘i, on a California coastline or vineyard, or at an estate or waterfront venue on Long Island, New York, your wedding deserves to be thoughtfully planned and intentionally documented. From our first conversation to the final gallery, my approach is calm, guided, and centered around your experience—so you feel supported, prepared, and able to stay fully present.
Together, we’ll shape a photography experience that reflects your vision and honors the people and moments that matter most—creating imagery you’ll return to often and proudly display in your home for years to come.
