Hi, hello….I’m Leah, a Minnesota wedding photographer who leads with faith and a whole lot of joy. I’ll guide you with intention, squeal when the moment is magic, and honor the quiet, sacred parts of your day.

Your wedding day deserves your presence, not your to-do list.


I believe the best experiences are built on preparation, communication, and trust long before the wedding day ever arrives.

Together, we’ll talk through priorities, timing, and the moments that matter most to you. I’ll handle the organization, guide the flow of the day, and ensure everything is thoughtfully covered so you’re free to relax and fully enjoy it with the ones you love.

On the day itself, my approach is equal parts joyful and intentional. I celebrate the big moments, cherish the quiet moments, and create a calm, seamless experience that allows you to stay connected from start to finish.

Because when you feel at ease, your photographs reflect it.

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL

“…She brought such a warm, grounding energy, and somehow balanced professionalism with being a total joy to be around. And the photos? Beyond anything we could have imagined. Every image captured the emotion, laughter, and little in-between moments that made our day so special. Choosing wedding vendors can be overwhelming, but choosing Leah was the easiest and best decision we made, one I would make a hundred times over.”
