AWKWARD in FRONT OF a CAMERA?

Same honestly!

Most couples are awkward in front of a camera.

That is kind of the whole point of hiring someone who knows what they are doing.

I have been photographing couples in Oklahoma for years. Long enough to handle anything, make anyone feel comfortable, and still deliver photos that look nothing like everyone else's.

When you work with me you will feel taken care of from the first email to the moment your gallery lands.

"They caught the most genuine, emotional, and magical moments"

From the quiet glances to the loud, laughter-filled dance floor, every photo feels like a time capsule of how we felt in those moments.

Our photos are everything we dreamed of and more. Romantic, vibrant, candid, and timeless. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives.

Leia and her team were nothing short of amazing. They worked seamlessly together, capturing every moment without ever being intrusive. It truly felt like we had friends behind the camera who cared as much about our day as we did.

MEET YOUR oklahoma wedding photographers

Hi, I'm Leia.

I've been photographing couples in Oklahoma for years. Not in a "I just started my business and I'm figuring it out" kind of way. In a "I've shot hundreds of proposals and engagements and I know exactly what I'm doing" kind of way.

I'm 5 stars on The Knot and Google, I've been recognised as one of the best wedding photographers in Oklahoma, and my clients will tell you I'm the kind of photographer who actually responds to your messages and shows up when I say I will.

But honestly? The thing I'm most proud of is that people feel comfortable around me. I'm not the loudest person in the room. I'm not going to make your shoot feel like a production.

I'm just going to quietly make sure you end up with photos that actually look like you.

Wallflower with a camera. That's me.

Intentional. Romantic. Real.

No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just you, your person, and the moments that actually happened.

They made the whole experience feel easy and fun. We absolutely love how our photos turned out and would highly recommend them!"

Reagan Schulte

★★★★★
"Leia did an amazing job photographing my proposal. She put a great amount of effort into not only capturing the proposal itself but also helping with the planning leading up to it.

She assisted me in finding the perfect location, which helped bring my vision to life exactly as I had imagined. The entire experience was smooth and professional from start to finish."
