Oklahoma City Photographers

Telling the truth in a beautiful way.

What started as curiosity quickly grew into a deep love for capturing real, meaningful moments. The longer we’ve done this, the more we’ve come to see how every wedding holds its own rhythm.

Quiet glances, inside jokes, the way someone exhales before saying “I do” or laughs with relief after reciting their vows. Those are the moments that move us; we don’t take wedding pictures, we are telling the truth in a beautiful way.

What drives me

One more story worth telling

Clients often say there's something calming about the way I work.

I read the room, move quietly, and make people feel seen. The couples who find me usually care about the same things I do: genuine connection, intentional moments, and a personal experience that feels true to them.

And honestly? That's what keeps me going. Knowing there's always one more story worth telling. One more sunset to chase, one more moment that deserves to be preserved exactly as it happened.

From first email to final gallery

I listen first. Really listen.

From there I get out of the way, moving quietly and letting things unfold naturally. I mix gentle direction with real observation, so you get both the posed portraits and the raw, unplanned moments you'll actually want to keep.

I move with the rhythm of your day, I'm calm when things feel hectic, and I'm right there if you need a little guidance along the way.

From the first email to your final gallery, I keep everything simple, clear, and stress free.

You'll have sneak peeks in your inbox within 48 hours, and your complete gallery, fully edited and ready to download, usually within two weeks.

This is entirely about you.

"simply could not recommend them enough"

Leia and Shane were not only great photographers, they were so wonderful to be around and work with!

They helped us feel comfortable for our engagement shoot, as we had never had professional photos done before so we had no idea what we were doing!

My Approach

With nearly two decades of experience, I bring laughs, jokes, helpful tips and calm energy to every session.

My Approach

SERVING OKLAHOMA CITY, TULSA, AND BEYOND

From surprise proposals by the water to relaxed engagement sessions and intimate elopements, I photograph couples across Oklahoma in a way that feels calm, natural, and true to the moment.

I'm based in Oklahoma and often photograph in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Edmond, Stillwater, Broken Arrow, Enid, and the surrounding areas. If you're planning something meaningful somewhere else in the state, I'd love to hear what you have in mind.

Leia and Shane are your Oklahoma City Wedding Photographers helping you preserve the most special moments from your wedding day.
