What's Next?

I approach my work with the belief that connection and trust are everything. I believe clarity is care, especially during a season that asks for so much of your time, energy, and investment. When communication is thoughtful and expectations are clear, it shapes not only your photographs, but your entire experience. This is work I hold with intention, presence, and deep respect for what you’re celebrating.

Once you inquire, we’ll hop on a call so I can learn more about your story, what matters most to you, and how you want this chapter to feel. From there, I’ll create a custom proposal aligned with your vision.

You’ll find answers to many common questions in the FAQs below, but if there’s something you’re wondering about that I didn’t cover, please don’t hesitate to ask in your inquiry. I’m always here for you.

About Me

I’m a multi-passionate creative and lifelong New Yorker who recently got engaged to my best friend, too. I’ve had a camera in hand for over a decade - and have spent the last seven years immersed in the world of weddings. I’ve been enamored with photographs for as long as I can remember. They’ve always felt like portals back to the feelings we never want to lose.

My approach blends editorial direction with organic, documentary storytelling. I’m just as comfortable offering guidance to help you feel confident in front of the lens as I am stepping back to let those once-in-a-lifetime moments unfold naturally. After years of capturing love in all its nuance, I’ve come to deeply value knowing when to lead and when to witness - creating imagery that stands the test of time.

As your photographer, I vow to bring all of me: the caregiver, the observer, the old friend, the artist, and the creative director. Being invited into your love and your life is a wildly personal gift I never take lightly. Building a true relationship with you isn’t just meaningful - it’s essential. It’s how I create rare, sentimental imagery that reflects your design vision, the legacy you’re building, and the magic of your connection. The kind of photographs that don’t just document the day, but hold the essence of what drew you to each other in the first place.

My approach blends editorial direction with organic documentary feeling. I’ll guide you where it helps, and step back where it matters most. No stiff posing, but nothing missed. Constantly observing, intuitively attuned, and creatively discerning—because you deserve to be fully present for this monumental celebration and to trust that your photographer has your back in every sense.

I believe you can have photos that are as meaningful as they are magazine-worthy. The iconic moments. The in-between ones. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind. All documented with honesty, creativity, care, and elegant artistry.

If you want a photographer who feels like an old friend—and personality-filled images that could only be yours, that feel like you—I’d be honored to get to know you two.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you shoot with digital and film?

I primarily shoot digital and have been working with Sony cameras for over 10 years. Digital allows me to capture fleeting, meaningful moments with precision and consistency, which is essential for the level of storytelling and care I bring to a wedding day. That said, I love weaving in a touch of nostalgia. I always bring disposable cameras and occasionally incorporate film to add texture and a lived-in, effortless feel. My priority is delivering the editorial-meets-candid magic you’re here for, no matter the medium used to create it.

Do you shoot with cameras that have dual card slots for safety?

Yes, always. My team and I exclusively use professional cameras with dual card slots, which means every image is backed up in real time as it’s captured. This is a non-negotiable part of how I work.

Weddings are beautifully complex, and experience matters. Using dual card slots ensures your photographs are safeguarded throughout the day, even in the unlikely event that a card fails. Every couple deserves that level of care and protection for their most valued memories.

Do you travel internationally for weddings?

How do you handle unexpected changes on the wedding day (like bad weather)?

I’ve spent years in this industry, traveling and working in a wide range of settings, which has taught me how to adapt to life’s unpredictability with grace. While major disruptions are rare, my team and I are always prepared to support you and collaborate closely with your planner and vendor team if weather or unexpected changes arise.

Whether that means adjusting timelines, pivoting locations, or simply keeping the energy steady and grounded, my focus stays the same: protecting your experience and capturing your day with care, artistry, and ease. No matter what unfolds, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

Do you offer videography, too?

I began my career in video production, which naturally informs a cinematic approach to my photography with a deep care for movement, meaning, and story. While that foundation is always present in how I work, my focus here is entirely devoted to photography. Specializing allows me to deliver a truly high-end, one-of-a-kind level of artistry and attention to detail, and I believe my couples deserve nothing less.

Because of my background in video, collaboration matters deeply to me. I’ve worked closely with incredible teams, including Ten Twenty Seven Films, and I thoughtfully curate trusted vendor recommendations for all my couples, from hair and makeup and florals to coordination, Super 8, and full-scale video. A cohesive, in-sync team makes a meaningful difference in how the day flows, and that care is reflected throughout my client experience.

Yes, with love and excitement. While my team and I are based in New York City and across the East Coast, I have deep roots in Italy and Belgium and regularly work with couples across Europe and beyond. I always travel fully insured and well prepared, ready to meet your story wherever you’re excited to celebrate it.

Can we meet before the wedding?

I absolutely encourage it, and the cafés and restaurants around NYC are one of my favorite parts of the city. I love capturing engagement sessions, rehearsal dinners, and civil ceremonies in the lead-up to your wedding. That time together allows us to build a real connection and brings so much ease to the wedding day. If those moments aren’t part of your plans, we’ll still find time to connect beforehand. Spending time together and getting to know you both is essential to supporting you well and capturing the day with care.

"Leandra is absolutely incredible! From the moment we met, she wasn’t just our photographer, she became a friend and an integral part of our wedding journey. Her energy is unmatched, her inspiration is endless, and her photos? Truly stunning. She has this rare ability to capture not just moments, but emotions, in every single shot.
Le was there every step of the way, supporting us, hyping us up, and making the entire process so fun and stress-free. She brought the best vibes and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding memories were preserved perfectly. Now, after everything, we don’t just have amazing photos, we’ve also gained an amazing friend. My wedding party will truly never shut up about her.

If you’re looking for a photographer who truly pours her heart and soul into her work, look no further. I couldn’t recommend Leandra higher, she’s simply the best!"

"Leandra is the dream photographer - exactly the type of person you want to be capturing the most special, intimate moments of your life with not only your significant other but with your family and friends. Aside from Leandra's photography talents, she is kind, caring, compassionate, thoughtful, client focused, energetic, authentic. The communication from the moment we were introduced to Leandra and through receiving our full gallery was seamless, thanks to Leandra's team and her organizational skills and personable manner. Leandra's talent in capturing love the way she does is truly remarkable. You know Leandra is good at what she does when you notice the people / talent she surrounds herself with. This was very clear when we met the 2nd shooter for our wedding. We received compliment and compliment from our wedding party and guests regarding how wonderful/kind/professional our photographers were. Hiring Leandra as our wedding photographer was hands down the best wedding vendor decision we made. We are so grateful that Leandra was a part of our special day."

"When I started looking for my dream wedding photographer, I knew I wanted something different than just the standard, generic wedding photos. I didn’t just want photos of me and my husband together, I wanted something that told a story. The artistic angles, the lighting, the beauty she was able to capture in a simple setting; it wasn’t just photography, it was art. After our first chat with Leandra, I immediately felt at ease. When it came time for our wedding, one of the few things we were not worried about in the slightest was the photography. She did such an amazing job at the engagement shoot and made us feel so at ease that we already knew the photos would be perfect. I have no idea how she was able to pull off all that she did. These are not just the standard wedding photos; there are so many detail shots and creative setups that truly turn your wedding album into a story. She doesn’t just capture the main characters, she sets the whole scene. Leandra is a true professional. She is knowledgeable, prepared, and an incredibly kind and easy person to work with. She truly creates art and is amazing at what she does."

"Leandra photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding, surpassing our already high expectations! She's exceptionally talented – has an eye for detail and composition, and captured emotional moments authentically.

Though neither my partner nor I enjoy having our pictures taken, Leandra put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable (and have fun) in front of the camera! The whole bridal party was highly complimentary of her energy.

Of course, we couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out–they belong in a magazine! Working with Leandra was an absolute dream.

So if you're looking for a wedding photographer, go with Leandra! "

"Where to begin… I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leandra. 2020 was such a difficult year for so many and, COVID aside, she walked the most difficult year of my life with me and my now husband. Our original wedding date was on May 2nd, 2020 and then COVID happened causing us to have to reschedule. We postponed to June 13th and my father got admitted to the hospital unexpectedly on May 21st, was in the hospital for 21 days and passed away on June 10th. Again, Leandra led with empathy in navigating our tough decisions and unexpected challenges and worked with us to choose a third date when we were ready. So finally on October 4th we were able to proceed with our wedding and she made the day (which I was expecting to be a very hard and emotional day) fun, enjoyable, and lighthearted and she knew exactly what to capture and when to capture it. She was so organized, prepared, and gave great direction and really made the day run smoothly.

I am so happy with how our pictures turned out and I’ve gotten so many compliments on our photographs. We were so thankful that we chose Leandra to capture our day. If you’re looking for a kind human and wonderful photographer, go with Leandra. You won’t regret it."

"I could never say enough high regards for Leandra and everything she did to make this day so incredibly special for us. She is everything you could want in a photographer and will make you feel like you've known her forever. She has a talent for creating brilliance and capturing it in genuine moments. When we got a sneak peak of these photos, I couldn't help but get emotional. She truly captured who we are in the most beautiful way, but also told a story through her photos. She exceeded every single expectation we had, and I could not recommend her enough.

I HIGHLY recommend you stop your search and book this lady now."

"Leandra is so incredibly talented. When I first was referred to her, it took me about 30 seconds into looking at her portfolio to fall in love with her style and approach to documenting our most cherished moments. She truly puts so much care into building a relationship with her clients. The questions went beyond the minute details of the "when" and "where" - she wanted to know things like what makes our relationship special and our interests as a couple. I truly believe that her personal investment in us is portrayed in the images she captured. Our engagement shoot was so special. We met Leandra on the streets of New York City. My fiancée and I are not locals, knowing this, she made us feel so taken care of in an unfamiliar place. She truly took care of every detail - from ordering us a taxi, to getting us an ice cream cone for some light-hearted shots. With my fiancé and I not being super comfortable in front of the camera, Leandra's approach to capture moments rather than posing for shots made all the difference. The pictures truly encapsulate the moment and bring you back to that place and time. When our full album came back, I was absolutely floored. The pictures are truly a time capsule of precious memories that we will come back to look at year after year."

"Where do I even begin? We booked her for an engagement shoot with our pup. The entire experience from booking her to even after receiving our full gallery of photos has been above & beyond. Leandra made us feel sooo comfortable in front of the camera and it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend the entire time. She directed us in a super natural way and she also got our pup to smile in front of the camera for almost every picture!! Leandra really spent the time to genuinely get to know us both individually, our love story, and the story we wanted to tell with the photos (which she absolutely SLAYED). She also sent voice notes and even gave her opinion on outfit choices before the shoot. The photos turned out timeless and just truly above anything we ever expected. She even sent our sneak peak photos in less than 24 hours. Doing our engagement shoot with Leandra has honestly been one of the best highlights during our entire wedding planning process. The entire experience was exceptional & Leandra is just an all around awesome human being."

"Leandra is absolutely incredible, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone."

"We had the most amazing experience with Leandra because of her commitment to making us feel special and not "just another client." Unlike other photographers I've experienced, Leandra truly wanted to understand us & our love story. She made our story feel so unique, like it was the most beautiful love story she has ever told. Leandra takes the time to personally get to know you and your partner, she wants to know what you'd like to get out your experience with her by asking amazing questions like "How do you want our time shooting together to make you feel?" She worked so hard to capture the essence of our relationship and those specific emotions that are important to us. She has an amazing way of making you feel like you're lifelong friends, just hanging out and celebrating together. Our entire gallery was stunning, emotional, and everything we imagined it to be...of course. Which did not surprise me in the slightest after the incredible time we had spent with her."
