Based in NYC and serving the East Coast & Europe. I’m a former video producer turned published wedding photographer and business coach for visual storytellers.
I take on a select amount of clients per year, which allows me to really get to know my wonderful people and create unforgettable work.
Hi, hello!
"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."
