Candidly Yours Photography

Candidly Yours exceeded every expectation I had! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike. From the moment he arrived at our hotel to the last dance of the night, he was truly a joy to work with. He is not only incredibly talented, but he made sure that everyone was relaxed and having fun the entire day. He is courteous, responsive, and professional. He managed to be everywhere to capture these sweet, candid moments without even knowing he was there. Photos are forever, and you only get one shot. Hiring Mike was one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire wedding planning process.

Mike does beautiful work and has a personality to match. Have only gotten sneak peaks so far from my daughters wedding, but they have me impatiently wanting to see the rest. I highly recommend him for any event. You won't be disappointed.

Before booking Mike Leonardi I actually had the pleasure of seeing his work first hand at a previous wedding. When my husband suggested him to me for our wedding there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted him as our photographer. Mike is an absolute blast to have around; he has no problem standing on tables/walls/etc...you name it, he works around it and will get that perfect shot. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does for a living. Not only does his photography speak for itself, he will keep you and your guests laughing all day long. I can't thank him enough for capturing all of our special moments between the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, ceremony and reception. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars because he deserves way more!

My husband and I are very happy with our decision to have chosen Mike Leonardi from Candidly Yours Photography as our wedding photographer. First and most importantly, the pictures turned out beautifully and captured all of the moments throughout the day. Mike is known for his candid style of photography and he really captures the true emotion of the moment. From the day we met him, he was honest and fair with us. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early to take pictures of us getting ready for our big day and was there to the very end of the reception. Coming from such a large family with a lot of children, we needed someone who had a lot of patience. Not only was he patient and kind to the children, he knew all the tricks to get them to behave for pictures, which meant a lot to us. At one point, one of my bridesmaids had a button pop off her dress and Mike literally pulled out a sewing kit from his bag and quickly fixed it up. After the wedding, it took a few short weeks before our photos were ready and he checked up to make sure we were happy with the results, which we were more than happy with. I have only good things to say about Candidly Yours Photography and highly recommend Mike as a photographer for any special occasion.

Contacted Mike kind of late notice. He replied almost immediately and was eager to help us out. He met me with and provided his portfolio and I hired him on the spot. Great photos, got everything we wanted and tons of candida. Great work. It's hard to pick what to print from all of the photo he took. Super responsive and fun to work with!

There aren't enough words to describe how totally awesome Candidly Yours Photography by Mike Leonardi truly is. Mike had us laughing from the first time we met him. He handled every curve ball we threw at him like a true champ. From helping the guys with their boutonnières, to lugging his equipment through the strip district, to standing on garbage cans just to get the perfect shot, and every moment in between. Not only is he a great photographer, but he's also a hell of a good time to be around. We were so happy to have him be a part of our day. And if all that wasn't enough, his prices were the most reasonable I could find in the Pittsburgh area. It's not often that you find a photographer who is professional, fun to work with, and fairly priced. And finally (and most importantly for me) Mike was able to professionally edit all of our photos and have them ready for us to see within in one month! Thanks again Mike, we could not have been more happy with your work. I know I've said it 100 times, but you truly are the best!

Mike was a great photographer. He captured moments throughout the course of our special day and made each one look great. I love the classic feel to his photos. The handsome shots he took will remind me of all the best parts of our day for years to come. Book this guy with confidence.

Mike photographed our wedding Labor Day weekend. It was such an amazing time and he really captured all of the fun and beautiful moments perfectly. Not only that, but he fit right in with all of our friends and family. He is truly one of a kind and if you are looking for beautiful portraits and great in the moment pictures, Mike is the perfect photographer!! He was also great with direction and helping me know where to be and when. He's a real pro and we were honored to have him as a part of our big day! The pictures were absolutely amazing!

When looking for a wedding photographer, you look at three things; the quality of their work, the price, & their reviews. When my husband and I came across Candidly Yours Photography by Mike Leonardi, we couldn't have found a better match. He captured the most beautiful moments at our wedding, that we will cherish forever. From getting ready, to the ceremony, and the reception; there was not one detail that he didn't capture. I seriously cry every time we look through our photos. Simply saying thank you, could never be enough.

Great photos! Beautifully done!

We are so thankful to have had Candidly Yours Photography by Mike Leonardi at our wedding. After the craziest happiest day of our life (so far), we remembered about two maybe three things that happened that day. Mike however was there for every moment. He captured every moment we asked him to and so many more candid shots that tell the true story of what our wedding was like. I asked Mike to travel to four different places and I never once had to worry about him arriving on time or getting lost. He made sure to key in the addresses to his GPS in advance and kept to the schedule that we set. Mike was funny and professional. He was comfortable to talk to and work with. My grandmothers were in my bridal party and I couldn’t have been more grateful for a photographer who took so much care and patience with them. Mike is at the top in his profession. He knew exactly how to set up each picture to capture the big moments yet still pick apart every tiny detail. We are so happy with the memories that Mike captured and would absolutely recommend him for any event that you may have.

Mike is wonderful to work with, he was there to capture all aspects of our big day - from hair/make up to riding in the party bus with us all the way through the reception. He was great at positioning us for good photos and instructing my husband in how to pose (he needed some help lol). By the end of the night Mike was like an old friend. We are so excited to get back all of our photos. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone I know.

Mike is great! He definitely has the personality and patience for a wedding photographer! Our engagement pictures last fall were beautiful and we received them in a timely manner! Mike and our second photographer were both on time and dressed professionally. Mike's prices are reasonable and you truly get quality work! Were waiting to receive our wedding album, but I am anticipating a beautiful wedding album!

I couldn't have dreamed for anything better from my amazing photographer Mike! He gave me everything that I asked for and more! My husband and I were so excited to work with Mike and were not let down! We will be going back to Mike for all of our family pictures to come!!!
