Where do I even start? Desiree is so personable and it shows in her work! We hired her for engagement pictures and we couldn’t be happier with our photos and experience! Thank you ...
Desiree!
Desiree Leilani’s work speaks for itself. I’ve followed her on Instagram for a while and after seeing her work, I knew I wanted to book her.
From the initial conversation to book...
, to the actual day of the photo shoot, and after the editing and all to the final photos; everything went flawlessly. She is very prompt, soo professional, and communicates quickly. (And I’ve asked her a ton of questions lol!)
She not only makes sure the photos come out beautifully she made me feel very comfortable throughout the shoot (which can sometimes be awkward imo).
I highly recommend Desiree Leilani for all your photo shoot needs. She will not disappoint! Thank you Desiree💛
If you happen to be in any of the Hawaiian islands, or New York, and you want to capture yourself in a life changing way... do yourself a favour and contact Desiree Leilani. She i...
s BEYOND talented, so professional, and very personable. She has a very calming presence while also being so supportive. We eloped so we were extremely nervous and alone on our special day, and im so thankful for everything she did for us from zipping up my gown, to telling me i looked amazing while i was walking down the aisle alone. I had a vision of how i wanted our day to be captured, to be immortalized in a very timeless, and romantic way... while also being natural and true to us as a couple. She was conscious of absolutely little every detail. It was like she read my mind and added her brilliant twist to it. She was so professional in responding to my many many emails promptly, addressing every single question i had, with thoughtful insight. While shooting our wedding day she remembered every little detail i wanted to include in every photo. She took so many pictures while we werent looking and werent posing which ended up being some of our favourite moments from the day, and we are so grateful she did that. She was very accommodating traveling to our island, and even saved us money in the cost of the travel. She spent way more time with us than she was obligated to. She magically finished the last 15 minutes of our shoot after i passed out from heat exhaustion. She sent us much appreciated sneak peeks the next day. She sent us twice as many photos as we were expecting... and had them all ready in half the time we were expecting. She is honestly a master of her craft. Her work speaks volumes as to how much she is absolutely adores what she does. The photography was sooo so so important to us, and her work exceeded our most hopeful expectations. When we look at our pictures it still brings us to tears, and when we show people our pictures they always comment on how perfect the photography is and tell us it belongs in a magazine. We could not have found a better photographer to invest in and trust to capture the most special day of our lives. She honestly made us, and the whole day look a million times better than we ever could have possibly imagined. She made us look, and feel, like a piece of art, and we are forever grateful. She is truly a visionary artist. And in addition to all of that, shes also an extremely down to earth, beautiful human being. Choose Desiree, it will change your life forever.

For our wedding photographer, Desiree was recommended to me by a dear friend, who began following her on Instagram. Once I had clicked on her page, I was in love. At that time, Des...
iree had more captured footage of romantic couples in their homes, but it was her style and perspective that I was drawn too. Her colors are a bit dark, and if you like that, that’s what you’ll get. I am a fan of candid shots and moments that only the creative mind can see, and Desiree is just that. She had photographed our wedding in July 2018 and since then, her clientele has grown. Please keep in mind that she is a newer photographer compared to those that have been in the industry for decades, and she will also capture lots of detailed photos of the items involved in the wedding. What I loved most about her was her words of encouragement throughout the stressful day and as a bride, you need that too. She made me feel beautiful behind the camera. She’s also very quick with getting you the images after the wedding. I recommend Desiree to any bride who is able to put their trust in the photographer and will be thankful for the outcome.
Desiree (and here assistant) were amazing to work with! She was beyond helpful throughout the entire process, but especially on the wedding day. She really listened to the vision a...
nd inspiration I had for the day, and gave us such beautiful photos that I am proud to display as art in our home. Highly recommend!
Desiree really knows how to bring emotions into her photography. Looking back at our wedding photos two months later still brings us to tears. It is unbelievable how she’s able to ...
capture those real and raw emotions in her photos. We are both so lucky to have stumbled upon Desiree through Instagram and looking through her portfolio, there was absolutely no hesitation that she was the one we wanted there for our big day. She is very down to earth and very easy to talk to. Conversations with her happens very naturally.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to pose yourself, she will do it for you. She made it easy and comfortable for us in front of the lens, which is very important for us because we wanted to be in the moment. We didn’t want to have to worry about looking awkward in the photos. We just had so much fun with her. She really gave us something that is absolutely timeless. She’s the kind of person that you can trust 100% to give you breathtaking memories under any circumstance.
Thank you for all you’ve done for us Desiree, we cannot stop recommending you to our friends!
