Leah Renee Photography

We were married July 24 and did not receive our photos until October 20, little over 12 weeks later. She also told us she would send previews the Tuesday or Wednesday after our wedding (July 27 or 28th, 2021). Never received them, so I texted her Aug. 15th as a reminder. She apologized and said she would send some the next day (the 16th). Still nothing, she was again messaged on the 19th as a reminder. We finally received them later that night. She does not have an eye for details. In our big wedding party picture, some of our groomsmen were behind the podium at the church, while the rest of us were not. She could have easily had them move in front to make all of the bridal party visible in the picture. She also did not have my husband and I pose at all. Most of the pictures are just us smiling and kissing for the camera because that was what was natural for us. She did not ask us to pose to get any cute bride and groom pictures. I had never had “professional” photos taken before, so I didn’t realize that I had to provide some pose ideas. I assumed that was the job of the photographer. Please be cautious of who you hire for your special day. Your wedding pictures are a big deal; you will have them FOREVER. Do not be like me and settle for a photographer just because they are local and/or more affordable than other photographers. Please do your research, read their reviews, look at all of their albums, compare with other photographers. If you don’t, you’ll end up with some unprofessional, dishonest, “hot mess express” photographer with excuses for days, like Leah.

hotos. We are very pleased with our experience working with Leah! It says she is based out of Traverse City, but she took pictures of us in petoskey!

at our wedding. Not only am I shy of attention, I was nervous about the photographer dealing delicately with my father, who has stage four pancreatic cancer, and was struggling physically the day of the wedding. Instead of feeling pushed by Leah, I felt incredibly supported from the moment I stepped out of the car. She was extremely accommodating and kind about my dad, and matched our joyful but low key energy. She as also up for anything, we stopped at two random places on the way to the ceremony in Northport and she jumped out and took some truly amazing shots. These impromptu sessions were honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. I am so grateful for her support that day, and over the moon with the beautiful photos she took. Thank you so much Leah!

re you're getting exactly what you want. Her location is perfect, and she knows the best places for photos. From beaches, to rolling hills or cityscape , Leah is able to capture your vision!!! I highly recommend!!!!
