Where do I even start?!?! From the random questions to brainstorming locations to day of planning, I cannot recommend Leah enough! I first had an intro chat with Leah, and many other photographers, about a year out from our wedding. There was this calming, yet exciting, feeling with Leah. I could tell she loved her job and truly wanted me to pick a photographer for ME. I just had a feeling about Leah… so we booked with her! Our engagement session was everything I envisioned but our wedding day was even better!
Leah knew how to pose us, how to talk to us, and how to make us feel confident and comfortable. Then the gallery was delivered…. And I was blown away. Leah so beautifully captured our wedding day and made sure to include all the small details. I have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and how Leah did such an incredible job.
We plan to continue to work with Leah moving forward for family photos. She was such an important part of our wedding day and you won’t be disappointed when booking with her!
We wish we could give Leah 100 stars for how amazing she and Landon were. Leah and Landon, in addition to being incredibly talented, are some of the most genuine, kind, and personable people we had the pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were with us for what seemed like our entire wedding day and were fantastic. We were generally sad to see them go. We got our photos in an incredibly quick turnaround time and they are all beautiful; we cannot recommend this photographer enough.
Our wedding photography experience with Leah was absolutely phenomenal! If I could give more than five stars, I would! Leah is a true artist with an incredible eye.
Leah effortlessly and beautifully documented every moment of our special day, emphasizing the genuine laughter and the sheer fun that filled the entire day. She and Landon perfectly captured candid moments and genuine expressions that perfectly reflect the happiness everyone felt during our celebration.
What sets Leah apart is her talent for not just taking pictures but telling a story through each shot. The composition, lighting, and attention to detail created images that we will cherish for a lifetime! The hardest job we’ve ever had to do is pick our favorites for an album. We might just have to make a separate album for each part of the day!
Leah is such a joy to work with. She is so kind, professional and organized and puts everyone at ease, making the photography sessions not only enjoyable but also a seamless part of the festivities. She even went as far as asking for our favorite music to play during our sessions to make us feel most comfortable.
If you're looking for a photographer who captures the true spirit of a celebration with a perfect blend of creativity and professionalism, Leah is the one. We are beyond grateful for the memories preserved for us, and we are already planning to use Leah for family portraits every year!
Thank you, Leah, for turning our laughter and joy into timeless works of art.
Looking through our photos on our one year anniversary was very touching. Leah did an incredible job capturing and editing our special day. I am so thankful we invested in Leah's talent so that we can enjoy these memories for many years to come.
Leah was the absolute best! We aren't super photogenic and were nervous about the whole process, but Leah always made us feel so comfortable. From the first meeting, she was extremely attentive and organized. Both our engagement session and day-of interactions with Leah were professional and she did an amazing job of directing us. We loved all of our photos and were shocked in how quickly she turned around the final gallery! Highly recommend Leah for all your photography needs.
Leah was an absolute dream to work with, and she really helped set everyone at ease when they were nervous about getting photos taken. Her work was absolutely breathtaking, and even with the preview photos, raving over them. She did a great job of realistically capturing the night, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer.
Leah is wonderful! Due to Covid we kept our wedding very small, only nine of us. Photos were incredibly important to me so we could share our day with so many who couldn't be there in person. Leah understood completely, and more than delivered. When I was searching for a photographer I reached out to several. Leah was not only the first to respond, but the most kind and engaging. Our plans changed multiple times in the weeks leading up to the wedding. I would reach out to Leah worried and a little panicked. She always responded quickly with positivity and understanding. She sent us our photos promptly - and I just love them. She captured our day and the few of us there perfectly. I appreciate Leah's creativity, kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Leah and can't wait to work with her again for future family photos.
We chose Leah Rife photography after searching the internet and stumbling upon some of her beautiful photos for another wedding. It was really important for us that we felt comfortable with our wedding photographer since both of us hate pictures and rarely ever have professional photos taken. We took advantage of a wedding package that included engagement pictures so we could spend time getting to know how Leah and learn how to act in front of a camera. Leah was great and had such good ideas for photos and locations. Like many 2020 wedding couples, we had to make some changes when it came to our original wedding plans. When we were forced to postpone our May wedding, Leah was so incredibly kind and flexible in working with us to find a new date. She continued to check in on us while we were making changes to our plans and was just so supportive.
When it came to our wedding day, we followed a tight schedule and utilized the form Leah had sent us earlier in the month to make sure we didn’t miss any pictures. We had a first look and completed every wedding photo prior to the ceremony (with the exception of some extended family photos between ceremony and reception). Leah and her second shooter were so punctual and on top of the timing, that we were actually able to finish pictures a little early so we could relax before the ceremony. We received some sneak peek photos a week or two after our wedding and are looking forward to seeing the rest soon. She’s just been a joy to work with and was so chill and professional, it really helped keep the day stress-free! We can’t thank Leah and her team enough for capturing these truly special moments on our day.
We LOVED having Leah as our wedding photographer. She made everyone so comfortable, and worked so efficiently. Plus, her pictures ARE BEAUTIFUL. I am a total type-a bride, and she was just a dream to work with. I can not recommend her enough. 10/10 would recommend!
