Leana Myra Photography

ont of the camera, and Leana was RIGHT when she reassured us that she'd help us feel totally comfortable and free to enjoy our day. She made suggestions that really improved the day, but also gave us space to do our own thing. Most importantly - the photos are GREAT! I couldn't believe how perfect everything looked when we got our photos back (and she got them back to us QUICKLY in the middle of a super busy time!!!). I'd strongly recommend Leana to anyone getting married on the Central Coast.

sibly put it. However, my wedding photos look like the whimsical, fairytale I had dreamed of. Leana managed to capture every beautiful moment all while regulating my coordinator who was determined to ruin my day and directing everyone seamlessly. She was seriously more like my planner and wedding photographer combined. She was also the only person who could make me feel better on (not kidding) be of the hardest days of my life. She was my wedding saving grace. My photos are perfect and I gained a treasured friend. I will now forever use Leana for any time I need some happiness captured. She will for sure be my lifelong photographer for all my future milestones. I.e., kids, birthdays, honeymoons - anything else I can possibly think of. I can’t sing her praises enough. She’s an angel 🫶🏼

thing along the way, from helping me pick out outfits for our engagement shoot to the timeline for the wedding. I could text her anytime and she was incredibly responsive. We interviewed several other photographers, but no one felt as warm, genuine or as enthusiastic as Leana so we went with her--- and our instincts were right. After our wedding, I told her that it felt like a friend was there taking our pictures, not just a vendor. If I could do one thing differently I would have planned ahead and booked more time for a bridal shoot or something else! I would highly recommend.

e ball and made sure I understood everything within her contract and answered any questions I had quickly. She reached out to me about going over the wedding day plans! She spoke with me several times before the wedding to make sure everything would go smoothly! Day of she arrived early and was the sweetest person ever! She helped me manage the wedding day craziness of my family and made sure she got every picture I wanted beautifully. Her time management was perfect and made sure we took all pictures at the times needed. Not to mention every single picture she took was breathtaking! I was beyond pleased with Leana in every single aspect!

cs forever, and highly recommend hiring her!

to find another, I found Sasha with Somewhere studios who agreed to take on the task...only to find out she was unable to be there the day of as well, BUT she could connect me with Leana and I'm so glad she did! Leana is INCREDIBLY sweet, professional, and attentive. She made sure to reach out to me before hand to ease any worries I might have had with the day approaching. She showed up early on the day of, made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride on earth with endless compliments and captured our day from beginning to end! Although she did not do the final edits on my photos, she offered to give me backups in case I wanted extra!! At the end of the day I got 1000+ photos to go through and I seriously couldn't be any happier! And that's not saying enough; my entire bridal party LOVED her and continued to compliment and praise her to me even after our wedding! I think for someone to take on not one, but several brides last minute is saying A LOT about who Leana is as a person and professional. I would 10/10 recommend her over and over again

My husband and I are both a little camera shy and she helped us feel so comfortable and get us out of our shells. By the time it was our wedding day it felt like having a friend be there to support us through the craziness! And our pictures are just incredible. She listened to what style we liked, what we were looking for, and delivered it flawlessly! On top of our gorgeous pictures, she was very responsive and super supportive throughout the whole wedding process. For each session she sent sample pics to us as she was editing and kept us updated throughout the entire process. On top of that, her prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of service she provides! I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience. We truly cherish our photos- so seriously stop your search and book her!

the sneak peek of our photos quicker than we expected. She was very down to earth and made us feel comfortable in front of her camera. She was there to help in any way and she did so on multiple occasions. We appreciated her sense of humor and her ability to bring levity to a rain soaked wedding. Her prices are reasonable and she was so accommodating with her time. She was reassuring when the stress of the wedding came to a head and she made us feel at ease. I’d recommend her to my friends and family. The photos that we have received look great. Thanks again, Leana.

e for some of the best shots ever. We are so in love with our wedding photos, and can't believe there isn't one we don't like. She is so fun to work with and captured us a couple perfectly.

sband and I well! I plan on using her again in the future!

ic canvas print :) Super happy with our choice!

the wedding and most importantly she made me feel excited to have her around at our wedding. This was the most important because I felt 100% comfortable with her from the second she arrived to take photos which helped the photos look and feel natural. She flawlessly blended into the event, everyone enjoyed the day without a photographer in their way and she was still able to get the most amazing photos. She was never intrusive and allowed us enjoy the most important moments of the day, the photos taken during those moments are stunning! We, along with our guests have said that usually you tell people the photo doesn't do the moment justice, but Leana has perfectly encapsulated the emotions and beauty of our day. I highly recommend Leana Myra Photography for the most important moments of your life

nd super talented at what she does. She recently sent us our wedding pictures and I absolutely love them!!! Everyone we have shared them with have had nothing but good things to say about how amazing and beautiful they are. I am so grateful for Leana for capturing our special day. I HIGHLY recommend Leana to anyone looking for a professional photographer. We will surely keep her in mind for any photography needs we may have in the future!

about whether we could even afford a professional photographer, but I saw her add on Craigslist and her pricing was fair for the SLO area, the photos on her blog looked so dreamy and I knew I would regret it if I didn't splurge on this! Leana was super quick to respond to every email and text, which is extremely helpful while planning out all the details of your big day. Although Leana was already booked on our quickly approaching/Labor Day Weekend holiday date, she kindly offered that her assistant photographer Annie Hock was available. Leana did our engagement photos in Morro Bay and did a fantastic job. She was fun and easy to work with and efficiently captured us at our best :) We booked Annie for our wedding and she did a phenomenal job! We did not meet her in person until the day of the wedding but she instantly fit right in with our crew. It was 90 degrees in Cambria during our wedding and Annie hustled the entire time, capture every big moment and all the sweet small candid moments in between. She was non-intrusive and I don't even remember seeing her at all during the ceremony or much during the reception = photo wizard! We truly treasure all of the photos - each and every one was high quality, and she even managed to capture our non-photogenic/easily distracted dog ring bearer Forest posing with us perfectly. I also love how the photos were creatively infused with the natural surroundings, something that was important to me and my husband. Editing turn around time was exactly as promised - 2 weeks for engagement and 30 days for the wedding photos. I also loved how convenient it was to pay online and the online photo gallery was user friendly and simple to download your final photos. Both Leana and Annie are incredibly talented photographers and you will be lucky to have them document your big day!

re we got all the photos we wanted (including sunset photos on the beach!). She captured the best day of our lives and all its details so beautifully. I highly recommend her!!

e picture is beautiful. She was easy to communicate with and made every part of the process stress free. We are so happy that we chose her to capture our special day and know that we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives!

th her. You can tell she loves her work and adores her couples and their individual stories. Every experience we had with her, from the first coffee date, to the engagement shoot, to our wedding day, we felt a whole new level of excitement. She was available and responsive to our emails and texts. She encouraged us through the planning process and always said how much she looked forward to our big day. On top of all that, she was organized and sent us a sample wedding day timeline, as well as a shots list for family/detail photos to make sure nothing was missed. Despite our very tight schedule, she made our wedding day flow smoothly and managed to get every shot we wanted, plus a thousand more beautiful ones. Her assistant, Annie, was a joy to be around. Friendly, easy-going and so, so talented! I recommend Looking Glass Photography to anyone who wants no stress, absolutely gorgeous wedding photos, and a photographer that is not just another vendor, but a new sweet friend. Thank you, Leana, for wedding day memories we will never forget!

concerns I had. Her pricing was far better than anyone else we looked at. She was so supportive during the whole process, and made sure she knew enough about us to give us the exact experience we wanted for the wedding. I had mentioned above we knew no one in California. Leana gave us a large list of vendors she recommended and had worked with. That made it so much easier for us to find quality vendors. Everyone we used was amazing. Now to the pictures. She had multiple cameras, and a variety of picture ideas for us right when she got there. She was beyond knowledgeable and talented. Our pictures were posted to her site which were easily accessible for us and our family to download. She edited over 600 pictures from us to choose from and every single one was incredible. From family pictures, to ceremony, to reception each moment was captured flawlessly. She also did a maternity shoot for my sister in law and those pictures were so beautiful. I would highly recommend Looking Glass to anyone that wants to make sure they have beautiful pictures of their special day. It is one of the most important decisions you make for your one time special moment. Thank you again Leana for your talent and hard work to make our wedding perfect.

t the shot, which is great but it can take away from the vibe of the day. Leana never did any of that and she still took the most amazing pictures of our day! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else there to capture our moments. She truly is a wonderful person and an amazing photographer!

ing was rained on and regardless she did what she could to get the very best photos for us. She makes photo shoots feel so natural and really puts her whole heart into her work. I HIGHLY recommend her for engagement and wedding photos as well! It is pricey, but worth what you pay for.

y appreciated. She was very easy to work with and very responsive. My engagement photos are beautiful and I can't wait to see my wedding photos. On my wedding day, she made me feel relaxed and made she all the photos I wanted were taken. She is very fast, so I was able to enjoy my cocktail hour and didn't have to have posed photos taken for hours on end. My husband really loved that since he does not like his picture taken. Her assistant Jill was wonderful as well. I loved how enthusiastic, fun, and helpful she was. My day would not have been so perfect without Leana.

and I have to admit that I have watched it on repeat ALL DAY long. I am obsessed with every single shot. She captured all of the beauty, and all of the emotion so vividly that it was like we were reliving the day all over again! I am often camera shy, but I felt so comfortable being around her that my anxiety melted away. Leana was never intrusive or obvious. She's like a super stealthy ninja photographer! On top of being great at what she does, Leana was such a joy to work with. She was professional, timely and organized. She never once became frustrated or impatient, but she was able to firmly get everyone together for all of the shots we needed. I LOVED working with Leana and Annie, and I hope that other couples get the chance to work with them too.
