Leigh Hayward Photography, LLC

ves wonderful direction for the perfect shots! We were lucky enough to hang out with her one-on -one (over beers yay) before the wedding to get to know each other. She is such a delight! If you are getting married in Charleston or the Southeast or anywhere hahaha... book Leigh Hayward photography.

us moments - we can't stop looking at them! Thank you for all you did to make our daughter's rehearsal dinner and wedding photos exceptional.

ese photos and cannot stop going through them. We have already shared them with family and friends! Even though we already had our Save the Dates printed before the shoot, we will definitely be re-printing. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much, Leigh!!! <3

ing with her time and our goals and needs. We can’t wait till our wedding to see the love, excitement and glory of our beautiful day!

t both her personality and her work! We basically planned a destination wedding to Charleston in less than 6 weeks (which is very stressful, as you may imagine), and Leigh went out of her way to make sure she was as helpful and prepared as she could be. I honestly knew I had made the right decision in choosing her from the moment we first spoke on the phone. For example, she had online forms to fill out identifying which photos to make sure were included (ex: family combinations, closeups of items) and requested the names of everyone in each photo combination. It all paid off as I felt comfortable knowing we didn’t miss any shots and she impressed everyone by calling people by their names during the shoot. She also remained SO helpful and positive throughout the whole process and used humor to keep everyone laughing and smiling during the photo shoot after our ceremony. We also had a rather difficult venue to find all the “perfect shots” (Angel Oak Tree) as there were LOTS of people walking around behind us in front of the tree – she was so patient in waiting for people to walk by and even blurred some people out of the photos before she sent them to us.. which was not required but was so appreciated! The edited photos came to us only a few days after the ceremony. Besides her great character, patience, and ability to work so well under less than ideal situations, she really did exceed our expectations in her attention to detail both in the photos and in making sure we had the perfect day. The pictures turned out SO beautiful, I honestly want to print every single one of them and will cherish them forever :) Finally, not only was she extremely talented, personable, kind, detailed, and prompt in her responses to questions while planning and at the venue.. I found her very affordable for either longer/larger weddings or very small weddings like ours (we had 15 people and ended up hiring her for 2 hours) and willing to work with you to find the perfect package. I truly cannot recommend Leigh enough and guarantee if you hire her you will be incredibly grateful you did!

love through photography. I knew you were the best choice.

ays makes sure to capture all of the important details. We highly recommend her!

nd stressfree. She was fun to work with and adapted seamlessly when the weather was cold, cloudy, and even raining! She brought a clear umbrella for my husband and I to share, and those were some of my favorite shots. Leigh was a dream to have as our wedding photographer, and I highly recommend her if you want someone who listens, is kind and looks for those real tender moments. Thanks again Leigh!

If we weren't from Virginia, which is where we're having our wedding, she would definitely be our pick for our special day.

scouted out locations before hand for us to preview as possible shots. Leigh was amazing and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional photos! She was fantastic!

one's names which was a nice touch. She took so many careful, creative, and beautiful shots. She really focused on the details that I would want to remember about my wedding day. She made sure to get all of the important shots during our ceremony! She did a great job of directing people around to make the whole event run much smoother. I really feel as though she was genuinely happy for me, not just on a professional level, but on a personal level. She does wonderful work for an exceptional value! Her turn-around time was very quick and she gave me a large amount of photos which was nice! I highly recommend her for all of your photo needs!! Thank you so much again, Leigh!

d they turned out absolutely beautiful! She also was able to capture the most memorable moments from our wedding. My husband and I live in Michigan and we had all our pictures sent to us on a flash drive within 1 week. She is very efficient! I am so excited to see the memory books that she has prepared for us. I couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get photos done in the Charleston/Hilton Head area! We will definitely be using her again in the future.

anized and easy to work with. She comes with good ideas of different poses! Getting the pictures from her couldn't have been easier and so fast! (two things I worry about when picking photographers especially since we were from out of state) She was super easy to work with and made the session a lot of fun.

defiantly be using her again in the future!

her over the years and will definitely use her again in the future!

"shot list" but had also asked for other picture/ideas that we may have been interested in. -I love that she did that, since I had seen a few examples I was hoping we could capture on our big day! And....she got them all. I only wish we had had her help during the reception- but since she was pregnant and a "guest" also- we had someone else (friend) help out w/ those! They came out well- but weren't Leigh's pictures!! :) Leigh was professional and fun- I'd highly recommend her!
