I cannot recommend Leslie Cress Photography enough. She was able to so artfully capture our wedding, and our photographs came out even better than I imagined. I loved the way she captured all the subtle colors of our fall wedding. Best of all, the photos feel like "us" as a couple. Leslie was great about guiding my husband and I during photos to make sure we captured the best angles and lighting. She was very timely with returning our photos to us, even in the hustle and bustle of the busy fall wedding season. We love our photos!

Leslie and Michael are the most lovely people to work with! We did our engagement session with Leslie to get a feel for her style and be sure we worked well with her. She was great! They both showed up a few minutes ahead of schedule for our wedding, and listened to all the the things we did/did not want to do. They were patient when traffic prevented our families from getting to the photo session on time. We loved working with Leslie and Michael and would highly recommend them.
