Patty Leonor Photography

ful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

en expected from your wedding photographer. But she is much more than just an outstanding photographer; she in such an amazing person and truly an emotional support on your wedding day. She is always there making sure things are going smooth and that you are doing great on your wedding day, which is not even her job but she still does it. And the photos speak for themselves! Cannot wait to work with her again. 🤍

etime. She captured moments I didn’t even know I needed photos of. To top off her talent, she made the day go by seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about anything or round up folks for pictures—Patty took care of literally everything. She always communicated promptly and responded right away with my questions and requests. She is a complete professional and a talented artist with an eye for special moments and timeless editing. Take my advice and book her now!!!

op of things when I couldn't keep track of all our vendors. Not only was she professional and organized, but she made us feel like our wedding was just as much of a dream come true for her. Our whole family and wedding party agreed she was so fun and great to work with, and our photos were everything we could have hoped for. She gave us a sample of our photos less than 24 hours after the wedding, just when the "wedding is over" sadness was kicking in, so we got to relive some of our favorite moments right away. She had all the edited photos to us unbelievably quickly as well and we can't stop looking at them! I would (and probably will) definitely work with Patty again in the future.

whole process, and she did everything in her power to make sure things went smoothly on the big day! She is just as kind and lovely as she is talented, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an AMAZING photographer that will put their mind at ease during all the stress of wedding planning, and on top of it deliver you the most dreamy pictures you'll ever lay eyes on!

o get all of the best shots throughout our day. My husband agrees that the best money we spent on the wedding was Patty!!! Our family and friends have been raving about the photos we’ve received in sneak peeks, we can’t wait to see the entire album. This will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day if you book Patty Leonor Photography!

great at what they do and then some - she made us feel at ease, was extremely organized, even helped bustle my dress for the reception & then delivered beautiful images just weeks after our wedding was done for us to reminisce on that perfect day any time we want! Go hire Patty now, you won’t regret it! ❤️

was right for us and how to schedule our day to minimize stress and maximize photo opportunities. I am still shocked and impressed when I think about how efficiently she got through our extensive family photo list! Our gallery is unbelievable and worth every penny. If you book with Patty, you will not regret it! =D

as a very important vendor role for me to fill. When it came to working with Patty she was very quick to respond, honest, helpful, and detailed. I knew we were in good hands and would have the gorgeous photos I dreamed of to look back on our day. Patty delivered on just that! Wow - seriously the most amazing gallery of photos! I highly recommend Patty for your wedding photographer. She will take care of you and capture your big day perfectly!

eing so comfortable with her help. She has a great eye for pictures and was up for getting different shots. We truly enjoyed our time with her!

ity for the job. It worked out so well because she is friendly, funny, but is not scared to take control. Exactly what a bride needs on the day of her wedding to get things accomplished in a timely manor. She is on top of her timeline and shot list which is all apart of the preplanning process.

he wedding, she was there for guidance, support and encouragement; not to mention she took amazing photos!!! Thank you Patty for the memories that will last beyond our years, you truly captured our day!

ped with all the little things... she even helped my mom put on my boutonnière. She did what we hired her for and then some... I truly believe our wedding day went as well as it did because of Patty. Thank you!

the way to make you feel supported and organized. We had a huge bridal party and yet she got every single photo that we asked for and kept people on schedule. Her photo quality doesn't get any better as well! I can't rave about her work more. We are even using a photo she took at our engagement session as our book cover (Redefining Normal)!!

r Mike and I for our engagement photos and knew exactly what we wanted. She vibes well with everyone and works so hard for the perfect shot. I promise you, she will never disappoint you. Thank you Patty for everything. I can't wait to continue to work with you <3

times and I felt terrible for that, but she never complained or made it seem like she couldn't come. Her timelines for our wedding was perfect and I was so thankful for her because she kept us on track! Trust me, you need that for a bride because time moves fast, and you can lose track easily. She also takes pride in her work, and it shows through her pictures, her personality, and everything about her. It's beautiful to watch the creativity that she has! We got some sneak peeks the day after the wedding and we were astounded at how beautiful our pictures came out! We can't wait to see the rest! Needless to say, she is worth every opportunity to work with! Thank you again Patty for being who you are and loving what you do! We don't think our wedding day would have been the same without you!

we just tied the knot on 8/29/2020. Since the day I first reached out to Patty, her genuine love for this profession and her amazing talent shined through in every aspect. She is so easy to talk to, she responds quick and truly cares about how you are feeling during each photoshoot and in life. Her website says, "you invest in me, I invest in you." I am here to tell you that, that is 100% true. This is Patty's career, but it is also her passion and that is why her work is amazing. She hypes you up to make you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, which is much needed for most people considering photoshoots aren't any everyday ordeal. I could go on and on about Patty and her amazing work, but just looking at her pictures I don't have to say much to convince you. Pictures last a life time and Patty truly knows how to capture the moments in each picture. My husband and I are forever grateful for that. We recommend Patty for any and all photoshoots! :)

n her, but our lifetime family photographer as well. You will not be disappointed!

engagement session with her, and she was intentional about taking the time to get to know us before our wedding day - she truly cares about her couples. In the days leading up to our wedding, Patty also took quite a bit of time to go over her plan for our day, and our many questions, which really helped us feel at ease. My husband and I, and our friends and family, all felt so comfortable around her. We had some unexpected rain before we got to finish our photos outdoors, but Patty switched gears to find spots for indoor shots and set up lighting without skipping a beat - they turned out great! We also used her photo booth during our reception (highly recommended, everyone loved it!), and her husband was the sweetest and very patient with the never-ending line of people. All our pictures turned out better than we could have imagined. Not only is Patty a very talented photographer, she is a blessing of a human. I HIGHLY recommend her services!

ed the best hype girl, helped me get ready, and even played a part of planning and getting stuff set up. She is amazing right? Sometimes I can get camera shy, but she made it SO fun and SO easy. When she sent us our wedding photos, I was OVER THE MOON SO FREAKING HAPPY with them. I still can’t stop looking at our wedding photos and dreaming about our perfect day all over again. Literally don’t think anybody else could have captured our wedding day better than Patty. 10/10 would recommend her for your wedding or other photoshoots 🙂

flexible when I contacted her about taking photos for our intimate wedding. From the beginning, she showed that she truly cared about me and wanted me to have the best wedding day. On my wedding day she was very organized and made sure that I got all of the pictures that I wanted. She even sent a few sneak peaks the night of our wedding which was absolutely amazing. After getting my full gallery back, I can honestly say that there is no one else I would have rather trusted to capture my wedding day. Thank you Patty for capturing photos that I will cherish for a lifetime.

act. Her website was super easy to use and payment online was ideal. For our engagement photos I asked Patty to come to our home. We had just bought the house and it eased both of us because we had never had our pictures taken like this before. She played music and gave direction the whole time, it was never awkward like I had imagined. When it came down to the wedding she was on top of it, she helped with a time line and suggested that we say our vows during our first look. This was honestly the best advice, we got all our jitters out and cried so during the ceremony we could smile and enjoy the moment. Matt and I have very large families and she worked well with all of them. After the wedding I got my pictures back in a timely manner and the website she recommend for printing was great. She’s a rock star! Thanks Patty!

t to know us. The morning of the wedding Patty was going above and beyond helping me stay calm and working behind the scenes. She kept us on schedule and was always checking in on us. She really cared about how we were feeling and even made sure my husband and I had some alone time to celebrate after the ceremony. Patty also helped my husband and I feel super comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely love our wedding pictures ❤️ She is so talented and we highly recommend her!!

location well, posed everyone great, and the color schemes were beautiful. We received compliments on from others in the wedding party and from family members how she knew what she was doing. We continue to get compliments on our wedding pictures and I love looking through them to revisit that day. Patty returned the photos back to us in a timely manner and they were a great quality with the ability to blow them up on a canvas and still look great. I highly recommend Patty if having a great photographer is a high priority like mine was.

ase. She was punctual, efficient, calm, and FUN! She was also so so so helpful in the planning process too, which cannot be understated. Since she's photographed so many weddings, she gave me valuable tips on the schedule and the process as a whole. And truly, honestly -- the images Patty captured are perfect. I will treasure them forever. She's a true professional and a beautiful person inside and out!

table in front of the camera. My husband and I absolutely loved our engagement and wedding pictures that Patty took. I feel like she does such a wonderful job capturing our personalities through the lens. For our wedding she was very efficient and worked in a timely manner. She made sure we had all of the pictures we were hoping for on our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend Patty to anyone! We can’t wait to work with her again for future photo shoots!

s, and reassurance that their photos will be beautiful on that rainy but amazing day!

line, to the wedding day, she was thorough and organized from beginning to end. I cant forget to add, she was kind through it all. She’s a great person to work with. If you’re interested in her work I’d suggest you’d book her.

to mind is admirable. I can’t look at her work and not admire it. Not only is her work admirable, but so is the beautiful soul behind the lens. She is bold, confident and knows how to calm those pesky wedding jitters! She made our wedding day such a blast – she even let us bust a move or two for the camera! I can speak for both my husband and I that we both get a little nervous in front of the camera, but she had the perfect touch to make us more confident and just have fun with it! Even beyond that, she took the time for more intimate shots of my husband and I with portraits capturing the emotion, both joy and the simple awe of the moment. Yes, she has beautiful photos but the heart she puts into it is what really stole ours! I am so thankful to have chosen Patty to capture our forever!

reciated!). She captured..."us". I would highly recommend her for any of your photography needs- engagement, wedding, family, etc. You won't be disappointed.

rapher to be apart of our journey. Very sweet person. Very kind. And amazing quality.

0 am on 8/17/19... early for everyone to be ready and organized, Patty was on point! Patty is thorough, organized and her pre-wedding wish list for photos made the day go smoothly. The posed and random photos captured the feeling and love of the special day. Patty got the pictures edited and delivered the finished ones in a timely manner! Looking at the pictures fills my heart with memories of the day! I would highly recommend her business and skills to anyone. I would use her again, but no more weddings in our future, we’ve married all of ours off! But maybe future baby photos 🤞🤷🏻‍♀️... I love looking at Patty’s blog and website to see other photos she has done, wedding, family sessions and Senior Pictures!

Despite not meeting prior, and our only means of contact before our wedding was through text and email we felt right at home with her. Patty took the weirdness out of getting your picture taken all day long, and made it fun! She is such a talented person and we are so incredibly lucky that she was the one to document our love and marriage. I could go on about how great she is but I think the pictures speak for themselves.

s with her wherever she goes. She is so willing to work with her clients on crazy things like traveling to locations or weather mishaps. If you choose to have Patty photograph any big event or milestone in your life you won’t be disappointed! Her prices are fair and a bargain for what amazing & quality memories you are receiving in return!

mention her work is absolutely beautiful.

quality she produced. I've wanted her to be my wedding photographer for years, so when I was finally engaged she actually was one of the first people I messaged because I was so excited to hire her! She helped make my husband and I super comfortable during our engagement pictures and on our wedding day. She helped things run super smoothly! She even called me a few weeks before the wedding just to ask if I had any questions, concerns, or requests. She ended up giving me some general wedding advice! If i could give her 10/5 stars, I would! Thanks for everything, Patty! Besos!! ;)

was the very first time meeting her & I felt like I knew her forever. Not only did we share similar stories of loss in our life which connected us but she connected with everyone at my wedding party too! My husband & I felt extremely comfortable with her as she was capturing very intimate moments after our ceremony. I felt she was my proud big sister encouraging me in every shot. We received our wedding photos sooner than we expected on such a special day- Our first month as a married couple. My husband & I cried as we saw the pictures & could remember every single detail captured. I think having a great photographer is the of the best investment you make in your wedding so you must choose wisely! I thank God lead us to Patty because we now treasure great pictures but also amazing memories! After the whole wedding commotion, Patty & I remain good friends & I continue to support her! She is a blessing to many & to us - Shalim & Jailene Otero! From Virginia. Married May 19, 2019. We love you Patty!

get my dream photos and the turned out better than I could imagine. Patty was super easy to get along with and made us all feel comfortable which is key to getting good photos.

t comes to working with different types of lighting situations -inside, outside, whatever. When she photographed us for an engagement session, I was nervous at first because I don’t like posing/feel awkward, but she made it SO natural and even way more fun than I expected! My husband even had a great time and now we have beautiful photos we can look at and reminisce on for life! I’m thankful for her, highly recommend her, and would say she is one of the best photographers I’ve ever met.

it feel awkward, her photo booth is amazing that she has. I cannot wait to see all of the photos from that day! Highly recommend.

otos and graduation photos. I can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding. Also, she has a photo booth!! You get the whole package with Patty!!

happier with how they turned out! We had 2 super gloomy days, but the pictures are so beautiful you would never guess. My husband and I are both a little camera shy and Patty makes you feel comfortable and plays music to make things more fun and she is great at getting those candid shots. Patty is down to earth and relaxed, but super professional and organized at the same time. She takes her time to talk with you and get to know you and what you want so that you will have no worries on your big day. Picking Patty to photograph our big day was the best decision and we are so thankful for all her hard work and kindness! We LOVE our photos!

She arrived at our venue early and was super helpful and friendly, she kept us all on track, and was great at helping us with poses and simply acting natural for the camera. She captured our family, friends, our wedding venue details, and us in the most beautiful shots. We hired Patty because we wanted quality photos and a reliable photographer and she went above and beyond. We recommend her 10/10! She even had our wedding pictures ready for us within weeks of the wedding. We could not be happier!

ked with several photographers in the past for various events, but she's the first one that's ever been able to capture our emotions and feelings in a photograph. I'm SO very pleased that we selected her to be a part of our special day. She created an environment in which both my husband and I felt comfortable throughout the whole day (side note: my hubby's not a big fan of photos either, so this was no small feat!). Additionally, I found her prices to be reasonable, which was important to us as we were trying to maintain a budget for our wedding. I will continue to recommend her to anyone I know looking for a wedding photographer!
