Sidney Leigh Photography

le. She showed such care and intentionality with every interaction leading up to the wedding, and it was clear she was invested in making our day extra special. Sidney has a natural eye for detail and lighting, capturing the most beautiful photos of us and our family — we will forever be obsessing over our gallery! We feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side on our wedding day. Her expertise put us completely at ease, allowing us to enjoy every moment fully, trusting she’d capture all those memories so beautifully. We can't recommend her enough -- best decision!!!

engagement session through our last dance at our wedding. We're going to cherish the images she captured for the rest of our lives, and we'd recommend her in a heartbeat to everyone looking for breathtaking, authentic, high-quality images of life's most important moments.

our wedding from across the world, corresponding via emails, scheduling phone calls and, even coordinating our engagement shoot in the States. Sidney never once let the distance get in the way. The photographs she captured of our engagement and wedding day were truly priceless. Sidney is extremely professional and genuinely loves capturing her couples love stories, her calming and warm presence has a way of making you feel so comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera on the most special day of your life. The final gallery will leave you swooning for years to come!

he was our hands-down favorite wedding vendor! After booking, every email, call, and touchpoint was handled with genuine care and attention. Our engagement session with her was easy (especially given that my now-husband and I are both super camera-shy!), and it set the tone for the wedding day, giving us an overall air of comfort and excitement! Sidney’s personal shooting style is the perfect balance of emotional and fun, capturing both personalities and vibes – then wrapping them in light and airy editing that brought our day to life in photos. Sidney is so talented and sweet, and while I know she has to be crazy busy with other galleries (I swear, when does she sleep?!) – she had an amazing way of making us feel like the only couple on her schedule! She brought a warm, comforting energy to our big day, and helped us slow down and enjoy the small moments. Also, I want to be her best friend! Sidney, we love you so much, we are grateful and blessed to have had you in our corner through the planning process, and we really hope to work with you again in the future!! P.S. She posted these beautiful sneak peek collages only a few days after our wedding, which was SO fun to have!!!

onths in advance to take engagement photos for us and to get to know us better. During the engagement shoot, she was very encouraging and made us feel confident in how we looked and it really showed through the pictures. The turn around time for the engagement photos was fairly quick! On our wedding day, Sidney had an additional photographer there who was just as positive and who helped make everyone feel more relaxed with her comedic personality. It was great working with the two of them! Sidney made sure to check in on us every so often and she found many wonderful locations to take pictures. We received our photos within 2 months of our wedding and they are all stunning! She really did her best work with our wedding and we recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! - Michael & Lauren

meone you want to be around on your wedding day and even well after. She is responsive, captures your vision perfectly, bubbly, cordial, and overall just a genuine person. I looked at so many vendors during the chaos of wedding planning and I can truly say Sidney was one of the BEST decisions I made. Thank you Sidney for capturing our wedding in the most beautiful way. We are forever thankful for you and the incredible work you did.

I needed to have her for our wedding. We first got to know Sidney during our engagement shoot and we knew we made the right choice. She, was so welcoming, thoughtful, approachable and did an awesome job guiding us through different poses and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Fast forward to our wedding day. It was so exciting to see her familiar face and she jumped right into capturing our big day. She truly gave it her all. We just got our photos back and they are absolutely stunning, we can't stop looking at them. They capture every special moment, emotion and detail and we will cherish these photos for a lifetime.

lanning process to understand the vision for the wedding day. She knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera right off the bat, and captures the most candid shots (that have instantly become my husband and my favorites!). We cannot sing her praises enough; Sidney is absolutely wonderful all-around and will do anything and everything to help make the wedding day a day to remember!

tos themselves. On what can be an extremely stressful day, she and her crew were calm and collected in every moment, capturing the essence of the day beautifully. If we learned one thing during our wedding experience, it was that working with vendors that truly care makes a huge difference. No vendor we worked with was as caring, patient, personable, and professional as Sidney -- the end result was beautiful photographs that we will cherish forever. We have Sidney and her crew to thank for that!

e was genuine, warm, and someone who we’d enjoy spending time with! At our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Even though it was drizzling that day, she didn’t rush us and brought so much positive energy. My husband left that session saying that he had “fun” - not what I was expecting from him! I loved how Sidney’s package was inclusive of the engagement session because it gave us a chance to get to know Sidney and know what to expect on the day of the wedding. Between the engagement session and the wedding, Sidney checked in a few times and provided us with some resources to make sure we were prepared for the day-of. On the day of the wedding, she was prompt and ready with a smile. She, again, made us feel comfortable and made the photo taking process effortless. Her second shooter, Sarandon, was also great! When we learned that there would be fireworks visible at the end of the night, she stayed beyond her original end time to capture the photos for us. She certainly went above and beyond to deliver for us! And I haven’t even gotten to her end-product yet! The engagement and wedding photos she delivered to us are stunning - she captured so many different elements and edited them beautifully. Sidney is a consummate professional - a clear communicator, gracious, warm, positive, and a talented photographer! She is someone you want by your side during this process and someone who will deliver beautiful results you’ll cherish for a lifetime!

nd pure moments so perfectly during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Sidney cared so much about our vision going in and captured all the important moments and small details so beautifully – her photography and editing skills are truly a work of art. Sidney is also extremely friendly and professional and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! During the weeks leading up to our wedding, she was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had surrounding our day-of timeline. Having an experienced photographer who is not only talented and organized, but also kind and genuine was so important to us and we are so grateful for her!! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and are so happy with how everything turned out!

oy to work with.

ime of inquiry through receiving our wedding album. Sidney is extremely responsive and answered all of my questions/concerns very promptly. She even helped make recommendations on my outfit for our engagement shoot! We are not very comfortable in front of a camera, and Sidney knew how to pose us so we felt natural and still had beautiful wedding and engagement photos. Her calm demeanor on our wedding day allowed us to relax and enjoy the day! She was phenomenal with all of our guests and went above and beyond to capture our day naturally yet beautifully. She was wonderful during our family and bridal party portraits by giving clear instruction but not being bossy. She truly captured every moment and the photos are simply stunning. I still can't believe these are actual photos from our wedding day! Sidney made our wedding day 1000x more special than it already was and I am so thrilled she captured our day forever! The time and effort Sidney spent editing our photos is definitely seen after receiving our INCREDIBLE album! I cannot recommend her enough to future couples and would book her time and time again!

of photographer for that matter - just trust me and BOOK WITH SIDNEY!!! From the moment I reached out to Sidney back in 2020, I knew that I had to have her as a part of our 2022 rehearsal dinner and wedding day. It was important to my husband and I to book our photographer far in advance and let me tell you, we feel like we hit the lottery by finding Sidney. I originally reached out because I loved her stunning shooting style, but what I didn't know at the time was that Sidney is the SWEETEST, most genuine soul! She was patient with all of our questions, helped to create our wedding timeline, and truly took the time to make us feel important through the entire 2 year process. We met Sidney at our venue exactly one year before our wedding day to take our engagement photos which turned out more beautiful that I could have imagined. Sidney has a way of making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera - she will be your biggest hype girl! It was such a pleasure to share our wedding day with her as well. She has a calm and positive energy, even when it poured down rain and we had to change some things last minute. She also has the perfect balance of making sure she got all of the shots we wanted but was also very behind the scenes and made sure to not interfere with our day. We received our final gallery a few days ago and my husband and I spent hours looking over each image reliving the best day of our lives. I truly don't even have words for how thankful and appreciative I am for this incredible gift that Sidney has given us. Her talent is truly unmatched, and I cannot wait for another excuse to book a session with sweet Sidney. We can't wait to cherish these photos forever and share them with our kids one day.

ding pictures! We first met Sidney in 2019 during our engagement shoot and right away we knew she was a beautiful person inside and out. When you first meet Sidney it is as if you have known her your entire life! Sidney made us feel so calm and comfortable in front of the camera. She truly cares about her clients and will work closely with you on every aspect of your big day. Although our wedding day was almost 100 degrees, Sidney kept us calm the entire time. She made sure everyone was comfortable and hydrated during our photo sessions and even positioned us in shady areas to beat the heat. She is a true rockstar! We received a sneak peak of our gallery and we were blown away. Sidney truly captures every precious moment on your wedding day, big or small! Stop your photographer research and reach out to Sidney. I highly recommend investing in her beautiful work that will have you smiling years from now!

he was so amazing the entire time and having those taken with her made it more comfortable the day of our wedding. We had an idea of what to expect and Sidney and her assistant were on their A Game the entire day of the wedding. They know what they are doing that’s for sure. We just received our photos back and we are just blown away with how much she captured and are so in love with them all. Photos are so important to have to look back on and remind you of your special day and her and her team did so good at making sure we had the best ones. Makes me want to do it all over again just looking at them!

al days. Her work is breathtaking, and if you’re looking for a photographer that cares about the details as much as you, she’s the photographer for you! We are so lucky to have met Sidney and are so blessed to have her artwork part of our lives forever.

otographer. My husband and I did a lot of diligence on different photographers and Sidney immediately jumped out based on her previous work and amazing reviews. From the moment we spoke to Sidney she made us feel so special, not only expressing interest in getting to know us as individuals but also the backstory of our relationship. She didn't jump right into pricing or the packages she offers, but instead made us the focus. From that interaction, we knew she was the one. Full disclosure my husband does NOT like taking photos, but after finishing our engagement shoot we left with him saying "can we do this again..." given she made us feel so comfortable. From our perspective, this was imperative when choosing the right photographer for our big day. Leading up to the wedding day she was on top of everything! She made sure she knew what was most important to us to ensure all our special moments were captured. Not to mention she focuses on all the details, whether large or small. In the end, what is special is that we gained a friend in all of this. We can't thank Sidney enough for being such a great person to work with and capturing beautiful pictures that we will be looking at for the rest of our lives to remind us of the most perfect day.

yed getting to know over this past year!

e spring outdoor wedding where we had to end up embracing the rain, she made everything easy, positive, and fun! And not to mention, the photos are INCREDIBLE. I wish that we could have another wedding just so we could get to work with her again! We cannot recommend Sidney enough to future couples. Thank you Sidney for capturing my the engagement and wedding photos I had hoped for my entire life!

ays to prepare for upcoming photo shoots. My fiance and I were nervous because we had never been professionally photographed together - but all of those nerves melted away when we met Sidney. Before properly meeting Sidney, she was outside studying the lighting of every area of the venue we had our engagement pictures so we could have the perfect light in our pictures. Once we were properly introduced she made us feel so at ease - and because of that our engagement picture sessions look absolutely great! We look relaxed and the lighting she captured was exceptional. Since our wedding was a 'pandemic' wedding, Sidney proactively reached out to us to let us know the precautions her and her assistant would be taking - which just took the stress off of us. Leading up to the wedding she was very responsive and collaborated so well with our planner to get a timeline down to make sure we were able to capture important moments - but also, to capture the candid ones as well. The day of the wedding Sidney and her assistant were such a calming force, which was great because I was a nervous wreck! She directed everyone precisely and effectively, which is tough with a gang of groomsmen & bridesmaids. But the best part about Sidney's method was that it was as if she wasn't there. Not once did I feel like I was being photographed - I was present in the moment of my wedding. Now the absolutely amazing part about working with Sidney is getting the pictures back. Like I said previously, with her method it's like she wasn't there - so to see all the moments she captured, candid and not, they were breathtaking. After posting a wedding album I've had friends and family repeatedly tell me how stunning our wedding pictures are - and thanks to Sidney we have a lifetime to enjoy them! If you're looking for an amazing wedding photographer that wants to get the perfect shot for you and is just an all around great person - go with Sidney!

most genuine person but she is an AMAZING photographer and we are absolutely blown away by our wedding gallery. Invest in Sidney for your wedding day for the most beautiful photos and memories to last a life time! You won’t regret it!!!!!!

present is incredible. Her photos are more in white and green colors. It perfectly matches our style for the wedding in venues. We recommend her and thank you for all of her efforts.

photographer who gave such great direction and positive energy. I knew when it was my turn to get married Sidney was a must have for my big day. Fast forward to this year and I can’t speak highly enough about Sidney. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was beyond stressful at times; with the ever changing restrictions and unknowns. Sidney continually was putting me at ease, checking in with me and asking if I needed anything. She helped me navigate through the multiple different wedding scenarios that we had planned out just in case and was super supportive when my husband and I had to make changes. When the big day finally came on September 12, Sidney was early with positive energy and a perfectly planned out timeline. She coached myself and my bridesmaids all along the way and truly made us look like models. As a bride, we want to look our best on our wedding day and not have pictures from unflattering angles. Sidney was great with directing myself and our wedding party on proper placement and the pictures of course came out beautifully. Lindsey, her second shooter, was amazing with our groomsmen and you can tell how well they work together and love what they do. Sidney caught so many candid moments and we can NOT stop looking at the pictures. I can’t recommend her enough and I am sad that my wedding is over because she really became a friend through all this. My family adores her and if there’s a way we can ever work with her again in the future we most certainly will!

way with her ability to capture literally every moment and how remarkably easy she is to work with. We thought she did an exceptional job on our wedding day, but once we got our gallery, that is when it became crystal clear that Sidney is a true artist. Two words after working with Sidney- hire her! She will step into your wedding as your photographer and leave as your friend!

ig day and I am over the moon. I wish I could relive this day over and over again and because of Sidney and our videographer I can. Sidney is so kind and caring and truly makes you feel your best in front of the camera. I am not a confident person and self love is so hard for me but with Sidney constantly commenting about how beautiful I looked and how my finance (husband now) looked it makes you truly forget about it. I was not nervous. I just love Sidney and she is not just a wedding vendor she is a true friend and such a talent. Schyler and I are so thankful for all the time she put into our day capturing each and every special moment.

hem. She made us feel so comfortable and really captured "us". Our wedding has been postponed because of the cornoavirus outbreak but Sidney has literally bent over backwards to make sure our backup date runs as smoothly as possible and has continued to be gracious, helpful and encouraging. Do not look any further and book Sidney. You will not regret it.

oments on your big day!

s feel so comfortable and at ease. I look at our pictures daily and am in awe of her talent. She went above and beyond to ensure she captured everything we wanted and we feel so blessed to have found such a talented photographer.

nd I can not recommend Sidney enough. She was so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process as well, assisting whenever we had questions, offering great suggestions and having awesome ideas about shooting at our venue. Working with Sidney was as easy as we could have imagined and her genuine affection for her clients is palpable. We laughed constantly through all our portraits and group shots, as she helped make the 95-degree heat and the bugs disappear from our minds completely. This is all not even mentioning the UNBELIEVABLE quality of Sidney's work, which is drop-dead gorgeous. Her dedication and passion for what she does even in the post-production process are completely evident in the final product. Our entire album gallery looked truly more beautiful than we had any idea it would. Her style is light, airy, crisp and romantic, which all resulted in absolutely stunning photographs. From our group shots, candids and portraits, she executed each and every one beautifully with such a keen eye and intuition for capturing every moment, to the point we have too many favorite photos to fit in one album. Sidney's work was a perfect representation of our wedding day... and we will truly cherish those memories and getting to work with her forever.

She was very familiar with the venue where we got out photos taken. My fiance and I are not "pros" with taking photos together but Sidney made us feel SO comfortable and we had such a great time. The photos turned out impeccable... I still receive compliments and our shoot was in August! Sidney was so great that I offered to fly her up to MA for our wedding shoot, but she's booked! I would HIGHLY recommend her for photos!!!

te about what she does. My husband and I weren't comfortable in front of the camera at first, but she gave excellent direction. By the end of the engagement session, we felt like supermodels (thanks to her constant positivity and compliments). We received our engagement photos in just 3 days time. It was an insanely short turnaround, which just shows her passion for her work! At the wedding, she got all of our requested photos taken (even with our delayed start time of 1 hour due to hair and makeup taking longer than expected). In the end, in addition to receiving beautiful photos, we made a beautiful friend! We were so happy with our experience, and highly recommend Sidney!

beyond to make us feel comfortable. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone!

ust look at them. She's just an incredible person and even helped me so much with planning. She made sure my timeline and photo list were good to go and kept us on schedule on the wedding day. You can see and feel the joy that Sidney feels when she's taking photos, and you know that she is genuine with all of her swooning and compliments. I absolutely loved working with Sidney. There's no one else like her!

he shots that I wanted. If I had any questions or concerns, she was always prompt and thorough in her communication. Not only were her services a blessing before and during the wedding, her photographs that we received afterwards are absolutely amazing and impress everyone who sees them. I'm a tough critic with an eye for detail (especially when it came to my wedding) and Sidney met and surpassed all of my expectations. Years down the road, the photographs are all that will be left and choosing a quality photographer is important. I would 1000 times over recommend Sidney to any bride-to-be and am extremely grateful with my decision to hire her for ours!

ely talented, SO sweet, and really captured our perfect day better than I could have imagined. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and made us look AMAZING. One thing I especially loved was that a) she comes to your wedding with a second photographer, and b) she doesn't restrict you to a certain amount of time, but she stays for your entire wedding day. Worth every penny and more!

even begin to describe what she does. She helped with our timeline and made sure that they day went smoothly and everything was on track and it was our day was flawless. She not only made us feel comfortable in front of the camera but she made us all feel like MODELS. There are so many good photos we can't pick our favorites, they are all just so amazing, its like we are reliving the day when I look at them. Our families and guest cannot stop talking about how amazing she was, thank you, thank you thank you!!

re so gorgeous and dreamy, we love every single photo she took! On top of being an amazing photographer she is so sweet and calming and made our day so special! We loved having her with us on our special day, she’s the best!

gives great direction so that you won't feel awkward while taking the photos (2) she knows how to capture the light and the right moments (3) she listens to her clients and figures out what they ultimately want from their photos and (4) she efficiently communicates with and helps guide the people around us, like the bridal party, families, and the videographers, so that everyone's on the same page and we can actually enjoy the moment. Sidney is a great photographer, but she also became a great friend and reliable source of support. She kept us updated throughout the year and came to our wedding with such great, positive energy. We could tell that she genuinely cared about her clients. I can confidently say that you'll have no regrets having Sidney capture your special day!

ade us even forget that there was a photographer there. When we got our pictures back (in a reasonable time.. and Sidney made sure to communicate with us while we waited) we were STUNNED. She is so talented. I had several friends tell me that they are going to book her for their future weddings! You could never regret booking her as your photographer!!

ng it. Sidney brought excitement, joy, and a sense of calm to every interaction we had. She was always flexible with our schedules and willing to adjust plans as needed. She truly worked magic in our photos. It poured down raining during our ceremony and you can’t see a drop of rain anywhere!! We love the pictures that Sidney took and will always treasure them. We would recommend Sidney to anyone we meet!! Do yourself a favor and hire her for your big day!

rleston to take our Engagement pictures and then traveled 5+ hours to the Outer Banks and did our wedding. She is amazing and her photos are out of this world!! No one better!

sweetest and most genuine individual and definitely made me feel beautiful on the biggest day of my life. She captured our day beyond perfectly and I look at our photos every day! The photos let me relive those special and sweet moments between my husband and I; something I will cherish forever. Thank you, Sidney!

e vendor he raved about the whole wedding day was Sidney. She was extremely positive (she made us both feel like models), but also very professional and knew how to deal with large groups of families and rowdy groomsmen. She was also amazing during the entire wedding planning process, responding to e-mails almost instantly. She went over the top in so many different areas (pointing me in the right direction for wedding decor, loaning me a few items, etc.) I instantly loved her personality, and she truly creates beautiful photography. There is no going wrong if you work with Sidney!!

menting your wedding as easy and effortless as possible. She's incredibly kind and generous, extremely responsive to any questions and inquiries, and very straightforward - she'll work with you because she wants to and because she's excited for you, and her excitement will show in how she documents all the special moments of your day! I'm so, so in love with my wedding photos - investing in Sid's photography was one of the best decisions I made while wedding planning.
