These two! Michelline and Daniel are two of the nicest, most easy-going people I have ever met! We had a blast during their Ventura County photography session. They are so warm-hearted and their kind attitudes made for the best day. Even though our first-choice location wasn’t available day-of, and rainclouds kept looming ominously overhead, these two wouldn’t let anything dampen their smiles!

I had the honor of capturing couples’ portraits for them just a few weeks before they made a big move out-of-state. It’s not just weddings and engagements that deserve photos, but really every big life event!

We started our session at Surfer’s Knoll Beach, then made our way to Serra Cross Park. The different spots gave us all the best that California has to offer– the perfect send-off before their big move! It’s always fun picking two different types of locations for your session so that you have a variety of backdrops in your photos. I love to recommend this if we have a two-hour session, so we can capture lots of great images at both locations!

Gallery delivery days are always so exciting for me! After sending off her gallery, I got the sweetest email from Michelline:

Leslie!!!! These photos are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you again for picking us and for taking the time & effort to capture our essence! We are so grateful! And in love with the fruits of your hard work!

Reactions like ^^that are why I love what I do. It’s an honor to be able to capture these special moments in life for joyful couples with such big hearts.

BEHIND THE LENS

Passionate about turning your most heartfelt moments into your legacy of love

When I was first getting to know my husband, Michael's, family, I loved hearing the stories of their marriages— the good times and bad, better and worse, joy as well as sorrow, and always love. But the very first time I saw his grandmother’s collection of family wedding photos perched atop her mantel I had to stop and take in what over 200 years of marriage looked like on display. As I looked on at the images framed on the mantel, immediately all of the stories shared by Michael’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins came rushing through my head, and it was so easy to trace them all back to the days they said “I do.” In my role as a wedding photographer, I capture all of the raw emotions of your big day, so when you look back at those images you are reminded of the fullness in your heart and you can see how that first day of marriage created a legacy of love.
