What your day
means to me
CELEBRATING YOUR LOVE STory
Your wedding day may be one of the few times in your life when your dearest loved ones are gathered together in one place to feast, dance, and celebrate you and your honey’s love. This fabulous day is just as important to me as it is to you. After months (sometimes years!) of planning, you deserve a photographer that cares about you, your guests, and all the little details that make your day what it is: a celebration. I want you to passionately enjoy all the special moments of your wedding day without thinking twice about your photos. This is what you have been waiting for, this is your day to enjoy it ALL!
Let’s talk about money,
honey!

Is there anything more spontaneous than a disposable camera? I bring three disposable cameras to your reception, allowing your guests to take those candid late night photos on the dance floor or hanging together at their table. I’ll collect the cameras before I leave and get those fun pics developed for you. No stress on your part!
+ $150 for 75-80 developed photos
Disposable bundle
If you feel like you want additional time added to ANY Packages , it would be a fee of +$450 per hour after the package of your selection. Any locations that exceed 45 minutes from Lemont, Il require a travel fee. More information on ‘Travel Fees’ explained in the FAQ section below.
all packages are customizable! What I have on my website are the most common variations I've noticed among my couples - so they can be a great starting point or "the perfect fit"! Let's talk more about it over a consultation call. Just submit an inquiry through my contact form.
The Storyteller Package offers the flexibility of choosing between two locations and two unique looks. Upgrading to this engagement package provides the luxury of a deeper collaboration, allowing us to dedicate time to plan outfits, conceptualize room aesthetics, and create a storyboard during our discovery call.
Additionally, the storyteller package includes a $50 prop allowance. This allows me to purchase items such as flowers, painting supplies, retro stools, pancake mix, and other elements that enhance the narrative, providing a richer portrayal of your current life story if we felt it needed it!
It truly is different for everyone which is why we schedule a time to meet about 2 months before the wedding to talk about all the details of the day. Some couples want me to be there late in the night, while others want more photos of them getting ready with their girlfriends at 10am. We work it out to fit your specific needs and schedule best, but generally 12pm-8pm is a good range for The Gather Package and 10am-8pm is a good range for The Complete Package.
Hey, I don’t mind flying! Let’s do it! In that case, you would be responsible for covering the cost of flights there and back, hotel for 2 nights, and rental car. You would be responsible for all travel that exceeds 45 minutes from my current location of Lockport, IL. A $20 travel fee is required for any locations 45-60 minutes away and anything that exceeds 1 hour will be an additional $15 per hour. Example: 1.5 hours away will be +$35 in addition to your package. Anything that exceeds 3 hours will require lodging at a hotel within 30 minutes of venue. Chicago is about a 45-60 minute drive from my house and would be $20 + any parking expenses.
Honey, you can do whatever you want as long as I know about it before the day. First looks are great if the ceremony and reception at the same location so you can take photos with your wedding party before the ceremony begins and have a seamless transition to the reception that follows. We will set up a meeting 60-30 days prior to the day of the event to go over all the details and your list of “need to have photos”.
" I highly recommend Leah for any photos you need done "
"Leah did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we absolutely love how they turned out! She was so sweet and we had so much fun with her! We are so pleased with our photos. I highly recommend Leah for any photos you need done. Can’t wait to use her in the future for other photos!!"

“ She made us feel so comfortable "
"Leah is DREAM to work with!! Not only did she take the most insane engagement photos, she made my fiancé and I both so comfortable the entire time. We both are a little awkward and shy in front of a camera, but Leah made us feel so comfortable and lead us (& hyped us up) the entire time. Her communication was amazing and she asked great questions to help us decide the vibe we wanted to go for. I seriously was blown away by the final images! They were better than anything I could have imagined."

Are we a good fit?
If you like adventure, trying new things and can roll with last minute changes due to weather (sometimes those days create the BEST photos!) then shake what your momma gave ya because we’ll be a great fit! I’m ready to take you on an experience that you will hold close to your heart. The laughs, the romance,, the joy, the memories — everything.
