Leigh Hayward Photography

Leigh did an AMAZING job capturing such a special moment. She turned out the photos super quickly (48 hours) and they came out perfect, she was so helpful. My fiancée had some special requests and she made it all happen! We can’t recommend her enough, some of the best photos I’ve ever had! If you’re in the Charleston area, Leigh is the best. Thank you Leigh!

We absolutely loved working with Leigh as our wedding photographer! Her amazing personality also brought us so much joy on our wedding day. She truly was with us during all our big moments from her shooting the proposal to the wedding day! I cant thank her enough and love her eye for things and i couldn't thank her enough!! she's the best!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Leigh! From the moment we met, she was so incredibly sweet, warm, caring, and easy to be around. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and somehow made the entire experience feel so natural and effortless. But what makes this experience even more special is that my engagement was a complete surprise, and Leigh played her part so perfectly! She was not only an amazing photographer, but she helped make sure the entire surprise went exactly as planned. She was so professional, discreet, and genuinely invested in making the moment perfect. I honestly could not have asked for someone better to be there to capture such an important moment in our lives. I am literally over the moon with how everything turned out. These photos mean so much to me because they captured one of the happiest and most emotional moments of my life, and I know I’ll treasure them forever. Looking through them feels like getting to relive that day all over again. Leigh has such an incredible eye, but what really stood out to me was how much care and heart she put into everything. You can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and truly cares about the people she photographs. If you are looking for a photographer, book her. Seriously. Not only will you get beautiful photos, but you’ll have someone kind, thoughtful, professional, and completely invested in making your memories special. Thank you so much, Leigh, for helping make one of the most important days of my life even more magical. I’m so grateful you were there to capture it, and I cannot wait till we meet again! 🤍🥂

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our engagement photos! Leigh did an amazing job making us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Highly recommend her for anyone in the Charleston area!

Leigh stuns me every time she sends out a gallery! Her photos are always gorgeous, whether it's a wedding, social gathering, or event. She captures the feeling of the attendees, the couple so well that you can feel the emotion when you look through the photo gallery. But what stands out to me about Leigh is first, her demeanor when she is shooting, she takes special care to make sure everyone feels comfortable and excited to be in front of the camera. She puts people at ease and delivers the most beautiful photos on the other end! Leigh can deliver the beauty ANYWHERE. The rooftop of a historic Charleston building for an intimate elopement in the rain, yes. A nonprofit gala in a downtown venue full of lights, color and fun, yes! An intimate gathering and styled shoot in a less than perfect Charleston historical venue, absolutely! Leigh is on my short list to recommend for couples planning a large wedding, microwedding or intimate elopement. For locals, businesses, etc. that are looking for someone to capture their social event, nonprofit, gala, gathering, etc., she's your gal! Leigh ALWAYS has a smile on her face, in the rain, heat, or occasional Charleston chill... through long wedding days, long wedding seasons, or whatever the day throws at her, she is constantly upbeat and an absolute favorite in town. Book Leigh, you want her to capture your special moment!
