About Leslie Joy Photography
Leslie Joy Photography
With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a collection of moments — it should feel like a rich story, with visceral emotions coursing through each scene. As a former wedding planner turned photographer, I document each chapter with an editorial eye and a genuine heart. My approach is guided by light and emotion, both intentional and effortless. Every image is composed with purpose, full of honesty and elegance, and alive with feeling. Your story is already extraordinary. My work ensures it’s remembered that way — beautifully, and forever.
My work is a blend of both traditional portraiture and candid imagery. I focus on the big moments and the small details to provide a full picture of what the day looked and felt like, with a signature edit that will allow your memories to endure for decades to come. Most importantly, I want to create space for you to fully be present in the moment, with peace of mind knowing you'll be able to revisit these unforgettable memories again and again.

You found your wedding photographer!
Leslie is a pleasure to work with! She is organized, professional and knows what she is doing! From the first appointment to the wedding day she guided us through the whole process and has a very structured plan to make sure you get every photo you would want or sometimes some you didn’t even think of! The portal to view all the photos is awesome and very easy to navigate. Her compositions are gorgeous and we were so happy to have chosen her to document our wedding day and be a part of the celebration! She makes even those shy behind the camera feel comfortable! I would highly recommend her to any friends or family.

A true artist with an amazing vision
We absolutely loved working with Leslie and her team. She was our frontrunner during the initial photography process because her portfolio was just what we were looking for in terms of style. We sealed the deal after meeting her over Zoom and sensing her warm yet grounded energy and how immaculately organized she is. Our wedding was in great hands and she was so communicative leading up to our day. She captured every moment we wanted, plus some more we hadn’t even envisioned on our own. And we loved how she captured candids of our family and guests too. She kept things calm and flexible while our day inevitably ran a little behind schedule. The final product is a visually gorgeous wedding album that feels so innately “us.”

The best of the best!
From our first conversation with Leslie Joy Photography, we knew we had found the right fit. Her communication was clear, professional, and organized, which kept us feeling calm throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Leslie captured every moment of our special day with an incredible eye, and the photos are absolutely stunning – these are pictures we will cherish forever! Beyond her camera skills, she kept our timeline running smoothly and helped everyone stay relaxed, even during the hectic parts of the day. Having been in several weddings before, we can honestly say Leslie is the best photographer we've worked with, and we would recommend her to anyone. We loved everything about our experience with her!

The best!
Leslie made our wedding day easy breazy for us (we know it wasn’t for her). She took the perfect combo of portrait photos and in the moment pics. She was easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process. And we received our pictures in a very timely manner (which all brides love) All of our pics turned out great! Leslie and her team were a great addition to the team of amazing people who made our wedding day perfect.

Wish I could give 10 stars!
Leslie captured our engagement shoot in October 2024 and wedding in November 2025 and words can’t describe how perfect it was to work with her! From day 1, she was professional, personable, and took time to get to know us as a couple to understand our dynamic. Her professionalism truly is unmatched. On wedding day, she and her team were on time, prepared, and made the intimate moments comfortable. It happened to rain on our wedding day, which moved our ceremony indoors, and our photos came out better than I ever imagined. We will cherish the beautiful photos she took of us and our families forever.
