The Ranch Laguna Beach

Hey there, I'm Leslie,

Let's live in the moment.

For over 25 years I've had the joy of photographing weddings — capturing the quiet moments, the bursts of laughter, the glances that say everything — and all the beautifully unscripted moments in between.

​

To me, photography isn’t just about images. It’s about connection, trust, and telling your story with honesty and heart. I bring a gentle, grounding presence to every wedding, helping you feel comfortable, seen, and free to be yourselves. I know when to step in, and when to let the moment unfold — always with care, always with intention. Whether it's a quiet glance or wild dance-floor joy, I'm drawn to the real, honest emotions and fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable.

​

Clients often tell me I felt more like a friend than a photographer — someone who intuitively understood the rhythm of the day, brought a sense of calm to it all, making it smoother, easier, and a whole lot more fun.

​

With a trained eye and an open heart, I create photographs that feel real, timeless, and truly you. If that speaks to you, I’d be honored to help tell your story.

Heather + Matt at The Ritz-Carlton

Heather and Matt love black & white photography, which makes me really happy, because I do too! It seems to me that the simplicity of B&W can often result in images that convey more emotion.

Christina + Jonathan at Occasions Laguna Beach

These two! It was a picture-perfect day by the ocean ... just like they ordered. Christina's simple, vintage-style gown was stunning.

Sharmeen + Ankur at Mission San Juan Capistrano

What a feast for the eyes! The colors... the jewelry... everything! The Mission is an absolutely incredible backdrop for photos, and I'm excited any time I have a chance to shoot there.

Leeanne + Michael at The Center Club

This property has so many amazing photographic spots just steps from the front door. Have to take advantage of them all!

Engagement Sessions

 

A great first step is scheduling an engagement session. I'll come to the Orange County location of your choice, or I can suggest many different options.

The Experience

It's all about unforgettable experiences, catching hold of moments that only pass by once and preserving them forever. I genuinely love what I do, and helping you make memories is my greatest joy.
