Photos are transcendent artifacts that aid us in thoughtfully reflecting on our lives, fostering presence, celebrating our journeys, fueling hope, and realigning us to what matters most

— this is why I document.

"Leilani is awesome! She was so fun and sweet to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding! She was beyond understanding and flexible with us financially and time wise, something that we really really appreciated. Her professionalism and direction along with her friendliness and just who she is created such a comfortable space for us that allowed her to capture our love that translates through photo. Her work is timeless and genuine. Our experience was so memorable and we would love to book with her again in the future."

"I don't know where to start with Leilani! I first met her when she took mine and my husband's engagement photos, and even though that was the first time we had met, she made everything feel so comfortable and easy. It was as if I was talking to someone that I had already met before. My husband and I aren't the most photogenic people but MAN she made it look like we were! Then came our wedding day and she was the most attentive and helpful person to have around. AND she was so, so, SO patient when it came to taking all the family and group photos (which we all know can be one of the more stressful parts of the day). She knew how to make us feel comfortable with different poses and shots and she is the easiest person to work with and will capture every moment you ask her to and more. Even when it comes to capturing the details of the dress, rings, shoes, etc. she captures these details with such care. There's truly nothing more to say about Leilani other than that she will get the job done and her caring and passionate nature is shown through her work. She makes the mundane parts of the day feel and look beautiful and will make the most alluring moments of the event shine even more. There is no other easier, caring, and kind-hearted person to work with and I'm more than happy to have gone through my wedding with Lei."

"Leilani is a PHENOMENAL photographer. She is kind, creative, laid back but driven, a visionary, and incredible at what she does. Her outgoing yet collected personality is sure to help ease the nerves of being in front of the camera. She's great with directing and positioning in a way that feels organic. She's also very intentional and will do what it takes to connect with you to co-create and execute the vision. Every single one of my shoots has left me more inspired and wanting to work with her again."

"Working with Leilani is truly magical—I am so grateful to have found her! From our first photoshoot to my wedding, she has delivered everything I have envisioned and more, each time. Leilani possesses an innate ability to capture life in a beautiful, truthful way. Her work brings forth the beauty of those she captures. She has a gift and she knows how to use it. After working with her, it is evident how much love and care is put behind each photo she takes. The kind, safe environment she fosters during each photoshoot is incredible and eases any nerves one may have. I’m so incredibly happy to have chosen her to document such important moments in my life. I cannot recommend Leilani enough!"

Brianna + Andrew
“Leilani is incredibly talented, has such an eye for documenting your day beautifully, from all the laughter, the intimate moments and all the small details. Leilani made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and her warmth and care made our wedding day even more joyful. We cherish our wedding photos and we feel so fortunate to have found Leilani! She also knows how to bring your vision to life, she asked all the right questions and made sure we felt 100% confident and amazing on our wedding day.”

Liset + Josh
"Our experience with Leilani was wonderful. We had a lot of ideas in mind for our wedding and was nervous of how things would turn out, but Leilani helped us organize how our pictures would be for the day and worked closely with my coordinator. She made us feel comfortable during shoots and really made sure we got the best pictures. She scoped out our venue beforehand to find the best places to take pictures and that was very helpful. She made us look and feel so special on our wedding day!"
