Words cannot describe how amazing our Wedding photographs are, they perfectly captured us and our beautiful day. Leah - you are an outstanding photographer and the montage which you created touched so many of our friends and family - thank you so much xx

Where do we even start? Myself and James got married on Friday and it was absolutely amazing! Leah you are an incredible lady and very talented. We cannot thank you enough for being apart of our wedding and capturing all of our special moments. The work you put in is incredible and we will always be thankful to you. We hope you enjoyed our special day as much as us and we hope to book more photo shoots with you in the future to help us capture family moments. Lots of Love James and Michaela Dawson ️xxx

Where can I start?! What a lovely lady and also a superb photographer, your photos are in a different league I've just finished going through them. Thank you again for making our little boys 1st birthday such a memorable one

We heard about Leah's Christmas offer and decided to use the opportunity to get some photos of our boys and also the 4 of us for the Grandparents. We are absolutely over the moon with the finished photos, and I have already booked Leah again for next year for a family shoot in the Forest. Leah is such a warm, friendly person that she put us all at ease, and she's got a great eye for what makes a picture. I just wish I'd known you when we got married!! Thank you so much from all of us.

We had a newborn shoot done for our son and couldn't be happier with the photos. Leah was great to work with and had never ending patience as our son fought sleep for the duration of the shoot! We fell in love with all the pictures, which were absolutely stunning and captured such lovely moments. We'll definitely be back for another shoot as our son grows up - thank you so much Leah.

We are so glad that we had Leah as our photographer for our big day! She captured all of our important moments and used this to tell our story. Her creativity is truly reflected in her passion for photography and as a result we have amazing pictures that will last a lifetime. She was professional, assertive, and patient throughout the whole event. We feel like we've found a photographer we would use for every milestone in our new life as husband and wife. Thank you Leah you are amazing!

Today we made some beautiful memories with our family and newborn photo shoot. Leah was amazing with our 3 girls, can't wait to see the finished photos. Would highly recommended Leah and her photography skills.

Thanks wonderful Leah and Asif for an amazing video film experience this afternoon. You have an incredible skill of putting people at ease in preparation for the camera! � Professional, focused, on point. Really impressive! Filming Paula today for my client testimonial was an absolute pleasure! Looking forward to seeing the finished product ���

My review is slightly different in that my wedding day didn’t start as normal! We had the worst snow storm in this country we had seen for a decade. The first 6 hours of my wedding day was spent crying and stressing about the messages coming through saying people were not going to get there! Leah was calm and messaged me continuously telling me she’d be there soon � she eventually arrived and when she walked in she burst into tears, then I knew I had the best photographer ever!! She was clearly so emotional and determined to be at our wedding and do her thing, that when she eventually arrived she was so relieved! She told me after she had already arranged back up in case the worse happened and she didn’t make it (which did happen to 13 of our guests coming from

loughton!). When she had gathered herself (quickly and professionally) she began her stuff.. and wow! She was amazing! She captured a shot of us in the snow that has now gone viral and probably the only thing that stops me from crying about the stress that was the morning of my wedding! Both my husband and I said, she’s got a lot to live up to after that sneak peak (the snow pic) and we got our pics back this week and we are totally amazed! 700 incredible pictures. Artistic, thoughtful, meaningful, amazing ! I really could not recommend Leah enough. I have spend the last two months after my wedding questioning all the details as it went by in a flash! And when I looked at all the pics this week I cried and felt proud of the amazing day we put on for our family and friends. She truly captured every emotion there was that day (which was a lot given it took everyone 4 hours minimum to get there because of the snow). I can’t every have enough thank yous for you Leah x you’re wonderfully gifted and an incredible photographer x

Leah recently photographed my little girl and I couldn’t be happier. The session was relaxed and fun. Leah had so much patience when my little one was teething/hungry/unsettled and her energy and enthusiasm meant that it wasn’t long before my 10 month old was giggling and smiling. The photographs are beautiful and really capture all of my little girl’s expressions. Thank you Leah and we will be back again with the 4 & 3 year old big brothers in tow!

Leah managed to get some fantastic shots of my children, something which was impossible for me to do. I am now spoilt for choice on which ones to display at home!

Leah is the most genuine, kind hearted person I have ever met. After being let down by another photographer just 2 weeks before our wedding Leah came to our rescue. They say everything happens for a reason and my god I'm glad it did. On the day Leah knew exactly what to do and say and is amazing at her job. The sneak peak pics I saw the day after the wedding are out of this world, and I'm excited to see rest. I can't thank Leah enough, she completely saved our wedding memories and for that I'm forever grateful.

Leah is ever the professional, she was simply amazing and so effortless in making even a cheeky 4 year old do what she wanted! Brilliant. I would recommend her to anyone.... x

Leah is absolutely amazing at what she does. Almost a bit magical I think � Photography with young children is almost impossible sometimes yet she captures the most incredible images it just blows me away. Leah has done family shoots for us and took photos at my daughter's Christening and I've cried every time we've had the images back. They are memories I get to treasure forever.

Just one of the best. She knows how to get the best out of you and your surroundings.

I'm just so happy we had Leah to photograph our wedding, she was fantastic on the day, putting everyone at ease, very friendly and lovely and the photos she took were amazing, we are thrilled! I would recommend her any day. Thank you Leah!

Highly recommend Leah, she's a lovely lady and very talented. I am so in love with my wedding pictures and was pleasantly surprised to see there were some I didn't even know were being taken. She used every bit of the venue and made otherwise ugly, urban places look truly beautiful. I'm so thankful to leah for giving us such unique and beautiful photographs to remember our day, we are the most awkward couple infront of the camera but she made us feel so at ease and we had a good laugh. Thank you so much Leah! X

Had a fabulous session with Leah today! Loved her props and setup! Can't wait to see the pictures and delighted she is on our doorstep in Woodford.

From the moment we made contact with Leah she was fantastic and extremely professional. Throughout our wedding day she made us feel very relaxed and has taken some wonderful shots of our special day. We highly recommend Leah and would definitely use her again for any future occasions. Thanks again Leah x
