I’ll be honest… I don’t know how photographers regularly shoot weddings or even multiple weddings every weekend. It’s a lot of work physically and mentally. But when I do have the pleasure and honor of documenting a couple’s most special day, I absolutely love it. I’m choosy about the couples who I say yes to, because I want to put forward my best work and I can’t take on dozens of weddings.
I feel like the couples that find me, are meant to be my clients/couples. I gain a near immediate affinity towards them and by the time I deliver their images, I am fully invested in them.
That is definitely true with this beautiful couple. They are warm and fun and easy to be around. I’ve also seen that they are devoted to each other and hard workers. I am convinced they will have a wonderful and successful life together.
There is so much that goes into photographing a wedding. First of all, two photographers is pretty much a must. So you have to find someone you like and who is good at what they do and who can capture your style. And it’s rare for a day of photographing a wedding to last less than eight hours and they can go upwards to twelve hours!
In that time, you photograph everything from getting ready, details, couple portraits, family portraits, the actual ceremony, the reception, sometimes there is a first look, and so much more. It takes a lot of planning and attention to detail because a wedding day only happens once and you can not risk missing something for the couple.
I’ve included a little bit of everything in the photos below. Enjoy the peek into Deanna and Anthony’s very special day. Congratulations, you two.
Little moments, all wrapped in love.
The closeness, the chaos, the cuddles, the small things that feel simple now but hold a magical chapter in them. The ones you don't want to forget.
That's why little moments matter. Capture them. Keep them. They're the ones that make all the difference. 🤍
As a mom myself, I want to take time to celebrate all the moms that I’ve been so damn lucky to have met and spend time with over the years.
.
Moms are who have made my business successful and have allowed me to continue doing something I love for my job.
.
I could not have done it without all of you.
.
And it’s no coincidence that photos of Moms with their children are my absolute favorite.
.
We moms give so much of ourselves without thinking twice. And when we get those special moments of pure heart-to-heart connection with our kids, it’s the most fulfilling and life affirming feeling that sustains us for the challenging moments. My hope is to give you those moments in photographs.
.
So thank you so very much to all the moms that have supported Leslie Levine photography over the years.
.
And I hope the photos we made together continue to bring you joy.
.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Hi, I’m Leslie, the photographer behind the camera 🤍
For me, photography has always been about more than just taking pictures.
It’s about holding onto the moments that pass by way too fast.
Because the truth is…
the days may feel long sometimes, but these seasons of life don’t last forever.
Moms aren’t really asking for more things.
They want:
✨ photos with the people they love most
✨ memories that feel honest and real
✨ a way to remember their family exactly as they are right now
My sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on connection over perfection.
And with Mother’s Day coming up, this is your reminder that some of the best gifts aren’t things at all 🤍
For a limited time, I’m offering $100 off gift certificates before Mother’s Day.
If you’d like the details, comment “MOM” and I’ll send everything over 💌
Mother’s Day is Sunday!
Last week to get $100 off a portrait session where we focus on Mom and her favorite people in the whole wide world.
Can’t wait to make memories with you!
Hi, I’m Leslie🤍
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of capturing families in all of their real, beautiful seasons of life.
And if there’s one thing I know for sure…
the photos that matter most are usually the ones you almost didn’t take.
Because moms don’t really want more stuff.
They want:
✨ photos where they’re part of the memory too
✨ the way their kids look at them right now
✨ something real to hold onto as the years keep moving
My sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on genuine connection, no pressure to be perfect.
With Mother’s Day coming up, here’s your reminder:
the best gifts aren’t always things…
sometimes they’re memories you’ll treasure forever 🤍
For a limited time, I’m offering $100 off gift certificates before Mother’s Day.
