We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be interested in the "cheese ball" shots and would best capture our personalities (we're weird enough when we aren't awkwardly posed). She worked well with a variety of crazy, loud, weird people to make our day look as magical as it felt. There is a small fee for paying with a credit card, so I do recommend having the cash funds available when you can.

Stephanie was a great photographer for our big day. When she found out we didn't have a wedding…read moreplanner during our initial consult meeting, she also gave us some great tips/hints, which led us to feeling a little less overwhelmed with it all. During that first meeting, Stephanie made sure to walk through the general look and feel of what she'd be doing during our wedding. We went over a pretty comprehensive list of family/group shots that we wanted, and she assured us that the day was going to be special. When she showed up for the day of the wedding, she was prepared and professional and definitely knew how to handle two anxious grooms who were running around making sure everything was good for the festivities. My partner and I just let Stephanie take the reins for how our photos were done, and I'm sure she would have preferred a *little* guidance, we're so glad we did, because her ideas were better than anything we could have come up with. Also, having that list of group shots was so important, because it made taking pictures with all of our family and friends fly by. As for the ceremony and reception, Stephanie was adept at blending in/not being noticed while capturing all the memories we could hope for. The pictures have been fantastic, and I don't know if there's a better person who can take two awkward guys, put them in what seem like awkward poses, and make beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Stephanie!

Ricardo did a fabulous job shooting our wedding, rolled with the punches (weather! low lighting!…read morerebellious toddlers!) and got a good number of images back to me within half as many days as we'd agreed to. Before the wedding we met once to go over logistics and agree on a shot list. The meeting was pleasant and I left feeling confident that he understood what we wanted - mostly candids of our guests enjoying themselves during the reception and a quick family photo session in the park immediately following our ceremony. On the day of my wedding, about two hours before we were supposed to meet at Brooklyn Bridge Park we had to call off the park ceremony due to rain. We also pushed everything back an hour. Ricardo was very understanding and when I showed up at The Green Building (our reception venue) he was already there with his assistent, had shot all my precious little DIY details before the guests had a chance to settle in, and expertly captured our ceremony in a much different setting than we'd discussed. During the party I didn't even know he was there, which to me is a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of our shots and would 100% recommend Ricardo and Leon Images to a friend. In fact, I already have.

She brings such an amazing energy to every shoot and makes you feel right at home. Sasha has seen our family through so many stages of life.

We truly love working with Sasha and getting to have her talent as a part of our family history. Feeling awkward in front of the camera? Don't worry, Sasha will make you feel like a natural-born model. Worried about logistics on your wedding day? Don't worry, Sasha has it down to a science.

My girlfriend and I had an outstanding time working with her as we had never done a photoshoot before and Sasha made us *feel* like we had been working together for a while! You will not be disappointed with the experience you'll have with her and the final products will simply blow you away!! Thanks again Sasha! - S&M

I worked with Nicole 2 years ago! I just realized I had a yelp account!

The entire process and the touch ups took less than two weeks. Signing up and getting her to come in to the office was a breeze. Very affordable and I will be using her again this year. My entire team loved working with Nicole and had a blast too. Taking headshots can feel lIke you're in line to take elementary school pictures, but Nicole went above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Haha, some of the even more high maintenance of individuals I work with.... haha... were so thrilled they even used the pictures for their dating profiles. I think she also does headshots for that too lol! Thanks Nicole you're the best!

I was referred to Nicole by a colleague because I was in need of a head shot. I contacted her on…read morethe phone and she was very friendly. We decided to meet a couple days later at the Olympic Sculpture Park (weather permitting). If the weather was not so great we were going to meet at her studio in West Seattle. The weather turned out to be great so we met at the Sculpture Park. She made the session very fun and relaxing. It was easy to smile for her. I generally do not like to have my picture taken at all, or rather, do not enjoy looking at pictures of myself. That is why I was so pleasantly surprised when she sent me the link of the photos from the session, which she sent the same day as the session. She had taken lots of great pictures! I got to pick which ones to keep and she retouched them and sent the final link to me (as well as the invoice) via e mail. I will definitely be using her again for any future photography needs I may have, and would highly recommend her to others. The whole process was so easy from scheduling the session to receiving the link for the photos and paying. The price is very reasonable as well!

On a recent trip to Seattle, my wife and I were able to meet up with Keoni again and had him show us the best parts of the city. So cool that he was there to capture those places and eventful moments for us on camera. Wouldn't it be awesome to always travel with your own personal photographer! While in Seattle we were introduced to John at happy hour, great personality and I would imagine easy to work with as well. I wouldn't hesitate to have these guys shoot our next big event.

We took photos in her studio as well as in another beautiful nearby office space, and my session also included something I never would have thought about but really appreciated - professional hair or makeup. I chose makeup, and was amazed at how talented the makeup artist, Jane, was. For someone who has never had professional makeup done before, and wears very little, I was so impressed by how gorgeous it turned out in the pictures. To top it off, Allyne is incredibly warm, professional, and accommodating, making the whole experience really smooth and enjoyable - especially for someone like me who hates to have her photo taken. I would highly recommend her and can't wait to get these photos up on my website!

After looking at their portfolio and realizing their style matched up with our aesthetic and vision for our wedding photographs, we began our relationship with Sadie and Diwas. Over the course of the next 6-ish months, they both took a lot of time to get to know Rodney and myself, how we met, about our family, friends and of course, our upcoming wedding. The treatment we received from DIWAS far exceeded our exceptions.

These are just a few words that come to my mind when I think about Ksenia, our amazing wedding photographer. I'm not sure my review can do her justice because Ksenia was my favorite professional to work with and one of the best decisions I made during the stressful wedding planning. I immediately fell in love with her aesthetic when I looked at her portfolio and knew our wedding photos would come out exactly as I would have wanted if we worked with her. But what really put Ksenia above all others was her professional and happy attitude that she puts into working with her clients. During our meetings, Ksenia was very positive and even though my husband wasn't too keen on hiring a photographer and having to pose for so many photos, Ksenia came up with creative ways to appease him that allowed us to get our photos in but also got maximum time to spend with her guests. You really don't know what it's like to work with a photographer until the day of and I know it can be scary but let me tell you that Ksenia was the one that put us and our guests' minds as ease when things didn't go as planned. She maintained her positive and happy demeanor throughout the entire long wedding day and snapped all the beautiful moments of the day. I had the pleasure of hiring her for both the rehearsal dinner cruise the night before and the wedding day so I got to see her in action TWICE! She was so on it. All our guests commented on how she was not intrusive in taking photos but she was Workin' it all night! She was everywhere!! I don't know how that's even possible. On the wedding day, she had an assistant who helped her be even more present everywhere. It was such a dream working with Ksenia and I highly highly recommend her for your wedding photographer if you are even slightly drawn to her aesthetic. You will NOT regret it. Tip for the Bride & Groom - the only thing I wish I did better in the photos department is I wish I wrote out a better list of photos I wanted to get done and planned out exactly when they were going to happen. I half planned that part and thought it could happen naturally but that is just not the case in weddings.....In the moment I thought would be OK but afterwards regretted not taking every single photo I wanted. I should've told Ksenia to hold me accountable to what I said I wanted before the wedding started because my brain didn't work the same once it started (too caught up in the moment). I'm grateful I had two days to get all the photos in though so it worked out for me but if you only have one day, plan it out to the T!
