When we decided to get married and started thinking about logistics like who would do the catering and which photographer to go with, we knew that we’d like Leo on board. Neil knew Leo from years back and, although I didn’t know him well, I really liked the look of his photography.
It was one of the easiest, best decisions of the whole process of getting married.
From the very beginning Leo worked hard to ensure the day would be as easy for us as possible. He and his fab wife knew exactly what they were doing in terms of the timings, which meant we didn’t really have to ‘plan’ any specific photo-shoot slots into the day. In fact, it meant that pretty much all photos were captured without our knowledge apart from a few key ones with groups we had agreed with Leo beforehand. That took out a lot of the stress of organising people into groups, and importantly meant the guests could get on with the celebrations without hanging around waiting for photos.
Leo was super easy to work with throughout the planning process, the day itself and beyond. He made us feel really at ease straight away - he and his wife are funny, thoughtful and great with all kinds of people (including kids) - which is obviously a really good mix! The guests loved them and so did we.
What was amazing is how Leo managed to get such a massive range of group photos, action shots, images of the venues before they were full of people, and serene moments between my husband and I, all pretty much without us knowing they were doing it. More importantly, each and every guest was captured. Some of those lovely people are no longer with us so to have such wonderful memories captured in such a beautiful way was so important.
The photos themselves were simply stunning; there were funny ones, pretty ones, celebratory ones and of course some raucous party shots too. In fact, the hardest part of the process for us was after the wedding, choosing which photos to select for our album, because they were all so brilliant. In reality though, we could have chosen any from the range of photos because they captured the day perfectly from lots of different perspectives, which ultimately has led to us having the most wonderful memories captured forever.
Leo and his amazing wife did a fantastic job and we’d highly recommend them, without hesitation, to anyone thinking of having photos of their own celebrations.
