here's everything you need to know about Booking your
I graduated from Rhodes University in Grahamstown at the end of 2005 with a degree in Fine Art and my practical major in Photography. I'm inspired by art history and love to travel - and when it comes to editing, I'm fuelled by Lindt chocolate, and strong, sweet Five Roses tea.
Couples are special, each with their own unique dynamics, traditions and quirks. It's why I'm not a "cookie-cutter" photographer - because you aren't a "cookie-cutter" couple.
I'll guide you through your poses so you never have to feel awkward. I have a relaxed and documentary-style approach to my photography to help you feel at ease in front of the camera.

To make things easy, I have one base collection, with additional products and services that can be added on, based on your personal requirements.

We were DELIGHTED with each and every photograph! Leigh was able to capture every hilarious, special and unique moment from our event. She has an eye for detail, and ensured each photograph we hoped to capture on the day, was captured beautifully! Leigh is so kind, approachable and professional...10/10!
