About Leslie Joy Photography

Leslie Joy Photography

Photographer

A former wedding planner turned photographer, my eye for details comes second only to my heart for authentic moments of joy. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, it is my honor and my passion to create timeless imagery to tell your story. My mission is to preserve the memories of your wedding in the most extraordinary way.

For this grand celebration of your love, I believe it's importance to strike a balance. My approach is a mix of both traditional portraiture and candid imagery. I strive to capture the biggest moments and the smallest details to provide a full picture of what the day looked and felt like, with a signature edit that will allow your memories to endure for decades to come. Most importantly, I want to create space for you to fully be present in the moment, with a peace of mind in knowing you'll be able to revisit these unforgettable memories again and again.

The Best Photographer We Could Have Asked For!!

I had such an incredible experience working with Leslie! She is truly detail-oriented, remembering every single thing I mentioned and making sure my vision came to life. She’s so down-to-earth and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. During our engagement shoot, she guided us effortlessly, showing us how to pose in a way that felt natural and comfortable. We're both not usually in front of the camera so I worried that it would be hard but with Leslie, we felt so confident, had an amazing time and the pictures she captured were absolutely stunning! Everything about working with her, from her easy-to-use portal to her beautifully designed website, was seamless. She is not only an amazing photographer but also such a kind and loving person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about their clients. I feel so lucky to have found her!
Our wedding was better because of Leslie!

Leslie was one of the preferred vendors for our wedding venue, Wedgewood Sterling Hills, and the minute I saw her online portfolio I knew I wanted her for our wedding. Now I have beautiful photos and she’s my friend for life, so it was a win-win for me. She was extremely thorough, asking important questions about myself and my husband, to ensure that she understood US as people. I felt heard and listened to every step of the way. I remember very early in our first call I mentioned that my husband makes me ALWAYS makes me laugh with small quick quiet quips. My favorite picture from our wedding is a stolen moment from our photo hour where we’re taking a break and he’s making me laugh. I love that picture. Lastly, DO THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION. Our engagement session was SO fun. Leslie gives incredible direction, she taught us how to pose, and made us feel very supported and comfortable prior to our wedding. If I saw someone else with my engagement photos I’d be so envious of how effortless they seem (so I’m glad they’re mine).

Leslie was wonderful to work with. She was extremely well versed in the Santa Barbara elopement experience and her energy and creativity the day of the wedding was great. We are so happy with the images and she delivered them much faster than we expected!

Leslie is an absolute gem! She captured our wedding in April 2024 in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. Based in Santa Barbara California, Leslie is not only incredibly talented but also super organized and professional. On what could have been a stressful day, especially when I felt like I was running behind schedule, Leslie and her team stepped in with calm reassurance and comforting words that made all the difference. Their positive energy kept me grounded and allowed me to truly enjoy the moment. As a thoughtful surprise, Leslie gifted us beautiful printouts of our wedding photos. They are absolutely perfect, and I can’t stop looking at them! It was such a sweet and meaningful gesture that truly reflects how much she cares about her clients and her work. Leslie’s attention to detail, her ability to capture every precious moment, and her genuine kindness make her the sweetest and most wonderful photographer you could ask for. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also kind, supportive, and a joy to work with, Leslie is the one. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Leslie!
