about ME
I'm BRANDI
Hey love! I'm so glad you're here!
My name is Brandi Leigh and I'm from Raleigh, NC. I've been in business photographing weddings for over 12 years now and I absolutely LOVE what I do! I get to capture love stories for a living! It's a literally dream!
A little about me; I'm a mama of 3 almost grown kids. 20, 19 and 17. I love to laugh, I'm obsessed with the color blue (my nails are almost always some random shade of blue), I love nature, growing my own food, pottery, adventures! Traveling is my jam and I will HAPPILY travel to capture your day! When the day has calmed and it's time to wind down, you can almost always find me making jewelry while watching true crime or cartoons, lol I love it.
In this journey throughout all these years of photographing weddings I have cried with my brides, held their dresses up while they pee, and applied their lip gloss. I have frantically wiped tears out of my eyes in order to capture the most touching moments of my couples day. ( This happens all the time ) mostly when the groom is visibly emotional after seeing his bride for the first time, oh! and the special dances (mother/son- father/daughter ) and some speeches really get me! I'm an empath and It's a beautiful mess sometimes!
If you can't tell by now, I absolutely adore every minute of what I do and after all this time I can proudly say, my client experience has continued to improve over that time, becoming something that I'm very, very, proud of today.
Being a wedding photographer isn't the easiest of jobs but after all these years it's my second nature. My clients having a stress-free day and the time of their lives is always my mission and goal and I can't wait to capture yours!
Love, Light and emotion are my inspiration and are the heart and soul of this beautiful ride that I’m on.
