Lee Speary Photography

ave always been by Lee's work, I knew that booking his services would be the perfect gift! He far exceeded expectations throughout the entire process. Coordination of services was straightforward and he was a blast to work with on the day of the wedding. He captured so many moments big and small, and made every image feel special and magical. The bride and groom were thrilled with how their photos came out and I am so grateful to Lee for playing a huge role in their big day!

he provided. He had great communication leading up to our wedding, so we knew everyone was on the same page. He showed up early the day of our wedding, which really helped calm any nerves. Lee was super professional and fun which helped put everyone at ease so the pictures seemed more natural. Lee captured all of the angles but you barely even noticed he was there. His 2nd photographer was just as amazing! Even our guests were complimenting him throughout the night! We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing; better than we could've ever imagined! We can't wait to see the rest of them! We highly recommend Lee for your wedding photographer or any photography needs! 

uring the simple moments to the more extravagant moments. He was right on the money with every picture he took . 100% recommended him for any picture related needs . 

the day fun for everyone. We knew it would be awesome based on referral from his work at another wedding we attended Thank you!

ting your picture taken. The photos turned out spectacular! We couldn't be happier.

ore natural. He is incredibly creative and everything he has done for us has absolutely exceeded expectations.

e was able to think of photo ideas based on our venue on the spot. We have had many guests tell us Lee's personality was very enjoyable and fun to be around. Lee even did a back flip during a spin the bottle and dance in the circle event when it landed on him! Lee provided over 800 photos, all of which are amazing. The quality and quantity of photos are beyond our expectations of wedding photos. The diverse set of photos that were taken is also great. Everything from all of the standard wedding photos to unique shots of guests and things at the venue are invaluable to us. We would recommend Lee to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (or photographer for anything else too). Lee was great and helped make our wedding day perfect!

nnouncement pictures for our first baby, milestone pictures, and his one year pictures are going to be done by him in the coming weeks. Lee is an incredibly genuine, professional, punctual and talented photographer. The hardest part about planning your wedding is finding people that care about a day so important to you and will put in the effort to make your day everything you dream of…. Lee is that Photographer!! He will capture your love and memories beautifully and is definitely worth giving the opportunity to him to be part of your beautiful day! I couldn’t recommend him more!

hots we wanted/needed, but also made sure we didn’t spend too much time away from our guests. Highly recommend!

tarted and yet he came bright and early with NO complaints– he brought with him a kind, joyous, and celebratory energy that touched every person he talked to. Lee is a party in and of himself – he immediately had us all laughing while simultaneously looking more photogenic than we ever have in real life! Lee is hilarious, sweet, and fun, and truly made the day of everyone he interacted with, which is the absolute best praise for any wedding vendor. He also brought along Joe, who has a quiet kindness that made us all immediately love him as well. Joe was more soft-spoken than Lee but had a warmth to him that perfectly worked alongside Lee’s energy. What a great team! Lee and his team’s personality alone is more than enough reason to hire them, but the photography – WOW. Some of these photos literally made us gasp when we saw them (and we were there!!). The colors, the brightness, the framing – everything is so beautiful, and they just truly captured the love and happiness we felt that day. Some photographers are clearly more comfortable in just one aspect of weddings – the people or the scenery or the food- but every picture Lee and his team took was such high-quality, beautiful art. There is a creativity and uniqueness in their photos that are truly an extension of their creative and unique personalities. They are some of the most breathtaking wedding photos I have ever seen, and I can’t believe they are mine! We missed Lee in the days after our wedding. We immediately felt he was one of our friends, and felt a little betrayed when we re-read his reviews and realized everyone he photographs feels this way! Lee and his team were one of the very best parts of our wedding and I wish we could rate them higher than a perfect score, because they went so above and beyond what their jobs required to make our day perfect.

aged or posed as he captured so many wonderful moments so naturally. And any photos where he did have us pose, still felt natural and came out absolutely gorgeous! We cannot say enough wonderful words to explain how amazing Lee truly is with his work. He not only captured moments throughout our wedding day and events that we may have otherwise missed, but it all came together to relive those special moments again. We will cherish these moments and memories for years and years to come. You would be lucky if you can grab up Lee as your wedding photographer! Thank you Lee for everything you did!

t. I highly recommend his work, and enjoyed working with him.

tos. I was stunned when I received the edits. He went above and beyond expectations. His assistant was also amazing. While Lee was with us ladies, his assistant was with the men. He got great shots of the guys and now I feel like I was there with them. I cannot recommend Lee and his team enough. They are all incredible and professional.

h our venue was a HUGE bonus! His fun sense of humor got everyone out of their shell for plenty of genuine laughter in our photos, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out!! Would definitely recommend working with him!

tive, far beyond your basic cliché wedding photos. We are so happy to have chosen Lee to capture this day. Because of him we have so many amazing photos to cherish.

sual wedding photos that you see in every wedding post, but Lee was different! He is an artist. His photos are paintings, and look like works of art. My daughter was intent on getting great sunset and mood photos and once we saw Lee’s photos we knew he was our guy! The best part was his Amazing attitude! He became part photographer and part therapist the week before the wedding. We had so many restrictions at my daughter’s wedding due to the high rate of covid, and we had already lost 2 vendors the week of the wedding since they were ill. Needless to say we were panicking that he might be next. He assured us that he would take all precautions pre-wedding to make sure that he was healthy and present. Once he arrived he became one of the family. He was so much fun and energetic, that the guests loved him as well. We called him the ninja since he was EVERYWHERE but without being intrusive. He literally became one of the highlights of the wedding. It was a weekend wedding so he worked very hard but never lost his energy or patience. Lee remembered everything we told him about what we wanted, and didn’t want in the photos. We just received the photos and all I can say is he captured the “essence” of the entire weekend! His photos are magical! Don’t wait… on the off chance that you’re lucky enough that he’s available… book him! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding, other then choosing the right spouse. ;)

had a way of putting everyone at ease right away. He had us laughing and enjoying the process so much more than I could have hoped for. He has an incredible eye and is so creative in his shots. The result are photos nothing short of stunning. He captured the best of all of us on our wedding day and we are incredibly grateful to have such amazing photos to remember it by. If you want exceptional, unique and stunning photos and a day full of fun and entertainment too, there is only one choice...Lee Speary! Thank you for everything!

hotographer, but Lee set the standard. He captured every moment of our day, even some beautiful shots of us being caught in the rain! Our guests keep raving about how the pictures turned out. Get Lee Speary, have no regrets.

people complimented how wonderful our wedding photos turned out. I would definitely recommend Lee to anyone planning to get married in the near future!

o out of their way to capture a different wedding photo perspective, and Lee did just that! From the very beginning, he was so wonderful in chatting over the phone to get to know us as a couple and our wedding vision. He and Michelle showed up day of and captured every single moment, and made them all picture frame worthy. He was able to capture your obligatory wedding photos as well as the most precious and unscripted moments. As fast as our wedding day went, it was hard to remember the little things, but Lee froze them all in time for us to have forever. They made posing feel natural and always had amazing conversation to make you feel most comfortable. The hard part now will be numbering down the amount of favorites we have to create an album of our own. No one could have done this better for our special vision. They were just the perfect team, thank you both! Highly highly recommended!!

out the amount of pictures we got, the quality, and the return time of getting our pictures back. We would recommend Lee to anyone looking for a photographer!

. When we were getting ready, both he and Joe were so welcomed into the group with their fun personalities. It really gave us the opportunity to truly be ourselves and enjoy the big day. They were both early and made sure to confirm everything ahead of time. THESE PHOTOS: Wow! We didn't know any photographers so we went off of some reviews we saw here at The Knot. So glad we did. Lee (and Joe) had such an amazing way of finding beauty in everything. The simplest pictures to the most complex. He took requests for whatever we wanted to see and no ask was out of reach. His editing was wonderful with a mix of natural, black and white, enhanced, and cleaned up photos to make each one worth the display. He gave us our portfolio of 1,000 pictures a little over a month after our wedding. We were so delighted to share them with our friends and family. If you want your day to be captured from start to finish, including the little moments, big moments, and the ones in between, I would check to see if Lee is available!

their needs for what they want in their photos. Would highly recommend Lee Speary for any photo occasion. We had him for engagement and wedding and are thrilled! Different packages available for wedding at reasonable costs.

ould not be disappointed!" After a brief phone conversation with Lee we decided to book him for our wedding and go ahead with our engagement shoot a few months later. In the sweltering heat of July 2020 smack dab in the middle of Covid, we had an absolutely wonderful photo session at NYS Empire Plaza. His work turn out impeccable even though we were all sweaty messes. Lee was super engaging, very conversational and he knew his cult classic one liners and Dr. Who references which my now husband appreciated! At our wedding he had an assistant named Joe who was just as wonderful to work with as Lee, they both made our photo sessions effortless and he got the littles to stay still and say "squeezeeeeeee" instead of "cheese!" We got beautiful photos under the star filled night sky that we cannot wait to see when the edits are done! We whole heartedly recommend Lee for any wedding photography that you may need.

ve that memory forever in print and am so grateful. He caught all of my ideas on film, plus extra endearing images I never imagined. We have stories and memories to last a lifetime and beyond! Lee was easy going and traveled 2 hours each direction to accommodate my needs as a customer. We had his service for 10 hours and he never showed signed of fatigue. Hire this guy!! He’s MacGyver behind a camera.

sful. I could not say enough great things about him. His pictures came out beautiful!! And we are so happy that we got to work with him.

to our input. Lee made all people feel welcomed at our wedding. I highly recommend Lee. He captured our special day in a very enjoyable way.

from the beginning of the day until the sun set. Their love for photography was apparent from the start and we had such a relaxed and positive day because of their professionalism and care. Not only did they travel to us during the pandemic, they carefully planned and captured hundreds of gorgeous, creative, and stunning shots. We cannot wait to see them again for our second wedding, and know with certainty they will again capture the most beautiful moments of the day with a creative and naturalistic touch.

, getting all of those special shots, even ones I hadn't thought of. They had shots I couldnt imagen how they had got them, because they were so quite in the background in those special moments. All around beautiful, with a great eye. We loved them both.

and his personality had my entire bridal party and our families cracking up. He is awesome!

had a small backyard ceremony and reception on our original date. Lee was the most flexible, cooperative and helpful vendor through it all. He captured every little moment through our big day. It’s so hard to pick just one favorite picture because they are all beautiful. I’m so glad we’re having a second wedding because we get to do it all over again with him. I highly recommend using Lee Speary Photography. There is no way you’ll be disappointed.

r wedding but he added to the excitement of the day. We would most definitely hire him again for any photography needs.

ny photos from our wedding that we would rate as stunning; we were expecting to only have a few “favorites” that maybe were at the caliber of his showcased work, but instead there were hundreds of photos we loved. Although we knew he was good from his portfolio, the consistency in shot composition, color balance, editing, attention to detail, and ability to capture the moment still completely floored us! The photos also really told a story, and we even felt like we learned new things when reviewing the photos the second time around. For example, I got to see my father’s expression after an emotional hug. It was a great experience. He also had a nice blend of candid and posed shots. Some of the shots had more natural lighting, and some looked more enhanced to create a particular look that fit the mood of the picture. This mixture was great. And with over 900 photos for our intimate wedding, the variety was incredible! He was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. He has a passion for photography that comes through with his energetic and enthusiastic spirit. All the guests liked him. When I was nervous, his words and jokes helped put me at ease. He was constantly inspired by his surroundings, which evoked many creative ideas. He also listened and tried to incorporate our ideas. In conclusion, we could not have chosen a better photography! We give our absolute highest recommendations for Lee Speary!

heir photos, I want their photographer." He was so much fun to have shoot us in NYC for our engagement photos, and in NJ for our wedding. He resides in upstate NY and was willing to travel for us, staying committed to our requested date. Lee not only delivers beautiful photos, but effectively communicates via: phone, email, text message, you name it. Lee worked around our busy schedule and did our first look photo shoot in addition to the ceremony and venue photos. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants an upbeat, optimistic and flexible photographer who is always finding inspiration in his pictures!
