Leigh Skaggs Photography

a shot. She and our day-of coordinator worked together to build a schedule that met our needs and executed flawlessly. Could not recommend Leigh more for your special day!

s why. Our wedding (and engagement) photos came out amazing. She captured every emotion, every special moment and things I missed during the day. Just all around, phenomenal. My guests commented on how wonderful and professional she was. Thank you Leigh!!!!!

ergy, and insanely efficient– she returned my WHOLE wedding gallery in under 2 weeks. Highly recommend!

ery time I look at my wedding album, I get to relive every moment of that amazing day. Leigh also did my husband's and I engagement photos which were equally as beautiful. My friends and family said, "Leigh captured our personalities and love for each other" in the photos! You will not regret booking the best photographer in town!

r engagement shoot/wedding day! She kept everything moving in a timely fashion and got all the shots we asked for (and more we didn't even think of!) But perhaps most importantly, she was so friendly, nice, and fun!! Having beautiful pictures is (of course) a wonderful thing, but having such a lovely human being taking those pictures and supporting/guiding us through the magnificent whirlwind that was our wedding day was priceless :) <3 I would recommend Leigh (and her awesome team!) to any future bride! Her services were worth every penny, and I am SO happy we had her on board for our big day! <3

he just made it so much fun. She's super organized and on top of it- kept this "type A" bride sane beforehand- stuck to the timeline, etc - all of the professional things you could ever ask for! She was flexible and supportive when we had to postpone from 2020 to 2021. And most importantly, the photos are absolutely spectacular! We love them and have gotten so so many compliments. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, hire Leigh!

cting everyone where they needed to be for family pictures and bridal party pictures. She made sure to get all shots that we wanted and then some. She helped keep me calm when my ring bearer threw up all over my maid of honor 1.5 hours before the ceremony. She helped get the dress rinsed off and dried. There were still a few spots on it, but no one knew anything. She was incredible, and we will forever recommend her to anyone and everyone. Photos are the only thing you have to look back on of that day. Pick the photographer that understands how important they are. Leigh Skaggs you are amazing. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!

or too!) Handled all the family dynamics, like a true champ. From detail shots to fireworks photography, each photo tells a piece of the story of the day. I have said for years, her photography makes me want to marry my husband all over.

dria, VA ahead of time and even had spots in mind where she felt we could get some phenomenal photos, which we did! I really appreciated her taking the effort to do this research before even meeting us. For our wedding, we found it extremely helpful to work with Leigh to create a timeline and family shot list beforehand. Leigh is very easygoing and was a delight to have around during the wedding day (as was her assistant and daughter Morgan). Although I don't have any prior experience with wedding photographers, we received photos back within about 10 days, which I understand is seemingly record speed. And the photos are phenomenal with over 1200 to choose from! I could not say more great things about Leigh, and my bridal party/family have raved about her repeatedly since our wedding! Throughout the process, I especially appreciated Leigh's prompt communication, answering my questions at any hour of the day. We would HIGHLY recommend Leigh as a wedding photographer!!

went so smoothly. She really listened to what we wanted and captured EVERY moment from that day. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants photos done in general. She is the best photographer we could have asked for!

ly one-of-a-kind. My husband and I got married in the early stages of the pandemic and Leigh had no problem pivoting from our 150+ person ceremony and reception to a *very* intimate gathering. If you want someone who is more than a body behind the camera (and you DO!) do yourself a favor and reach out to Leigh right now. PS- Mine was the third of three weddings in my group of girlfriends and we all used Leigh. Another friend just got engaged and booking Leigh is her #1 to-do. We can't imagine weddings without her!

Augustine to do our wedding. She was great at helping us find poses (Since we are not the best) and even let us free style if we wanted to do something weird. Before the day of the wedding, she was in constant communication with us and helped us put a timeline together as well as went over every photo we wanted. On the day of the wedding, She was there early and got every detail I wanted and helped carry my train during transitions to locations. She also made sure I was fed as well, which I though was really sweet since most people complain they don't get to eat during their wedding. The pictures she took were edited and given to me within a week! So by the time I came back from my honeymoon they were all there and they are beautiful. Leigh is absolutely amazing and personable and I would recommend her for any event. Even my bridesmaids were asking me where I found her because she was so great and made us all feel extremely comfortable and a part of our group. 10/10 wound recommend.

felt like we were just hanging out. She had us completely at ease, joking around and laughing. She made sure I got every single shot I asked for and utilized our locations beautifully. She was communicative and a pleasure to work with. We got our photos ridiculously fast after the wedding day, it was impressive. The only downside was having too many great photos, it was so hard to pick which ones to print!

location of the ceremony, she was amazing and reassured me it was okay and that really showed me how much she cared! She only took photos of the ceremony and then bridal party photos at the beach for me. She showed up before everyone to take pictures of how beautiful my husbands child home was, took so sexy shots of the groom, then came to the front and took some individual photos of me. You can tell she puts everything into her photos and seeing them shows me that. She is amazing and I love her!!! Her assistant was pretty great too!

wn away by her kindness and energy throughout the process as she took our engagement photos, helped us plan our shot list and went our of her way to get all the wedding photos we wanted! There were plenty of things I stressed about before and after the wedding but I never worried about our wedding photos! I am very thankful for her hard work and will treasure the memories she captured!

ng them back to me too!! Thank you so much! I would recommend her anytime !!!!!

wed her to capture photos I would have other wised missed. She is able to make all parties feel comfortable and relaxed, which allowed us to all be ourselves. With her ability to be flexible and take advantage of the time she has, it made me feel at ease when I was running a little late or as plans changed. She is amazing, and her photos are absolutely perfect!!!

was such a special moment and let us do most of the group photos before the ceremony. I can not recommend Leigh enough. Since our wedding, she has photographed the coming of both of our daughters! And we will continue to call on her in the future to make beautiful lasting memories.

to many people.

were more than we ever could’ve imagined. Her work has only gotten better and better over the years and I love seeing all that she’s done. Use her and you will not be disappointed!

engaged there was no question on who our photographer would be. She traveled from the VA Beach area to the Annapolis, MD area for our wedding. She truly captures every detail of the big day. She is able to get through the family and couple photos in a timely manner so you are able to enjoy as much of your wedding as possible. She finds the most beautiful spots at the venue. Your wedding photos are what you will have in the future to remember the day and you will not be disappointed with Leigh!

s one of the very first vendors we booked without a second thought. Whether scaling walls or stopping traffic, Leigh was always willing to go above and beyond for that one epic photo. Leigh (and Kiki!) made the entire photo experience on our wedding day incredibly straight forward and kept us entertained non-stop. These two ladies were so much fun to have around while still getting tons of amazing shots of the entire night, I can’t imagine anyone else delivering the same experience Leigh and Kiki provided.

smoothly and make sure your getting the most out of your wedding day pictures! Leigh and her assistant Kiki have this undeniable sense of fun and passion that make any situation more relaxed and help you feel at home. Working with Leigh, she is a TRUE artist capturing not just beautiful wedding portraits, but unguarded moments of pure happiness and love! I want to thank you again Leigh - for letting Michael and I be ourselves on this important day, and finding the authentic and intimate emotions we shared together. The photographs are timeless, romantic, and exactly how we wanted our most precious day to be remembered. Forever grateful!

ne a ton of wedding photos, so we knew we would be in good hands. She answered all of our questions and helped us lay out our day-of timeline to optimize the time we had her services. We truly enjoyed having her and Kiki accompany us every step of the way on such a special day. Leigh’s energy was refreshing and we felt very comfortable with her taking our photos. She turned the photos around super quick and when we received them we were extremely happy with them! The photos are amazing. Her and Kiki captured a lot of great candid photos, heart-warming photos, and photos against stunning landscapes. We highly recommend Leigh and her team!

perfect shot...even if it means laying wet/muddy grass to get the perfect moon shot under the tree and stars after send-off :) I heard of Leigh as she was the photographer at my friends wedding and she took an amazing picture in the RAIN and we not afraid to stop because of the rain, equipment and all. We wanted an outdoor wedding, but it had been raining all day and we were close to moving it indoors. I asked her if she wouldn't mind shooting in the rain for our ceremony and she said absolutely not! The rain ended up letting up a little and it couldn't have been more perfect, but she was more than willing and prepared to get a little wet! Her team works amazingly together and kept the wedding day and bridal party moving and on time. Not only were the pictures AMAZING, but she is also very easy to communicate with and responds to EVERY question quickly and respectfully. We absolutely LOVED having Leigh and her team (Devon, and Kiki) as a part of our wedding :D oh and in-between shots, Leigh is not afraid to get down and dance!

nds down, it would be Leigh Skaggs!! Leigh has photographed many weddings I have been in and attended. Not to mention following along those friends and family members after their weddings for maternity photos, newborn shots, and family portraits. Her work is simply phenomenal. She is quick to respond, professional, yet fun and personable making you feel comfortable even in awkward or intimate moments. If you don't know how to pose or what to do with your hands like me, don't worry, she will show you and then she'll go above and beyond to get the best angle for the shot. We booked Leigh for our wedding date, Sept 15th. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Florence my husband and I had to make a difficult decision to postpone our wedding to a later date - Oct 27. Devastated we had to change our plans, but grateful for one another, we still decided to wed that day on the beach with family and friends. Leigh was available for our reschedule date, but knew we planned to still marry on that Sept day and have our reception in Oct. Out of the kindness of her heart, she showed up at the beach and took incredible pictures of our ceremony. Her and her other shooters killed it again in Oct capturing every detail of our day from getting ready, to our first look, bridal party shots, family pictures, from dancing to our send off. Thank you for being apart of BOTH our special days. <3

iately answering our many questions from day one and running the wedding day photos like a champ. We clicked right away, and she made our engagement shoot feel effortless. On the actual wedding day, her team was on it from the moment they arrived, capturing every little detail. She wasn't afraid to lie down in the middle of the street for the perfect shot! She even had our photos back to us in less than three weeks, which we were so impressed with! We are so glad we took the time to find a photographer that we loved.

three favorite things about working with Leigh were: 1. She's great at giving clear, concise directions while also keeping things fun and relaxed. Not an easy task! 2. She was happy to review my wedding timeline with me beforehand and provide (extremely helpful) feedback and guidance on a few tricky things I wanted to make sure we captured. 3. She's done this A BUNCH - she's a professional. She knew the equipment to bring, where to be when, and how to get the right candid shots without us even thinking about it. This may seem like a given, but I think Leigh really stands out in this regard. 4. Okay my four favorite things :) she's just a delight! A really fun and perky presence to have at your event. We are absolutely THRILLED with the photos she produced. She shot an engagement session for us in March and our wedding in July. We'll treasure both sets of photos forever!!

h and enthusiastic; exactly the person you would want to take such special and personal photos with. From the moment Leigh arrived at our wedding venue she was incredible. Captured everything we wanted and made it all happen with ease. I can't say enough wonderful things about how she orchestrated all the special moments of our day: from family portraits to just me and hubby right after getting married. I'm not exaggerating when I say I look at our wedding photos every day - they are just gorgeous. You will not regret booking Leigh for one of the most important and special days of your life.

e! I was impressed by her portfolio and the packages she offered. Then when we got to meet her during our engagement photos I knew we were getting so much more than a photographer. Leigh is an absolute joy to be around and she made the entire process so easy for a busy bride! I love the way our photos came out and we will cherish them for years to come. On the day of the wedding, Leigh and her team continued to impress me. They were professional and Leigh helped keep me focused and calm throughout the day, constantly reminding me that it was my day (I’m a people pleaser!). Our wedding was outside on a farm, and Leigh even thought ahead to bring rubber boots for me to wear when we took photos in the field so I didn’t ruin my heels. And the photos...OMG.. they are unreal. Her team was able to capture everything from the guests to the details and everything in between. We will cherish these photos forever and I will be forever grateful that we hired Leigh. I’m looking for any excuse to hire her again, maybe when it comes time for a baby! You won’t be disappointed, because you’ll get great photos and a wonderful person to share your day with! Love her!

stination wedding which is a plus and the quality of her work is extraordinary!! We are happy we choose her t be with us in Jamaica!!! Yeah Mon!! xoxoxo

just as quick in getting us our gorgeous photos. She and her second shooter (husband Jay) were a ton of fun! We would not have taken engagement photos if she hadn’t insisted and I am so glad that she did! They are stunning (and it turns out that we needed the practice before the wedding). Leigh helped us with the day of timeline and was on top of every moment from pre-ceremony to reception. She takes photos that really capture the people and their emotions, there’s no forced silliness. This is the best investment you can make when planning a wedding so choose Leigh!

a huge fan of pictures! My husband and I knew Leigh was right for us because her go with the flow attitude and bubbly personality fit right in with our family & friends. Our wedding guests and bridal party were very impressed with Leigh's professionalism, but also her ability to have fun. She has a way of making you feel calm and relaxed on one of the most exciting/stressful/overwhelming days of your life! My husband and I are SO happy that we chose Leigh for our wedding. The pictures turned out SO beautiful. My husband and I cried tears of joy when we received our wedding album. We didn't hire a videographer, so these pictures were all we had left of the wedding. Leigh captured our day perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer! She is brilliant at what she does and puts her clients first. THANK YOU LEIGH! Tyler and I will forever be grateful for everything you did for us on our special day. YOU & JAY ARE AMAZING!

at we requested. We cannot wait to see our final pictures....we are positive that they will be fantastic. We cannot wait to have Leigh by our side on our wedding day!

t only did they capture some amazing shots (all of them!), they offered support, confidence, humor, and amazing company overall. I found myself reaching out to Leigh in times of stress, and she was able to leave me with a peaceful feeling as soon as I hung the phone up. I can't stop looking at my photos from my engagement and my wedding - she captures beauty in every situation. I have had multiple guests ask how on Earth I found such a down to earth, talented photographer. She is adventurous and talented and that is obvious when you glance at my pictures. I would recommend Leigh to anyone and I cannot wait to ask her to take pictures for me again!

uffolk, VA. Flash forward 24 hours and the rain began without an end in sight. Leigh and Jay took it in stride and produced some of the most beautiful wedding photos given a very limited area to shoot. They didn't skip a beat and even snuck us out to get an amazing rain shot that night! Leigh's personality is warm and fun! She is the type of person you instantly feel comfortable around and that flows into her work. Being camera shy with Leigh is not an option because she has a way of making everything so natural and captures your most candid moments in such a beautiful way! We love Leigh so much that even though we are now 4+ hours away, we still travel back to her for our photography needs. I couldn't suggest a better team for your most special moments! Leigh and Jay are amazing!

gement session with them while they were on THEIR vacation in NYC. They are too kind for letting us steal them away for a bit! We knew from the second we met them that they would be great and couldn't wait to see them again! Leigh is the perfect combination of fun and serious. She knows how and when to use both! Our bridal party was about 24 people plus little ones, and she handled the big group like a champ! During our ceremony you would have never noticed Leigh was there capturing the most beautiful photos - and during the reception, you would have thought she was a guest (in the best way)! Leigh got right in the action of the dancing and partying, and was able to capture images that perfectly described us and our day. I cried at how beautiful the photos turned out when I saw them. I can't thank her and Jay enough for not only the incredible photos we have that will last a lifetime, but for being by far the best people we had the privilege of working with! Also, Leigh and Jay are #marriagegoals. Love love love them!

nly did Leigh travel to Cancun, Mexico to photograph my entire wedding weekend, they blended right in like they were family. My friends and family still talk about how professional they both were, while still be able to kick back and relax, just like they were part of the family. One situation we all still talk about it how AMAZING Leigh and Jay are with going with the flow. My flower girls were getting pretty grumpy after the ceremony just when we wanted to take group shots. Leigh was literally not even phased at all, she worked with them and made them laugh and took amazing shots all while doing it. She made it look so effortless and easy. One quality about Leigh and Jay that also resonated with my husband and I, was there ability to stay calm, low stress and remain so positive and happy during the whole weekend. They make it feel so relaxed, they are truly professionals but they have a "we got this" vibe that just puts everything at ease. I can go on and on about Leigh and Jay but what proves it all, is the RESULT. There is not one photo that I do not absolutely love. Leigh takes risks with photos and she has no fear! I got into the water with my wedding dress for a post wedding day shoot and she was right there with me! In her bathing suit! Another quality about the way they shoot, they NEVER make it feel forced or awkward. You want to be happy and laugh because they are so funny and so care free! It makes it actually fun! Choosing Leigh and Jay to be a part of my wedding in Mexico was the best decision I made and I was in literal tears when I saw the finished product. Once your wedding is over, all you have left are your photos to keep the memory. Hiring Leigh and Jay was worth every penny and I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!!

them! They were kind, fun to work with, and all around nice people!! They were worth every penny. The pictures are stunning and captured the entire day. I could not be happier with their service and I highly recommend them to anyone considering them!!

process. She does her job so incredibly well and she have so much fun doing it that her infectious personality makes everyone have so much fun as well. Jay and Devin were amazing as well! They were so helpful with getting the right shots and making sure I didn't get seen by anyone! In addition to being an amazing photographer, Leigh was a wonderful therapist and kept me calm when I needed it the most. The quality of her work is absolutely worth every single penny. If you want to have the best pictures and have an incredible time doing it, do yourself a favor and hire Leigh and Jay. I guarantee you won't regret it.

he entire photo series. Scrolling through the first look images was like emotional storytelling and her team managed to capture events I didn't know happened (ex: my mom cried during the ceremony)! My empty reception and reception item pictures seriously looked magazine/Pinterest worthy. Thank you Leigh Skaggs Photography for expertly capturing our wedding so we may forever preserve the charm and magic of our special day!

ke a princess with every photograph she took and I can't wait for the future sessions with her! I will never use another photographer because I feel as if Leigh is a part of our story now AND a par t of our family! Always so professional and makes you laugh all day long, your cheeks start to hurt! She's up for anything (like a boat shoot) 😂 even though she wasn't ready for it! Thanks for everything Leigh! And we can't wait to see you again!!!
