Leslie Cress Photography LLC
Kentucky’s Talented Candid Photographer
Leslie is PHENOMENAL! We spent a lot of time researching a photographer for our wedding and we were not disappointed! Leslie was so communicative leading up to the wedding. Helping us figure out our timeline and making sure that we could squeeze in everything that we wanted to do and still have enough “us” time. The day of she made us feel SO comfortable. We spent basically all day with Leslie and neither my husband nor I are super comfortable in front of the camera, but Leslie quickly changed that for us. She made it fun and that came through in the pictures. The turnaround time was exactly what she said it would be, the photos themselves are beautiful, the editing is natural and highlights the day. Everything was absolute perfection! We will be hiring her for all of our photography needs in the future and truly cannot recommend her enough!
Brides, when I tell you having the best photographer makes your whole entire day better, I mean it. Leslie made sure as the bride I was heard above all the other chaos. I have dreamed of having Leslie Cress Photography LLC shooting my wedding day since I came across her page years before I was even engaged! She is the BEST! ❤️❤️

Hi, I’m Leslie, a wedding photographer based in Louisville, Kentucky, serving Central Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and surrounding areas.
My approach to wedding photography is simple: I focus on capturing your day as it truly unfolds. I don’t chase trends or heavily stylized editing — instead, I aim for images that feel honest, timeless, and true to the experience you lived.
I guide you when you need it and step back when moments are happening naturally. From the meaningful details you carefully planned to the big moments and everything in between, my goal is to document your wedding day in a way that feels complete and intentional, without forcing anything to feel overly posed or overly candid.
I believe your photos should reflect real colors, real emotions, and real memories — not a filter or a fad. Years from now, I want you to look back at your images and remember how the day felt, not just how it looked.
When I’m not photographing weddings, I enjoy time with my family, slowing down at home, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. I love working with couples who value authenticity, connection, and having their story told in a way that feels true to them.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will document your wedding day with care, balance, and attention to every moment, I’d love to connect.
