I happened to come across Leslie on my wedding venues Facebook site. She had done a previous wedding at the venue and I loved the photos that I saw.
I emailed her a quick note asking about pricing and the response was quick and VERY thorough. She emailed prices, sent links to previous shoots, asked about my wedding, and offered to talk on the phone. We set up a day to talk and she instantly made me feel comfortable and I knew she would be the perfect person to take my wedding photos.
Leslie took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The package that we selected included engagement photos which was perfect because it got us comfortable with her before the big day. Our engagement photos were perfect and just the vibe that we were going for (rustic).
Leading up to our wedding day, Leslie was in constant contact. I actually emailed her photos of shots that I wanted to get at my wedding and she made sure to fit them in to the timeline for the day. The most AMAZING shot was up on top of a hill overlooking the Fallbrook / Temecula valley. I die over it. We also had a call about a week before the wedding to go over final details, timeline of the day, special photo requests, etc. My mom and I both wanted a lot of family photo options and she made sure to get those in. She also took individual pictures of our guests with their families / dates which was a nice surprise when we got our proofs!
Overall, Leslie is AMAZING. She is so sweet, patient, detailed oriented, and will make you feel comfortable no matter the situation. I would highly recommend her for family photos, engagement, wedding, baby photos. You name it! I will be sure to use her when my time comes for maternity / new born photos!

Leslie did both our engagement and our wedding day photos. She is extremely talented, sweet, and gets the job done quickly. We have so many different poses and lighting to pick through when she returned our photos to us it was fantastic. She is so sweet and very patient with people who may not be as comfortable in front of a camera like my husband and I. She makes you feel and look like a model :) we will absolutely use her again as babies come along ;) More...

Leslie is WONDERFUL! If she is available for your wedding day book her immediately!! :) She has a beautiful, romantic style of photography and she absolutely captured all the love at our wedding in her photos!
I did a boudoir session as well as our engagement and wedding photos! Everything was fantastic. We have some really gorgeous photos at the beach for our engagement session (and since we actually live on the East Coast she was really awesome about doing the engagement session the same week as our wedding). The boudoir photos I gave to my husband as a surprise - it was this really cool, sexy leather book - he loved it! And it wasn't awkward at all with Leslie - which is amazing because having a stranger take photos of you in your underwear seems like it would be totally awkward - but we had a blast! I would highly recommend adding this to the package. Our wedding photos are unbelievable! We have gotten so many compliments on them. She really captured the magic of our special day and you can tell what a wonderful time everyone was having. We have amazing portraits, beautiful flowy romantic shots of the two of us and hilarious dancing photos of our rowdy family and friends!
She gave us tons of photos (we had over 1,000 in our gallery) and she is super quick to respond to email! And was completely accommodating of all my questions and concerns no matter how last minute they were (e.g., my baby niece just woke up from a nap and is smiling so can you go take her photo right now!). She hadn't shot at the venue before so she even came to meet me there one day and take a look at it! My husband who claimed he "didn't want to spend a long time taking pictures while a party was going on" also loved working with Leslie and even said "the portraits didn't take that long" but I have hundreds of amazing photos of us! She really is fabulous! Highly recommend!

LESLIE IS AMAZING!
First of all- she hooked it up letting me exchange, if you will, a boudoir photo session for the engagement photo session that was included in our package.
She also did this on the DL- kept it totally private and secret from my then soon-to-be husband so I could use the pictures to make a book for him for his gift on our wedding day. Needless to say the boudoir session was amazing, really classy, sexy, and not awkward at all... which I for one think is an amazing accomplishment in itself because I had NO clue what to do... she even suggested different types of outfits/dress to wear for the boudoir shoot that was like "duh! why didn't I think of that?!" She is seriously amazing, and the pictures were really cute, and even classy enough that I felt comfortable sharing the book I had complied with my mother-in-law! Yea- she's that good!
Now the Wedding... I didn't know someone could actually capture the feelings you're sharing through a camera in such a beautiful and authentic way. The pictures she provided we astounding in every way- not just with the way my husband and I looked, but she captured moments of other peoples joy and love and we now have that documents... also lots of awesome perfect-timed pictures of peoples dance moves... especially my husbands, those are my favorite ;)
Leslie and her partner are amazing. She is worth more than she asks, and you will be beyond happy with their work.
Also the packaging that the photos and USB come in? Keeping it forever!

I owe my life to Leslie! The most stressful part of my wedding planning was trying to find a photographer who could see my vision of the day and capture it, Leslie did more than that.
Her photography was exactly what i was looking for, a soft romantic touch.
I first did a Boudoir shoot for my husband to give him after the wedding and i couldn't be more amazed at how the photos turned out. My husband cried when i gave it to him after the wedding they were so beautiful and the perfect gift for a wedding and while he was deployed!
My wedding day Leslie and her assistant were WONDERFUL. They were so fun and outgoing that it made everyone more comfortable and the day more easy flowing. They made my husband come out of his comfort zone, they got so many photos of him laughing and smiling that i think he was actually starting to show off for them! All the details of my wedding and the photos throughout were taking so beautiful and they captured every detail just right!
I am so in love with my photos! Every time I look at them i can feel the raw emotion and the fun and joy in them and thats more than I could ever ask for!

Leslie photographed our wedding last summer. I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She was incredibly easy to work with, fun, light hearted, and you can tell she simply loves what she does.
Let's be real, weddings can be very stressful occasions, but Leslie really made it go so much smoother and helped keep me focused on what really mattered.
Having her as a photographer for our wedding was one of the best decisions I made for our big day. She captured so many perfect moments that will now be picturesque memories for us and our family to share.
Not only did she capture amazing moments but also with great lighting, and a romantic touch. I had plenty of people in my wedding party who also commented on how much fun she was to work with, opposed to previous wedding photographers they had experienced.
Not only did I get some sneak peek photos to share right away after the wedding, but she also had the photo album up and ready in a very quick and timely manner.
Leslie goes the extra mile to make sure she has the perfect shot. If and when I ever need another photographer for any occasion, Leslie will be my go to girl.

Leslie did both out engagements and wedding photos! I talked to sooo many different photographers for our special day and it definitely gets overwhelming especially when everyone that you know wants to recommend someone!
Anyways I went with someone who really caught my eye (which I saw great reviews) on wedding wire. She was totally affordable. The color and the light was just beautiful and simple, just what we wanted. We saw a lot of photographers that made photos dark and dramatic which we did not want.
As most of us know taking photos with someone you don't know can be very awkward! Leslie made us feel very comfortable she's very fun and outgoing. She's perfectly on time with everything as far as appointments and photo deliveries, as we can be very anxious to see pictures she will keep you posted frequently with an update.
We highly recommend her and we can't wait to use her again!! Thank you so much Leslie for capturing the best day of our lives!

I loved working with Leslie. She did both our engagement session and our wedding. She traveled up to LA twice for us! She was early, had a professional manner, flexible attitude and she was stealthy! One of my mother's biggest pet peeves is incessant photographer's clicking during a wedding. We had Leslie and her assistant and you'd never have known they were there. They were so quiet! Leslie was very communicative prior to our wedding (and afterward too) and was very careful to get a detailed list of 'must have' pictures for our big day. My only complaint is that after having all day coverage and two photographers, we only received 500 pictures back. I'm probably being overly picky, but I was hoping to have more pictures. She worked very fast and we have several takes of all of our posed shots. I'm very happy with our collection, I just wish we had more. More...

Leslie did some cross country work for us! Our engagement pictures were in Coronado, CA, and our wedding was in Noblesville, IN. In both locations, her shots and ideas were stunning. One of the biggest compliments we got following our wedding was the photography. Guests were thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and unique photos. Leslie made my husband and I feel very comfortable, and allowed us to have fun while being ourselves! I would highly recommend her to anyone planning their "I do's". More...

Leslie is an amazing photographer to work with. I had the chance to work with her at a friends wedding previously and she was very professional but she knew how to keep everything fun. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to photograph our big day. Our pictures were beautiful yet they really reflected our personality, she was easy to work with and even got my husband to smile for pictures! Whenever I need a photographer, for anything, I will definitely be contacting Leslie. More...

Leslie is simply the best. I've worked with a lot of photographers through the years who have run the spectrum from terrible to terrific, and Leslie is among my favorites.
She captured every detail of our wedding perfectly, and in a style that matched my vision for the day. She worked tirelessly through the hottest day on record in Escondido in 100 years, helped wrangle our families and bridal party into some amazing shots (including what I think is THE best wedding party picture ever!), and coached even my camera-shy husband into some really great, natural moments. I have not stopped getting compliments on our pictures, even nearly three months after the wedding, and I highly recommend Leslie to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed.

We got married 4-4-14 and Leslie really did shoot everything we needed. my video guy finished product was less then desired, but thank god i had Leslie because my wedding photos are seriously amazing! she captured so many touching moments that NOW i will never forget!

LeslieAnn and her accompanying photographer were absolutely fabulous at our wedding in Balboa Park, San Diego, Ca! They were early and stayed late just to make sure they didn't miss any special moments. .. we got our pictures less than a month after the event! every single one had been beautifully edited and saved for us on a personalized flashdrive as well as a book worth of prints and a beautiful gift... I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and constantly refer her to all our friends. More...

Love, love, love Leslie and her photography. She replied to all our queries immediately and was available whenever we needed her. We don't live in the San Diego area, but she was willing to make the drive to us 3 times - never hesitated. She even squeezed in a last minute boudoir shot (which, by the way, I was quite nervous about, but Leslie made it very comfortable). Her photography is absolutely beautiful & her prices cannot be beat. Leslie showed up early on the big day and stayed late - she captured it all. We are SO, SO pleased. I absolutely recommend Leslie for your engagement, boudoir & wedding photos. In fact, we are so pleased with her work, we are looking to do family portraits with Leslie too. ;) More...

I LOVE Leslie. I planned my wedding from overseas (I'm originally from LA but live in New Zealand) & of all the vendors, none were as accommodating or professional as Leslie. I flew home last Fall to organize everything & was referred to Leslie by a friend. At our first meeting, I felt as tho I'd known her for years. She makes you feel like a friend rather than a client. Because of the time difference between LA & NZ, I relied entirely on email & she was always efficient w/responding in a timely manner. B/C of the distance between us, we weren't able to do an engagement shoot; HOWEVER, my hubby & I arrived in LA 2 weeks before the wedding, so Leslie, being the clever little gem she is, asked if we had a few hrs to squeeze in a "Before & After" style engagement shoot. We had the BEST time. Leslie gave great direction & produced an awesome, fun shoot (she was a great sport w/our silly Zoolander impressions, too)! On our wedding day, she was punctual & brought an assistant (who was SO sweet, by the way) & they both stayed until the very end (a good 10 hour day or so), so they were quite the troopers! If you haven't already seen the pictures on her website, they're AMAZING. Not to sound cliche, but they absolutely exceeded every expectation I ever had. There's no better feeling than looking back at the happiest moment of your life & seeing beautiful photos that captured every second. Leslie gave us sneak peaks just a few DAYS after our wedding & had every single photo, edited & the wole sha-bang, up on an online gallery within a few weeks. Leslie, thank you SO much again for making the most special day of my life one I (& Carl) will never forget. Your professionalism, passion, & overall work ethic are just a few of your awesome attributes. Carl & I wish you all the best & we know your gift will take you very far. It was a pleasure working with you & hopefully we will see you for a maternity shoot in the not-too-far-off future! More...

Leslie, is seriously the best photographer ever! I am sure your reading reviews all over the place of people saying that. But, no . Seriously from the beginning consultation, to the final wedding album we have been more then pleased with her and her service. Leslie has a great creativity side to her work. My husband and I were so pleased with the different hidden locations she had for our engagement session. I heard it takes months to get your wedding photos back from the photographer. We had all 900+ back and up in our gallery in about a month. That's unheard of. If you happen to have a favorite pose or some creative shots you want her to do she will gladly do It. There were so many moments on my wedding day that I thought oh that would of been a great shot and when we got the photos back I realized Leslie got them ALL. If you have questions throughout the wedding plans she is so easy to get a hold of. Her personality is beyond amazing. All of our friends, family, and wedding party were all so pleased with her professionalism, and courtesy. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to be such a big part of my special day!! Leslie, Thank you so much for everything you did for us! We couldn't of been happier! More...

This photographer went above & beyond to capture all the special moments of our day! She had my husband & I both feeling comfortable and in turn captured the true us and beauty of our day. She covered everything we asked for And we received our pictures in a timely manner. We are a blended family & therefor had 2 sets of twins in the pictures as well & she was so patient to also get great shots of them! She is nurturing, patient, calm, and ready to trail through bushes & creeks to give you the best shots!! More...

There is so many things I could say about Leslie Anne Photofinish! First of all, I was her FIRST destination wedding in Arizona. She arrived on time and was ready to go. She was really flexible with getting our (pre-wedding) photo's done with-out being in the way or being demanding of our time. Looking back on the photographs, I think they are absolutely amazing and she captured so many great moment's. I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone. She is so compassionate about what she does and strives to please you and capture those moments, that you want to look back on forever! Thank you Leslie, so much! More...
