Read What Others Are Saying: “Leah photographed both our engagement session in Philly and our wedding at the Carriage House at Rockwood Park in Wilmington and did an outstanding job at both. From the moment I met Leah, I felt at ease because of her friendly, professional manner. She made things comfortable for my husband and I so that each picture looked natural and filled with love. When I saw our first picture from the wedding (during the reception…yes, Leah was able to give us our first view the day of!), I was amazed. She captured moments that were so special and so loving of everyone involved in the wedding. Her work is absolutely beautiful and she takes care in making each picture perfect. She was so prompt in getting our pictures to us and made them so easily accessible for all! I honestly still cannot believe how easy the process was. I find myself smiling, laughing, and crying while I look through the pictures over and over. I would highly recommend Leah Valentine for anyone looking for a professional, artistic, friendly photographer!” – Katie Stewart
