The name's Leah.
Hey there!
I am the photographer and author behind the Leah Rivera Photography blog. I love to capture the moments that aren’t planned and the deep love you feel for one another. I love couples who couldn’t care less if their feet get a little dirty or if their hair is messed up!
I actively pursue ways to bring joy to every couple I work with. If you’re looking to book a photographer that is just as goofy, fun-loving and all about excellent customer service, then let’s chat today and plan our next adventure together!
