What can you expect if you hire The Polished Portrait to capture your wedding photos?
Our goal is to make the entire process easy, provide meaningful suggestions based on our experience and assure the day runs as smoothly as possible. Leo and his team are very friendly. They will always be easy to get along with and work tirelessly to make sure your photos are wedding-day perfect!
What can you expect from The Polished Portrait on your big day?
We move pretty fast! We realize photos aren’t the most favorite part for a bridal party or a big family group so we make quick work of all the essential photos while keeping it fun and still delivering beautiful results.
We also like to blend in on the wedding day as much as possible. We don’t like to be the center of attention during any part of your big day so you won’t see us near you while you exchange rings or block the view of your family and friends during your first kiss. We shoot carefully and discreetly.
You can also expect as much or little direction as you’d like with posing. Not all of us are professional models, so we’ve got you covered with a million looks and ideas that are easy, natural or as GQ and Vanity Fair as you’d like!

We can't thank Leo enough for all the work he put into capturing our wedding day! My partner and I are both camera shy and not used to being the center of attention, but Leo truly put us at ease and made us feel comfortable. We did an engagement photoshoot with him to test the waters of what it would be like to be professionally photographed and Leo made it such a fun, easy-going experience that we left feeling excited for our wedding day! Leo knows how to actively listen but he is also able to give clear and concise direction at a moment's notice. He is incredibly detailed oriented and super mindful when taking photos. He an expert at being able to blend into the background to capture moments afar. His vision for photos for my flat lay and around the grounds of the venue (The Garrison) were spectacular and breathtaking. We're so happy we found Leo for our wedding photos and would absolutely recommend his services to our friends and family.
Thanks again Leo,

Leo did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. From the smallest, most thoughtful details to the larger group shots and candid in-between moments, his photos have truly taken our breath away. We would highly recommend Leo to any couple considering a wedding photographer (and based on the experience, he would no doubt be great in other settings, too). He was very accommodating throughout the day, and his suggestions for photos were creative, meaningful, and spot on. He had a great vibe and guided us through our shot list with ease, which made everything feel natural and enjoyable. Every time we go through the gallery, we discover new favorites. And more than a few tears (the happy kind!) have been shed by us and our loved ones as we relive the day through the many settings and perspectives captured. Leo has given us a priceless gift: the ability to return to the joy, love, and beauty of that day again and again. We’re so grateful!

Leo is the absolute best!! He is professional, kind, responsive, and calm-- all the best qualities you could have in a wedding photographer! It poured all day on our wedding day, but Leo didn't let this get in the way of capturing the most beautiful photos of our special day-- you couldn't even tell it was raining in the photos we got back from him! He kept the day moving along from a timeline perspective, but we never felt rushed by him. We also got our photos back in less than a week which was incredible! We also loved the photos we got from our engagement shoot! We are so grateful for his talent and I cannot recommend him enough!!
