Johannesburg Wedding and Portrait Photographer
for adventure couples, individuals and families. across gauteng and south africa.
I'm a professional photographer in Johannesburg with 15+ years experience photographing portraits and weddings. I'm inspired by travel, nature, history and art; fuelled by tea (lots of tea!); and above all: love being able to capture stories through my photography.
Over the last decade plus, I've photographed weddings and portraits across South Africa. My work has been featured locally in the Top Vendor Wedding Awards, and internationally in the Prowed Awards and The Portrait Masters.
My clients are the ones who laugh louder and hug tighter. Who jump in puddles and dance in the rain. Who go adventuring with mud on their boots and "padkos" for the road trip. Who love the rumble of thunderstorms after a hot Highveld summer's day.
Interested in headshots? I promise I won't make you jump in puddles, but I can promise guided posing so you feel comfortable in front of the camera. No need to practice in the mirror beforehand. Less candid, still authentic.
If any of that sounds like you, you're in the right place! I'm so excited you're here and I can't wait to hear from you.

Hey, I'm Leigh

Leigh was an absolute dream to work with! Besides the fact that our photos of our special day came out so gorgeous, she really made everything so easy and natural. Especially for a bride and groom that don’t like being in the spotlight! I couldn’t have dreamed of better memories or anyone better to capture all those special moments of our big day.

We had a great experience working with Leigh! She was professional, friendly, and very responsive from start to finish. During the shoot, our toddler really wasn’t in the mood to cooperate, so I honestly didn’t expect many good photos — but she worked her magic! We were amazed at how many beautiful shots she captured, especially of him. We’re very happy with how all the photos turned out and would definitely recommend her.

Leigh was recommended to me through BNI when I was looking to update my profile photos. In an hour she had me through my outfits and different “looks”...Her attention to detail of position, a hair out of place etc was very good. I was thrilled with the outcome and I have received many compliments since the photos have been in circulation on profiles and social media etc. I can highly recommend Leigh as a portrait photographer.
