Hi! I am Lei! the photographer you didn’t know you needed.
I am your all-in, candid-moment obsessed kind of gal, with one goal in mind-
to provide you with eye-catching images that portray your GENUINE PERSONALITY.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Georgia, drawn to honest moments, timeless style, and the kind of beauty that never feels forced. My work is rooted in connection. I love the quiet glances, the laughter that sneaks in between poses, and the moments that feel small in real time but mean everything years later.
I believe photography should feel like you. Not overly posed. Not performative. Just present, intentional, and true to the way your day actually unfolds.
If you’re curious about what it feels like to work together- how your day is approached, documented, and cared for, I’d love to walk you through the experience.
“Lei has such a special ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of her camera— literally anyone.”-Lynnsie P.
How I Photograph Weddings :
My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye. I’ll guide you when needed, step back when it matters most, and always leave room for the day to breathe. I’m inspired by natural light, movement, and the nostalgic feel of film — images with texture, depth, and soul.
Whether we’re photographing on digital, analog film, or capturing your day on video, my goal is the same: to create images that feel timeless, lived-in, and deeply personal.
A Little More About Us:
I work alongside my husband, bringing photography and videography together seamlessly for couples who want their story preserved in both stillness and motion. Working as a team allows us to move intuitively, stay present, and document your day without disruption — so you can stay focused on what truly matters.
“We have been using Lei for years to capture all of our life’s special moments. We wouldn’t trust anyone else.”
If this feels like the right fit and you’re ready to begin, I’d love to hear about your day and what you’re dreaming up.
The Tea On David & Lei
We care deeply about creating an experience that feels calm, thoughtful, and effortless. From the first conversation to the final delivery, our priority is making sure you feel comfortable, supported, and free to be fully present with the people you love.
These images aren’t just for today. They’re heirlooms - meant to be held, revisited, and passed down. We take that responsibility very seriously.

David and I tied the knot at Cherrywood Ranch in Toccoa, Georgia surronded by our closest friends and family for a long weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Handsdown the best day of our lives! Peep photos from our special day below!

My son may have a different opinion on this, but nonetheless, our kiddos are our entire world! Together, David and I share one son and one daughter. Both of them are charismatic jokesters who light up any room they are in with laughter. Neither of them have an athletic bone in their bodies, but are extremely talented artist who dream of attending SCAD Visual Arts one day.
The apple didn’t fall too far from the tree with these two.

David is a full-time K-9 trainer and competitor, specializing in West German Showline Shepherds. When we are not shooting or editing, we are traveling to world class dog competitions! So far, David’s career has taken us to Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Mexico!
I have learned to always pack a lint roller!

I have always been fascinated with different people and their cultures. I am particularly fond of all things FRENCH. When David and I visit Paris I completely engulf myself in the language, the food, the atmosphere- ALL OF IT. My travels have inspired me and my photography more than anything else. Together we have adapted the European way of life- you work to live, not live to work. If we become friends, you will quickly learn that we are always planning a trip abroad.

2022 was such a monumental year for me. Not only did I go full-time with my photography business, but I also opened the doors to my boudoir studio, Rising Woman Boudoir, located in Gainesville, Georgia.
