Hi Friend!

My name is Leah. Having been born and raised in Charlotte, I am now a wedding photographer in the Charlotte area. I ultimately fell in love with photography at a very young age. Throughout my youth and adulthood, I have always had a camera in my hand. I studied photography at Anderson University, SC. While there, I learned how to shoot film, and I learned so much about my craft, ultimately confirming that my God-given calling was in the creative field.

I believe that life itself is a gift from God, and all of the emotions and memories that come along with it are beautiful. I strive to create images that reflect those feelings. Heavily inspired by cinema and books, my work strives to tell a story. Each session is a chance to celebrate love and connection and an opportunity for me to make the art I so love. I am honored to be a part of these beautiful stories.

With Love,

Leah

My Approach to Wedding Photography

This job is more than just a career for me—it's a passion, and I believe life is too short not to make it as thoughtful and as joyful as possible. That's why I dedicate myself to thoughtfully planning every detail of each session. I take the time to truly connect with my clients before they ever step in front of my lens, getting to know their personalities, their love stories, and the things that make them themselves. This helps me serve my clients to the fullest possible extent from the very beginning.

A big part of my process includes creating mood boards, sending pre-session questionnaires, and working closely with clients to ensure that their vision is executed to the best of my ability. I aim to make every session feel like the most authentic version of yourself, doing your favorite things while I tag along to document the moments that matter most.

At Fairlight Visual, the values of equality and fairness are first to come to mind. We believe in love and representation for all kinds of people in all walks of life.

What’s in the Name?

We value the use of natural light and the use of color and candid moments in our photographs. We don’t even want you to notice us during your session.

Our photographs have a timeless and classic touch to them that you will want to cherish and hold dear to your heart for years and years to come.
