Google reviewers rate Lindsey Leigh Weddings 4.9 out of 5 based on 36 reviews. Clients frequently praise the photographer for making subjects feel comfortable, providing clear direction, and delivering natural, high-quality images for weddings, engagements, and family portraits. Positive feedback also highlights quick communication, flexibility with scheduling changes, and reasonable pricing. One low-star review from an event planner criticized the photographer for unprofessional behavior and a complete refusal to communicate, though this specific complaint stands out against the otherwise consistent praise.

Lindsey is the best photographer I could have asked for! She made everything feel very natural. As someone who doesn’t look forward to picture taking I actually had a lot of fun. The pictures are so beautiful, with great lighting and colors, and really reflect our personalities. So happy and thankful to have had such a skilled photographer!

Lindsey knocked it out of the park for our engagement and wedding photos! I like “real color” photos vs the current trendy sepia tones that a lot of photographers are using currently - I wanted timeless, fresh, and just beautiful photos and oh my gosh did Lindsey deliver! Posing for photos definitely does not come…

Lindsey was professional and friendly, and made us feel comfortable. We don’t love posing for photos but she made it feel natural!
Really enjoyed getting to work with Lindsey. We wanted to have a Folly wedding so it was really exciting to have someone who knows and loves the same space we do. Everyone felt comfortable with her and reviewing all the photos this weekend with my family, my dad said "these are my favorite wedding photos I have seen" (I have two sisters who have been married also ;) haha). Lindsey does beautiful wild life photography too, which is what really attracted me to her site. She's a master at finding light and composition which was key when we wanted to highlight the space we were in as much as the moments that were happening. She's an easy going pro with a great eye.

As a wedding photographer myself for the past 10+ years in Michigan, 20/10 would recommend Lindsey Leigh Weddings. Lindsey is professional and her work is exceptional. The way she captured their wedding days, tells a story from start to finish, capturing the emotions and the atmosphere of the days perfectly. Look, no further, just reach out and book her as soon as you can!
Finding destination wedding vendors is not easy, especially when you yourself have been in the wedding industry for over a decade. Working 10+ years as a photographer, makes you pretty particular. From seeing her past wedding galleries up front and based on our correspondence, I trusted her completely to capture the day just as well as I could. In 2022, one of my sisters had a destination wedding in Charleston, and when my other sister got married this month in Charleston, there was no question in my mind if we should use Lindsey again or not. When I am a guest at weddings, I usually find myself watching other photographers at weddings critiquing their work in my head, or taking notes on things I think they did well to see if it translated in the couples wedding gallery. With Lindsey, I didn't have to do that one bit. My family has joked that we should keep the destination wedding trend in Charleston alive for the next 4 weddings... If we do, you better believe we will be booking with Lindsey Leigh Weddings!!

Lindsey knocked it out of the park for our engagement and wedding photos! I like “real color” photos vs the current trendy sepia tones that a lot of photographers are using currently - I wanted timeless, fresh, and just beautiful photos and oh my gosh did Lindsey deliver! Posing for photos definitely does not come naturally to me, but you would never know this from the results of Lindsey’s work. She’s great at giving direction, working quickly, and adjusting to what you want. I can’t put into words how much these photos mean to us - we will truly cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you!!!!

Lindsey is the absolute BEST!!! We fell in love with how natural & beautiful her work is when looking for our wedding photographer. Lindsey was so calm, professional and very engaging throughout the process on our wedding day. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable when taking pictures not only at our wedding, but also when we hired her to take photos for our Christmas card last year. I cannot wait to have her capture many more special moments!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer, and Lindsey is often my first referral when I can't take an assignment. She's also accompanied me on destination shoots around the country. Her eye for detail and innate sense of timing are impressive. She has intuitive photography skills that go beyond technical know-how and result in truly special images for her clients!

Lindsey has done family portraits for me with small children and she was amazing. My kids were NOT having it, and we were sweaty and tired and I thought there's no way she got anything from that session, but I got back pictures that I will treasure forever. It's like we weren't even at the same photo shoot, she did such an amazing job capturing the hot mess my family was and making it look beautiful. She's also done work through my professional job and we're ecstatic with the results! She has such an artistic eye and can really coordinate directly and effectively to really help subjects feel comfortable and know what to do to make the shot happen. She's fabulous. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!!!
