Wedding and lifestyle photography that feels like Sunday morning — soft, intentional, and full of heart. Based in Minnesota and South Dakota, I document love in its most honest form — not perfectly posed, but deeply lived. My imagery captures the way your child reaches for your hand, the way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching, the quiet in-between moments that say everything. Think: the warmth of a winter morning, the hush of birdsong through an open window, the comfort of being home. Because the most meaningful moments aren’t about how it looked — they’re about how it felt.
Photography that feels like Sunday morning— soulful, romantic, and deeply felt.
Rooted in the Midwest, Inspired by Connection — Meet Sydney Leigh, Owner & Founder
I’ve never encountered the same love twice — and that’s exactly what draws me in. Each connection, each couple, each story holds something beautifully its own. That’s why I photograph romance the way it’s meant to be felt: with a mix of timeless elegance and playful warmth.
I grew up on a small Minnesota farm and still live just a short drive from where my roots were planted — but my heart is always open to new places and people. Whether I’m documenting your story close to home or across the country, I pour my heart and soul into every frame. Because to me, photography isn’t just art — it’s preserving the way you love, exactly as it is.
“Sydney completely blew us away. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. Her communication was amazing, and she kept everything running smoothly. We got nearly 80 sneak peeks within 48 hours — I couldn’t believe it! Her talent, kindness, and eye for love are unmatched. Booking Sydney was the best decision, and I truly feel like I gained a friend.”

"Sydney left us in awe! From start to finish, she made us feel so comfortable and captured real, genuine moments between us — even though we’re not usually photogenic. She was quick, fun, and kept us laughing the whole time. Her bright personality and clear passion were the cherry on top. Her work is beautiful, she responds quickly, and she’s incredibly creative. We’d go to her 10x over and will forever recommend her!"

"We booked Sydney for our wedding photos and she went 100% above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. If I could give her 1,000/10, I would. We were so comfortable in front of the camera, and she was prompting us and playing games to make it easy on us. Not to mention the pictures are freaking amazing. Magazine worthy!"

"When showing up to our session, we were very nervous and awkward. She made both of those feelings completely go away! She creates a supportive environment hyping each person up and makes sure you are having fun to get some timeless photos! She is very kind and has fast returns on photos! I recommend her to everyone because she leaves you speechless and amazed with her work!"

"Working with Sydney was an absolute dream! She’s creative, kind, easygoing, and the ultimate hype woman. The session felt natural and fun, and her prompts made it so easy to capture the candids we love. Even my husband — who doesn’t usually enjoy photos — said he had a great time! From booking to gallery delivery, she was professional, thoughtful, and so talented. We’re completely obsessed with our photos!"
