Ledd Lens LLC, Photo and Film

5.0

Miami, FL
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $849
  • Serves Council Bluffs, IA

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward.

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

WE ARE BASED IN NYC AND TAKE WEDDING COMISSIONS ALL AROUND THE US AND ABROAD BUT WE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN AND PUERTO RICO MARIA IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL THE IMAGES ARE TAKEN AND EDITED BY HER. RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I don't believe any two weddings should look the same, and strive to honor my couples and their individuality, while leaving myself some room for artistic expression. I don't believe wedding party photos and family photos should take upwards of 3 hours, because this is a day to be with your people in a deeper way than just standing next to them in photos. We will get those photos, I promise, but we will do it efficiently so you can be present in your day, instead of spend your day in a photoshoot.

She stepped right into the flow of things on our wedding day and kept everyone on schedule and in good spirits. The photos came back better than I could've imagined and our guests haven't stopped talking about them.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Marissa was so sweet and captured everything we asked for and more! Neither of us are the “photogenic” type, but she was kind enough to stage us in a way that was comfortable to us, and wasn’t a stickler on the “traditional” marriage poses/photos. She made sure that we did what we wanted.

I am a New England Elopement photographer. As a hopeless romantic, moments of deep connection are my oxygen and I am made of the feels. I live for the unconventional. I will be so much more than your wedding photographer, I will be your guide, your biggest fan, and the curator of your love story— I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens as I listen to your vows. Wanderlust runs through my veins, I have made it my life’s mission to let every place I have ever been touch my heart and change the way I see the world. There is no adventure too wild or out there, the world is our oyster.

Danielle was professional, warm, and knowledgeable. She guided us through every step of our day and weathered through unexpected torrential downpours and hurricane winds all while keeping morale up for the whole wedding party! Danielle took the time to get to know what we wanted and needed from her and her intuition filled in the parts that we didn’t even know we needed.

I’m Erika and I am a self-taught photographer, hiker enthusiast, travel lover and proud dog mama! I started my photography journey at 18 years old. I always loved art, but I never thought this newfound love would lead me down an exciting path where I get to do what I love for a living. Thanks to the trust that my clients put in me, I get to do what I do best — and that’s create.

Erika is wonderful! We are both shy and she made us feel comfortable the entire time, she has the craziest most creative ideas for her pictures and she doesn’t care if she has to go in the woods to get the perfect shot. We highly recommend Light Sky Photography and we will definitely hire Erika again ❤️ Like

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was a God send. She made my day feel so special she was so professional and friendly! She made sure to capture a lot of candid moments for us and the poses she suggested didn’t feel awkward or forced. The angles, the editing and the sheer amount of photos shows how much she made my day a priority. Thank you again!
