You didn’t just capture pictures—you captured emotions, love, and one of the most special chapters of our lives so beautifully. Every photo feels so warm, natural, and full of life.

These memories are something we will cherish forever, and I cannot thank you enough for preserving them so perfectly.

“We had such a great experience with our photography and videography team! We worked with two photographers, Evelyn & Geneva, and one videographer, Bogdan. All three were incredibly professional, kind, and patient—especially when it came to wrangling our families for group shots. From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful and organized. We had initial and week-of calls with Evelyn and Bogdan, which helped align our vision and made us feel confident going into the day. We sent Evelyn ideas and poses we liked beforehand, and she was able to recreate many of them throughout the day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we’re so excited to see our wedding video as well!!”

I am so glad you are here! Based in Richmond, with a heart for travel. I can always be found snuggling with my dog or planning my next adventure. If I can sneak it in, I am usually curled up in bed with a good book. I am addicted to the smell of peppermint, eucalyptus, and the Avatar ride at Disney World (it smells great). I believe life has so many things to offer and I just want to try it all.

My name is Leander, but most people call me LJ. I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, and I believe that photographs aren't decoration. Your photographs are documentation of a life that's been fully lived. Loving people like Christ, paying attention to what matters to them, and showing up with intention is how I attempt to move through the world.

“When we first booked Living Out Loud Productions for our wedding, we knew we were making the right choice, and four years later, that decision keeps paying off. LJ's communication was straightforward and supportive from day one, making the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, he brought such a positive energy to everything he did, capturing moments that felt genuine and full of joy. His photos turned out exactly how we hoped—sharp, beautiful, and full of life. We've loved working with him so much that we've hired him for every photoshoot since, and he's become a good friend along the way. If you want a photographer who is reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about your day, LJ is your person.”
