About The Polished Portrait

The Polished Portrait

Wedding Photographer

I'm a full time wedding photographer based out of Middletown, NY and over the past 10+ years I've photographed over 350 weddings. My style is very relaxed with an emphasis on natural and organic posing ideas which don't feel awkward or weird while keeping the photography experience really fun.

I give loads of direction for any couple that needs a little help. Not everyone is a pro model, so I give lots of ideas and help so you feel in control and confident. I'm also a very fast worker on the wedding day. I understand taking photos isn't everyone's fav so I work quickly but without ever missing important moments and without compromising on quality and a variety of looks.

    Leo was incredible! We absolutely love our photos.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Leo! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, he was absolutely fantastic and delivered the high quality beautiful results we had hoped for. During our engagement session, Leo made us feel at ease and captured amazing photos that we were very excited to use on our wedding website and as printed decor at the celebration itself. Leo brought great energy and professionalism to our wedding day. He was respectful, fun, and upbeat—which helped bring out authentic smiles from us and our guests. His attention to detail was incredible, and his use of two cameras made him super versatile with no downtime for lens changes. Along with incredible shots and speedy delivery of the results, what also set Leo apart was his communication. Of all our vendors, he was hands-down the most responsive, thorough, and helpful. He took the time to go over our timeline in detail, offered thoughtful input, and always responded quickly to our (many!) questions. We felt fully supported throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful to have had Leo as our photographer!

    The Polished Portrait is incredible!

    Working with The Polished Portrait was an absolute delight from start to finish. They were calming, supportive, kind, understanding, and flexible throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value they provided was exceptional - Leo, our lead photographer, was efficient, organized, and truly gifted at capturing the beauty of our special day. Leo has a seasoned eye for detail and was able to get all the shots we wanted while keeping the day on schedule. We felt so lucky to have him and his team there to document our wedding, and we highly recommend The Polished Portrait to anyone looking for a talented and professional photography team!

    September wedding

    Leo was an absolute dream to work with! He did both our engagement and wedding photos, and we could not have been happier with the results. Leo made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and was so efficient. We got our photos so quickly, we were thrilled.

    Amazing photographer!!

    The Polished Portrait was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick and efficient, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of the wedding, Leo was an absolute professional - he made sure to capture every special moment, following our shot list while also adding his own creative flair. The quality of the photos is amazing, and we received the full gallery in record time. The Polished Portrait provided incredible value and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they helped create for our wedding day.

10 years full time, at least 30 weddings a year, every year.
My style is very relaxed and chill but I'm also here to give as much guidance as the couple would like. I have experience with hundreds of weddings and I'd say my speciality is posing people that are nervous about being in front of a camera all day. I keep things super easy and natural so photos fly by and the experience is actually fun. I'm also a pretty quick worker on the photo side of things while not missing any important moments and getting lots of variety.
My editing style is whatever you guys prefer. You let me know what you like but also what you find corny and weird and we will avoid that. In other words, I'm very flexible.
Yes I do. I have over 100 reviews on-line on various sites if you look up: the polished portrait reviews and which I invite you to take a look at to get a sense of what people think of me after I've photographed their wedding.
After a phone call, if a couple would like to move forward with me I will draft up a wedding photo contract. If everything is acceptable, we can move to the next step and booking is done with a signed contract and 50% the cost of the wedding photography as the retainer. The remaining balance is due on the wedding day. I accept Venmo, Chase quickpay/Zelle and PayPal.
Absolutely. Every couple I speak to gets help with a detailed wedding day timeline so you know exactly how much time you need to set aside for photography throughout the day. This will help you plan what time hair and makeup should be done and what time the first look will be, etc. I'm here to help and a wedding timeline is second nature to me at this point in my career.
I live in Middletown, NY. If I have to travel more than 90 mins from home, some fees may be imposed. Anything within 60 miles has no extra fees.
Insurance and taxes are included in my pricing. There are no hidden fees whatsoever.
