Amazing, thank you

Leyla made us feel incredibly relaxed and it was like having a friend I had known for years take the photos for us. The sneak peak the next day was amazing and we just love our gallery. Thank you

Completely faultless!!

We could not recommend Leyla enough, from booking to getting the photos back she has been amazing! We first booked Leyla in August for our 6-month turnaround wedding and from our first pre-wedding shoot and meeting Leyla we knew from how at ease she made us that we had made the right choice! Fast forward to the lead up to the wedding, Leyla was always open to any questions or able to give us any advice or things to consider. On the day, Leyla was absolutely amazing and we really couldn’t have asked for anything more, on the day and after the event we had many of our guests commenting on how amazing and friendly our photographer had been! To wake up to see some sneak peeks the next day was amazing and just made us even more excited for our complete album to be ready. Upon receiving our pictures, we spent the evening smiling and laughing as we reminisced all the special moments that Leyla had seamlessly caught. I really cannot recommend Leyla enough to anyone. Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special and memorable!

We had the pleasure of working with Leyla (The Story of You) for our small, intimate autumn wedding in 2021, and we simply cannot recommend her highly enough! From the initial consultation to the delivery for our stunning photographs, the entire process was seamless, professional, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Leyla has an incredible eye for detail, capturing the essence and beauty of our special day with a style that perfectly matched our vision. The autumn colours and natural surroundings were expertly incorporated into our photos, creating a breathtaking visual narrative that we will cherish for years to come.

What genuinely sets Leyla apart is her warmth, flexibility, and commitment to exceeding expectations. She made us feel completely at ease, effortlessly blending into our celebration whilst capturing candid moments and ensuring that all our loved ones were included in the photos. Her turnaround time was remarkable, providing us with a sneak peek of our photographs within days of the event and out full gallery soon after

If you are in search of a talented wedding photographer who goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service, look no further than Leyla at The Story of You. We feel truly fortunate to have had her capture our special day, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any couple searching for a photographer to immortalise their wedding memories.

Thank you Leyla, for making our wedding day even more magical and providing us with photos that we will treasure for a lifetime!
