i can't go weeks without posting this stunning preview of Lexi + Seth's day, it'd be criminal to do so. the most stunning couple with the most stunning venue + details. lexi + seth got married this past saturday at and words cannot describe how incredible it was. no, like seriously, i've rewrote this description like 3 times 'cause i can't find the words, LOL. but, i'll let the preview speak for itself ✨

newborn sessions have my wholeeeee heart. especially sweet Ella Faith. Ella was such a good sport and slept in mom and dad’s arms pretty much the whole time (except when dad tickled her feet), and it was so wonderful to see one of my couples extend their family. 🥺 sydney and Isaac, you brought a beautiful gift into the world and you guys are absolute rockstars, it’s so incredible to see your family grow with this beautiful baby girl ✨

i’ve been having imposter syndrome because I’m not a photographer that swaddles babes, or poses babes in different positions, and I’m obsessed with those kind of newborn sessions, but I also just feel something so raw and real about just letting baby be. There’s something so cute about the limbs flailing and baby just being a chance to be a baby, and I know that some babies just do not like the be swaddled, and that’s okay! So while I do newborn sessions, know that I don’t swaddle baby up every time, and while I can still spend hours at your session (we’re in babies world, I’m just doing whatever they want and need), I’m not the type to put baby in swaddle and different positions, and I know SO many wonderful photographers who do that so if that’s what you are looking for, I will happily send you their way. I love the raw and real and things to be so candid 🥺 love love love an in home session but also love love love a good newborn studio session 🥺

ashley + nolan's big day last year was one i was not physically there for, but was in total spirit. living their day back while creating this video was so special, their smiles actually could light up an entire room. their beautiful vows, the colors, the way they show their love for one another. they obbbbviously deserve their full video on my timeline cause months later and i'm still obsessed.

if you want to full size this beautiful video, it will also be going live on my youtube! link on my website.

as this season begins, i have found myself reflecting on the past year, and i’ve got to be raw and vulnerable for a minute because i feel that’s a trait i treasure, is being able to be a real person behind the profile and this business.

2023 brought the greatest highs and the biggest pits I’ve ever experienced in my life. my incredible partner and i got our first house together last year, we got a puppy, and this little business i started 5 years ago was flourishing. and i was so happy, ecstatic, everything i’ve been dreaming of came to be in a short time. but as a girl who hates change, it was an overwhelming year. all of these life changes put me into the deepest pit of depression i have ever been in. i was working my butt off to get videos out, sessions, renovate our home, take care of an accident prone puppy who was tons of work, have a social life, see my family, prioritize my relationship, work another job in my off season, and still take care of myself in the middle of that. i truly didn’t know how to handle all of these life changes in a short amount of time. what i found was i just stopped caring about myself. i stopped sleeping, i stopped eating normally, i was quick to anger and had many breakdowns, all the while still putting everyone and everything before myself until i just couldn’t anymore. it took a gigantic toll on myself and those close to me, and it was a huge mess, to put it mildly.

it’s may of 2024 and i’m infinitely in a better place than i was even 6 months ago. our home is beautiful now, my accident prone puppy is still accident prone but pure lover boy now (and actually listens), i have prioritized myself more so that those around me are getting the best version of me, because to be honest, they weren’t at all. this 2023 post comes late because i was in the trennnchhhhessss in january, but truly, i’m so beyond grateful for the most understanding clients, incredibly supportive family and friends, and proud of myself for being able to crawl (cause trust me, it was a crawl at some points) out of the pits i was in. as the 2024 season comes, i’m more than ready to take it head on, and so grateful for what last year taught me 🥺

i've decided that every friday, i'm going to share the most beautiful films from the 2023 season, since i've got SO many to share.

throwback to the most beautiful summer day, sierra + justin. what. a. day. the most wonderful day, with the most kind, genuine, and funny souls i've ever met, truly one of the best days.

there are no words so i'll let the video speak for itself :')

Sierra + Justin has the most elegant and beautiful summer wedding in South West Michigan, with the most perfect weather and beautiful details. These two have...

MY BOOKINGS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR 2025!

I have been silently taking some inquiries as they come (depending on how close they were to my books opening), but now they're officially open and ready to be booked up!

I am only taking on max of 25 weddings, possibly more if there are some in my slower months. This goes for video AND photo for weddings! My new website (coming in the next coming months) will have packages for wedding photo pricing.

My availability for weddings are:

January - April & December
Wide open :)

May
16th, 17th, 23rd, 30th, 31st (inquiry pending)

June
6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st

July
11th, 12th, 18th, 19th (inquiry pending), 25th, 26th

August
1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th

September
5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 27th

October
3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st

November
1st, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 28th, 29th

These dates are all that's open, but those dates will dwindle as some weddings are booked (aka if I have to travel far for a Friday, Saturday will become unavailable, or some dates will become unavailable as the month gets booked). SO book your date ASAP! Remember: a $300 retainer is due at signing of contract, and you must have a retainer paid and signed contract to fully secure your date. Also, I HIGHLY encourage reaching out and asking for a call if you are uncomfortable with just booking on sight, I LOOOVE having conversations to ask questions and getting that one on one contact before booking. This is a humungous decision to make and I don't take that lightly! I'm here to do whatever makes you comfortable, so do not be afraid to put in the inquire note that you'd like to have a chat first! I know how the planning process can be, so we can set that up asap, so you feel more comfortable in booking me :)

Inquire on my website to get the fastest response: https://lindseyleighmedia.com/contact :) Here's my yearly reminder, that I am HORRIBLE at answering Instagram or Facebook DMs. I check them about once a week, sometimes once every 2 weeks. That could mean you inquired first but because I didn't see it, it went to someone else. A lot of DM's get lost in different folders from Instagram and Facebooks vetting system, so I cannot guarantee I'll even see it. You can also email me directly, [email protected], which guarantees a quicker response as well!

As for sessions; my availability is HUGE. Please inquire at the link above to secure a session. I'm LOVING doing more photos and I am taking alllll the sessions I can get. Remember, it's easier to book sooner rather than later for any season, just to make sure I am available! End of summer and fall gets crazy busy, so if you want a spot now, book soon! There's a $50 retainer fee for booking, and a signed contract, and the remaining is due on the date of your session.

I am SO SO SO SO excited for the 2025 season (which is so weird to say since we haven't even touched the 2024 season), and I'm so excited to meet new faces next year! I also cannot wait to show everyone the goodies from the 2023 season. 2023 was so good to me, with the best clients and their most beautiful days.

02/26/2024

carissa + andrew… the books i could write about them. i had the honor of taking their engagement photos back in the fall, and have the honor of photographing and filming (with the help of mia) in October, and i am counting down the days. first of all, andrew took time out of the hunting season (as my fellow hunters wives, you get how big this is) to make his woman happy. the way these two just shine with love for one another, it makes my heart physically hurt. carissa and i hit it off right from the bat, and truly, i cannot wait to celebrate their big day with them. from the jump, these two have felt like we have been friends for years, and i’m just overjoyed for them.

not to mention, LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE TWO ARE!!!!! the sweetest souls who will 100000% be hitting my feed again this fall, and i am so sososososso excited 🥺

CHRISTMAS SALE, THIS WEEK ONLY!!

Details as follows! ❄️

The holidays aka the time to save!

My holiday deal is back this year and better than ever.
This year, you can enjoy savings outside of weddings. From photo sessions, videos sessions, or money off wedding packages.

Here’s the info:

FOR PHOTO AND VIDEO SESSIONS:
Enjoy $100 off your session when you book this week only. This deal is valid for any session in 2024, for 45min-1 hour at location of your choice. That’s 40% off your session! Must book this week and have a contract signed and retainer paid. Retainer will be $50 for session.

FOR WEDDING PACKAGES:
Enjoy $525 off your package when you book your wedding during this week. That’s 15% off your total if you book 8 hours with no add-ons! I will also waive any travel fees. You must inquire this week. Offer will still be valid if you fully book after but MUST be booked in full before the end of January 2024 to get offer. Retainer to save your date is $300.

DISCLAIMERS:
You must fully book your photo/video session by end of this week, or you must fully book your wedding by the end of January 2024 to receive this deal. Any inquiries taken before or after this week will not receive the deal. To be fully booked, you must sign a contract AND pay a retainer. If you do not sign a contract or pay the retainer, you will not be fully booked. This deal will supersede any other deals I have (like the $300 off if you book with my list of photographers, or my “off-season” deal). You will not receive both deals. You will still receive 10% off your wedding package if you pay the full amount in cash.

in my country girl, homesteading era. 🌿

it’s been a dang while since i introduced myself and i’m seeing so many new faces these days. i know i like to stalk and find things out about vendors soooo i’m feeding your guys’ inner stalking.

few “fun” things about me:
• i just turned 26 a few weeks ago, hello libra girlie
• i moved from grand rapids to a small town classified as a village, with with the love of my life. 26 years old and homeowners woooooo
• i have two dogs, tucker and jackson, and they are my whole heart outside of my body. jackson’s a 5 month old golden retriever and tucker’s a 5 year old red lab.
• i am an only child but am gonna be marrying into a giant family, so i suddenly have tons of nieces and nephews and my heart is so happy for it. love being an aunt, it’s my favorite title ever.
• i am a giant reader girl, and recently have taken up crocheting. also, going hand in hand, i’m a giant swiftie, love that girl.
• coffee is my obsession. literally, i get migraines if i don’t have at least one cup a day. some would say it’s an addiction? also, Diet Coke. i’m always strapped with either of them.
• i LOVE to talk. i don’t think i know how to shut the heck up. could be a good trait, could be annoying to some 🤣

fall is in full swing right now and i’m SO busy, but i’m so incredibly content with where i am in my business and life, and can’t wait to meet more people in the next few years in this amazing, crazy business ✨

10/04/2023

baby charleigh graced earthside in september and what a gem she is. so incredibly happy for amanda + cole (and nitro, obviously) for this little blessing. aunt lindsey loves you so much already, girl 🥺 Amanda Wnuk Cole Wnuk

for those who didn't know, i have tons of fall availability for any type of session, photo or video. october is filling up with sessions but november still has tons of room, inquire on my website and select "lifestyle session" for a photo session, or select "promotional video" for a video session and let me know in the description what you're thinking! it could be engagement, just couple, maternity, anything you're thinking!

10/02/2023

yesterday was a dream. stacee + connor have the tradition of getting back in their wedding attire on their anniversary every year, and they gave me the honor of capturing their 2 year. beautiful property and beautiful couple.

Dates for 2024 are filling up fast, but I still have a bunch of dates open!

•January-April has almost wide open availability, with a $300 discount if your wedding falls in that time!
•May; the weekend of the 5th and the weekend of the 25th, are wide open. I do have some Friday availability as well, including the 10th and the 17th, but I’m only taking ONE of those so book fast.
•June; weekend of the 1st has inquiry’s on the 1st itself but nothing concrete, the weekend of the 21st has a pending inquiry in the 21st but still technically open, and the weekend of the 29th is wide open. I can take on weddings on the 7th and the 14th but will also only be taking one of those dates so book quickly.
•July; the weekend of the 4th is open BUT will have a raised price due to it being a holiday weekend, the weekend of the 27th is wide open. Can take on the 19th as well, and there’s a pending inquiry on the 12th. Will take both dates if there is interest!
•August; weekend of the 3rd has an inquiry on the 3rd itself but nothing booked fully, the weekend of the 17th is wide open, and I can take on some Fridays including the 9th and the 23rd. Inquiry’s pending on the 30th and the 31st but not fully booked yet.

I have a TON of pending inquiries, and while I toooootally understand this is a big decision to make, I cannot keep those dates open forever. I am trying to be considerate and reaching out again to make sure, but if I don’t hear back after a week when I reach out, I will be opening dates back up. It wouldn’t be fair to someone who’s very interested in booking me to wait on a “maybe” 🙃 (worst part of my job, I swear).

Please inquire on my website under the “contact” page, via the contact form! 🤍

08/17/2023

The list of my availability is in the second slide. I’m only going to take about 2-3 weddings so hurry and grab this deal before it’s too late. I realized I have some time in my schedule for a few more weddings, and what better than a last minute booking than getting some dollars off.

In honor of their anniversary today, and Tana Cease reminding my forgetful butt that I have never shared their video to YouTube or literally anywhere, I now have the honor of sharing their day A YEAR LATER.

Still one of the best days, with the best people. Montana and Jestin made me and Mia feel like part of the family from the get go (I think Tana and I talked on Facetime for a solid hour and a half during our first meeting 😂). I cherish them and their friendship today and forever.

Happy anniversary, you two beautiful people ❤

Finnnaaalllyyyy posting my availability for 2024!

I have decided that for the 2024 year, I will not be taking any Sunday weddings, unless it’s a super special occasion. This makes my availability a little bit more limited, so if you’re wanting to book with me, book sooner rather than later! Sundays are my day for family and to recoup for the week, and have become more sacred to me as the years have gone on.

Days in pink are unavailable, days in yellow have inquires but no signed contracts or paid deposits. REMINDER: to save your date, a signed contract and $300 retainer is required. If I do not have both, the date is still considered open! Inquiries will also become more strict, if you do not book or express a great interest in booking within 2-3 weeks, I will be considering it wide open again and moving to the next inquiry. I have way too many inquiries for the same date to wait for someone to possibly book.

$300 OFF AUTOMATICALLY when you book, if your wedding falls in January - April, or in December!

I am SO SO SO SO excited for the 2023 and 2024 years, and excited to meet more beautiful people these next coming years :)

TO INQUIRE: please fill out an inquiry form on my website under “contact” for the best way to reach me. I am horrible at checking DM’s or Facebook chats, so that’s the fastest way to get to me and get your date booked!

FOR INQUIRIES OUTSIDE OF WEDDINGS: please send me an email, [email protected] :) I will be taking photo sessions, or other opportunities as they come, this schedule is JUST for weddings. If you’re wanting photos or promotional video, please visit my website under “investment” to get more information on what I offer, and please feel free to reach out with questions!

05/11/2023

My radio silence has been for good reason— been working on some amazing projects with some amazing people! Perfect Circle Recycling has an amazing mission with incredible people behind it 😍

04/02/2023

In celebration of one of my favorite people’s birthday…..

BOOKINGS FOR 2024 ARE NOW OPEN!!!! Book sooner rather than later due to limited availability. I’m only taking on about 20-25 weddings, due to spending more time focused on family and friends, and giving more time to my couples.

Availability to come this weekend, watch out on my stories for open weekends! Inquire on my website via the contact form for a quick response :)

I’m so excited for the 2024 season, I can’t wait to meet new faces and spend my weekends celebrating the start of new chapters :)
