Leana Myra Photography

Leana Myra Photography Wedding photography for fun loving couples who love candid moments and stylish details. I am based on the California Central Coast in San Luis Obispo.

I am a specialist wedding and engagement photographer. My style is light, natural, and focused on capturing candid authentic moments as they happen. I love to give my couple's an ample mixture of honest emotional moments, stylish romantic portraits, and stunning landscapes. I use natural light and realistic editing, as I believe wedding photos should be timeless. I am wedding photojournalist- my i

mages are authentic and unposed. I specialize in vineyard, ranch, winery, and private estate weddings throughout Paso Robles and all of California. My couple's are those that want to capture the real moments and emotions of their wedding day and to show their loved ones how special and amazing their love truly is. They want a relaxed and fun experience and for everyone to have an incredible time. Couple's know that I am invested in them and care about what they value, and that I will be a warm and trusted presence on their wedding day. It's essential my couple's feel comfortable, live fully in the moment and are able to enjoy their wedding without thinking about the camera. With 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I know just how to help you have an incredible experience.

What can I say? I’m great at directing my subjects to capture their best angles.

So word on the street is that sunset photos aren't "cool" anymore. Going out at golden hour for photos is now considered outdated and "old school" and not part of the new trendy photo styles.
Unfortunately I got the memo too late and we went out and created this breathtaking image as the sun set over the vines at Bella Terra.
I guess I'm just not part of the cool club hahaha. That's fine, I'm good with that. call me old school but I'll die on a hill defending sunset photos...bathing in the beautiful glowy light.

Creating a gorgeous story for your day is always one of my favorite parts of a wedding day. Believe it or not, this is actually that hardest part of the entire day for me to do! It takes time, thought, and some planning to pull these together. Sometimes I have even driven to get flowers early in the morning just do I have them on time to start so early. But it's worth it because I Iove being creative.
In a wedding day we use so many skills to create images that really encapsulate an entire wedding , from candid photojournalist to food photography to decor to family portraits. I draw on every skill I have learned form over 25 years of being a photographer.

This incredible bouquet by at Lauren and Michael’s Rincon beach wedding just keeps making me swoon. Florists have so much art in the hands with how they creative these beauties, from choosing the flowers to blending them together and making a perfect balancing act. Never fails to amaze me and I’m such sucker for flowers.

San Marcos Ranch is a family owned picture perfect wedding venue in Paso Robles surrounded by breathtaking scenery and vineyards on all sides. Combine the gorgeous setting with a couple as beautiful and sweet as Karley and Blake, and you have one heck of an amazing engagement session!
We had so much fun exploring the rose garden, barn, streams and pond of the Ranch and dancing in the vibes as the sun set on this perfect spring day. With its white barn, cobblestone steps, trickling waterfalls, and adorable animals, you really can’t ask for more for your wedding day!
Karley and Blake are full of love, cuteness and smiles and it was very hard to only pick a few of their photos to share. I promise more to come, but in the meantime if you are doing an engagement shoot with me, here is some perfect “what to wear” inspo if your couple that loves the country life!

If you are looking for some beautiful shoes for your wedding day photos, these heels are on Amazon for around $200 and are super delicate and look comfortable as well!
I love all kinds of wedding shoes but comfort is so important- by advice is to wear two pairs of shoes. Wear one for your walk down the aisle and photos, and wear another one for comfort and walking through the vines or sand, dancing the night away. Just make sure that they are the same height so your dress doesn’t drag!
A dress change for dancing is also a fantastic and fun idea!

Dear Reader,
Word has it that the wedding of Ariana and Julio will be taking place next year at our very own Paso Robles Palace, otherwise known as the Allegretto Resort and Vineyard.
What will the bride be wearing you ask? I don’t know how she can possibly top this sublime blue floral French inspired gown that she wore for her gorgeous engagement session.
This is the Couple to watch this season as they clearly have all the fire needed to light up the sky above Paso Robles! Stay tuned for their wedding day!
Your very own,
Lady Whistledown

I have a special place in my heart for couples who are bringing together a blended family, because I grew up in one and I know how wonderful it is to see your parents happily married after being alone for some time. These two gorgeous newlyweds and their beautiful children celebrated their love in the sunshine and sand at Rincon Beach Club over the last weekend, and I was lucky enough to be there to capture the day.
Lauren wore a dress with the most exquisite lace and details I have seen in a long time., With a vintage veil in a unique style of Square box lace. She carried delicate and soft white flowers by Twisted Twig and As a sun shown through her hair, she truly looked like a dream. It was clear that michael and his dashing dark blue suit couldn’t take his eyes off her.
They said “I Do” on the sand under a traditional Jewish Hoppa, and there were so many happy tears shed. you could really tell how loved they were by the look on all of their friends and families faces of shared happiness.
They ate and laughed and talked and danced under the beautiful canopy at Rincon Beach Club and dance the night away to the sounds of DJ Patrick. It was such a fun night and I loved getting to know them both. Their photos are so dreamy it’s hard to just post a few!

Raise your hand if you like wedding cake? I have to admit that after all these years of sampling the different flavours, I still love wedding cake. Especially with cream cheese frosting.
Taking a photo of your wedding cake is one of the ones I really look forward to taking.. especially when I found out how much a wedding cake can cost. Hot tip: make sure your wedding cake is placed outside before the sun goes down so we have a chance to capture it in daylight. Ask your planner to set it in an area with good lighting and away from any barn or coloured walls.
They are works of art and that’s the truth- tons of time an effort goes into making them. But I also love non-traditional sweets ideas. I’m still waiting hopefully for someone to do a cheesecake table this year. 🙏

05/20/2024

Hi, I’m Leana! I’ve been a San Luis Obispo wedding photographer for 15 years and there is nothing I love more than capturing these incredible moments in your life. When you trust me with your best day ever, in return I strive to give you your memories to keep for all time in a beautiful, artistic, and flattering way you will love.
I’m a mother of two, live in a little beach cottage where I can hear the sea lions at night, have two cats I spoil like crazy, and I love to shop the latest clothing fashions, read books, and travel the world. I am obsessed with anything European especially French.
I’m a die hard romantic and love florals, feminine elegance, classic with a touch of modern luxury. My favorite images to capture at weddings are gorgeous bridal photos and candid moments of you and guests. I approach each and every wedding I shoot with absolute excitement and my goal is always to create something incredibly beautiful and storytelling. I see wedding photography as a blend of fine art and photojournalism, with a dash of fashion photography too.
If you would like to chat about me shooting your wedding, reach out! I’m so excited to hear all about your day and your love story.
