My name is Leah & I am 28, a stress eater, but I live in the gym so it balances it all out 🥴
But most importantly I am a photographer & videographer who misses just going out & taking photos & filming for fun!
It feels like since last October I have been hitting the ground running without a break & if you know me I haven't ran since my first two years of college so your girl is exhausted 😩
As of today I decide to go out & create something for fun & I encourage anyone who has read this far to do the same! I don't know what that is for you but take the time to do whatever it is that brings you peace during these uncertain times…sounds real Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 1 but humor is the only way I know how to cope lol

If I’m being honest, there’s not a day that goes by that I’d call “easy”, but I love filmmaking more than Italian food! I LOVE Italian food! And if I’m being REALLY honest, I probably couldn’t live without either one! How about you?

Need help creating a guest list?
I have four tips to consider while narrowing down your guest list!
1. Reach out to Relatives
Your immediate families are givens, &, usually, so are your aunts, uncles, first cousins, & grandparents. As you branch out on the family tree, remember that the more you invite from one limb, the farther you'll need to extend your list.
2. Inviting Friends
Most couples can't afford to invite every friend on Facebook, so start by filling your list with your nearest & dearest. Then, as you work down your contact list, ask yourself if you can see having dinner with each person during the year. If you can say you would, then put them on your A-list. But if you can't place them on the B-list.
3. Picking Co-Workers
The same rules apply here: The more people you include, the more you'll need to add. So extend the invitation to everyone in your department or to no one except for the people you actually spend time with outside of the office.
4. Kids & Plus-Ones
Having children at your wedding is both a practical & personal choice. In some cases an event isn't ideal for the kids! Black-tie or late-night affairs probably won't be kid friendly. But if you want to include the kids then set parameters for what kids can make the cut like nieces & nephews or the flower girls & ring bearing boys!
Deciding whether to allow guests to bring dates is a gray area. If an invitee won't know many people, it's nice to come with a companion. But it also means there will be people you've never met at your wedding and you'll be paying for their dinner & drinks. If your budget allows it, go ahead. Otherwise set parameters: If your friends are engaged or in a serious relationship, let them bring their partners.
If you need more help click the link in my bio & download my free "Creating a Guest List" worksheet for weeding out the undesirables! Jk. They're desired! Just not on your wedding day 😬

Can I make a confession?
I’m desperately trying to live out my dreams in a way that would make my 25-year-old self more psyched to be a full fledge adult than the 26 year who couldn't find a job after college & lost all hope!
I hope I’m making her proud!
What did you want to do when you were a or like me at 25 finally figuring it out?! 🥴

They say a rising tide raises all ships.
Today, I’m especially thankful for my “rising tide”: my Accounting & Financial Reporting Professor.
I know I have talked about him before but hindsight is 20/20 & I just remember sitting in his class, always in the back, dress in sweats with my slides on after most likely coming back from a workout at the gym & every day before he started class he would look around the room saying "I see a lot of business owners in here today!'
& I was just like to myself "Brooooooo I have never had a desire to be a business owner. I am not a risk taker. I won't even flirt for fear of rejection, but appreciate the kind words.
Fast-forward three years & I am taking risk every day. Seeking out opportunities to be uncomfortable because the next time around I won't be as uncomfortable.
I would have never dreamed of being a filmmaker/photographer. Working multiple jobs & forsaking naps or spending extra money on gear rather than clothes to make my dreams a reality.
Whether in life or business, when we help each other instead of tearing at weaknesses, it makes a world of difference.
Who has been the rising tide for your ship?
Not going to lie these post are deeper than poetry lately! Lol

Alpha Artistry was created out of a NEED….not dire but essential so just stay with me here! 😩
I saw a need for unique wedding films that creatively expressed the couples in front of the camera, so I filled the gap by using my unconventional approach of filming those moments when you think the camera is off! Listening & hearing what couples want & not what will make a film go viral or amass 2 million views on YouTube.
It's their memories 💕
I just have the pleasure of capturing it & telling a story with those memories!
Being a wedding filmmaker isn’t always easy, (literally in the middle of closing walls like Luke Skywalker & Han Solo in Episode IV trying to tell this story of one of my couples from November) but when I think back to the early days, I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
If you are tired of wedding films that remind you of the Jurassic Park film franchise, you know same plot, different year & a new generation of kids stuck at a theme park or an LA home please don’t hesitate to comment below or DM me!
I’d be honored to help you & just talk about why you thought it was a great idea to name your dog Greg!
It's okay! I will name my Golden-doodle Manny one day! Manny Machado the baseball player if you were curios 😉

Do you have a hobby?
Most days, you’ll find me taking 20 minute naps after I read mental health books & mindset Podcast! 😬
Now what do I mean by mental health books or mindset Podcast? 🤔
Like mental health of here’s 10 signs you are dating a psychopath or pure motivational speeches with classical music in the background? 🧐🧐
Surprisedly I keep the psych stuff delegated to my Podcast & the motivational speeches for YouTube videos but for the past year I have really invested into books like Atomic Habits & Podcast like the Mindset Mentor.
You are a reflection of what you read & listen to daily!
So if I want to be successful & as lean 💪🏾 as I was in college I have to build these atomic habits one day at a time & practice positive self-talk.
So, the more I read & listen to these Podcast while I stock shelves at my part-time job in the morning the the more positive & motive I am for the day & hopeful for the future.
So what books & podcast are you listening to in 2022?

One of my goals for this year was to take my talents to YouTube by creating content that helps Brides plan for their wedding.
One day I want to Elope!
Although Elopements are cheaper than your average weddings they are still expensive & I would want to create a realistic budget that pays for all the things I really want & exclude all the things I don't need.
For the past two months I have been researching, interviewing vendors in the area, asking past brides for advice to bring you a YouTube playlist that helps you pay for your dream without taking out a loan, maxing out a credit card, or selling crypto illegally. 🥴
So if you are newly engaged or know someone who said yes then share this post with them & have them check out the blog post & if they hate reading & love visuals & curious about my personality the YouTube video is linked in my bio!

What’s your mantra this week?
For me, this week is all about...eat food at home. No seriously this has been a serious issue since I graduated college & I would have love to get a playlist of how many times I visited Slim-chickens when I was faced with the slightest inconvenience.
So between keeping that in mind and making protein waffles in the morning, I’m unstoppable!
Tell me, what’s your mantra?
It's cool if it's Chipotle!

Wanna know something?
Although I am goofy & have the best jokes 🥴...just keeping it 💯...I can be really sappy, so here is a sappy post for the new year! 🤗
There are moments in life when you need people who push, pull, and believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself.
I'm blessed to have this community of like-minded people to share the ups and downs with.
From fellow photographers, filmmakers, & business owners I love you more than a Krabby Patty I will never get to try & eat!
Thank you for filling in my gaps and helping me bring a new dream to life.
What are you grateful for today?
I like turtles 💀😂

Here’s a quick reminder for us both: If I’m comfortable, I’m not growing. Sometimes this is easier said than done, since my comfort zone feels like my weighted baby Yoda blanket. Nevertheless, here’s to never getting comfortable, friends! What’s your mantra for the day?

What’s your workday playlist?
I’m listening to Apple's "Deep Focus" playlist while I edit some wedding films & photos, which means the TV volume is above 15.
My poor parents 🥴…
Anyway, what are you listening to? I need some new tunes!
Don’t ask me what I was looking at in the second picture…okay you can ask me what I was looking at 🥴

THIS is my favorite place to hide away when life gets busy or I need a second to breathe.
I am so thankful for my time at UTC because I wouldn’t have experienced the serenity of the great outdoors with amazing human beings!
Hikes back at my second home always clears my mind & gives me peace.
What about you, friend?

Who wants gossip?!
This is so juicy, it took me from sitting calmly at my desk to a ‘90s dance party in my room.
Complete sarcasm with that but excitement nonetheless!
You probably know I am a wedding filmmaker & photographer... but do you know what happened when I worked with Briana & Dre back in the winter of 2020 for the first time...yeah before the Lord Voldemort of viruses plagued our world. I’m going to go ahead and let them tell you, because this review is everything!
"Leah was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! She took her time to learn Dre and I! She captured all of our love! I can’t thank you enough for everything. You are truly special and your passion for photography and videography shows in every picture! Just love you!!!"
Now, what can I do for YOU?

Happy Tuesday! In case you’re having a rough day, just remember: Michael Jordan was cut from the high school basketball team and it took Thomas Edison over 1,000 attempts to finally arrive at the invention of the light bulb. SURELY then, we can handle a regular Tuesday of wedding planning! Using only emojis, describe how your day is going 😬

Are you having a hard time breaking down your wedding budget? Don’t worry, I’ve got some helpful advice (& graph for my visual people out there) on exactly how break down the budget on follow these general guidelines that can be customized at any time!
40% - Food (This will be your biggest expense, so I hope the food is straight fire 🔥 quite literally & figuratively)
10-15% - Reception, Venue, & Rentals (This expense can get quite expensive depending on where you get married, what season, & even the day & time. So if you are looking to save money you can always get married on a Tuesday in February! No shame. Save money, live better, WAL-MART 😬)
12% - Photography & Videography (Great photos are a must & although wedding videography is an extra expense that some couples forgo they always regret not having an amazing film to watch & show their kids someday)
10% - Fashion (Dress, veil, shoes, MUA, & grooms head-to-toe look falls into this category)
6-12% - Music (It's a Party in the USA, q the DJ)
5-8% - Flowers (Bouquets & bomb centerpieces & arrangements for the reception)
3-5% - Stationery (It's 2021...think we can go digital, but this is your life I am just giving advice)
2% - Transportation (Shuttles if your reception is not at the same venue as the ceremony, for out of town guest, or a limo ride from the hotel to the venue is always nice)
1-5% - Misc. (If you don't know where it fits in the pie chart than it will most likely fit here)
Swipe through to screenshot the graph or save this post for future reference! Let me know if you’d like to hear more tips like this in the future!

Isn’t life an adventure? I remember back in college when I took this class called "Accounting & Financial Reporting" where I had the most encouraging, warm, bubbly, sunshine on a gloomy day adjunct professor from Georgia who constantly told us everyday he saw business owners in the room. Always felt that was a bit of a stretch & literally the last thing I wanted to do when I graduated college. Honestly, I knew in high school I never wanted to be an entrepreneur or take risk & start a business.
If someone would’ve told me I’d be an owner of a wedding films & photography company 4 years later, I wouldn’t believe it. It’s nice to know that reality can be far greater than your wildest dreams!
Could you have predicted where you’d end up today?

Current app obsession: The Fabulous App ().
I just can’t get enough of it! So I have ADD with a dash of forgetfulness, so I have good intentions to read saved inspirational quotes & or watch motivational YouTube videos when I need a kick in the pants!
But what better way to stay motivated & focused throughout the day then an app notification with daily pledges, a British telling you to focus in your earbuds, & Icelandic waterfalls when you open the app!
What’s your current obsession?

Have you ever thought about how a click of a camera button has the ability to capture a moment in time? Pretty amazing! There are many once-in-a-lifetime memories that I love to reminisce looking through old photos, like my first time visiting Disney World with my best friends at the prime age of 27 or my first time visiting Utah. Seriously have consider moving there because of the memories I made there! But there are some day-to-day moments that make my heart happy, too, like the progress I have been making in the gym or when I literally gaze at my lightsaber I purchased at Disney Springs! I get a boost of serotonin every single time I tell you! I need to make an effort to take pictures of it so I can cherish the memories forever. What is something that you see everyday that brings you joy?

I’ll be honest… A lot of people think that making six figures would be the best part of what I do. (Side note: haven't reached that milestone just yet) But for me, it’s the early mornings, it’s the late nights, it’s the chance to make a mark in the world, & give couples peace of mind knowing that they can be present during their special day because I am capturing all the feels & tears for them to relive again & again! That’s why I do what I do. I’m lucky to be called a Wedding Filmmaker & Photographer! What’s your favorite title?!

Lemme paint a picture for you for a sec…
Do you struggle with finding wedding videographers whose videos aren’t cookie-cutter? You know the same exact vibe three of your friends on Facebook had for their wedding film?
Ever felt like “I can’t find anything unique or someone who could create a wedding film tailored to me & my fiancé needs”
Does any of these struggles & inner feelings sound familiar?!
Well, I’ve been there too. But as much as I may relate…I’m NOT a fan of leaving you stuck there.
If you’re ready for a tailored wedding film for your unique needs then we need to chat. It’s time for you to step off the struggle bus & take back your life.
You in?!

I started bawling yesterday. Ugly, wet, sappy tears that wouldn’t stop for a solid 20 minutes.
That was a complete over-exaggeration with a taste of fabrication, but reading this review for the first time truly brought a tearful smile to my face & a great feeling in my heart!
“Leah captured our wedding beautifully. words cannot describe just how talented she is behind the camera lens. both me and my husband are so blessed to not only call Leah our videographer but our friend as well! I cannot recommend her enough”
If there was EVER an ultimate example of why my soul lives and breathes for this job, this is it.
Forget about the money. Forget about the notoriety. Forget about follower count. THIS is what matters. THIS is why I stuck with being an entrepreneur! That my work would bring pure joy without any regrets with their hard-earned investment into my services!
My heart is so full, & I’m just left speechless at how the work I’m so blessed to do impacts people so much.
If you wanna feel the same way Kelsey did after she & her husband worked with me, comment below with *emoji* and let’s chat!

If you love tailored weddings films & unique photographs that capture the essence of your relationship throughout the years, you’re my kind of couple!
If your dream excursion looks like off-roading in Little Moab with Polaris RZR & Honda dirt bikes or just being out in nature to decompress, we’re already BFFs!
If you’re obsessed with Game of Thrones before season 8 because we pretend season 8 never happened …ooohhhhh we’re the perfect fit (and also we gotta binge all 7 seasons with Harry & David's assortment popcorn on standby!)
You see, I’m not the wedding videographer/photographer for everyone, & that’s A-okay. Because everyone is different and YOU deserve someone who you 100% jive with!
My clients are memory chasers! They’re the live-for-the-moment kind of people. They care less about material things & more about experiences & making memories that last! They value those moments & experiences so much they want their documents beautifully! Because to them, life is all about the little, magical moments that make up our day to day.
My clients and I have that in common. We want to feel life pulsing through our fingertips. We want to stand on mountaintops and scream for joy at the top of our lungs. We want to live our lives purposefully and fearlessly, being bold and brave in all we do. We want to create a lasting legacy of love in this world that radiates long after we’re gone.
Raise your hand below if this resonated with you. If so, you are my kinda people. Let’s create some magic together. You down?
