This Ain't Your Grandma's Wedding Photography. Welcome to E. Leigh Photography.

We're not ordinary wedding photographers. We are awesomer.

Yes, we know that's not a word. And we don't care. We might love our cameras more than we love each other (just kidding! kind of.) NYC is our home base but we have been known to travel far and wide in search of the perfect taco.

We both like to cook, but nobody likes to do the dishes. We've been married for a little over a year, share an office, and still love to spend time together.

We can't wait to hang out with you and hear all about your wedding. Get in touch!

We are Mat and Erin and we love to tell love stories.

What we mean by “This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Wedding Photography”

January 26, 2011

wedding photographers nyc philly 01 What we mean by This Aint Your Grandmas Wedding Photography

I remember the first time I saw my grandmother’s beautifully bound white leather wedding album. I pored over pictures of her getting ready, adjusting her beautiful satin veil in the mirror and touching up her lipstick. I tried to imagine my wedding day and hoped I would look that good. She was so polished, so serene. I remember telling her how beautiful she looked and how much I loved those pictures. But those were all faked, she said. We did them the day before the actual wedding. I was more than a little disappointed. They were still beautiful of course, but the story wasn’t nearly as good. And to us, story is everything.

Weddings might all seem the same if you look at the events, but if you dig a little down you’ll find the emotions and nuances that make up each couple’s wonderful love story. Those are what we aim to capture. Not what we think should be happening or how we think you should be feeling, but HOW you actually felt. Your wedding day goes by so fast that you will likely not remember most of it and when you look back at our pictures you will see every emotion reflected in your face. Not fake emotions, but real ones. We will always tell your story true.

So when we say this ain’t your grandma’s wedding photography we mean this. We will never ask you to fake or mask an emotion. We will not insert ourselves into your story. Besides your spouse, we are the people who you will spend the most time with on your wedding day. We are not slaves to a perfect, mythical timeline. We want to have fun, and want that for you too! You are not a square peg and we are not a round hole. We go with the flow and adapt to you, not the other way around. We promise to be on the lookout for those amazing moments that tell your love story.

Because if the story of your life is what you leave behind, shouldn’t it be true?
