My approach
Many people comment on my constant smile at weddings, and that's because I sincerely love what I do. The most rewarding part of my job is receiving heartfelt messages from clients!
My passion for photography started when my grandfather gave me a vintage film camera while I was studying art in London. This led me to switch majors to photography and travel through Europe and Asia with a camera in hand.
After graduating, I worked at a fashion studio in the UK, which helped me build confidence and communication skills. In 2006, I launched Leigh Hayward Photography in the US.
Today with over 24 years of professional experience, I excel in making clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can confidently count on me to pose and direct you, as well as capture all of the candid and intimate moments of your wedding day.
I’ve been photographing weddings and love stories for over 24 years now, not just in Charleston, SC but all around the world. Love has no border limits, why should my photography?
From big, tented parties to intimate candlelit receptions. As long as I feel the connection and passion you share with your partner, I'm in!
