Leigh Skaggs Photography

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

Meet Leigh

Meet Leigh

I have been told that my laugh is too loud!   And you know what, it definitely is.  But laughing is one of my favorite things!  As a photographer, I think there is nothing that makes you look more beautiful than an authentic smile on your face.  I strive to make my couples feel so comfortable in front of my lens, that they forget there is a camera pointed at them and instead let their guard down, allowing me to see their real personalities.

I have so much to laugh about!  My teenagers test my limits, but they make me laugh out loud every day!  I have a Daughter and a Son…so I get to experience the wedding day from a unique perspective.  I imagine my Daughter walking down the aisle and I imagine dancing with my Son, during the Mother/Son dance.  So if you see me shed a tear at your wedding, know that it is because I know how important these moments are for you and your Family.

I love our Bulldog…especially because he is obsessed with me and that makes me feel special!! He won’t even take a walk if I am not going! And I am so fortunate that we have Family and Friends that make me throw my head back and laugh loudly every day!

Lastly, I love that I get to do this job, every day! Honored isn’t a big enough word to encompass how I feel when I get to be part of something so amazing. I pride myself on bringing out your true personalities so that your session is like being on a fun adventure with a friend

So if you see me, and I am laughing loudly…join me! I promise you will be glad you did!! Because I have so many things to be thankful for and I would love to capture the things that make you laugh and feel thankful, too!

Just wanted to take a quick second to thank YOU! I Just wanted to take a quick second to thank YOU! I love that I get to take care of people on their best (and worst) days. I love that my kids get to go to work with me and celebrate all of your life’s best moments! So thank you for investing in me and my family, the same way I invest in yours. Nothing gives me more pride than being able to give you the gift of frozen memories, and doing it alongside of two of my favorite people in the world makes it that much better!
