Leigh Skaggs Photography

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

Valerie & Jose | RIU Ocho Rios Jamaica Ocho Rios Jamaica Destination Wedding Photographer

When Valerie & Jose hired me to be their wedding photographer, they initially were going to get married in Virginia Beach.  But as their plans evolved they decided that a destination wedding to RIU Ocho Rios in Jamaica was a better fit for their plans and asked me if I would join them.  I believe “Hell Yes!!!” was my response!!

Jose & Valerie have known one another since they were children.  Jose’s Mother is Valerie’s Godmother!  I love spending time with these two because they laugh so much!  They really get each other and there is so much love between them.  I loved meeting both of their families.  They really made me feel like I was one of the family and it was so nice of them.

Thank you both for choosing me!  It was such a huge honor to be a part of so much LOVE!!  XOXO!!
