you're right where you're meant to be 

you're right where you're meant to be 

est. 2012

I’m Ali Leigh (pronounced lee)!

Based primarily in Minneapolis, Minnesota + bags always packed. I've been photographing weddings for the past 13 years (literally have seen it all, editing and wedding trends really do come and go!) and my approach to photography is rooted in creating timeless images that feel as effortless as they are refined and honest to who you two are as a couple.

You will likely have at least one thought of, "Holyyy cow, this girl is quirky,"  standing in front of my camera. Think Phoebe from Friends, we'll have fun. :) Somehow finding a way to weave all of the different people who've made life as it was for you into a story of your day keeps me inspired year after year.

Beyond photography, you can find me in a sauna, painting with my daughter, exploring a new city, or baking all things sourdough.

Days near water on my paddle board are 100/10.

" She’s so laidback and fun, but can totally handle corralling all the people. Honestly, the perfect photographer personality. "

"She is a true professional: clear, direct, fun, engaged, and wickedly talented. We are going to have to exercise serious self-control when choosing photos to get printed. "

Local travel fees are $25/hour for every 60 min outside of St. Paul. Lodging is required for destinations more than 2 hours one way.

Any drive beyond 6 hours will require a flight, and we're happy to travel! A custom travel quote will be sent based on your location.

We'll send sneaks within 7 days of your wedding and engagement session! Final wedding galleries will be sent to you digitally via an online gallery within 10 weeks. Engagement session galleries will be delivered within 6 weeks. 



You can expect 70-75 photos per hour on average. A typical wedding includes 600-900 edited photos. 

You’re free to print wherever you’d like, or print straight through your gallery. We offer albums, canvases, frames, and other products for family heirlooms or gifts! 


If you’re not able to use your engagement session, we allow couples to trade it for an additional hour of wedding day coverage.

We strongly recommend having one, since it’s an invaluable time getting comfortable with one another. We’re willing to travel for your engagement session if you can’t make it back to MN! This is a fun way to capture your current neighborhood / state to tell more of your life story.


We have a team of 6 highly trained in team members. Chances of one of them being available to step in as a sub are high! If not, we have a very vast network of photographers in Minnesota and will find a replacement photographer, and Ali will still edit the photos. We don't provide any refunds for these very rare situations. Ali has only had this happen one time in over 250 weddings!
