course

Join me for an immersive 8-week course designed to elevate your craft and attract high-end clients.

Are You Ready to Stand Out in a Crowded Market?

You're talented behind the camera, but something's holding you back. I see photographers like you struggling with:

Competing in a saturated market where everyone seems to offer the same thing.

Attracting luxury clients who value artistry and are willing to invest in quality.

Creating a signature style that rises above the sea of trendy filters and presets.

Charging what you're worth without feeling guilty or scared of losing bookings.

Managing high-end weddings with confidence and professionalism.

Building a portfolio that speaks to the right clients and gets featured in publications

If any of these resonate with you, you're in the right place.

I've helped hundreds of photographers transform their business from getting lost in the crowd to becoming their region's most sought-after wedding photographer.

Hello lovely,
I'm Leah Richards

With over a decade of experience capturing California's most exclusive weddings, my work has been featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Style Me Pretty.

I've photographed celebrations from Napa Valley vineyards to coastal Santa Barbara estates, developing a signature style that blends editorial elegance with genuine emotion.

As an educator, I've mentored over 200 photographers through workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions across the United States. My teaching approach combines technical expertise with authentic business guidance, helping photographers not just improve their craft, but build thriving businesses. Former students have gone on to shoot destination weddings worldwide and have been featured in leading bridal publications.
