“If you happen to be in any of the Hawaiian islands, or New York, and you want to capture yourself in a life changing way... do yourself a favour and contact Desiree Leilani. She is BEYOND talented, so professional, and very personable. She has a very calming presence while also being so supportive. We eloped so we were extremely nervous and alone on our special day, and im so thankful for everything she did for us from zipping up my gown, to telling me i looked amazing while i was walking down the aisle alone. I had a vision of how i wanted our day to be captured, to be immortalized in a very timeless, and romantic way... while also being natural and true to us as a couple. She was conscious of absolutely little every detail. It was like she read my mind and added her brilliant twist to it. She was so professional in responding to my many many emails promptly, addressing every single question i had, with thoughtful insight. While shooting our wedding day she remembered every little detail i wanted to include in every photo. She took so many pictures while we weren’t looking and weren’t posing which ended up being some of our favourite moments from the day, and we are so grateful she did that. She was very accommodating traveling to our island, and even saved us money in the cost of the travel. She spent way more time with us than she was obligated to. She magically finished the last 15 minutes of our shoot after i passed out from heat exhaustion. She sent us much appreciated sneak peeks the next day. She sent us twice as many photos as we were expecting... and had them all ready in half the time we were expecting. She is honestly a master of her craft. Her work speaks volumes as to how much she is absolutely adores what she does. The photography was sooo so so important to us, and her work exceeded our most hopeful expectations. When we look at our pictures it still brings us to tears, and when we show people our pictures they always comment on how perfect the photography is and tell us it belongs in a magazine. We could not have found a better photographer to invest in and trust to capture the most special day of our lives. She honestly made us, and the whole day look a million times better than we ever could have possibly imagined. She made us look, and feel, like a piece of art, and we are forever grateful. She is truly a visionary artist. And in addition to all of that, she’s also an extremely down to earth, beautiful human being. Choose Desiree, it will change your life forever.”
