Wait… Who is Leanne Williams?

I’m glad you asked! My partner Whitney and I went to a friend’s wedding as guests and brought a camera along just for fun. We had a blast, but we weren’t trying to be serious photographers. Well, it turns out that we outperformed the pro that our friend had hired. This both pleased and infuriated our friend. She was devastated from not getting her money’s worth out of the pro she hired, but thrilled that we had been there to give her wonderful photos. She told us how much she had paid and we were both blown away. I couldn’t believe that a paid professional, on someone’s most important day of their life, could drop the ball so badly. This was also a sign. Here is something that I had a ton of fun doing and can make a living out of it.

Soon after this, Whitney and I started looking for more photography work and tried a lot of different names. Most of them sounded too formal or too cold. We wanted to have a name that felt close to us, but Tyler & Whitney’s Photography didn’t sound professional enough. Then we decided to use our middle names. William Leanne didn’t seem right, but Leanne Williams sounds wonderful!
