Leslie Dumke Studio

We were lucky and honored to serendipitously meet Leslie the very day we set our wedding date. Before we knew her work, we knew her. Leslie's personal investment in the couples she works with shows in every picture she takes. In the months leading up to our wedding, Leslie took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. She gathered information about all the things we valued: our families, our friends...all the details that shaped our relationship and our wedding. Her masterful blend on emotion, artistry, environment, and light create pictures that will be cherished always.

Leslie was our photographer for our wedding and was just awesome! She was so fun and captured the spirit of our event perfectly. From the pre-wedding photos which were converted into our guest book, to the pre-ceremony events, and right into the ceremony and reception she and her assistant were with us. Our parents and friends all enjoyed working with her, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who enjoys the uniqueness and beauty that a professional like Leslie can provide!

She has a great eye and she is truly a fabulous photographer.

Leslie and her partner did an absolutely amazing job capturing our day. Leslie also kept the entire day running smoothy and helped me keep my sanity. She has been fantastic to work with, even now, a year later, as we put together our album. The only problem is there are too many wonderful pictures from which to choose!

Leslie and her team did an excellent job throughout the engagement, wedding and post wedding process. She made a point to truly connect with my husband and I and we loved getting to know her. Leslie and her team did high quality photography, were warm and kind, and kept me calm and sane on a stressful wedding day. We hope to work with Leslie in the future when we have children for portraits and we highly recommend her to friends and family.

Leslie is not only a gifted photographer, she is a blast! We loved her energy and her humor, and we knew from the moment we met her that she was the right fit for us. Our pictures came out beautifully. We couldn't be happier!

Leslie was great from start to finish.
Very personable! She makes you feel like a FRIEND rather than a client.
All of the guests loved her - she just has a way with people.
All requests for certain portraits - specific shots to get - were met.
She goes above and beyond!

Leslie Dumke really kicked off our wedding planning as she was our first booked vendor and introduced us to our wedding planner. We felt like Leslie was the head of the village that "raised" our wedding if you know what I mean. We were so well taken care of by her. Although she couldn't actually do our photography on the day (note: book very early, she was booked 11 months before our date), she left us in capable hands with her assistant and brought in another very talented photographer on the day. We were thrilled with the photos.

The cost of photography was probably one of the more shocking discoveries in the wedding planning so search around and see what the costs are and then go to Leslie to be taken care of once you've gotten over the shock so you can really appreciate her work.

The good: proofs are 4x6 size and come in books.

The con: I never ordered my album because the proofs were not great. Decided to stick with the 4x6's.
