Perfectly imperfect moments?
That’s my
love language!
​I’m your professional third wheel, personal hype woman, and joy-sparking wedding photographer who believes that love should be captured with heart, laughter, and a whole lot of celebration.
​
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love to have fun. I’m all about making you laugh, feel completely at ease, and actually enjoy being in front of the camera (yes, even if you think you’re awkward—I got you!). I bring warmth and calm energy to every part of the experience, so you can feel relaxed and fully yourself while I capture the moments that matter most.
​
Weddings are sacred, exciting, and one of the most beautiful chapters of your life—and I believe that joy shouldn’t just be reserved for the big day. From our very first consultation to the moment you receive your final gallery, I’m here to celebrate with you every step of the way. I’m not just here to show up with a camera—I’m here to make this experience fun, meaningful, and unforgettable.
​
So let’s laugh, dance, and maybe happy cry a little—because your love story deserves nothing less
​
love,
Mariana
ABOUT ME
THE LEON PHOTOGRAPHY HASTINGS
PHOTOGRAPHY + ART DIRECTION
BASED IN ATLANTA + SOUTH FLORIDA
I was born in Miami, FL and my background is Cuban and Puerto rican (Si, Hablo Español). Something interesting about me is that I used to be a Musical Theater/Film & Television actress. I attended three prestigious conservatories for the arts. I began singing at the age of seven. Being a creative has always been a passion of mine at a very young age.

WILL ABSOLUTELY CRY DURING YOUR VOWS — NO SHAME
Not afraid to climb, crawl or hang
for a good shot!
I’ll do anything to get the shot — climb, crawl, get a little dirty, or chase the perfect light if it means capturing the moment exactly how it feels. Because those real, in-between moments — the laughter, the wind in your hair, the way you look at each other — are always worth it.
