About The Polished Portrait

The Polished Portrait

Wedding Photographer

I'm a full time wedding photographer based out of Middletown, NY and over the past 10+ years I've photographed over 350 weddings. My style is very relaxed with an emphasis on natural and organic posing ideas which don't feel awkward or weird while keeping the photography experience really fun.

I give loads of direction for any couple that needs a little help. Not everyone is a pro model, so I give lots of ideas and help so you feel in control and confident. I'm also a very fast worker on the wedding day. I understand taking photos isn't everyone's fav so I work quickly but without ever missing important moments and without compromising on quality and a variety of looks.

Amazing photographer!!

The Polished Portrait was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick and efficient, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of the wedding, Leo was an absolute professional - he made sure to capture every special moment, following our shot list while also adding his own creative flair. The quality of the photos is amazing, and we received the full gallery in record time. The Polished Portrait provided incredible value and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they helped create for our wedding day.
10/10!

Working with Leo for our wedding was the absolute best decision we made!! He is so professional, incredibly responsive to any emails or questions, and beautifully captured all of the details of our wedding day. The photos are absolutely stunning and he delivered them so quickly. You can tell he truly cares about his clients. He is THE BEST!

The Polished Portrait was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very start, Leo and his team were prompt, friendly, and efficient in their communication, making the entire process seamless and reliable. Their work is truly dreamy and romantic, capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day in a way that is simply perfect. Leo was a wonderful resource and guide to us throughout the wedding planning process, in addition to producing absolutely stunning results. Don't hesitate to hire The Polished Portrait - they are the best of the best and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've created for us.

From our very first interaction with The Polished Portrait, we were impressed by his transparent, clear, and helpful communication style. Leo proved to be highly professional, providing work that was above average and truly the best we could have hoped for. Leo had brilliant ideas and worked tirelessly to capture quality candid moments throughout our wedding day. His quick turnaround was amazing - we were able to receive our wedding pictures while we were still on our honeymoon! We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend The Polished Portrait to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

10 years full time, at least 30 weddings a year, every year.

My style is very relaxed and chill but I'm also here to give as much guidance as the couple would like. I have experience with hundreds of weddings and I'd say my speciality is posing people that are nervous about being in front of a camera all day. I keep things super easy and natural so photos fly by and the experience is actually fun. I'm also a pretty quick worker on the photo side of things while not missing any important moments and getting lots of variety.

My editing style is whatever you guys prefer. You let me know what you like but also what you find corny and weird and we will avoid that. In other words, I'm very flexible.

Yes I do. I have over 100 reviews on-line on various sites if you look up: the polished portrait reviews and which I invite you to take a look at to get a sense of what people think of me after I've photographed their wedding.

After a phone call, if a couple would like to move forward with me I will draft up a wedding photo contract. If everything is acceptable, we can move to the next step and booking is done with a signed contract and 50% the cost of the wedding photography as the retainer. The remaining balance is due on the wedding day. I accept Venmo, Chase quickpay/Zelle and PayPal.

Absolutely. Every couple I speak to gets help with a detailed wedding day timeline so you know exactly how much time you need to set aside for photography throughout the day. This will help you plan what time hair and makeup should be done and what time the first look will be, etc. I'm here to help and a wedding timeline is second nature to me at this point in my career.

I live in Middletown, NY. If I have to travel more than 90 mins from home, some fees may be imposed. Anything within 60 miles has no extra fees.

Insurance and taxes are included in my pricing. There are no hidden fees whatsoever.
