Hey, my name is Vanessa Lewis
Hi, I’m Vanessa Lewis — the creative eye and heart behind Vanessa Lewis Studio, and co-founder of Leon & Rose Photo & Video, based in North Atlanta. I specialize in wedding, engagement, proposal and event photography that captures your most meaningful moments.
My style blends documentary storytelling with a soft editorial touch, capturing real moments as they unfold — from surprise proposals and engagement sessions, to beautiful weddings and events. I’m passionate about preserving not just how your day looked, but how it felt.
From the excitement of your engagement to the beauty of your wedding day, I love building real relationships with my clients and being there for every chapter of your journey. Starting with your engagement session, I get to know your unique dynamic as a couple — how you laugh together, what makes you feel at ease, and the little details that matter most. This connection helps create a seamless experience when your wedding day arrives, allowing me to capture your love story with even more depth and authenticity.
My clients often say working with me feels easy, natural, and even fun — like having a friend behind the camera who truly gets you. I bring a calm, warm energy to every shoot, guiding you with intention while also letting real moments unfold. I focus on genuine emotions, soft light, and all the fleeting details that make your memories unforgettable.
Working with Kelly and I means more than just beautiful photos & videos. It’s about trust, connection, and creating images that make you feel something every time you look at them.
Let’s turn your moments into art — from your first “yes” to your forever “I do.”
"Your love story deserves to be remembered, not just told."
