INVESTMENT GUIDE
FOR LESLIE MARGARITA BRIDES
↓
I’m Leslie Margarita, a Houston-based fine art wedding photographer devoted to documenting love stories that reflect grace, faith, and timeless beauty.
For me, photography is not just art, it’s ministry. Each wedding I photograph is a sacred opportunity to preserve the moments that speak of God’s goodness and the beauty of lasting love.
My style blends fine art composition with a documentary heart. I capture elegant portraits and spontaneous emotion in equal measure, the soft laughter, the tearful vows, the unspoken glances that become your most treasured memories.
My approach is peaceful and intentional. I believe in guiding you gently, giving direction when needed, and stepping back when the moment simply needs to unfold.
Because the best photographs come when you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.
YOUR PRESERVER OF MEMORIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

WORD ON THE STREET
If you are considering booking Leslie for your wedding… DO IT! Leslie and her husband photographed my April 2023 wedding, and they were fantastic! We could not have asked for better photographers. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera and had never taken professional photos before getting engaged. Leslie made us feel 100% comfortable, special, and beautiful on our big day and during the engagement photoshoot. Our wedding gallery is incredible - Leslie captured such a variety of photos and so many special moments throughout our big day. Our family and friends are thrilled with the photos as well! Also, throughout the planning process, whenever we told our other vendors that Leslie was our photographer, we received the same reaction, “She is amazing and so fun to work with!” Her strong reputation in the industry is well-deserved and truly speaks for itself.
