WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE GENERATIONS

“The ability to love is the very best part of our humanity.”

“Our wedding photos left us speechless! Leigh went above & beyond and not only captured our every request, but produced the most high quality, beautifully captured wedding photos we've ever seen. To say our photos exceeded our expectations is an understatement.”

Maine Wedding Photographer Leigh Madeleine

Let Me Be Your Guide

My name is Leigh Doran


I am an experienced Maine wedding photographer, having photographed over three hundred weddings since 2003.


I put you at ease in front of the camera so you recognize yourself when you look back on your wedding photographs, and remember the joy you felt. I feel like a friend, rather than a vendor. Someone who is on your team and part of your squad, looking out to ensure you get the imagery you’re going to value and want to relive, throughout the generations.


I know when to step forward and lead, offering guidance and direction, and when to step back and quietly observe the genuine emotion unfolding in front of me. I have a complete picture in my head of the wedding storyline, from beginning, middle, to end, and I’m constantly looking for the key moments throughout your day that will tell the whole story.


I work with you to identify the important places and the key relationships at your wedding in advance, so I understand your values, and know which images are going to be the most meaningful to you and your family. I like to surprise you with the unexpected images you didn’t know you wanted.


I am inspired by the unique people who are in front of my lens, recognizing that every wedding is an opportunity to make an image I’ve never made before.


I appreciate the special beauty of Maine, from its coast to its stunning private spaces, and I see the Maine location you’ve chosen for your wedding day as one of the characters in your story, ensuring its special role is captured.


Life is fleeting, but a photograph is forever. Begin your wedding photography legacy today, and let's capture your story together!

“Love is what we all share. It's the great unifier. Our one universal truth. That no matter who we are, where we've come from, or what we believe, we know this one thing: Love is what we're doing right.”
