Villa De l'Amour - High Point Weddings - Megan and Jacob

Megan and Jacob

Villa de l'Amour  - High Point, NC

Megan and Jacob were married at Villa de l'Amour in High Point, NC surrounded by their closest friends and family!  Megan looked absolutely flawless in her gorgeous gown from Carolina Bridal World. The rhinestone belt was the perfect finishing touch!  ...and let's not forget her long, lace veil!! It was so dreamy and princess-like.  Jacob looked sharp in his gray suit and black tie from Men's Wearhouse!  ...and guests commented all evening on his HUGE smile!  Jacob genuinely looked soooo happy!  They both did! Their first dance was the sweetest thing ever to watch!  They hugged...and smiled...and laughed...and just soaked each other in!  You could really tell they were soaking in every minute! And make sure you scroll down and see Morgan's toast (Megan's twin sister) ...she had us all in tears! It was the most touching tribute to a lifelong friendship and sister bond. 

Sedgefield Florist did an amazing job on all the flowers!  Her bouquet perfectly pulled all the colors together incorporated in the wedding. On Target DJ was awesome and made the reception a - PARTY!!  Megan and Jacob are madly in love and it's definitely evident in the photographs!  Enjoy!

Jesse and Kaitlyn | Church Ceremony | Centennial Station High Point NC

Jesse and Kaitlyn 

 

Where it all began:

Jesse and Kaitlyn met on their first night of college at Western Carolina University through a mutual friend. As the story goes, Jesse’s friend invited him to go hang out with them and some “pretty girls” they had just met.  The guys all went together to Kaitlyn and her roommate’s door.  Jesse happened to knock on Kaitlyn’s dorm room door, while the other guys dodged out of the way, Jesse was standing in clear view in the door way. He was met by a strange look and “who are you?” from Kaitlyn.  Little did Kaitlyn know, the stranger outside of her door would become her husband. The rest is history.

Kaitlyn and Jesse have dated for 6 years.  Many of these years have been spent on the road, commuting back and forth to see one another. Regardless of distance, Kaitlyn and Jesse have made it work through multiple mid-week Japanese dates in Asheville (the middle ground for them both).

The Proposal:

During their freshmen year of college, Kaitlyn and Jesse went cliff jumping with some friends at a Lake in Cashiers, NC. While another group of friends decided to go sit on the beach, Kaitlyn decided to follow Jesse and another group of friends up the cliff to take the plunge in an attempt to impress Jesse. A few days later, Kaitlyn and Jesse went on their first date. Needless to say, the decision to jump, although terrifying, was one of the best decisions that Kaitlyn ever made.

Six years later, on October 14th of 2016, Jesse took Kaitlyn to the same place that they first jumped and asked her to take another leap of faith with him by asking her to marry him.

The Wedding:

Jesse and Kaitlyn decided to get married at New Friendship Baptist Church (Kaitlyn’s home church) and have the reception at Centennial Station soon after becoming engaged. The venue is located at a convenient place that makes travel easy for both families. In addition, the old train station has a vintage look and possesses a lot of history of travel. Jesse and Kaitlyn are excited to begin traveling together. Although they have been many places on their own (collectively: Australia, Finland, England, Ireland, Wales) they have never had the opportunity to share these travels together. This is something they look forward to as newlyweds. With this being said, Centennial Station was the perfect spot to begin their new adventure of marriage!

Wild Child Mini Sessions

2022 YLP Senior Experience | High Point Senior Photographer

Yasmin Leonard Photography is now scheduling 2022 Seniors!

 

HELLO SENIORS!!!

I am beyond excited you have contacted me!  I LOVE senior sessions and love customizing each and every one for the particular senior. Throughout this blog, I'll address some commonly asked questions.  

It covers all of the details including sitting fees AND the ordering session afterwards. Prints and Products are not included in the sitting fee.

 

What should I wear?

Dress in whatever makes you feel confident, beautiful and comfortable.  I used beautiful - and that goes for guys and girls - dress in whatever makes you feel awesome!  If that's an old pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, bring them!  If you love to "dress to impress," let's do it!  I want to document who YOU are and I'll be able to do that best when you feel great!  

I don't limit how often you are allowed to change.  I personally love the variety!   Just keep in mind that changing takes away from our shooting time, so plan to change quickly! 

Where will the session be?

Sessions are done within the Triad; typically within 30 minutes of High Point, NC.  We'll discuss where together though!  Think about what makes you, you!  Where do you feel most at home?  If that's the city, we'll go there!  If that's the great outdoors, we'll find a great property!  AND if you're a little of both, we can allow time during your session to go to two different locations.  If you need ideas or suggestions, I have them!  ...but first, I want you to think of what you like and we'll go from there!

Kernersville Botanical Gardens

Old Salem, Winston Salem

Downtown High Point

May I include my extracurricular activities?

Absolutely!  Please do!  I LOVE including what makes you, you!  I've said that a few times, do you get the idea!?  I want this session to be ALL ABOUT YOU!  I want your friends and family to see these and say "That is soooo (insert your name here)."  So if you're in the band, definitely bring your instrument!  If you're a swimmer, let's go to the pool!  If you have played basketball since you were 4, by all means, let's go to the gym!  The only catch is, you're responsible for getting permission to use any school or private property.

Don't play sports?  Not in the band?  No problem!  I wasn't either!  What makes you - you - may be a ball cap, a great pair of sunglasses, or maybe going barefoot!  Don't stress about what to bring!  Sometimes less is more anyway!

When should I book? 

Again, that's up to you!  Many High School seniors book in July and August, while College Seniors tend to book the month of their graduation.  If you are wanting to use your senior portraits for your senior page in the High School yearbook, check with your school to see when they are due!  ...and schedule accordingly.  After you session, you'll be invited back to the studio to view your portraits and choose your digital images and order print products.  Final images and prints are typically ready within two weeks.

If you don't need them for your yearbook, you're really free to schedule whenever you'd like!  Some seniors really love the Fall or Spring and will wait to schedule for that time of year.

Regardless of the time of year, book early! YLP dates go quickly!

Senior Sessions are booked on Monday - Thursday; with limited availability.  Weekends are reserved for weddings.
