Hi, I’m Kandi Leigh, and I am a sucker for beautiful sunsets and a good love story.

I am blessed to live in one of the most beautiful areas in the U.S., and I love taking pictures of couples and families in the Great Smoky Mountains including Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Maryville, Townsend, Sevierville and Knoxville, Tennessee. The Great Smoky Mountains are one of the most sought after elopement and small wedding destinations in the U.S., and I feel blessed to be ale to capture these special moments in our beautiful mountains.

But, I also love to travel and feel extra blessed to help people create moments, memories and beautiful photos all over the U.S. and beyond.

My style for photography is the same as my motto for life: I focus on the light. (Eternal optimist at your service.)

I have been shooting wedding, corporate and brand photography for more than 10 years. I am also a Spiritual entrepreneur, and I love helping people feel better through Reiki energy healing and Tarot readings. I believe life is about creating balance and wellbeing in health, wealth and relationships, and I believe photography should reflect this. We aren’t meant to live fragmented lives, and your pictures should show a 360-degree view of your life. This is why, in addition to Smoky Mountain elopements, my favorite photography sessions provide a fusion for power couples and family-oriented entrepreneurs that I call lifestyle branding photography. This way your photos can represent you in your business and personal life and simply remind you that you get to live the life you love.

Would you like to create a photoshoot with me? Contact me so we can get started planning!

And just because I love connecting with people on the different things that make us who we are, here’s some random facts about me:

• I LOVE Birthdays!

• Salt baths are one of my favorite ways to relax
• Hiking, snowboarding, water skiing and riding roller coasters makes me happy

• I am a reiki master and Tarot reader
• I am known for being an eternal optimist
• And, as a writer, I love finding words that mean exactly what I want to say
