Look no further..
Ayah and Lenny were hands down the MVPs of the night. They are sooooo good at what they do, super professional, yet they bring lots of fun and humor. Exactly what we wanted- especially having TWO photographers (it was so needed for the small details in the photos). They did a stellar job, far exceeded our expectations. We loved their positivity, energy, and just overall direction during the event. They stayed on top of the photoshoot list and made everything so easy and light. The photos came out PERFECT. We were so pleased with their service.

Beyond happy! Hire them!!!
We could not be happier than to write a review for this talented and exceptional power couple.
Lenny is the visionary and the artist behind the camera. However, do not underestimate the talented Ayah, whether it’s her behind the scenes in IG, her attention to detail when it came to my wife’s veil, or making sure her necklace was in the right position, and making sure this perfectionist is calm and cool when our wedding had hiccups.
These photographers are professional, made us comfortable taking photos in our engagement shoots and our wedding. They will email you back right away, they are open to ideas, and they will model for you what pose they are looking for but above all they are big on your comfort.
These beautiful souls are funny and amazing in IG but they are better in person.
Ayah and Lenny stand by on being tenacious, telling a story, and making sure they give you a life time of photos that you can be proud of.
Jenny and I look forward to reminiscing on our engagement shoots and wedding photos. We will always be thankful to both Ayah and Lenny.
There is a quote that a picture is worth a thousand words but this team is worth a thousand praises.
Kari & James | Los Willows Wedding Estate
Amazing experience!
We learned about Lenielvphotography through my brother who knew them personally. Lenny and Ayah did our engagement shoot and wedding photography. They are so fun to work with, they are the perfect duo! They are incredibly talented and they make the whole experience comfortable and fun. They captured precious moments at our wedding that we will never forget. We consider them great friends, and we’re so happy we were able to work with them!

Highly Recommend!
We hired LVP for our wedding and we 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 LOVE! Their skill is undeniable and we were blessed by their eye and ability to capture/edit. There were so many moments they captured that caused us to audibly gasp, oooo, or laugh. We also had a very specific photo we wanted to make sure to capture and they did amazing! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera so we added on the engagement shoot. We figured it would give us a chance to warm up around them and them a chance to figure us out. Honestly though, their energy is so friendly but professional that we quickly felt comfortable. Highly recommend doing the engagement shoot if you also are uncomfortable in front of a camera. They went above and beyond in many ways and we enjoyed not only their photos but their company. I was definitely grateful their energy was the one that was constantly with us on our wedding day.

Amazing quality of work!
Leniel and Ayah,
Thank you for the lovely moments captured in these photographs. We are thrilled to have received them just in time to celebrate our 1 month anniversary from our wedding with some wine and photos to help us relive our BEST day yet!! We are beyond grateful to have met you both, you outdid yourself with these photographs, you are truly gifted. We wish you a lifetime of success in your photography career as I’m sure you will thrive and continue to bring happiness to many more couples. Thank you again for everything!
Amy & Paras | Talega Golf Club, San Clemente
Best wedding photography team in the business!
Leniel and Ayah make an amazing team and they made our wedding day so wonderful and unforgettable. We could not recommend them more for their exceptional service, value, flexibility and professionalism. It also meant so much to us that such a happily married couple would be commemorating our first day as one. We were so extremely impressed with their ability to get creative and capture the moment in the most meaningful way, regardless of weather, space or time constraints. Hire them immediately, you won’t regret it!

100 % - Highly recommend Leniel V Photography
Leniel and Ayah did a great job with our engagement photos, wedding, and wedding reception. They provided recommendations on places to take photos and ideal ways for us to pose, which made us feel at ease. They arrived on time for all of our photo sessions, they were not bossy, and they were flexible with some of our needs during our special day. For example, after taking photos at a select location after the ceremony, Leniel and Ayah were nice enough to give us a ride back to our classic car to help us not have to walk back in our stiff wedding shoes. In addition, our family is bilingual. Fortunately, Leniel also speaks Spanish and he was able to communicate with and direct family members of ours who only speak Spanish for some of our family photos. We would be happy to work with them again in the future and we highly recommend them to others.
Elizabeth & Chris | Forever And Always Farm, Murrieta, CA.
Above expectations
This review is to express the gratitude we have for LVP. From the moment we met the photographers Leniel and Ayah, we were impressed. Both of them were extremely professional. They were very punctual and patient when we were running behind. They went above and beyond to fulfill our needs and wants for engagement and wedding experience. They really honed in on details to capture the special moments for us. There really aren’t enough words to express how amazing our experience with them was. We highly recommend them for any photo needs you are looking for. We had three photo sessions with them for our wedding experience and we loved the photos from all sessions. We will not use any other photographers for our photo needs and we strongly recommend you take the opportunity to work with them.
Viviana & Matthew | Darlington House, La Jolla, CA
My husband and I got married on 11/30/19. I had researched a TON of photographers to the point where I was going to give up because they were either out of budget or they weren’t my style. A coworker of mine recommended Leniel and Ayah. I looked at their IG and their website and immediately thought “I can’t afford these pics, they’re too good”. But on the insistence of my coworker I reached out for a quote….and to my surprise in budget (WEDDING WIN). we booked the classic collection (which i didn’t know included an engagement session and Leniel caught that i booked a separate engagement session-Another WEDDING WIN). I am not a phototaker, i feel completely awkward and uncomfortable but Leniel and Ayah made us both feel comfortable. During our engagement photos we had picked 2 nearby locations which they accommodated (mural and beach). Leniel went over the allotted time in order to make sure he got all the shots and let me tell you the ones at the end were our favorite and what we used for our save the dates…..TRUST HIS VISION. We got the pictures much quicker than i had anticipated and when i struggled with getting the pictures onto my etsy save the date template….Leniel and Ayah assisted (ABOVE AND BEYOND). Then came our wedding (THE BEST DAY EVER). We took so many pictures and ended up with around 700 pictures. I ended up adding to the album because i couldn’t pick only 40 favorites. I do recommend that if there are certain shots on the day of the wedding you let Ayah know because the day of YOU will forget. We had a phone call about 1 week before the wedding and discussed all the final details/shots we wanted. Leniel and Ayah were very accommodating again with having our dog in photos, wanting to go to the beach and my mother requesting additional pictures. Everything went amazing and I literally cannot wait to hire them again in the future for upcoming events. Trash the dress photoshoot? I think so! 🙂
Schaunte & Jesus | Wedgewood Weddings Vellano Estate, Chino Hills, CA
I know so many people who are unhappy with their wedding photos. But I can’t say the same. I am absolutely blown away with the work this couple puts into their job. I did some shopping around but every time I thought I had the right photographer for my big day, something just wasn’t cutting it. Whether it was the price, what their packages offered, the date not being available, or I just wasn’t feeling their vibe. When I met Leniel and Ayah they were extremely professional and put everything out on the table.
No fine print or secrets their contracts and portfolio says it all. I felt so comfortable and confident every step of the way. I booked ASAP because I knew I wasn’t going to find anyone like this duo. We scheduled engagement photos next and this was the day my husband was to meet them. He’s very camera shy and does not like his picture taken. So with that known, Leniel and Ayah coached him allowing him to let loose. We laughed and smiled throughout the shoot and it made things very easy and exciting. They had the photos back to us within 3 weeks and they could not have been more perfect. 9 month go by and it’s wedding rehearsal.
I cannot express the appreciation of the phone call Ayah and I had. she likes to know the family/friend dynamics that way no one feels uncomfortable and everyones happy. Wedding day is here. We are on schedule and photographers are ready to work. My absolute favorite thing about them is that they enjoy the candid moments and captured them amazingly. From the getting ready process to the first look carried into the reception. The smiles, the tears, the happiness, the glow in people’s eyes were captured and I can appreciate the beauty in their work. I’d highly recommend LVP PHOTOGRAPHY, you won’t be disappointed and I cannot wait for our future photoshoots to come.
Amy & Jack | Leoness Cellars, Temecula, CA
Leniel and Ayah are simply amazing! We did both an engagement session with them as well as our wedding. They made us feel relaxed, comfortable and like we were hanging out with old friends by the time of our wedding day.
With so much chaos, it was such a relief to have them on our side and know that we were going to have beautiful memories! Our friends and family also commented on how spectacular they were both onsite as well as with the photos I have shared. I can only hope to work with them on many more milestones in the future!
Kelly & Justin | Galway Downs, Temecula, CA
Wow, wow, wow. What a great photography company. I have a photojournalism degree and took the photographers aside to discuss my wishes as the ceremony approached. As I was talking, I realized that they already understood. I didn’t want the “standard” shot, I wanted the story – the “back” story and the candids. They described their approach and I appreciated. More than that, they DELIVERED!!! Within days we got a shot video to whet our appetite and then a few days later the full complement of the photos online.
While making my toast to my daughter and her husband I referenced something from high school. Although the photographers knew nothing about it, they actually capture the two other “culprits” in the crowd. They took a photo of their reaction to my inside joke and it is a precious capture of the moment! The photographer looked and recorded genuine emotions from the family, the wedding party and the wedding guests. This is a great company to work with and they will capture the moments that you want to keep forever!
Monica & Emilio | Old Ranch Country Club, Seal Beach, CA
Best Team Ever!!
Leniel and Ayah are such an amazing team together! They both put you right at ease and make the entire experience so much fun and personable. Taking photos can be very awkward however, like everyone has been saying they make you feel so comfortable and make it such a memorable experience.
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming however they are very responsive to any questions, very organized and professional. Leniel and Ayah really work at making sure they capture your vision. They are very communicative and ensure you get the pictures/look you want. They have a great selection of wedding package to choose from and make it easy to share your pictures once completed ( in a great timely manner).
They are also flexible in customizing a package for you as/if needed. Once you see their pictures they speak for themselves. Their pictures are absolutely stunning and you can see how they capture all the emotions/personalities. You will have the best pictures and memories documented! I really can’t say enough great things about them! we cannot wait to work with them again in the future!
Chelsea & Evan | Dove Canyon Courtyard
Amazing Price!
Lenny and Ayah absolutely surpassed our expectations for the day of and the photos we received back from our wedding day. We were so fortunate to book them and work with them. Their communication before, during, and after our big day was amazing. They listened to our ideas and the vision of our special day. They clearly have a passion for what they do and work incredibly well together. If we could give them more than five stars, we would do it in a heartbeat! Thank you, THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts for bringing our day back to life every time we look at our wedding photos. Y’all were an absolute JOY. We wish you nothing but success and to bring more stunning photos and memories to so many more people in the future. Love y’all!!

Hunter & Keith | Edward Dean Museum and Gardens
Absolutely Exceptional
We first found Lenny and his wife while searching for a photographer for our engagement photos. They are a wonderful couple who are professional, fun and work so well together. They made the engagement shoot fun and really captured the moment and feelings, so there was no hesitation or any other considerations for asking them to shoot our wedding. It is worth noting that they had not been to either our engagement location or wedding venue, but based on the pictures you’d think it was their own backyard. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to scope out the place, touch base with my wife and I, and blended right in. They were a perfect balance of asking us to pose for certain photos and capturing the moments that were especially important to us. During the ceremony I don’t remember seeing them but the pictures captured everything. As far as pricing, I had no idea just how pricy photographers can be. However, both our engagement and wedding photos were by far the lowest price but I don’t feel there was any compromise at all in the quality of the product. As far as ease to work with, they were the only people I did not have to worry about during the whole planning process. I cannot speak highly enough of these two. They are an absolute joy to be around and they felt like good friends from our first encounter to the end of the wedding. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone for any occasion. Thank you!

Best investment ever!
We hired Lenny and Aya for our wedding in January 2022 and I can confidently say this was the best investment on our vendor list. From pre-planning, they were so professional and considerate to listen to us and work to generate a timeline that worked best for our environment. I knew just looking at their portfolio that they had amazing skills. After meeting them on the day I was reassured again that they were going to help me feel comfortable in front of the camera with my husband. I am so happy with their service and even more happy with how well they captured our day. You will not go wrong with hiring this duo. Thank you so much for making our day a forever-lasting memory with these photos.
Annie & Michael | Woman's Club of Orange
Beyond amazing!
Leniel and Ayah were so amazing to work with! We were privileged to have them capture our engagement and wedding photos, and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (especially my husband, who doesn’t particularly care to be in pictures). Super responsive and flexible, particularly when it came to dealing with horrendous traffic around our reception venue due to a parade. We are beyond thrilled with the gorgeous photos that will let us relive our special day for the rest of our lives!
Michelle & Bryan | Wilson Creek Winery, Temecula
Amazing and beautiful photography!
Leniel and his wife Ayah are the sweetest couple we have met. They both were very patient with taking pictures of our children. Also, the day of I was running around trying to get yready and Ayah was very kind to help me. Leniel’s work is very beautiful and exactly how I always dreamed to have my wedding photos. He took his time to advise us on how to place our bodies, where to stand, and to remember to have fun. We are beyond happy with his services and highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Leniel and Ayah!
Christine & Eric | The Crossings at Carlsbad
Highly recommend Leniel V. Photography
My husband found LV Photography and I am so glad he did. Photography is a huge factor for us when it comes to our wedding. We wanted someone who would be able to take photos during the day, at night, and during our reception. Lenny and Ayah completely exceeded our expectations. We have been following their social media accounts for some time so we were already excited to have them as our photographers. But … from communication leading up to the wedding, the day of the wedding, and receiving our final photos.. we are just SO grateful to have found them. They made our wedding day so enjoyable but they also knew when it was time to get down to business. They captured everything so seamlessly. With their photography – we have already felt every emotion that brings us back to this day each time we open up our wedding photos. Thank you guys for that. Just because our wedding day is now over… we are so grateful for the amazing photos that LV Photography took for us because we can relive this moment through our photos for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Leniel V. Photography. They know what they are doing!! Fun, professional, silly, easy to work with.. just the whole package!
Jennifer & Pete | Paradise Falls, Oceanside, CA
Talented and Passionate
I was introduced to Lenny and Ayah through a friend that hired them as her wedding photographers. After seeing her results I had to contact them!
Having Lenny and Ayah as our wedding photographers has been amazing. We booked them almost a year prior to our wedding date and they were very flexible with me and my husband’s schedules. During the wedding they were so attentive and to be honest Ayah was the one that kept me sane.
Lenny and Ayah was constantly communicating with me and the bridal party, making sure that we all knew what was going on prior to the ceremony starting. She almost played a bigger role than my wedding day planner!
Meanwhile, Lenny was taking the most amazing shots of us and is so good at teaching us how to look GOOD! When we first did our engagement session with Lenny and Ayah, we were so awkward with the camera, they definitely walked us through better positioning and controlling our face better for the photos. So when it came to the wedding day, we just needed a brush up on our modeling skills. Haha!
After the wedding, my family hosted a different banquet with some people that did not attend the actual wedding. My father asked if Lenny could send a few rough copies of wedding photos to share at the banquet. Not only did they send us a generous amount, they spent long nights editing the photos and rushed them to us within TWO days!! Within a month (4 weeks) we received all the photos taken from the wedding day. The photos are so beautiful and constantly remind me how magically perfect that night was. (as photographs should!)
The photos captured the beauty of the venue and the joy that everyone was experiencing. They are so passionate about their work and you see that they truly enjoy what they do. I would recommend them to my friends and family for sure!
Alanna & Vincent | Mission San Juan Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, CA
When planning a wedding, you find yourself asking “what must I have, and what can I live without?” Finding a photographer was one the must haves for me because we will cherish these photos forever, even after we are gone our family can look back at these beautiful photos.
Lenny and Ayah are a fantastic team to work with, from the beginning discussions, during the wedding day, to even after when we received our photos (less than a month BTW!). They were very professional, and yet very personable with the help of their Instagram stories (follow them @lvpphotography24). I hired them a year before the wedding, and while I was on Instagram patiently waiting for that year to end I was able to learn what their process is, how they interact with the couples, and the little details they mentioned in weddings that even helped me plan mine!
My husband and I are so happy with our photos, and we are so gracious that they were helpful with my vision as well as using their vision to capture these breathtaking shots. We definitely recommend Leniel V. Photography to capture your next big or intimate event, as you will be astounded by their professionalism, attention to detail, and their kind & helpful personalities!
Aubrey & Erick | Bridges Auditorium, Claremont, CA
Honestly, the best decision we made for our wedding! Lenny and Ayah were absolutely amazing. They definitely knew what they were doing the entire day, from getting certain shots before the ceremony even started to asking for family members to come take pictures and of course just being awesome. Ayah was so helpful with my dress and veil and getting everything in place while we were taking pictures.
All I can say is book them and you will not be disappointed! We booked them a year in advance and I suggest you do the same just because their pictures are breathtaking. Also, as hot as it was the day of our wedding, looking at the pictures you wouldn’t have even known. We hope to work with you again in the future! We are forever grateful! Thank you! Thank you!
Nicole & Justin | The Marquess Weddings, Murrieta, CA
BEST photographers ever. Lenny and Ayah were the only photographers we met with in our search for our big day – after meeting them, it was a no brainer that they were the right people. They are true professional and made us feel very comfortable while taking our photos. They were very open and super flexible with different photos we wanted to get. Our photos came out BEAUTIFULLY. They are very personable and warm people and work very well as a team, we will definitely be return customers for the next big events in our lives! One million times I would recommend them to any one searching!!!
Caitlin & Patrick | Inn of the Seventh Ray Weddings, Topanga, CA
I wish I could put into words how amazing and talented Lenny is. When we started planning our wedding we looked at hundreds of photographers and no one seemed right. We came across Leniel’s work at a bridal expo and both knew immediately that we found the right photographer. Everyone in our party loved them for different things:
Leniel knows exactly how to work with the light, his photographs aren’t heavily edited, Ayah was so helpful with random things (including my dress ripping moments before the first look & helping a guest learn a line dance), everyone felt at ease with them, super quick turn around time, and they just are simply amazing. Photography was one of the most important aspects in our wedding and now looking back at all our photos, I can’t believe we found a team that just knocked it out of the park.
They got every picture we could imagine and so much more. I can’t thank them enough for their creativity, kindness, and all around hard work. I couldn’t be happier with our photos.
This review is to express the gratitude we have for LVP. From the moment we met the photographers Leniel and Ayah, we were impressed. Both of them were extremely professional. They were very punctual and patient when we were running behind. They went above and beyond to fulfill our needs and wants for engagement and wedding experience.
