Vendor Spotlight: Felisha Lees Photography
A seamless wedding day doesn’t just happen by accident…it not only comes down to meticulous planning and thinking through all the details, but so highly correlates to the quality of your vendor team!
Having the right vendors by your side on the big day (and throughout planning) can ensure the success and enjoyment of your celebration, which is why we are dedicating time to spotlight some of the very best in New England on our blog. After more than a decade of planning weddings, we know which vendors deliver again and again on their promises, show up on point every single time to make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be, and are at the top of their game. In fact, we don’t put vendors on our “list” that we haven’t worked with previously, and always include only those that we know are professional, efficient, timely, communicative, and just all around superstars at what they do.
For those couples still looking for their dream photographer, we are delighted to feature a long-time trusted vendor and absolute professional in the photography world - FELISHA LEES!

What is your favorite part of the role you play on a wedding day?
My favorite part of a wedding day would be the moments when love is most tangibly felt—the quiet connection between the couple as they soak in the gravity of their day, the tearful embrace of a parent, or the laughter shared during a fleeting, unscripted moment. I treasure the raw, emotional moments that tell the unique story of each couple and their families, capturing not just what the day looks like but what it feels like. For me, it's about witnessing and preserving the soul of their love story.

What is one thing you provide your couples with during their wedding planning journey?
For me, it's not just about taking photos—it's about being truly part of the journey. I don’t want to just show up on the wedding day, snap pictures, and leave. I want to really know my couples, their story, what makes their love so uniquely theirs. It’s about building that connection so I can capture those raw, in-between moments—the ones that truly matter, the ones that feel like them. I’m not just a photographer; I’m someone they can lean on throughout the process. Whether it’s helping calm nerves, being their cheerleader, or just listening, I’m there for it all. What I give them is more than photos; it’s an experience that’s intentional, heartfelt, and completely tailored to who they are. My goal is for them to look back and not just see how their day looked but to feel it all over again. That’s what I love about what I do—it’s all about the heart of their story.
WHat is something you really want couples to know when it comes to wedding photography?
Something I wish couples knew about photography is that it’s so much more than just beautiful pictures—it's about preserving the emotions, the fleeting moments, and the little details that might go unnoticed in the whirlwind of the day. A photograph isn’t just a snapshot; it’s a memory frozen in time. The way the sunlight hit the bouquet, the tear that rolled down a parent's cheek, or the laughter during a quiet, stolen moment between the two of you—those are the moments I strive to capture. I also wish couples knew how much trust plays a role.
When they fully trust their photographer, it allows me to be creative, bold, and truly present in capturing their story as authentically as possible. Great photography comes from connection, and it’s when I feel that connection with my couples that the magic truly happens. It’s not just about the perfect pose; it’s about the real, unscripted moments that make their day entirely theirs.
Would you hire “you” if you were planning a wedding today…why or why not?
Absolutely, I would absolutely hire me right now because I believe in more than just delivering beautiful images—I believe in creating a tangible experience with your wedding photos that lasts a lifetime. My process isn’t just about showing up with a camera; it’s about diving into your story and intentionally crafting a visual narrative that’s meaningful and unique to you. Your wedding photos aren’t meant to live in a folder on your computer; they’re meant to be experienced in the most heartfelt way possible.
From designing albums that you can hold in your hands to curating moments you’ll want to frame and cherish forever; I focus on ensuring your memories are something you can relive and pass down for generations. It’s not just about the day; it’s about how those moments continue to live on in your life. That’s why I would choose me.
BUST one myth about your specialty that all couples should know!
A myth that I'd love to bust is that every photo needs to be posed or picture-perfect. In reality, the magic often lies in the in-between moments—the unposed, natural, raw emotions that truly tell your story. It’s my job to make sure you feel at ease so those moments happen effortlessly. It’s not about perfection; it’s about authenticity and capturing the heart of your day.

Where can you be found when you're not working (hobbies, passion projects, etc)?
When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my family, exploring new destinations, or diving into the pages of a great book. Traveling fuels my creativity and gives me new perspectives, while quiet moments with a good story allow me to recharge. I also have a deep passion for philanthropy work, whether it’s supporting meaningful causes or giving back to my community. These moments outside of work fill my heart and inspire everything I do behind the lens.
