The Leekers Photography - Nebraska Wedding Photographers

Can you believe this is the twentieth episode of the Nebraska
Wedding Podcast?


 Neither could we, but time flies when you’re having fun!


For this episode, Kelly gets together with Josh and Aubrey Leeker
of The Leekers Photography.


Josh and Aubrey Leeker are a husband and wife photography
 team out of Lincoln, specializing in weddings and
engagements. They’re going on their tenth year in the biz.


Interestingly, they got their photography start while teaching
English in South Korea, (1:45) which is definitely not the most
“typical” way to get into the wedding industry! (Though something
we’ve learned in these 20 episodes is there’s no such thing as
“typical!” ) While there, they joined a photography club and
covered events for a local magazine. Their hobby soon turned into
a passion – which is when they decided to get serious and turn it
into their full-time business. (2:41)


Josh and Aubrey also chat about how they met – and let’s just say
it’s summer-camp-teen-movie adorable. We’ll let you listen for
yourselves, but yeah. It’s really stinkin’ cute. (4:30) In fact,
their whole story is really stinkin’ cute. You’re going to want
to hear it.


In describing their style, the Leekers site a “journalistic”
approach (10:00), honed in from their beginnings as event
photographers. They now combine this attention to capturing the
event  – and each intimate, important moment - with a love
for classic portraiture. The results, as you could imagine, are
stunning.  


They discuss wedding photography trends, photographers moving
away from “posed” images, and why they find timelines SO very
important: “When you have guests who've traveled the world to
come celebrate with you, it's our job to stay on top of that and
not be frolicking a field while they're waiting for dinner.”
(13:55)


 As always, Kelly asks Josh and Aubrey to tell her three
things their couples may not know about them.  Let’s just
say the cute keeps on coming. The Leekers are #CoupleGoals, guys.


 Speaking of which, they also share valuable advice for
working with your spouse (18:30). Not too surprisingly, it all
comes down to trust and communication.


 When asked what they wish clients asked more often – the
Leekers want to know what clients want to ultimately get out of
the experience and what they think they need. (23:29) They
describe what their own packages and deliverables look like, and
why that works for them. (24:41) as well as how they narrowed
down their business and found their niche. (28:00)
