Leah Cruikshank Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
Leah Cruikshank has photographed weddings from the Gold Coast since 2013, and takes on between fifteen and twenty a year. She works across Australia, and names the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and regional New South Wales among the places she shoots.
Style & Approach
Her photography blends documentary and editorial work in a way she describes as elegant, calm and real. She is drawn to sincere moments, thoughtful details and a kind of quiet luxury, and photographs weddings as they naturally are — couples and guests captured candidly, without direction.
Ideal For
Couples who would rather have their day observed than staged, and who are drawn to understated elegance over anything heavily posed. The small number of weddings she takes each year suits couples who want an unhurried photographer.
The Need-to-Knows
- Wedding collections begin at $6,500 for full-day coverage.
- Elopement and multi-day collections are available, with further options you can add to your coverage.
- She books between fifteen and twenty weddings a year, and is taking bookings for 2026 and 2027.
- Enquiries are answered by email, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Standout Feature
Her portfolio reaches a long way beyond the coast she works from — from Gabbinbar near Toowoomba to Jimbour House on the Darling Downs and Goonoo Goonoo out near Tamworth.
