Chrysa Leigh Photography

Chrysa is a New York-based wedding and portrait photographer whose style emphasizes intentional storytelling and capturing authentic, organic moments. Her imagery marries a documentary approach with an eye for editorial to offer well-balanced, candid, and guided moments exuding effortless elegance.
Chrysa resonates deeply with the practice of observation and cultivating awareness, whether it be emotions, textures, or shadow play. Honing that art has allowed her to capture otherwise “missed” details or moments and turn them into something meaningful.
Pulling inspiration from light, movement, fashion, and the nostalgia of film, she has infused both digital and 35mm into her work to offer a unique blend of timeless imagery and refined high-flash moments.
Her value of connection and building rapport with each of her couples, putting them at ease, has become essential in capturing genuine, intimate moments throughout the day.
Based in New York, Chrysa’s work has taken her all over, from the streets of Manhattan to the Hudson Valley, to the coast of Italy, to the countryside of Ireland, and everywhere in between.
