Offbeat Bride | Meet Leah Muse of Whitney Lee Photography in Austin

This business has paid a fee to be listed on offbeatbride.com because they feel their wedding products and services are in-line with offbeat brides’ philosophies and needs … and I agree. Here's more info about how advertising works on offbeatbride.com.

So, y'all remember Whitney Lee Photography, right? Whitney's advertised on Offbeat Bride before, and she's back … only this time I want to introduce you to her second in command, Leah Muse.

This is actually a small world story, because I've read Leah's blog since 2001. Imagine my surprise then when I realized that now Leah's assisting one of Austin's most popular offbeat wedding photographers … what the HUH!?

I remember when Leah called herself TIME GIRL and wore two watches in high school. I remember when Leah grew up, got engaged, and then got married to her hotty rock star husband Taylor.

Anyway, this post isn't actually about all the things I know about Leah from stalking her online for 7 years. Rather, it's about the amazing wedding photographs she takes in her work with Whitney Lee…

(Click the photos below for more information about the couple.)

Leah's done a lot of band photography and explains, "I'm glad I've taken so many band shots for my husband because it makes me a lot more comfortable in directing couples on their wedding day for a more 'relaxed' formal feel."

Leah also does engagement shots, like these happy folks above.

When I asked Leah about what attracted her to wedding photography, she explained "'I'm a huge cheeseball and I just love seeing a couple so happy on their wedding day."

Speaking of cheeseball (in the best possible way!) you really must read this blog post by Leah about her and Taylor's two year anniversary.

To learn more about Leah and Whitney Lee Photography, you really must head over to the website and check out their Whitney & Leah's Austin wedding photography blog.

PS: You'll be seeing more of Whitney & Leah's work on offbeatbride.com in coming months … be ready!

OMG – I love her glasses – they are so awesome with her hair and her eyes. Wish I could pull of a pair of specs like that.
