Missy
SOCIAL MEDIA & CONTENT MANAGER
If you’ve fallen in love with a post on our social media, chances are Missy was the creative mind behind it. As our Social Media & Content Manager, she brings Illustrated By Leigha to life through thoughtful content, and a keen eye for capturing the moments that make each event so special.
Behind the scenes, Missy curates and creates the content that showcases our work, our clients, and the unforgettable experiences we have the privilege of being part of. Her creativity and talent help tell the story of each wedding in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and inspiring.
You’ll also often find Missy at events, camera in hand, capturing candid moments, guest interactions, and behind-the-scenes memories throughout the celebration. Many of the beautiful photos and videos featured on our social media channels are captured by Missy herself, giving couples a glimpse into the magic of their day through a fresh and artistic perspective.
Her creativity, enthusiasm, and passion for storytelling make her an invaluable part of our team and help us share the joy of every celebration long after the last dance has ended. ✨
Toni
LIVE WEDDING ILLUSTRATOR
Toni is one of the talented artists on our team, bringing both artistic skill and a genuine love for celebrating life’s most meaningful moments. After spending more than six months training behind the scenes, she has mastered our signature illustration style and pacing, allowing her to create the same beautiful guest portraits that our clients know and love.
As our calendar continued to book further and further in advance, we found ourselves having to turn away too many wonderful couples. Expanding our team was a natural next step, and Toni was the perfect person to help us do it. Her dedication, work ethic, and commitment to excellence made her an ideal fit for our growing team.
Outside of weddings, Toni works as an art therapist, combining creativity with compassion in her everyday life. As a newlywed herself, she understands firsthand how meaningful wedding day memories can be and feels honored to play a small role in preserving them. She has invested countless hours refining her skills and perfecting her craft, and her passion for creating beautiful artwork shines through in every portrait she draws.
Toni is incredibly excited to celebrate with couples, connect with guests, and create keepsakes that will be treasured long after the wedding day has come to an end. We are thrilled to have her as part of our team and can’t wait for you to meet her!
