testimonials
"The coolest photos from a sharp, creative eye. Beauty, art, angle, Venusian vibes."
-Tiffany Harelik
"We hired White Light Exposure to photograph our wedding on 4/5/14. Letitia and her business partner, Deleigh, were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Communication was easy; they understood our unconventional approach and made artistic choices accordingly. During the ceremony and celebrations, they were present, quick-paced, non-intrusive, and worked great with all our vendors. I don't think they missed anything, and the turnaround for viewing the edited photos was extremely swift. On top of that, they have awesome personalities and are a joy to be around period. Prior to the wedding, Letitia also did our engagement photos as a package deal! I cried when I saw them. What a beautiful way to remember this time for years to come."

"Do you ever look back at photos and think "These are so great and they capture the day so well, I just want to go hug my photographer"? Well, I get that feeling about Letitia at least once a week. White Light Exposure is the best!"
