Leslie studied cinematography and filmmaking in London, San Francisco and Amsterdam before completing her BFA in Fine Art Photography and Film at The Savannah College of Art & Design.
Her first film was an official selection of Sundance Film Festival and she has made short films that have screened at many festivals nationally and internationally. Leslie has also been involved in the creation of numerous music videos and documentary films.

While living in New York, Leslie led the film department at Ford Models to create lifestyle film content and worked on projects for publications such as Art In America, Interview Magazine.

When it comes to weddings, Leslie has the unique perspective of having worked alongside over 50 of New York Cities best Photographers. This has given her a very unique training window in terms of working in tandem with wedding photographers.

In 2010, Leslie founded the wedding cinematography company, Kiss The Bride Films in New York City. Kiss The Bride has created wedding films for over a 1000 weddings worldwide. This level of enthusiasm for Leslie’s work inspired her to hand train a small team of Cinematographers who currently work together at Kiss The Bride Films East Coast, while Leslie herself lives and personally shoots on the West Coast.
