Becca + Scott
meet the artists
A husband and wife team creating photography and Super 8 films rooted in presence, artistry, and family legacy
Becca and Scott met in 2016, connecting over a shared love of visual media and storytelling that grew into both a friendship and a partnership. After marrying in April 2020, they combined their talents and rebranded Becca’s wedding photography business as The Leighton Co., expanding their work to include both photography and films.
Together, they approach each wedding with care and intention, shaped not only by joy, awe, and curiosity, but also by life’s harder chapters of loss and heartbreak. They know how fleeting moments can be, and they give their best to ensure each couple’s story is preserved with honesty and artistry. For many, a wedding day is one of the few times all of their favorite people gather in one place, and the smiles, voices, and embraces that Becca and Scott capture often become the way families remember and celebrate their loved ones for years to come.
A wedding day is not about performance, it's about connection. It's one of the rare moments when the people who matter most gather in one place, bringing with them history, emotion, and memory. The images and films we create are not meant to direct the day, but to hold it as it unfolds.
what we believe
our approach
what you can expect working with The Leighton Co.
1. emotion that stays with you
2. a calming presence
3. artistry with depth
We are drawn to the in-between moments: the quiet anticipation, the unguarded laughter, the way the light feels at the end of the night. Each image and film is made to hold that feeling, so you can return to it again and again.
Our approach is intuitive and grounding. We move with intention, offering gentle direction when needed and stepping back when the moment unfolds naturally. The result is imagery that feels effortless and real.
We believe wedding imagery should feel timeless, not trendy. Each frame is composed with care and curiousity, balancing elegance and honesty to create something that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
4. a shared vision
As a husband-and-wife team, we work in quiet rhythm. Becca's eye for light and emotion meets Scott's gift for storytelling, creating a cohesive narrative that feels lived-in and full of life.
5. trust at the heart of it
The experience we create is built on trust, knowing that we'll see what matters most, even when it's fleeting. Our calm, observant nature allows us to be fully present for the real, unrepeatable moments.
6. a legacy to hold
What we create is meant to last far beyond the wedding day. These photographs and films become heirlooms; a way to remember how it all felt, long after the day has passed.
"We never felt like we had to perform or be something we're not"
- lucy + WIll
Working with Becca and Scott was a dream!!! My husband and I truly could not have been happier to share our day with these two. We never felt like we had to try to perform or be something we're not so that they could get the shot –– Becca and Scott make sure you feel comfy and natural, despite all the cameras in their hands. They have such amazing eyes for detail and capture candid moments that we will look back on for years to come. Thank you, thank you!!!

How far in advance should we book?
Most of our couples book 9 to 12 months out, especially for peak season dates in New England (June–October). If your date is sooner, reach out anyway - we occasionally have openings and love last-minute connections.
do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. We're based in Midcoast Maine and serve all of New England and the East Coast regularly. We also take destination weddings throughout the U.S. and beyond.
Do you shoot on film?
Yes, analog film is included in our photography collections alongside digital. We love shooting film because it slows us down in the best way, making us more intentional about every frame. It also deeply informs how we edit our digital work - the warmth, grain, and timeless tones you see in our galleries comes directly from a film-inspired eye. For many of our couples, film supplements their gallery with images that feel like heirlooms from day one.
What does the day actually look like with you there?
Calm, intentional, and unobtrusive. We communicate before the wedding day to make sure we have all the details for family portraits, VIP guests, how you want your day to feel, and what you're most excited about. We make sure to check every box so you can be fully present on your day. We will gently give guidance when needed, but mostly step back and observe the day as it happens naturally.
when will we receive our gallery and films?
Photo galleries are delivered within 12 weeks of your wedding date, and films are delivered within 16 weeks. We take the time to curate and edit every image and frame thoughtfully so that your gallery and films tell your story in a genuine, artful way.
Wedding investment
We take on a limited number of weddings each year, allowing space for care, presence, and a deeply considered approach. Our work is rooted in trust, intention, and honoring the full experience of a wedding weekend.
Many of the celebrations we document unfold over multiple days, from the quiet anticipation of the rehearsal to the final moments on the dance floor. We approach each with the same care, treating every gathering as part of a larger story.
Photography, Super 8 films, day-before coverage, and handcrafted heirloom albums are offered thoughtfully to create an experience that feels cohesive and personal. If our approach resonates, we’d love to learn more about what you’re planning and begin a conversation.
