Genevieve Hansen Photography

I so appreciate how Genevieve organized the bridal party and family members for portraits so we could remember everyone who attended, but also keep everything on time. It helped keep the stress off me so I didn't have to think about wrangling stray family members for photos. She was even gracious enough to capture a group photo of all 175 guests! I would highly recommend Genevieve to anyone looking to capture their special day. Thank you for all your hard work!

etings before the wedding were very informative and really prepared us for the big day. Day of the wedding she was prepared and made sure to get every shot we wanted and more. The photos came out beautifully, she really captured every detail about this special day. Her communication and attitude throughout the process was great as well. We highly recommend her!!!!

looking for a wedding photographer!

le. Genevieve is also super professional and knows what she's doing! I love the attention to detail she puts into having everything just right, from the timeline, to the types of shots you want, to the way she presents everything on her blog! We are so pleased that she was our wedding photographer. :)

the keepsake of your wedding. We definitely plan on using her for future professional photo sessions. A+, 5 Stars, etc! You will not be disappointed.

yet since our wedding was only a few days ago, but I couldn’t not mention how professional both Genevieve and April were the day of the wedding. We met with Genevieve ahead of time and not only is she the sweetest person ever, she was super organized and knew exactly what questions to ask and even created a plan based on the timeline that was provided. That morning, Genevieve was able to take pictures of my dress and everything while April went to get shots of the Groom. We also did a first look and were able to get majority of family pictures prior to the ceremony so that family could enjoy cocktail hour. Although many people were requesting specific pictures of themselves or with specific people, Genevieve and April did a great job of being professional and polite while also keeping things on track. They were very prepared to get ceremony pictures and my guest were having a blast with them while on the dance floor. They did a great job of getting the pictures while also not being in the way of people’s views of specific events. We even had this idea of a picture that was on the advertisement for the event and somehow Genevieve was able to take something that was so much better. I am super picky about photography and it was something that was so important to me and I am so happy that we chose Genevieve to capture our wedding day.

our venue before starting so she knew exactly where certain pictures should be taken. The prints we got were gorgeous and we love looking through them all because there's not a bad picture! So impressed and happy we went with Genevieve for our special day!

ul of photographers and from the first meeting knew she was what we wanted. Professional, efficient, easy to work with, communicates in a timely manner and most importantly - the finished product - beyond our wildest dreams. I appreciated that Genevieve had a 'plan' on our wedding day rather than just showing up and photographing. She knows what she is doing and does it extremely well. I highly recommend Genevieve and am so thankful that she photographed our wedding.

anyone look amazing. I still get compliments on the engagement pictures she took two and a half years later, and I still wish she'd been available for my wedding. Snatch her up! You won't regret it!!

d just how I imagined I wanted them to look. I would and do recommend her to everyone.

reamt about. She made my wedding day exceptional. She was so detailed and organized which made photos go so smoothly and stress free. She had a sneak peek slideshow for our guests and us to view during our reception. She had 50+ photos posted within a week which we viewed on our honeymoon. She was flexible, kind, and easy to work with. If I could do it all over again I would choose her again for sure!

ved! She is fun to work with, and willing to do so much to make sure everything is perfect. I definitely recommend Genevieve as a wonderful photographer for any occasion!

y quick to reply to emails and always willing to answer any and all questions we have. We did our engagement photos at Tempe Center for the Arts on a weekday evening. She arrived before us to scope out the area and find some good spots for photos. By the time we arrived, she knew exactly where she wanted to go and gave excellent directions the entire shoot. It was a horribly windy and hot day so I was a little worried that the photos would be hard to capture but she was a great sport, and extremely patient with the weather conditions. The session was technically scheduled for 60 minutes, but we were there for well over an hour because she didn't rush us, and didn't stop until she was sure she got everything she needed. She made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole photoshoot. The photos were about a three week turnaround and turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE! For our wedding, she was always available via phone or email to answer questions and even sat down and had a phone call with me to go over the photography schedule four months before the wedding. She then met with us to touch base and go over everything about a month prior and I never once doubted her ability to capture every part of our big day. Day of the wedding, she was extremely professional, and blended into the background to get her photos. She arrived on time and had scoped out the site beforehand so she knew exactly where she wanted to take us. We stayed on schedule and she was great at directing my whole wedding party and families during portraits. I cannot sing her praises high enough. Her pricing is unbeatable and the quality is better than anything I could have imagined. If you do not hire Genevieve, you are missing out!

capture the feeling of Arizona, as well as our personalities, and Genevieve did just that and more. She is very easy to work with and knows how to create really unique and artistic angles and poses all while keeping a fun, upbeat attitude. The evening spent shooting was great, but the results were beyond what we had hoped for. Genevieve is a fantastic photographer, use her if you can!

photographer. So glad we hired her. I would recommend her to everyone!

g a photographer it was difficult. We were looking for amazing quality (and specifically the style of photography we like) and affordable cost where we didn’t have to sell a kidney to pay for it! The Phoenix/Scottsdale area can be quite expensive so I was facing a decision to stay within a certain cost and compromise on photography even though I told my husband I WAS NOT going to compromise on it a few months prior. UNTIL I came across Genevieve’s website (G for short ;)). I absolutely LOVED the quality of her photos and the price was within our range. We planned a trip to AZ to meet our vendors and I contacted G to set up a time and place. Communicating with her was easy, straight forward and professional. She responded within a timely manner throughout the entire process. When we finally met my first impressions of her was: warm, friendly, good listener, easy going. She wanted to get to know us and it was comfortable talking with her. She was the first one we met and the only one. Fast forward to wedding day and we meet again after a few months has passed and it feels like we just picked up from where we left off. We had an Indian-American fusion wedding. For those of you who get this, Indian people run on Indian time. So there were many times where we were behind schedule but G was gracious and very patient and was still able to get us going without being rude or impatient. THAT is an important quality to have. Her people skills are wonderful! She also had an assistant, April, who was very helpful and positive. I had explained to them that I was not photogenic and did not like having my picture taken and both were encouraging and sweet. I was impressed by their professionalism and ability to stay behind the scenes but still be up front and center and capture moments from the wedding. Sometimes I forgot they were around ;) Fast forward to when I receive the photos. I LOVED IT! She captured the details so well from the bead work on my lehenga choli to the henna on my hands and feet. The getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception photos all turned out beautifully. I couldn’t have been happier about our decision to work with G. There is nothing we regret. I highly recommend hiring Genevieve as your photographer whatever it is you are looking for. You will be content and pleased about your decision!

eir biggest regret when they decided to hire a friend to take pictures for them and now they don't have those special memories. I was also really cautious finding a photographer because ones I have had in the past were horribly expensive, require additional costs to print the photos, and there was nothing they took that I really loved. My fiancé and I went to the bridal show and were overwhelmed with the amount of photographers there but there was something about Genevieve that really stood out to us. She wasn't pushy for a sale, she listened to us, her husband was hilarious, she was relatable and kind, and her pictures were gorgeous. As we continued to see others there, I became more and more sure that she would meet my expectations and she went above and beyond. Communication was so easy with her and she would respond back to us almost immediately. She helped us pick out outfits, gave us a guide on different places that she recommended with examples, and she also gave us a picture of exactly where she would be in the location (which sounds silly, but made that day a lot less awkward). Throughout the whole shooting process, she was able to make us laugh and tell us how to move our postures and body parts to look good. We had an absolute blast, and her creative visions turned out to be perfect pictures. She magically was able to capture those moments that you share with your significant other when you look into each other’s eyes or push back their hair, those moments when you remind each other that you love them. Also, I had been insecure about my body for some time due to health issues and I almost cried when I saw the pictures because her recommendations actually made me look (and feel) beautiful. Also, her prices are completely reasonable and you have free access to print all of your pictures. Everyone is completely in love with our pictures and I couldn't recommend her more for a photographer!

is a true artist! We will also be having Genevieve take our maternity photos, and I am so looking forward to working with her again and seeing what beautiful pictures come from the session! I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to get breathtaking photos!
