Genevieve Leiper Photography

ty! I had so much fun filming this gorgeous wedding, where I joined an extremely talented and friendly Genevieve! Genevieve Leiper Photography froze this outstanding day in pictures and she did with such an ease as well. Genevieve was thoughtful and knew the location perfectly. She guided the newlyweds for gorgeous after ceremony shots and easily glided in the heat of the reception. Genevieve Leiper Photography is a true gem for your special day!

ct. We just got our pictures in, and couldn't be more pleased. Our photographers, Ashley, and Megan were fantastic on the day of the wedding. Both were laid back and a lot of fun, and managed to find all the good angles. We're not really big on taking photos ourselves, but they found a way to make the process tolerable, dare I say, fun! We enjoyed working with the whole team, and would highly recommend them all!

veil in some of her photos. Not only that, but she took my awkward self and my awkward husband and made us look like models (half-joking- seriously her work is amazing). Genevieve, thank you SO much for your amazing work and amazing attitude. Anyone that doesn't book you is missing out!!!

out her and her assistant!! You want her as your wedding photographer!

y husband. She was there from start to finish, was polite, willing to do multiple locations, and has been easy to work with on the album since our big day. I highly recommend her.

photographers total and her photographs were on a completely different level. They are art. She is incredibly talented.

on to every minor detail- symmetry, light, people making funny faces! They were a ton of fun and yet made sure to blend into the day and did not block the view of guests etc. When we got our photos we were blown away- they included many details that we didn't know they had even captured!! We highly recommend her for any wedding, engagement and/or event!!

able with her. We ended up signing with her before booking our actual venue! Genevieve has a heart of gold, and is very responsive to calls, emails, texts, etc. She is able to capture some of the most beautiful images without "being in the away." Her passion for what she does shows in her creativity and "eye" for shots. Thank you Genevieve!

raphers, once I met Genevieve I knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding! I was nervous about having my photograph taken as I am usually camera-shy, but Genevieve made everything fun and relaxed and still obtained amazingly beautiful images. Both her and her second photographer knew exactly where to go in Alexandria, Virginia to get beautiful shots of both me and my husband as well as the wedding party. I didn't have any particular shots in mind but I knew I was in great hands with Genevieve and I was not disappointed. The pictures I have seen so far are amazing and I am so thrilled with the results. In addition, during the reception both Genevieve and her second photographer were able to take pictures of the guests in-action on the dance floor without getting in the way of the dancing! I was so happy that we barely noticed them while we were having a blast on the floor. Overall: hiring Genevieve was the perfect decision for our wedding and I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures from our day!

away. Her photography style is flawless and exactly what we wanted. The contract we signed with Genevieve included our engagement pictures and it was a great way to work with her before the wedding. It was a sweltering hot day in Alexandria but she still managed to make our pictures amazing! We had several locations and her eye for interesting backdrops was great. She was a blast to work with so we knew our wedding would be great. We worked with Genevieve and Chad on our wedding day and I am so excited to see how our pictures came out!!! Each one they showed us was stunning- just on the camera screen! I can't imagine how they will look like full size. They were SO fun to work with and that makes having your picture taken easier when you feel totally at ease with the people you are working with. **Note: We recently received our pictures from Genevieve in record turnaround time and we couldn't be happier with them! Genevieve and Chad completely captured our love and emotions during the day as well as those of our family and friends. Everyone says how gorgeous the pictures are and we couldn't agree more! We are so happy that we have the best day of our lives captured so beautifully that we can share with our kids some day. Plus, she sent us three high-quality prints of our choice! I HIGHLY recommend Genevieve as your wedding photographer. You will be making the best choice.

comed the Pintrest sheets with open arms and made sure that we achieved those images on our wedding day. Genevieve has a great energy about her and she has a very creative eye. Getting married in November, we were provided a short window of outdoor photography. Genevieve did an amazing job of orchestrating the outdoor shoot and managing both my wife and I and a excited wedding party! Choosing the Photography vendor was the MOST important vendor choice for our wedding day. We researched many photographers in the area. We feel very fortunate to have found and chosen Genevieve and we STRONGLY recommend her!

were on a time crunch. You will NOT be disappointed, her pictures are PRICELESS!! Thanks Genevieve!!

l up front.

we were able to budget her into our day.

to have a photographer that would capture the emotion of the day through the camera lens. I was having my wedding in Williamsburg, VA but am a resident of Northern Virginia. I met with 8 different photographers in Williamsburg/Hampton/Virginia Beach and felt like they were way too traditional for what I wanted. I cheated and my girlfriend gave me a list of top photographers she narrowed down for her wedding in NoVA, Genevieve being one of them. When I saw her website and portfolio, I was floored. When I met her at her studio and saw more of her work, it blew me away. I walked away loving her and her work but was worried about her cost because it was more than I was anticipating (you never know how much vendors are until you actually plan your own wedding). In the end, I knew that her work and the albums that she would design and put together would be well worth it. For our engagement pictures, she traveled up to West Point for us. From that day, we knew that we would be able to work well together. She is so laid back and not fussy. Whenever I had questions (even with other wedding stuff, non-photography related) she was always so knowledgeable from being in the business for so long. We had two shooters on our wedding day and never regretted that decision. They caught so many moments that I know would have been lost if we only had one shooter taking pictures. I just looked at our final pictures a couple weeks ago and they literally brought tears to my eyes. Genevieve captured the essence of the day and I could not have been happier with our pictures.

des of DC-area photographers, taking on Washingtonian lists and Pulitzer Prize-winning options, trying to strike a balance between our budget and our desire to capture the event artistically and romantically. Then, from one of those lists, we stumbled upon Genevieve Leiper Photography, and we never looked back. Genevieve blew us out of the water from the word go, with galleries galore on her website that illustrated her eye for artistic framing and unique, long-exposure shots. To top it all off, unlike many wedding vendors in general she provided her prices up front on her website, so we knew our baseline cost before we even contacted her. Then, in our first conversation with her, upon discovering that our wedding was on a Tuesday...in December...she immediately cut a significant chunk off the price of her packages without us even asking. A beautiful photographer, affordably? Done and done. And that was just the beginning! When we met up with Genevieve, she had done her research and knew we too were into taking pictures, so she immediately talked to us as if we were her colleagues. This comforted us and let us know that we had indeed chosen someone who knew the ins and outs of her camera, not just the all-too-common kind of wedding photographer who was digital-happy and relied on the law of large numbers to net a few decent shots. She was excited to watch us go through her previous albums, giddily agreeing with us when we noticed a framing or a technique others breezed by in their perusals. On the day of the wedding, she brought her co-photographer, Gray, with her, and after a walkthrough of the ceremony and reception sites, both of them immediately split up to shoot the ladies and gentlemen getting ready. I spent my time with Genevieve, and she was playful and casual, eagerly taking shots of my makeup to show me how it turned up on the camera. This type of excitement coursed through their entire time with us, constantly showing us previews of shots they enjoyed. When they found out we had actually seated them at one of our tables like guests, so that they could eat a full meal, Genevieve about danced (we assume because, at the time, she was eating for two!). As our wedding was Dec. 21, we assumed we wouldn't get to see the results of their incredible talent until long after the holidays. Much to our surprise, though, on Christmas Day, there was an email in our inbox that included a "sneak peek" of eight of our photos! Gen was so excited about them that she called us just to make sure we had seen the email so we could share them with our families when we saw them later that day. She even made it a point to tell us that she was so thrilled with the way our wedding photographed that we were already part of the gallery on her homepage (I'm the bride in the fluffy, faux-fur wrap). On 1/7/11, 17 days after our wedding, we received our online gallery. Our event was captured in a way that only a photographer of her caliber could, with elegant and creative framing, brilliant use of natural light sources, and unique portrayals of motion inside the still images. There is not one single thing she could've done to better our impression of her work.
