I absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. I did a lot of research on photography because in my opinion, all the details and the planning and the expense is largely lost if you can’t look back and remember it. To that end it was really important to me to have a photographer that captured the right mood, the authenticity, the imagery, and of course the portraits. I wanted both fine art and documentary style, which is kind of a tall order I think - and Genevieve more than delivered. The quality of the photos is beyond all of my expectations, and I also really appreciated that Genevieve is such an experienced professional she had a lot of suggestions that helped us enjoy our day more. This was also invaluable on the day - it’s amazing how quick the day goes and when it was really important to stay on the timeline, Genevieve kept us on schedule. She also worked seamlessly with my videographer. And, at the end of what I know was a grueling day, Genevieve and her team kept on to make sure she captured our send off. I’ve also known friends who either didn’t receive their wedding photos on time or didn’t receive them at all; Genevieve delivered them very fast - while we were still on our honeymoon one week later! I 100% recommend Genevieve Leiper Photography for your wedding or special event! -

I cannot say enough good things about Genevieve. Every aspect of working with her for our June 2023 wedding was wonderful. She is professional, prompt with communication, flexible, and immensely talented. We did an engagement shoot with her also, mostly to get comfortable with being photographed, and it was a great choice. By the time of our wedding, we felt like Genevieve was an old friend. She works fast and efficiently and captured all of the shots we wanted for our day. Her second shooter for the day off was also charming and fun to work with. Even our guests commented how impressed they were with how present the photographers were.
The best part - my husband cried again when we got our photos back and looked through them to relive our special day. We cannot recommend Genevieve enough! -

Beautiful photos and a highly experienced, laid back day-runner!
My venue recommended Gen, and we are so glad we chose to work with her. From our first call, Gen makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed (which is especially important when you are as awkward around a camera as I am!). She does an incredible job of keeping the trains running on time day of , and corralling bridal party and family members. Her team is equally as wonderful. Her shots are quick, efficient, and absolutely beautiful. She even captured everyone's personalities on the dance floor. Lastly, she took great care to include all of our specific shots, including a photo I recreated of my grandma.
10/10 recommend Gen and her team. Her photos will help us remember our special day forever! -

Absolutely Amazing Photographer
Genevieve is such a talented photographer!! We hired her for our small COVID wedding and our large celebration, and the pictures from both were truly amazing. I really can't thank her enough for all the gorgeous photos we have from both our celebrations.
Genevieve was also so great to work with. She was really flexible when we had to switch our plans because of COVID. She was on time for everything and extremely organized during both events. We have a really large family, and she did such a good job directing everyone and getting all the shots we wanted quickly. It was also freezing on both our wedding days, and Genevieve was such a good sport (and actually so enthusiastic) about braving the cold to get some amazing outdoor pictures. (Those are some of my favorite, so I'm so glad she braved the cold with us!!)
I really can't recommend Genevieve enough. You can't go wrong if you hire her, and I promise you will end up with amazing pictures from your wedding! -

So talented, plus a dose of wedding wisdom to boot!
I looked through dozens of photographers in the area and it was immediately clear to me how skilled she is, and that she has such a gorgeous style. We loved her scenic photos, emphasizing the beauty of the natural surrounding and taking some of the focus off this generally camera-shy couple. Genevieve was one of the first vendors I booked, and I'm so grateful she was able to document our big day.
She was very honest with us, not trying to upsell me on a second photographer, and ensuring me she could capture all the big moments herself. My guests literally thought we had 2 or 3 photographers because she seemed to be everywhere... they were shocked to find out it was just her!
We also did an engagement session with Genevieve, which was a great way to understand the process and get more comfortable posing. We learned during that session how quickly she works -- no awkwardly holding poses for a long time, Genevieve just snaps away!
Finally, as someone who has photographed probably thousands of weddings, Genevieve has seen it all and was a very reassuring presence on my big day. When I had to make a rain call and ultimately move the ceremony inside, she calmly assured me that I had made the right call, putting my worries at ease. She confidently told me multiple times the indoor rain plan would look beautiful and photograph gorgeously, and it did. She noticed a couple details from our ceremony that were really special to me and complimented them -- as someone who's been to so many weddings, you know she means it when she gives a compliment! She was super flexible all evening, going with the flow when I asked her for portraits with certain groups of friends, and picking up on spontaneous moments on the dance floor. Our album is so beautiful and I had a huge smile plastered on my face going through it this morning. You will NOT be disappointed if you book Genevieve -- but do it now, before she gets snapped up by someone else! -

Katelyn T. Sent on 04/23/2021Genevieve was absolutely amazing!
Genevieve was phenomenal! She went above and beyond to photograph our wedding day and we could not be happier with her photographs. She captured our looks, our laughs, and the small details that create a beautiful ceremony. She also brings far more than her camera to your venue, she delivers a burst of energy, a wonderful sense of humor, and her ingenuity. She helped me finesse our wedding day timeline to optimize first look photographs and "be ready" times for family, this was particularly helpful for children in our wedding party. She also helped me improvise when I did not have an elegant hanger for my wedding gown photographs or the skills to fasten my own bustle after the ceremony. Most importantly, she captured our family's candid smiles and our favorite memories in gorgeous photographs with stunning light. Genevieve has a gift for capturing beautiful moments and I highly recommend her for your special event! -

Best wedding photographer
Genevieve did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos. Her photography is truly breathtaking and she was able to capture the beauty of the venue and our day so perfectly. She gave us so many gorgeous photos to choose from, we are having a hard time putting together an album because we want to print them all! She is incredibly easy to work with and will guide even the most novice of models (me and my husband) to get the absolute best photographs. Snatch her up before she is booked for your Leesburg area wedding :) -

Melanie P. Sent on 07/24/20205 stars is not enough
Genevieve is one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding. If I could give her any more than 5 stars I would, because she deserves them all. She came from a recommendation from our venue and I could not have been any more thrilled with how attentive and helpful Genevieve has been. We ended up having to postpone our larger wedding celebrations to next year due to COVID-19, but Genevieve is so amazing she had already talked to our venue to make sure she was available on dates we were considering before we even picked one. In all of the rescheduling process, if I sent an email to her, I knew that within about 5 minutes she was going to give me a call and help calm all of my nerves. She is that amazing.
At our small ceremony this year, Genevieve helped to create a timeline for our short time together to get all of the photos that we wanted and even helped us squeeze in a first dance too. She made the groom and I feel so comfortable and relaxed (even if it was nearly 100 degrees outside while we were taking photos). She even did a great job of getting our young nieces and nephews to smile in photos which is quite a task when they range from ages 1-8.
We cannot wait to see our photos from this year and are looking forward to working with her again next year. We cannot say enough good things about Genevieve and highly recommend her to any other couples. -

Rebecca K. Sent on 05/14/2020Best Decision Ever!
My husband and I had to cancel our "big" wedding celebration due to COVID and found Genevieve through a recommendation. We decided to honor our original wedding date and proceed with an intimate ceremony. To say she saved our day would be an understatement! She was generous, kind and very well organized through the process. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and help make the day extremely memorable. Looking back, I wish this had been our original plan! We received the photos of our day very quickly and we were truly delighted. Our families cannot believe how beautiful the photos are, her quality of work is out of this world. -

Genevieve did an incredible job with our wedding photos. After our wedding day I asked my husband what his favorite part was and he told me he most enjoyed taking first look pictures at Morven Park. Genevieve was SO easy to work with and she made us feel comfortable while taking pictures, and it really shows in the end result. We had to reschedule our wedding and she was very accommodating which meant a lot since we already had lost multiple deposits. We are extremely satisfied with her work and would highly recommend her to any bride and groom. -

I can’t say enough about my experience with Genevieve throughout this past year! In addition to her amazing work she is always prompt in communicating and went above and beyond in every way. We were lucky enough to have Doug and Genevieve shoot our wedding and they were a true dream team and a blast to spend the day with. We had so much fun and Genevieve made sure to capture every special moment throughout the whole day! She even took the time to rebustle and fix the sleeve on my dress when I had a wardrobe malfunction! She is prompt in her delivery and everyone has raved about how gorgeous and perfect our photos are! We love Genevieve and hiring her was one of our best wedding investments/decisions! -

Genevieve was absolutely amazing! I would highly,highly recommend her. From our initial phone call, to our in-person meeting, it was clear that Genevieve was very professional and extremely talented. She captured all of the wedding’s moments beyond our expectations. The posed photos were spectacular and the candid photos were incredible. You can feel the joy and we can almost hear the music playing in the background while looking at still photos. So amazing! She knew the venue so well and was very well prepared. The photos were taken in different locations and very thoughtful but also taken very efficiently. Genevieve has a calm disposition and a discreet style. She was a pleasure to work with. Her assistant Slavy was fabulous as well. Whenever we look at our photos we say “we were so lucky we hired Genevieve”. -

Genevieve was absolutely amazing! From start to the finish on our wedding day day she made sure she and her second photographer captured all of our special moments. Genevieve was so helpful in the booking and planning process as well. We talked over the phone a few times so she could get a feel for our vision when it came to our wedding photos. We could not have asked for a better photographer and second shooter. They were professional, fun and full of laughter. Genevieve really knows how to capture moments and her photos are truly works of art!! -

Genevieve was so amazing! We're so thankful that we chose to go with her for our wedding photography. No photos to share yet, since we just got married a little over a week ago, but I have no doubt that they're going to be perfect (she showed us a few little previews while we were taking them and they looked AWESOME!!). Gen made our big day run so smoothly. She helped keep me calm, keep everyone on schedule, and made sure we got all the pictures that we wanted. She thought of every detail and even kept her car running with the air blasting cold for us to sit in while we went from spot to spot to take pictures. She had everything under control, and I was so grateful. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, LOOK NO FURTHER! Go with Genevieve. You won't be disappointed. -

I want her to photograph every moment coming up in my life!! Plus be her best friend lol. You won’t be disappointed hiring her!!! I was so lucky to get her!!! My husband and are thrilled with her work. It’s amazing and quick!! She got us our engagement and wedding pictures back so quickly!! I didn’t realize how important that would be to me but it was so amazing to get it the pictures back quickly to share with family and friends!! -
