Wedding Photography-Trash the Dress with Rose

genevieveleiper — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:00:05 +0000

Last month I photographed a “trash the dress” shoot on the grounds of a mansion in Middleburg, VA. This is one of my favorite sites to photograph because it is absolutely beautiful and privately owned. It really is a photographers dream. My good friend and amazing make-up artist Victoria Stiles did the make-up for this shoot. It was exactly what Rose envisioned for her shoot and she loved it. These are some of my favorite images taken that day so enjoy and feel free to make a comment… I love comments.

Engagement Portrait-Brittney & Dre

genevieveleiper — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:41:49 +0000

Brittney and Dre are such a sweet young couple and so in love. I met Brittney and her family couple of years ago when I photographed her older sister’s wedding. I just fell in love with the whole family instantly so you can imagine how excited I was when they called to tell me they wanted to hire me for Brittney’s wedding too.
We had so much fun running around the Leesburg area taking pictures. We had beautiful clouds and sky so I was happy of course. There was a little sadness that day for me because I knew they would be saying goodbye to each other the next morning. Dre is a soldier in the Army and shipped out to Iraq the morning after we took these pictures. I felt honored to spend the day with them capturing these images. I edited the pictures and posted them online that night so Dre could see them before he left.

Dre stay safe and return home soon.
