Loudoun County is one of the most frequented places in Virginia for potential wedding venues. And it's no wonder! With it's sprawling landscapes, gorgeous manicured venues and its close proximity to Washington DC, it's the perfect location for a wedding just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. 

The Leesburg area boasts dozens and dozens of gorgeous wedding venues from meticulous barn venues to elegant and historical mansions. It's easy to envision saying "I do" at one of the many wineries, white barns, resorts, estates and historical mansions.

And as you walk the grounds of your perfect venue, I’ll capture photos that will grace your home for decades to come. I will record your preparations, your first look, your family...as well as capture images of you dancing for the first time as husband and wife in your reception space.

And you’ll always remember how beautiful your day truly was at your Leesburg wedding venue.


THE PERFECT VENUE

"Imagine your wedding day in a location that is both luxurious and close to nature. Welcome to Leesburg. Loudoun County is home to some of the best Virginia wedding venues. Come see all it has to offer."
- Michelle Lieb of Lieb Photographic 

"Shadow Creek was specifically built for couples looking for a wedding venue that perfectly blends rusticity with elegance. Although Shadow Creek was built to replicate an equestrian barn on the outside, the inside is whimsical, romantic and chic. Hardwood floors, stunning chandeliers, twinkle lights, a French country inspired bridal suite, a manly grooms lounge, and outdoor lawn games are just some of the things that make Shadow Creek so unique!"

Absolutely! If your venue has a lovely bridal suite and groom's lounge, I highly recommend it. I also recommend keeping the area clean and full of natural light for the preparation photos. View some beautiful images of the bride getting ready at Shadow Creek Weddings HERE!

A FEW OF my MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT photographing Leesburg Weddings

Where do you recommend taking our family portraits?

I will give you the opportunity months prior to your wedding day to give me feedback for your preferred locations. I always do a site visit and preferably a walk-through for venues at which I have yet to photograph. My favorite locations for family portraits involve the most lovely spots with the most complimentary lighting scenarios. View a wedding with multiple family portrait locations HERE.

What time should we schedule our ceremony to begin?

I work very closely with you and your wedding planner to ensure that you start your ceremony with enough time for the images prior as well as time for golden hour portraits and a steady reception start time. Before you set a start time, let's chat about sunset for your time of year and your wedding day priorities. View a perfectly time wedding day HERE.

What if it rains on my wedding day?

No one wants rain on their wedding day! But if it does rain, your day will still be perfect and your images will be stunning! I have photographed on rainy days and even in hurricanes! I will scout out all the choice locations at your venue and familiarize myself with plan B, C, D and E! Your day will still be as lovely as ever. View highlights from a rainy wedding day HERE.

Should a bride consider bridal portraits?

A thousand times YES! A bridal portrait session provides the opportunity for a bride to prepare for her Big Day with a private session devoted just to her. Bridal portraits do not always happen at golden hour on the wedding day, so a session months prior to the big day provides those gorgeous images in the prettiest light of the day. And they make the BEST surprise wedding day present for the groom! Peruse an example HERE. And be sure to search the blog for "bridal portraits" to see many more.

Do you recommend any other vendors for my Leesburg wedding?

Yes I do! I have a wonderful and exclusive list of preferred wedding professionals. Many of them are familiar with the Leesburg area and Loudoun County weddings. I provide all of my booked couples with a comprehensive online bridal guide complete with preferred professionals. I'm glad to help match you with the vendors who could be the perfect fit for your style and budget. Find out more about my process HERE.
