The Edge Photography

We're so glad the wedding coordinator from our reception site recommended The Edge Photography. During our first meeting, we knew we wanted Don as our photographer as soon as we opened the first sample photo album in his studio. The pictures were amazing! We did the engagement photo session about a month before our wedding. I was very nervous before this session because I usually avoid cameras. With some coaxing and good humor from Don, I relaxed and we ended up having a great time. Don took us to several locations around Leesburg and we ended up with beautiful pictures that were used in our guest book designed by Don's wife Ines.For the wedding, Don and his associate Michael were with us the whole day and took amazing pictures - preparations, ceremony, formals, and reception. Both photographers were very professional, yet personal. They managed to get a lot of great pictures without us even noticing them during many of the shots. We recently had the wine and cheese party to see the slideshow that included hundreds of pictures. That was such a fun way to see the pictures for the first time! It was like going through the whole wedding day again! These personal touches show just how much Don and Ines enjoy what they do and it truly shows in their work. The next step for us is working with Ines to finalize our photo album and going through the DVD of all of the images in order to select pictures to enlarge for printing. It will be fun to do, but also difficult because we have so many great pictures. I highly recommend The Edge Photography!

We are so happy we chose The Edge Photography Studio for our wedding photos. Let me tell you, I searched and searched and searched some more for a quality photographer that didn't charge me for my first born. I am so glad I found The Edge. Don and Ines are very professional and talented. They didn't coerce us to choose a more expensive package, but encouraged us to only choose what we really need, and then gave us the flexibility of adding to the package at a later time if we chose to do so. For the wedding day, Don and his assistant were wonderful. The worked hard from the moment they arrived to the hotel for the "getting ready" pictures until the lights came on in the ballroom signalling the end of the formal reception. We just got our proofs from the wedding day and are sooo happy with them. We have formal poses, photojournalistic shots and candids as well. A great collection. Can't wait for the album!

Don and Ines are a wonderful team. Our wedding pictures are beautiful and Don captured all the precious moments of our special day. We felt comfortable with Don and confident knowing our pictures would be beautiful. The wine and cheese party is a nice touch and a great opportunity to review all our wedding pictures and reminisce about our special day. The album Ines put together is stunning and the slideshow is a great addition.

We were very very pleased with the edge photography. Don and Ines are true professionals and have a very detailed eye. We met with them prior to the wedding to go over the timeline/picture schedule. I was very nervous about the schedule of the day and they were patient and understanding. We had engagement pictures taken and used them for our guestbook, we got tons of compliments on the pictures and I knew our wedding pictures would be fabulous. We had two photographers for the ENTIRE day. They captured all of the important events. We received our pictures promptly. I would highly recommend the edge! They were great :)

Don and his team did a great job taking pictures for our wedding, as well as our engagement photos. We are so happy that he was able to capture all the wonderful moments even better than we remembered. The Edge Photography made a personal touch by inviting us and our parents to their studio after our wedding and view the many pictures they took. They had taken the time to pick the best pictures and arrange them in a fantastic slideshow complete with music. It was a complete re-visit of our wedding night, almost as if we were there again. Thank you Edge Photography!

My Wife and I cannot say enough great things about EDGE Photography. A husband and wife team (Don and Ines) along with other photographers on the bench for the day of event. Their quaint and warm studio in Leesburg highlights a lot of their work, and is also where they throw you a wine and cheese party after your Wedding to show you your photos on a projector (make a very nice slideshow set to music etc). Aside from their warm personal demeanor; they take some of the best shots I have seen. A hurricane was in the area during our wedding so my Bride was very worried about having good shots, but Don nailed it and we were very impressed with the original shots he took despite the poor natural lighting (rain and gray skies) outside windows. They were around for entire day and evening and do not "count the clock" which is refreshing. Very prompt on email communications, good instructions for what to do when reviewing final selections of photos, and put together some very nice assortments to choose from for the final book to be published (Ines does great work). In the end their rates are very fair due to the unique artistic photo books they produce, their all-day attitude towards the event, the post-wedding photo party, and the fact that they provide to you DVD's/CDs with 100% of the prints so you can share/print/etc with anyone you choose w/o having to go to them for permission (although they can touch up the work so would suggest you use them for the "main shots"). CD's are nicely prepared in a leather bound book and include the slideshow movie they make for you which is a hit for future family parties for instance. Having the photos and no photographer's watermark on the photos is a big plus. Highly recommend their work as you get commercial results yet a small family feeling to the event.

Don and Ines Harper were instrumental in working with us for our wedding plans. We first saw their work from several of the potential venues that had albums. They truly set themselves apart from other photographers. Don and Stuart met with us beforehand at our convenience. Stuart and his assistant were awesome the day of the wedding. The pictures turned out fantastic. The album that Don and Ines designed really stand apart from other albums that we had seen. Highly recommend!

Don was amazing. He was so creative and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. He shot over 1500 photos for us and they were all so beautiful it was hard to pick! His wife's creativity with our wedding album really helped in our final selections. I would recommend The Edge for your wedding, you will not be disappointed.

We selected Don and Ines, owners of The Edge, after just one meeting with them. We had researched quite a few photographers (approximately 10-15 in the local VA/MD/DC area) during the winter of 2011. We were interested in speaking with a few of them to compare packages, check availability, and meet the photographer(s) that would be part of our big day. We happened to attend The Hunt Country Wedding Show in March, where we met Don and Ines. They were on our list of photographers were were interested in speaking with (my husband actually found their website while we were researching), and set-up a meeting at their quaint, funky studio in Leesburg. After one meeting, we hired them, and have never regretted our decision. We had our engagement and wedding photos done by them and absolutely love all of their work!! Don was our photographer for our engagement shoot. For our wedding, we had both Don and one of his partners, Brian; both produced awesome shots and were so much fun to work with. They are incredibly unobtrustive, captured our day with some fun and memorable shots, and were incredibly professional.After the wedding, my husband and I, along with our family, returned to the studio where Ines and Don produced proofs, a video highlight of some of the best shots (with music), and discussed the package we ordered. Additonally, they treated us to cheese and champaign during the entire show! It was fabulous and so much fun!!!We are so thankful for Don, Ines, and Brian and definitely look forward to working with them again some day!!!

Pictures last! This photography company was the company my sister and her husband chose for her wedding. There was no question that we would use the same company? We wanted the same quality and same wedding day comfort and that is exactly what we got. The layout of our wedding book is beautiful so far...and we have only seen proofs. We even decided to buy extra photo books for our families.

AMAZING !!!!!!!!! AMAZING !!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I really cant express how greatful I am to this team. They spent so much time making sure they captured all the important moments as well as capturing the unsceen. The professionalism and quality of each image is beautiful. I am very thankful for the lifelong memories I have becasue of them. They are fun to work with and honestly I felt as if they were part of them family :) Wonderful group of people by far! Happy Planning and Congrats of your upcoming marriage

I can not rave enough about The Edge. My husband and I were looking for a photographer that made us feel comfortable in the fact that they will be able to capture the whole night while maintaining a VERY low profile. Not only did The Edge manage to capture EVERY moment of our wedding, we found ourselves able to relive every moment of our wedding through their amazing photography. The personal touches that are included in their services make you feel as if you are family, and your happiness is paramount. The photographers, and the book designer are warm, caring people who really understand the mindset of brides, grooms, families and friends. There is nothing that they are unable to do. They truly go above and beyond anything I have ever heard of or seen from a photographer. I couldn't be happier! :)

I’ll just start off by saying, I am extremely picky and I know what I want. I spent an entire day researching wedding photographers (online searches, magazine searches, etc.) about 1 ½ years before our wedding. My parents, my now husband and I loved the photographs in the Edge Photography’s portfolio. We made an appointment with them right away and hired them on the spot (even without meeting other photographers). It was a great decision!!!We had an engagement photo session with Don during the spring. He got some great shots that we absolutely love! The photos are very clear and vibrant and captured the love my husband and I have for one another. Ines created a wonderful photo book that we used for our guest book. It is a great keepsake.Don and his associate were with us for the entire day of the wedding, from getting hair and makeup done at the spa to us driving away in the getaway car. They were unintrusive, as most of the time we didn’t even realize they were snapping shots. We were very anxious to see our photographs and we were not let down when we saw them. They were great! There were many great creative, beautiful and candid shots. We loved the slideshow that was put together as the pictures selected were great and the music was very fitting. My sister-in-law even said, “this is better than a video”.Don and his associate did an absolutely fabulous job and we are grateful we have wonderful pictures for the rest of our lives. We would recommend The Edge Photography to any engaged couple seeking a photographer. You will not be disappointed.Our wedding was featured in the Washington Post and featured the Edge Photography. Here is the link if you are interested in viewing some of the pictures.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2010/11/04/AR2010110408306.html

Don & Ines are a professional and fun team. Don's photography is stunning and he's almost invisible as he works. Ines puts the photo books together and creates a treasure to keep and enjoy. They are both flexible and accessible. We were fortunate with all our vendors but the photography really stands out as exceptional.

Don and his associates at The Edge Photography Studio are absolutely fantastic. My husband and I had somewhat of an unusal wedding because we had two different wedding receptions. I was not expecting Don to come to the evening reception but he insisted that the photo collection would not be complete without those photos. He was with us from 9:30 am to almost midnight taking photos. You hear horror stories about photographers that make the bride and groom late to their own reception because they are too busy taking millions of photos. Not Don. Don kept us more on the time schedule then our own wedding coordinator AND we were able to get all of the photo shots we wanted. Not only was Don and his associate extremely professional but they were incredibly creative. The album they put together of the wedding wasn't just your typical wedding photos but a creative representation of the day. The photos were breathtaking. I would highley recommend The Edge Photograpghy Studio to any bride looking for a photographer because it is impossible to find anyone better then Don and his associates.

The Edge Photography captured every moment of our special day!! The photos are fantastic and we would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area. Don and Ines are so wonderful to work with!! -rebecca&silvio

Don did a FABULOUS job at our wedding. Everyone was talking about how much they loved our photographer and his artisitic eye. He was constantly taking photos, but completely not obtrusive or obnoxious! The dvd is a MUST! I was bummed after the wedding that I didn't get a videographer, but then Don & Ines played the dvd they created with our photos and added music, AMAZING! The video captured key moments of the day perfectly and stuff we didn't see happening, which was awesome. The dvd was worth it and much better than a video. Thank you to Don and Ines for capturing our day in our album and photos. I highly recommend them. This coming from someone who works in the event planning industry!

Don Harper did the most amazing job capturing all of our special moments during our wedding. He was with us from start to finish and half the time we didn't know that he was there. He has a great sense of humor that helped capture our true expression. There are so many pictures to choose from and the quailty is just amazing. My husband and I are very pleased with our weding pictures! I will be ordering quite a few for gifts. I give The Edge Photography 5 stars and I highly recommend Don and Ines!

Don Harper and his team provided highly professional service. The outstanding quality and "capture the moment" feel of his photography is the perfect statement of a wonderful wedding day. He was able to be on the scene and behind the scene without being obtrusive or demanding. We loved his photo shoot in the old church graveyard and on the country club grounds. I was worried about the ability of getting good shots inside the very small country church, but Don and his team managed this as an everyday "no big deal" occurrence, The shots came out just fine and he managed to get some really great photos of the ceremony in progress. I didn't even detect his presence during that time. A true testament to his professional abilities. A great job and I would recommend Don Harper without reservation.Susan

The Edge was recommended to us by a friend who said that they were her favorite wedding vendor, and we were not disappointed. Pat and Stuart photographed our day and they were wonderful. Our guests and attendants especially had a lot of fun with them. Don and Ines had a lovely release party for us, and we were so happy with all of the photographs as well as the DVD of the best photos set to music. They were very accommodating and responsive to my calls and emails with questions.
