Outstanding wedding photographer!
Lily worked proactively with us to create a plan to capture all of our important moments and family photos. She communicated transparently on pricing and her rates were reasonable. On the day, she curated amazing vibes while directing our friends and families through all the formal photos we wanted. She gave us creative prompts which led to photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. She got all the important moments of our ceremony and reception which we asked for, and found lots of smaller details which tell the story of our wedding beautifully.

We were rather picky about our photographer because my now-husband is an amateur photographer himself. It was not easy finding a photographer at an affordable price point who could live up to his standards, but Lily truly delivered! When you reach out to Lily, she sets up a video call to meet the couple with the goal of making sure that we’re a good fit for each other. You don’t want an artist who isn’t enthusiastic about your project, so it’s great that Lily makes sure she is as excited for your wedding as you are to ensure a great result. Her personality is contagiously bright and cheerful that the first meeting set us at ease right away. She communicates in the time leading up to your wedding via her portal. She sends wedding tips, reminders about shot lists and also a few follow up questionnaires to help her get to know the couple. She was helpful in getting the shot list together and on the day of the wedding, she was extremely vigilant in making sure we got all the group shots we wanted. Most importantly, Lily was able to capture so much emotion in our photographs. She caught some beautiful candid shots, and she also came with some little games to help everyone shake off any awkwardness. She used these for couple and wedding party shots so they weren’t posed or forced. It seems kind of silly, but it was the perfect way to get us all laughing and get more natural looks from all of us. My sister-in-law is an event planner so she has seen a lot of event photos from a variety of photographers and she was so impressed by Lily’s ability to capture emotion. There are so many fantastic photos of my husband and I that choosing what to print will be a nightmare, in the best possible way. I honestly can’t recommend Lily enough to you!

"Lily did an amazing job with our engagement photos! She had fun and romantic ways to get the best pictures of us. Her creative imagination led to cinematic scenes I never would have believed to captured for our special day on the beach. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer. Lily is an extremely warm & caring person, willing to go the extra mile to make your day the memory it should be. Her talent goes beyond the lens she was more than willing to include our fur baby in our engagement photos. Even hold him between shots."

As a queer, trans couple, finding vendors that we *truly* felt comfortable with was a challenge throughout the planning process. When we met Lily we felt so comfortable and relaxed with her. We felt like she would be able to capture our vibe without putting particular expectations on us. Lily brought the perfect balance of professionalism and spontaneity to our wedding day! She was on top of everything and we knew we could trust her to ensure all the important photos were taken and things went smoothly. She captured such beautiful photos of our day, including great pictures of our guests having a wonderful time and romantic portraits of me and my spouse. She also was willing to help out with little things like gluing butterflies to my shoes (very important!) I would highly recommend Lily if you want a fun, kind photographer, and pictures that capture a candid feel with a professional quality.

Choosing a photographer for our wedding felt like a daunting task, but as soon as I looked through Lily's gallery of photos, I fell in love with how she captured moments, rather than just posed people for her photos. During our wedding, she had so many tricks to capture our interactions that made taking pictures easy and fun. We had a great time with each other and our wedding party during our photo session.
​
An added bonus - Lily is incredibly thoughtful and sweet and goes out of her way to make you feel special leading up to the big day. You can definitely tell that she loves what she does and takes great pride in what she does.
​
If you want stunning pictures that capture the joy and fun of your special day - do yourself a favor and book her!

Lily is amazing. We wanted someone who would follow our general vision for the wedding, but do it in a fun style and Lily was the perfect choice. Every meeting that we had with her felt so personal and it seemed like she really invested herself in making our wedding photos come out just the way we wanted.

"Lily is an absolute angel. I would and will recommend her as a photographer to everyone I know. She takes the time to get to know you and your partner, what you want out of your wedding photos and just you in general. To quote my mother, “ she was so professional and got beautiful photos but it honestly just felt like one of your friends there taking pictures.” This just shows how professional she is but also so personable and friendly to everyone she meets at your wedding. Our gallery was beautiful and captured so many moments that I even missed at the reception/wedding. 20/10 would recommend."

She really got to know me and my now husband on a personal level and asked questions to determine what was important to us for our big day. She also worked with our budget and was able to capture everything we had hope for on our wedding day. She is very friendly and so easy to talk to....she absolutely made our wedding day everything we had hoped for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"Lily was the photographer at my wedding on 12/3. I was connected to her through a wedding group on Facebook. I loved the style of her photographs and they really stood out among the many other wedding photographers out there. You can tell she cares about her clients and her business. I really appreciated her inclusiveness. She periodically checked in and made sure to make herself available for any questions/help. She is very organized and I felt I was in good hands the whole night. I received my photos back and my husband and I were elated. It was very important to us to have candid pictures of us and our guests having fun. She did exactly that. We were laughing and smiling the entire time we were going through the pictures. We also used her photo booth service which was a huge hit! 100% recommend!"

"Last minute the bridesmaid’s chipped in to get a videographer. I thought perfect, she’s just what we need, affordable and great with communication, and loved her work!
Throughout the process she sent the bride a sweet gift, a great questionnaire to get to know the bride and groom.
​
Get the videographer for your wedding - a month later we are watching the video, and we are reliving this big life moment.

We recommend Lily, she’s SO sweet and gave us a video we will cherish forever."
