Gold Wing Photography

I cannot recommend Lilian/Gold Wing enough. We had an absolutely incredible experience with her, from initial outreach through post-wedding. She is extremely professional and easy to work with leading up to the event. At the event, she put everyone at ease, got every single photo we asked for, and captured the day in such a beautiful and authentic way. The photos she took are stunning and make us feel like we are reliving the day. I want to work with her to photograph all life events, she is truly just fantastic. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

One of my priorities was selecting a quality photographer for our wedding day and Gold Wing Photography was my number one. From the beginning, Lillian was prompt, communicative, and thorough. I appreciate that we had a chance to connect on what my vision was and then get her perspective before the actual day. I was concerned that the dreary landscape would dull the background. Instead, Lillian was able to make magic happen and composed absolutely breath-taking shots. She went above and beyond capturing all of the special moments. What a talented photographer, beautiful muse and epic hype-woman. Her work is worth the investment. What are you doing still reading this? Go hire her!

Lillian is amazing! She did a wonderful job capturing all the details of our wedding and even took time to do some creative shots separate from the standard portraits. She can control a crowd with ease and produced so many great photos from our day. If you're looking for a fun, creative, kind, energetic, and talented photographer, you absolutely should book with Gold Wing Photography!

Lillian is professional, thoughtful, unique, and so fun to work with. She made us feel comfortable and captured more beautiful candid moments than I ever could have imagined. Everyone was stunned by our both engagement and wedding photos! I would highly recommend working with Gold Wing Photography - everything Lillian does exceeds my already high expectations!

We could not be happier with our wedding album from Lillian!! Each time we look through the photos, we feel like we are reliving our wedding day. Lillian and her team made the wedding prep process so easy, and she executed our vision flawlessly. Lillian was able to capture so many little moments that I would have forgotten about with her. The gallery is full of so many candids (our favorites), plenty of little detail photos, and great wedding portraits. We HIGHLY recommend Lillian/ Gold Wing Photography!!

I don't even know where to begin... I could not have dreamt of a wedding album so wonderful, intimate, raw, and passionate as the one that Lillian so perfectly curated for us. My husband and I spent last night reliving every moment of our wedding through these photographs, and I am truly speechless. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Lillian captured absolutely everyone so organically and intimately. It is one of my favorite things about her photography: she manages to capture the microscopic moments that no one else sees. I cannot thank her enough for what she has given us!

My husband and I worked with Lillian for our engagement and wedding photos. Working with Lillian is seamless. Not only is she incredibly flexible, eager to answer questions, and responsive to concerns, she had solutions to problems we hadn't even thought of. I'm always awkward in photos, but with Lillian's direction, she put me at ease with her open and friendly nature. She was like the BFF I didn't know I needed on my wedding day! Because she also has an incredible eye for lighting and framing, we didn't need to spend hours with her to get the perfect shot. We have dozens to choose from and never felt like we were spending too much time away from our guests. If you want dreamy, romantic photos for your wedding day, Lillian is the photographer for you!

Lillian is absolutely fantastic. Neither of us particularly like having our picture taken or being the center of attention. So, to be honest, we were kind of dreading the photo session before the ceremony. We were so totally wrong. The 45 minutes that we spent going around the venue with Lillian really were among the best parts of the wedding. She is fun, kind, and super talented. The wedding was a blur, and a few days after, we found out we would be immediately moving to another country. So it wasn't until we got the photos back that we had time to reflect on the wedding. Thanks to Lillian, everything rushed back. Her own style, which we love, shines through, but the photos also perfectly capture the energy of our wedding, family, and friends. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, and care enough about it that you've read this far into a review, then Lillian should definitely be your choice.

Lillian was a true pleasure to work with! She is very friendly, incredibly responsive, and has a masterful ability to get everyone in the right place for the right photos with no stress. Lillian is not your average wedding photographer. We are so happy we used her for our wedding and would recommend her to anyone.

Chloe and Lillian at Gold Wing Photography were such a joy to work with and they captured the day perfectly. I highly recommend working with them!

I don’t know how I can do justice to Lillian’s hard work and incredible talent in one short review, but I’ll try. We hired Lillian as a wedding photographer for our September 2022 wedding. Working with her during the planning process, she was always so organized and responsive, I always felt like we were in good hands. And we absolutely loved working with her on the day of the wedding. She had the best energy and it felt like she was so excited to get all the best shots of us. She gave great direction while still allowing us to pose naturally. Our families and wedding parties all commented on how lovely Lillian is and how good she was at giving direction. She was so considerate and thoughtful, and always asked permission before touching someone or coming into their personal space to alter a pose or demonstrate where they should stand. She ensured we were always on schedule throughout the entire day, and never forgot to get a shot I had asked for. And the photos. THE PHOTOS. They are so, so beautiful. We all look incredible. Everyone in these pictures looks like they are absolutely glowing with happiness and joy. I don’t know enough about photography to properly explain all the technical reasons why her photos are so beautiful, I just know that they are beautiful. I’m so grateful to Lillian and to her second shooter whose name I have since forgotten because I am the worst with names (sorry!). The two of them helped us to have an incredible day, and now we have the most wonderful photos to remember our wedding day. Thank you so much.

TL;DR Hire Lillian as your wedding photographer. She is kind, communicative, hard working, versatile, and most importantly is extremely talented and gifted at what she does. From the start , Lillian was very easy to work with. She was kind and compassionate, as well as very communicative with regards to everything she offered as a photographer. Just from looking at her previous work we knew we wanted her as our photographer, but talking to her (even just over email) truly sealed the deal because we knew we were talking to someone who really cared about capturing an authentic, intimate, and candid depiction of a very important day. This energy shone through on the actual wedding day, and that can be told through the countless remarks we received from guests raving about how warm and wonderful Lillian was. On the day of the wedding, things were running behind and I was extremely stressed out because a major chunk of photo time was eaten into. When I arrived at the venue, I had about 20 minutes until the ceremony. In those 20 minutes, Lillian took me to take photos alone. It was the first time I had met her in person and I was a total stress ball, but within even two minutes of being alone with her I felt a sense of serenity and ease that is hard to achieve at any time for me, let alone running 40 minutes late in front of a camera on my wedding day. I went into my ceremony at peace and returned to the excitement and joy of the day and that is largely in part due to Lillian’s incredible natural ability as a human being and a photographer to provide a comfortable environment. Now onto the photos themselves. Wow. Lillian is an extraordinary talent behind the camera. Our wedding was in NYC, which is not her typical shooting environment. However, you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the photos. They are absolutely beautiful, capturing the city/us/our friends/family/celebration in a warm, intimate, cozy, and authentic way. The emotions of the day shone through so clearly, and that is due to her ability to capture purely candid moments in the perfect way. This is exactly what we were looking for when it came to photography for our wedding. Not to mention that we now get to look back at intimate and emotional moments we might not have gotten to see or be a part of on the day itself. Despite running behind, she was able to organize a wild group of people and capture every moment we were hoping to, and she even stayed late to photograph some later moments simply because she believed it was important. Everyone who has seen the photos have been enamored and everyone we know getting married have asked for her information. We highly recommend Goldwing Photography, as Lillian exceeded all expectations and gave us the most beautiful photos to look back on as we grow old together. Thank you so, so much Lillian!

Lillian has wonderful skills behind the lens, but also has the important skill of making her subjects feel comfortable. Working with her was fun and enjoyable. Months later, friends and family still comment on how impressed they were with her!

We met Lillian the night before our wedding day - we last minute asked if she could join us at the rehearsal dinner for some photos of the more intimate group. We clicked instantly! She is so great with large groups and handled the night and day of perfectly. Her incredible talent aside she was an amazing person to be around and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We would highly recommend Lillian over and over again. It all goes by so fast, but because of Lillians unique talent we can relive the day and will cherish the memories she captured forever.

Lillian is everything you want in a wedding photographer. Certainly, her photos came out wonderfully- they're beautifully taken and edited, diverse in style, backgrounds, subjects, and she captured all moments of the day! But she was also communicative and a pleasure to spend time with. She even jumped in the lake, in her clothes, to get a shot that she/we wanted. We couldn't be more grateful for her and her work!

Lillian was AMAZING. Super easy-going and fun to work with. She was so stealthy we didn’t even notice her at times until we got the pictures back. We loved her artistic style and her “eye” THANKS LILLIAN WE HEART U :)

Over the moon with Lillian!! We originally chose her because of her authentic, beautiful style and the candid moments she seemed to catch with each photograph. We quickly learned that she was also organized and professional, which made our planning and event run incredibly smoothly. The day of wedding Lillian and her assistant were energetic and such a pleasure to be around! They captured every moment including getting ready, first look, specific wedding party/family photos, the ceremony, cocktail hour, speeches, dances, our epic dance party, and so much more. We especially appreciated that they made a conscious effort to pull my husband and I away to capture some special moments together through the wedding. When we received our photos, we were in awe of how stunning they came out. We were ecstatic with how many candids were taken (our absolute favorites), how they captured the small intimate details (ex: flower arrangements/place settings), and that she was able to make each feel like a piece artwork. Lillian and her team are truly unique and you would be so lucky to work with them!

There truly are not enough words to express my gratitude and awe towards Lillian & her team. From our first call & checking out her previous work, I knew she would be incredible for the job and boy did she exceed any high expectations I might have previously had. She was on time, extremely effective in wrangling everyone together & keeping their attention (and always with a bit of humor which EVERYONE really appreciated), kept it fun and natural, and even led some breathing exercises which.. I didnt realize how much I actually needed and appreciated being the anxiety ridden bean that I was on that day. Lillian made me and everyone involved incredibly comfortable - almost like shes just always been there in your life as your friend and not just a photographer. We even have on video one of the flower girls having a melt down right before walking down the aisle and Lillian calming her down gently enough to where the flower girl was then able to continue down the aisle. As for the photos themselves.. her work speaks for itself - stunningly beautiful and everything we ever hoped to have captured on the most important day of our lives. THANK YOU LILLIAN! You are a GEM of a human who possesses incredible talents and we are so fortunate to have found you!!!

We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding day! We LOVED working with Lillian & Gold Wing Photography. Lillian captured the day so perfectly and our photos turned out amazing. Everyone that see's them oo's and ah's over them and loves the light, bright nature of her photography. The photos captured not only our personalities but also portrayed what we wanted the day to "be" so perfectly. What may have been the most special thing about the photos was seeing all the moments with our guests that we were not a part of that Lillian was able to capture - the dancing, the smiles, new friendships being made - the little moments. Gold Wing Photography is fantastic at capturing REAL moments. Lillian was so kind, welcoming, organized, and helpful throughout the entire process. People kept coming up to me at the wedding to tell me they loved the photographers and what a great job they were doing. I cannot recommend Gold Wing Photography enough! You will be so happy with your decision if you do!

From the start, we knew that Photography was going to be one of the most important pieces of our wedding day, and we are so glad we decided to work with Lillian. She was absolutely incredible! She was SO helpful from start to finish - from the prep work and helping me get clarity on how the day would go, to the final moments of the night rushing to get final group shots amidst a packed dance floor. She was also particularly helpful with the curveball that was the weather. Our wedding day was surprisingly cold, and a little rainy, and she did a great job helping us pivot to ensure we were still able to get the photos we wanted - it clearly showed her considerable expertise. Lillian did such an incredible job directing the whole photography process (and coordinating with the videographer, too!) - she got groups together, directed poses, made it super clear where we needed to be, where she'd be, and what we needed to do. Every member of the wedding party was impressed - and to top it all off, the photos we've seen so far are stunning. We are so happy to have worked with Lillian and would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Lillian of Gold Wing Photography. Lillian truly is the entire package! Not only is she incredibly talented, she is professional and an excellent communicator. From our first email through final delivery of our wedding album; updates were always timely and polished. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning! She captured so many beautiful moments that my husband and I will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. It’s the small, unplanned moments that make up some of our favorite photos. Lillian made us feel at ease during the entire process. She was efficient and knew how to take charge to make sure all requested photos were captured. We had an amazing experience and would recommend Lillian/Gold Wing Photography hands down!

Lillian captured our day beautifully and was a joy to work with. The range of emotions she was able to capture at our small and intimate wedding was incredible. She has an eye for detail and meshed well with our unique and adventurous style. 10/10 would recommend.

Lillian and her team were a dream! My husband (!) and I were so pleased with how they conducted themselves on our wedding day and with communication leading up to it. Lillian made us feel comfortable and confident while also taking charge to wrangle our crazy 21-person wedding party. We are so ecstatic that we have these beautiful photos to remember our special day forever!

Lillian did the most incredible job for my wedding. My husband and I were looking for natural, polished, and elegant pictures that didn't feel overly staged. The final product was EXACTLY what we wanted - this photos look like they could be a spread in a magazine. Lillian was on-time, communicated everything she was doing throughout the day, and always responded to emails promptly. Her pricing is more than fair for what you get - professionalism, kindness, and KILLER wedding pictures that you and your family will cherish for the rest of your lives. HIRE HER.

*Sigh* I just cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Lillian and her team! Lillian came aboard after we had to post-pone our original 2020 wedding date (we all know why!) and I was a little nervous that we hadn't been able to meet her in person before our wedding date. Lillian arrived with exuberance and expertise and my partner and I felt so comfortable and seen despite not knowing her at all! She knew exactly how to capture us (and was so, so patient with my demanding, and loving, family!) I found Gold Wing Photography after seeing a dear friend post her wedding photos and knew I had to have her keen eye for our big day. Thank you Gold Wing!!!

After postponing our original wedding plans due to COVID, we decided to take a trip to Vermont with close family to get married. We hired Lillian to capture the day, and we’re so happy we did. My partner and I are naturally awkward, especially in front of a camera, but Lillian made the entire experience fun and lighthearted. She took absolutely beautiful photos and captured everyone’s personalities. Highest recommendation.

Working with Lillian was a seamless process and both myself and my husband felt immediately comfortable having her join us for our wedding day. I would wholeheartedly recommend her, and will certainly hire her in the future. I was looking for a photographer who was going to capture the spirit of the day through photos—those small moments of a look between the bride and groom, the emotional parts of speeches, and the happiness on guests’ faces. At one point to get the perfect shot, she was laying down in the snow. Lillian delivered, and then some! The photos are vibrant without being overdone. They show the narrative of the day, which was so important due to the absence of so many friends and family members due to COVID-19. We spoke a few times on Zoom, and had a phone call the day before the wedding. It was a small event, and we wanted a photographer who would be flexible yet punctual. She exceeded our expectations, and delivered high quality images in a very timely manner. We were blown away when we received the photos from our wedding day.

Lillian manages to be both energetic and mellow at the same time. She went with the flow (of a pandemic wedding) with a big smile and snapped beautiful shots without any fuss. Thank you so much Lillian for your encouragement, kindness, and skill - if we ever need pictures again, we'll call you up.

I’ll begin by saying this: Lillian is an amazing photographer. She’s mastered the craft and clearly executes all the technical aspects necessary to get the job done. Likely, she’ll do so while rolling in the dirt for an optimal angle or the right light. However, Lillian does more than just take your picture. She captures your essence — in an image — forever immortalizing you in your best moments. She’s able to tell your story through her camera lens with ease and without much encouragement. She’s gentle behind the lens while providing just the right amount of professional enthusiasm to get you, to be you. She nudges your psyche’ to a place where it knows comfort — where it knows confidence. Then, she captures it in a glorious blaze of snaps culminating in countless photographs you’ll be happy to post, share and even print out. Whether Lillian’s photographing your wedding, headshot or a mundane day in the life — she’s the right photographer for the job. I can’t think of someone I’d rather have behind the lens, entrusted with documenting the special moments of my life.

The first time we worked with Lillian was for our proposal! We loved the pictures so much that we asked Lillian to shoot our elopement, and later, our larger wedding celebration. Lillian makes shoots easy and comfortable. She captures beautiful moments so artistically, and so seemingly effortlessly. Lillian is also great to work with — warm, communicative, and professional. I highly recommend her for your most important moments, or for whatever other beautiful moments you’re hoping to capture. Truly can’t recommend her enough.

We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Lillian. She was patient, gave great direction, and is also just the sweetest person. Our pictures are incredible and I’m so glad we got to work with her. Highly highly highly recommend, especially if very traditional pics are not your jam. She’s a really gifted artist and that comes through in her photos.

Lillian and I overlapped in high school, so when she founded Gold Wing Photography, I started following her on Facebook as way to support a local artist. I am so glad I did, because she quickly became one of my favorite Vermont photographers. When I proposed to my wife, Ellie, in 2018, Lillian was the first person I contacted about photographing the moment (even before I knew exactly what the moment would look like). Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Lillian/Gold Wing Photography two more times over the past couple of years: elopement ceremony two days later, and then again this past year, Ellie and I had a more formal wedding celebration with friends and family, and we hired Lillian as our photographer again. THE PROPOSAL: I reach out to Lillian in January and told her I was hoping to propose at the end of February. We set up a time at a Cafe and make plans. After making some initial plans Lillian remained flexible and easy to work with. My initial plans for a proposal were foiled when we had back-to-back 60 degrees days which melted my ice-rink. The day of I called Lillian and we decided to wait for another day. The following Saturday, I took a walk with Ellie around the Trail around Middlebury. Lillian followed from a distance posing as another walker. I proposed to Ellie at Sunset and Lillian took some beautiful photos. THE ELOPEMENT: When I proposed to Ellie, I asked her “will you marry me on Monday,” and so two days after the proposal Lillian joined us in Middlebury again. Because it was an informal ceremony, we didn’t have a precise schedule for the day, but Lillian did a great job of going with the flow, and taking pictures of us both getting ready, the two of us in a the chapel, and then the small celebration after. THE WEDDING: When Ellie and I eloped, we weren’t sure if we would have a traditional wedding ceremony, however a year later, we gathered our family and friends together to celebrate with us. We had such great time working with Lillian, and we loved her photos from our engagement and elopement so much, that we decided we wanted Gold Wing Photography back to document our traditional wedding celebration as well. And of course, she was amazing again. Lillian took all the specific photos we asked for, and did a wonderful job of unobtrusively documenting our wedding (they were so stealthy, at one point I remember looking around to see if they were still there...they were). I love how Lillian captures light, color, and movement. She doesn’t rely on cliche poses and props to document her subjects. She captures moments with her own beautiful and unique artistic vision. Each photograph is a work of art. We’ve gotten so many compliments on all our photos.

Lillian was an absolute joy to hang with on our wedding day! She captured all the moments, big and small. It is incredible to look back and see the day from all angles! It’s as if she was everywhere. Obvious moments like grandparent hugs, and more unexpectedly adorable ones like our pup eagerly waiting behind a door for us to come out. The day felt like a complete whirlwind with family and friends wanting us from every direction. Lillian made it seem easy to rally people together for group shots while keeping it candid - an aspect of her style that drew us to her work in the first place. She also captured gorgeous shots of the food and the venue that are so much fun to look back on. She was so helpful coordinating with us up until our day from across the country, answering all our questions. She made us feel comfortable and was not afraid to play around with us to get some gorgeous shots - we journeyed into the mosquito-laden woods behind our venue to get some magical fairy playground scenes :) We strongly recommend Gold Wing Photography - Lillian rocks! We are still reliving our celebration thanks to her beautiful work.

I couldn't be happier with hiring Lillian for our wedding photos. I originally asked Lillian to do capture our wedding because I love the authentic and natural quality of her images. She has an amazing eye for detail and took an incredibly unique and creative approach to our wedding photos - truly a master of her craft! We decided to keep the family photos short and spend more time with our guests and I am glad we did! Lillian got amazing candid photos of our guests and was extremely efficient in getting all of the important family photos out of the way so that we could spend more time with our guests. I would recommend Lillian to anyone!

Lillian was incredible to work with--so warm, professional, creative, and skilled. And I am SOSO happy with the final product. She captured the best day of my life so perfectly that I relive it every time I look at the photos. I recommend her to you full-heartedly. You will treasure her work forever!

Lillian was awesome on our wedding day! Looking through the photos we have no idea how she was in so many places at once and able to get shots from as many different vantage points as she did! After the ceremony we were pulled in a million different directions but she was able to get everyone together and quickly and efficiently take all of the group shots we were hoping for. The end result were some truly stunning and dramatic photots that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend

Lillian truly captured the beauty, mood, and specialness of the day. Couldn't have asked for a more adept, comfortable, and confident person to take both candid and posed photos with the utmost professionalism and charisma. Highly recommend Lillian for all of the attributes listed above as well as a fair price for her services. Book her for your event!

Lillian was just wonderful. Her eye for detail excellent. Along with wedding pictures she also took maternity pictures the following year. She is professional, kind and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a photographer for your big day give Gold Wing Photography a call. You won’t regret it.

As a bride, I wanted a photographer to be professional, reasonably priced, and able to capture my day perfectly. I wanted to find someone to take photo that will help me remember all the special moments of our day. Lillian did everything I wanted and more! I can’t say enough great things about her work and style. She is nothing short of amazing and I couldn’t imagine photos from anyone else. Gold Wing Photography is a no brainer go to...our wedding, upcoming vow renewals, maturity shoots...the best hands down!

My wife and I sincerely enjoyed our experience working with Lillian at Gold Wing Photography. Lillian was wonderful at corresponding prior to our wedding and was carful in making sure we were ready for the progression of the day. She was very easy to work with on our wedding day and brought a wonderfully creative approach when it came time to shoot photos. The final product exceeded our expectations. We are so pleased to have such a beautiful chronicle of such an important and special day. We highly recommend Gold Wing Photography.
