WOW! Where do I even begin?! Tracy Autem and her team are absolutely incredible. They captured our wedding day perfectly and went above and beyond in every way. I got married in Ma...
y at the TCU Chapel and Hotel Drover, and they knew all the very best spots for photos — not to mention the perfect times to take them for the most beautiful lighting.
Tracy and Amanda were amazing at keeping everything on schedule while making us feel calm and comfortable. They brought structure to the day without ever making it feel rushed or stressful. From our very first meeting, Tracy was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to help — always showing up with a smile and incredible energy.
Out of all of our wedding vendors, Tracy and her team were hands-down the best decision we made. I will truly never stop looking at our photos with so much happiness and gratitude. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day flawlessly while making you feel completely at ease, Tracy is the one!
We absolutely love Tracy and the entire Lightly Photography team! She has been beloved by our family since photographing my sister’s wedding back in 2014, so we knew we were in the...
best hands. Tracy has a gift for making you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera—she took such great care of me during my bridal portraits and was amazing with my (slightly nervous!) husband during our engagement session, putting him totally at ease.
On the wedding day, she and her team were professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. And the photos? Absolutely stunning. Tracy captured every emotion and every detail so beautifully—we are blown away. These are true heirloom-quality images that we will treasure for a lifetime. Our magical day lives on forever thanks to Tracy and Lightly Photography!

, I know we will be happy to look at them in 10/20/50 years from now and remember our perfect day. A friend told me she thought our photos were so nice they should be featured in a bridal magazine! I thought that was an incredible compliment and a real testament to the quality of Jennifer's work.

poke to Jennifer Aguilar. I wasn’t quite sure what to ask or discuss and she gently walked us through the process and potential options. We booked Jennifer for both engagement photos and our wedding day. I really appreciated her suggestion to provide my husband and I some time between ceremony and reception to capture photos on our own.
As a very structured and scheduled bride, I was comforted by how organized and professional the company and especially, Jennifer, was in preparation for our big day. I appreciated their support on building our timeline and list of requested photos. On the big day, both Jennifer and CJ, second photographer, were timely and were great with organizing our big families for family photos. They were on the dance floor for all the dancing, and we are so blessed by their energy and support all day long.
Last, but not least, the final photos were incredibly beautiful and captured our favorite moments from our wedding day. We were so excited to share with friends and family! It’s been hard to choose our favorite, but I’m thankful for their sharing processes and online photo albums. We look forward to working with Lightly Photography to build our heirloom album.

Tracy and her associate, Amanda, put so much love and care into our wedding weekend in the Hill Country. They handled any mishaps and strong emotions with such patience, grace, kindness, understanding, advice and encouragement.

We had the honor of having Jennifer Aguilar as our photographer for our engagements and wedding. Jennifer was so patient, and kind through the hole process. She answered every sing...
le question before we signed anything. And she gave me the memory of our magical day, she has amazing editing skills and can truly help coordinate family members no matter the circumstance. A sassy niece, a tired grandparent, really any situation thrown her way is handled. She caught every moment I asked for and then some, Jennifer made sure to stop us to capture the moment. I couldn’t have asked for a better gift, I now get to look back at the best day of my life anytime I want and that is only because of her. She has the eye for photography and I am truly blessed to have found her.
Jennifer is a gifted photographer and wonderful person to have on your wedding day. She took amazing photographs and worked really hard to capture so many moments. She was so nice ...
and calming that several members of the wedding party mentioned how much they enjoyed her on the wedding day!
Absolutely wonderful company, photographers, and all around experience. Our photographer took the time to get to know us before hand, was flexible in providing us services that fit...
our needs, and was so fun and easy to work with. I have never liked having my picture taken but felt completely comfortable having her take our photos and guide us through poses. Every single photo we got back was absolutely beautiful and truly captured our big day. Jennifer was kind, understanding, and always made us laugh. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family.
Jennifer Aguilar was our photographer for our engagement session and our wedding. She has an amazing eye and did an amazing job of catching the special moments during our wedding. ...
Both my husband and I don't really enjoy taking photos, we aren't big fans of being the center of attention, but Jennifer did such an amazing job of bringing us out out of our shells and making the experience fun.
We have received so many comments oh how amazing our photos came out and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
One of my Bridesmaids referred Lightly Photography to me when searching for a great photographer for our wedding day in August in the Dallas area. I had done a lot of research on p...
hotographers, looked at tons of reviews, and photos, and fell in love with the shots by the Lightly photography. They were very classic, capturing all of the special moments, candid shots, and more formal family pictures. Once we decided on Lightly, we actually received a sweet wedding gift from them, the 5 Love Languages book. Jennifer Aguilar was our photographer along with a 2nd photographer on the day of our wedding. I communicated with Jennifer prior, planning out the wedding day schedule. She was very patient with all of our questions and requests for a ton of different photos to be taken. On the day of, they both arrived on time, if not early. They were both very sweet, down to earth, and made everyone feel very comfortable when taking pictures. They were also great about keeping everyone on schedule and making sure we didn’t miss any important shots but also didn’t spend the whole time taking pictures. They were very creative and provided guidance when needed/asked. I was blown away by all of the beautiful pictures we got that we’ll be able to cherish forever. I also loved the personal touch (Our story, etc) they added to the blog when posting the pictures. In my opinion they go above and beyond in what you’d expect of photographers and the pictures show it all! I am so grateful to have been able to use them and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer.

e. They took their job seriously, and ensured that the bride and groom got the photos they were looking for. Lastly, their photos came out natural and hardly looked edited, which is exactly what I was looking for!
We contracted with Amanda McCollum of Lightly Photography to take our daughter's engagement and wedding pictures. Their prices were competitive and had personally heard rave review...
s about Lightly and all were true! Their engagement pictures were wonderful. Amanda was able to capture their personalities and make them feel comfortable so they could just be themselves and relax. When the wedding day came, Amanda and her fellow photographer did not disappoint. They were both so fun to be with and made the day relaxing and enjoyable for all family and guests. We can't wait to see the results of their wedding pictures! Many of our other Ft. Worth based vendors were so excited to see Amanda as they all have enjoyed working with her in the past and had nothing but great things to say about her. We found the Ft. Worth group of wedding vendors to be such a supportive and caring team. They all seem to look out for one another. That was refreshing to see. I would highly recommend Amanda and her team at Lightly Photography. Roz & John Hyland
Our photos are flawless, Amanda makes everyone look perfect but feel comfortable in each photo. Amanda was so accommodating working with me during my bridal portraits in the rain!
...
Amanda’s style creates a very classic and elegant photo which helped showcase our wedding so well.
