Lightly Photography

We are very pleased with our photos from Lightly. Jennifer was lovely to work with and was responsive to any questions I had. Our photos are so beautiful and I love to look at them, 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.

I am above and beyond happy that Jennifer Aguilar helped capture my wedding day. I got my pictures back electronically within 3 weeks of my wedding and Jennifer and her assistant had captured so many little moments that I didn’t even realize. Highly recommend!!

I would and already have recommended Lightly Photography to other brides! They were recommended by our venue, The Ashton Depot, and I was so glad. I felt put at ease as soon as I spoke 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.

Lightly photo was so amazing to work with!! We had Jennifer and she was was so great to work with! From the moment we met she made everything so easy! I had the best time with her and she was capturing every single moment and detail that I could ever think of. Our sneak peek pictures were to die for and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer!

Tracy is the most amazing photographer anyone could ask for! She took her time to get to know us as a couple and helped coach us along the way - Especially during our engagement photo shoot which was so helpful when it came to our wedding day! Our photos are absolutely stunning and she captured the day, emotions and overall feeling beautifully. I would 1000% recommend having Tracy be a part of your big day too!

Tracy and her team did an outstanding job with my daughter's wedding photos! They captured every moment we hoped for, as well as those moments we might have missed otherwise! Tracy made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire wedding day! Lightly Photography was highly recommended to us and we now from experience why! All of the photos are beautiful and each one will forever be cherished!

Highly recommend- beautiful photos and my husband and I felt that we were able to fully experience our wedding/reception without taking away too much time for pictures. We used Amanda who was friendly and great!

Amanda, with Lighlty Photography, took our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and our wedding photos. My fiance and I greatly enjoyed working with Amanda. We had lots of fun taking our engagement photos! She made sure it was light and fun! It felt like Amanda and her shooting assistant worked overtime at our wedding to make sure they captured every moment! These photos will make your memories last a lifetime! We cannot recommend Lightly Photography (and Amanda specifially) enough!!

Finding a wedding photographer should always be taken seriously, and Lightly did just that! Working with Jennifer was so awesome, and my (now) husband and I really appreciated that she took the time to get to know us before doing the engagement shoot and again before our big day. It was so awesome getting to work with such a witty and competent photographer and we are still awestruck by the beauty of our wedding photos. Lightly is the best in the business!!

Lightly Photography did such a wonderful job capturing our special day. Jennifer was our photographer and she did a great job. We also took engagement photos with Lightly. Only issue is trying to choose which photos to print and frame from all of the amazing photos!! :)

If you are looking for a photographer, especially for your wedding, don't go any further! We had Amanda photograph our engagement session, my bridal portraits, the rehearsal dinner, and our wedding. Each and every moment we had with her she blew us away with her love of her craft and the extreme amount of skill. She made us feel so comfortable and gave perfect cues! I would choose her again for any future events/photo needs. We recommend her to EVERYONE!!!!!!

I initially booked Lightly Photography for my Engagement Party. Tracy was our photographer, and we LOVED her so much that we booked her for our rehearsal dinner and wedding too! 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. I am in LOVE with my engagement party photos, love what I have seen from our rehearsal and CAN NOT wait to see our wedding pics. Tracy and Amanda are both so calm, kind, prepared, understanding, fun and professional. I can't wait to book them again for future events/portraits! Thank you both, again and again and again!

Jennifer with Lightly Photography captured our intimate December wedding perfectly. She was very communicative leading up to the wedding, arrived early and was so friendly, and overall did an excellent job with our special day. We will cherish the memories of that day forever. Highly recommend!

Jennifer was our photographer, and it was one of the best decisions made during our entire wedding! She was always there when we needed her but never in the way. It made a difference having a wedding photographer who knew what to capture instead of a general photographer. Highly recommended!

We had Jennifer and she was a dream to work with! She made taking engagement photos fun and comfortable. The day of the wedding, she had an eye for all the perfect shots, and she was extremely efficient when it came to wedding party and family photos. She captured all of the shots we wanted and more!!! Looking back at the wedding gallery was beautiful. So many moments were captured I didn’t even know about! All the guests complimented how well she maneuvered throughout the night and captured so many wonderful moments! I can’t thank her enough for her incredible work! It was better than I ever could’ve imagined!!

We absolutely loved working with Tracy and her team and cannot recommend them enough. SIMPLY THE BEST!! They were just as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. They are very professional and know how to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever.

We loved working with Amanda! She ensured we had all the family portraits we wanted and took the lead in creating a timeline, so that we didn't feel rushed on our wedding day. After only 3 weeks, we had our full gallery and were incredibly impressed with the photographs. She knew Ashton Depot well, which also was a perk. We would 100% recommend her!

We worked with Jennifer and it was a great experience! She really made us feel comfortable (despite the cold temperatures!) and worked very hard to capture a great variety of shots. The photographs really exceeded our expectations. The pricing was fair and we would highly recommend this team.

Jennifer and Lightly Photography were so amazing! They were very easy to work with especially when I had to postpone due to COVID. Our pictures turned out amazing and Jennifer captured our day so perfectly!

Tracy and her team of ladies were so professional. We had the honor of working with Tracy for our engagement session and wedding. She helped me feel so confident in what we were thinking of wearing for our engagement photos and at peace the whole wedding day! She knows the little moments to look for and details to capture. I can't wait to see the rest of my photos!

Tracy is the absolute best! She makes everyone laugh and makes it a very comfortable experience. We just got our pictures back and they are stunning. I would 100% recommend her!

Tracy is a dream photographer! I have admired her work for quite some time- weddings, couples, families, the whole of it- and was ecstatic when she was available for our Microwedding this past June! With everything else going on, my photographer wasn't even on the list of worries. She was flexible, professional, and fun. Our photos turned out wonderful and we could not recommend her more for any photography needs!

Annie was our photographer for our wedding. She did an absolutely fabulous job. She is very experienced and definitely knows her stuff. She helped us with timing and poses and made us very comfortable and confident that our photos were going to turn out amazing - which they did! We were very pleased with the results from her work and highly recommend her for any wedding!

Amanda was absolutely amazing!! We loved working with her and the lightly team. Our engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures are stunning and I am so thankful she was a part of our vendor team. She really caters to the couple and wedding group! Thank you Amanda and the Lightly team for all your amazing work, we loved working with you!!

Amanda from Lightly Photography was the BEST! I honestly don't even know where to begin! She was kind, punctual, funny and so easy to work with! Her work was truly amazing and we can't stop looking through our photos. I would recommend Lightly Photography over and over and over again. Professional, reasonable, WONDERFUL! Thank you Amanda and the team!

Jennifer of Lightly Photography was so wonderful to work with! She was very kind and fun to work with throughout the whole planning process and on day of, too! She put me and everyone else at ease and when we had a power outage during the getting ready part of the day, she went with it and we got some beautiful photos as a result! Her work is phenomenal and I couldn't be any happier with the results -- sooo many gorgeous photos that my husband and I will cherish for a lifetime! I couldn't recommend Jennifer or Lightly Photography more!!

I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved having Lightly as one of my vendors! Amanda is just SO creative and talented. Bonus: she’s also the nicest person I’ve ever met. Absolutely my favorite person to work with throughout our engagement and wedding!

We booked Jennifer through Tracy Autem and couldn't have been happier! Jennifer was punctual, courteous, and professional. We had our engagement shots at the Dallas Arboretum and our big day at City Club! Jennifer was packed full of ideas and executed all our shots with ease. Could not have had a better photog! Shoot them raw, sister!

I can't say enough good things about Tracy and her team!!! Tracy photographed our intimate/rainy courthouse wedding and managed to capture all the love, and all the sweetness in the most beautiful way. We will truly cherish the pictures forever!!!

We worked with Amanda at Lightly Photography for our February 2020 wedding and are so glad we did! We shot our engagement photos in November and she was super accommodating of location changes due to weather and made my camera-shy husband and me feel comfortable in front of the camera! The photos turned out great! She was so helpful in setting the timeline for photos the day of our wedding and handled all of our changes and edits beautifully. She kept us all right on track and we can't wait to receive our photos!

We worked with Annie and everyone had such amazing things to say about her! It was wonderful working with her. She first did our engagement photos and somehow made us not look like we were melting on that hot & humid day. Then we received our wedding pictures, and we’re having a difficult time deciding which ones to print! They’re all so wonderful!

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 single 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 photographers, 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.

Lightly did an awesome job on my photos--they came up with many ideas for good pictures on the fly, and also were easy to work with and made the photography part of the day a breeze. 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 reviews 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.

Jennifer Aguilar was our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding day. She did an awesome job!! My husband and I had never done professional photos before, they can be kind of awkward, but Jennifer did a great job of setting us at ease and getting great shots (even in the rain!). She put together an amazing wedding blog with photos, it was so beautiful and still something I go back and read. On wedding day, Jennifer and her partner were working hard! They captured every special moment, down to the last detail. I love how Jennifer captured our special day, the day goes by so quickly, and the pictures are something we will treasure for a lifetime.

I had Jennifer Aguilar as my photographer for my wedding last December and she was the absolute best! She not only delivered amazing and beautiful photos but she made everyone extremely comfortable during the whole process! At the bridal shoot with my family, we had an absolute blast and she became part of the fam. She also has an incredible amount of patience (trust me, I had a GIANT wedding party and we wanted pics in the freezing cold!) Not only will you get an amazing photographer if you hire Jennifer, but you'll get an amazing new friend as well! I couldn't recommend Jennifer and the entire Lightly Photography team more! :)

5 stars don't even do Tracy and her team justice. BEYOND the BEST EVER! Tracy and her team (shoutout to our girl CJ!!) were not only the perfect addition to our special day, they completed our day. From our engagement photos, to bridal pictures, to rehearsal dinner pictures, to sneak peek pictures from our wedding day, Tracy and her team were with us throughout our engagement journey and into the beginning of our marriage. We could not be more happy and in love with all of our pictures. Not only are the photos bright, vibrant, lively, and full of beautiful lighting that only expert photographers can capture, but Tracy knew exactly the kind of pictures we were hoping for...not only the ones that perfectly captured the love, happy nerves, and over the moon feelings that Alex and I were experiencing as we began to realize we were married, but Tracy captured the most important and timeless memories Alex and I will ever have - she captured all of our loved ones, family, and friends celebrating alongside us as we said our vows and dancing the night away. Tracy isn't just your regular ol' photographer.. she was beebopping on the dance floor and on the stage with us capturing the joy and happiness we were all exuding. Whenever I look at our photos, I can vividly remember that moment and the conversations that were shared and the dance moves that were made. Tracy and team, you all are so dear to Alex and me. Thank you for making our wedding day oh so special, and for allowing us to relive that amazing, God-ordained, beautiful day over and over again through our pictures! We love y'all!!!

Annie was so great to work with! I'm SO IN LOVE with how the pictures turned out! She's so down-to-earth & I felt completely comfortable working with her. And I got my wedding pictures back lightning quick! My friends & family all told me how much they loved the photos & what a great job the photographer did. Thank you for the beautiful memories you captured for us!

I booked Tracy because I had always admired her work, but what I didn't know at the time was that her amazing photos were just a small reason why she is fabulous at her job. From our meeting at her studio to my bridal portraits to the very last picture she snapped of us - she made us feel completely at ease. Not only did she perfectly capture some of the dearest moments of our lives, she managed a large bridal party with professional composure, familiarized herself with our venue and ceremony site, and worked seamlessly with the other vendors to the point where I didn't ever feel distracted or overwhelmed. These were things that I didn't think of when originally booking a photographer - in hindsight, some of the things I mentioned are just as important as having great pictures at the end of the day. I was lucky that Tracy checked off all my boxes and more. Thank you Tracy and team for the way that you made us and our day feel special, and for celebrating us with so much love! We couldn't be more grateful! Work with Tracy and you won't be disappointed but rather your expectations will be exceeded!

I cannot say enough about how incredible Amanda was during my bridals and on the wedding day! During the consultation she took plenty of time to get to know my husband and I, and it made us feel very comfortable with her. I really think Amanda is a genius at what she does; she's so creative, the lighting in my photos is gorgeous, and she was very patient with posing. She captured every special moment of the wedding perfectly!

Where do I even begin?! The entire team at Lightly Photography is probably the most wonderful bunch out there! They were actually recommended to me by a family member, they had just done her wedding a year prior, best recommendation ever! My entire experience from booking and signing, to the actual wedding day and more, was both effortless and flawless! Karolina, in the office, was so wonderful to work with when it came to scheduling, reminders, questions, etc. The communication with her, and the entire team, was definitely top notch! Jennifer, my second photographer (for the wedding day), was just fabulous! She arrived at the groom’s “get ready” location to capture the dude moments the morning of, and the whole crew had nothing but positive feedback! Additionally, her hard work, helping hand, sweet and bubbly self was so pleasant during the ceremony and reception! Of course I had to save the best for last! My lead photographer, Annie Kercho! There aren’t enough words! Her personality, hard work, skills, knowledge, communication, professionalism and more is just hands down phenomenal! All three “events” (engagement shoot, bridal shoot, wedding day) with Annie were fun, light hearted, stress free and memorable. At my engagement shoot, she was about six months pregnant but let me tell you, if you think that hindered or interfered with anything, you’re way wrong. If there was a shot she wanted, she got the shot. Even if it meant getting down and dirty in the mud or on the basketball court! My bridal shoot was one for the books. I don’t think we stopped laughing the entire time! The wedding day she was outstanding. Everyone loved Annie! She is so easy to work with and her photography is out of this world. I would book with her and the team 1,000 times over again! I am so in love with all of my pictures! They are breath taking! If you’re looking for a photographer, this is where your search ends! I promise you will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything Annie and team!

We just received our entire Wedding Gallery and OH MY GOODNESS are we in love with our pictures!! Annie is an absolute DREAM. She knew exactly what shots to get when and was nothing but lovely and professional throughout the entire experience - engagement photos, prep photos, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception - absolutely AMAZING. Annie, Thank You so much for capturing our day so perfectly! We had an absolute blast. You are so talented! Rob and I are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with you and Lightly Photography.

We got to work with Tracy multiple times throughout our wedding process. She took our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding pictures. Every time working with her was amazing. She is a pro at what she does and captures so many special and meaningful moments. She is also so quick at getting people into the right poses and keeping the wedding day picture craziness moving. Tracy was also so much fun to work with and we both felt so comfortable with her and were able to truly enjoy every moment.

What an absolute pleasure to have Tracy capture, so beautifully, my daughter’s engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Her pictures are of the highest quality in all aspects and will allow us to relive and remember all of these special and meaningful moments. However, most importantly, Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work and spend time with. Her very nature provides an amazing warm and caring experience. Along with stunning pictures you will also treasure every minute of your time spent with Tracy. I cannot recommend her more!

Best decision we made was to hire Amanda with Lightly Photography. She was easy to communicate with and helped us incorporate our dogs in our engagement and wedding photos. Our wedding pictures came back last week and we are still in awe. They are absolutely perfect and I will definitely be hiring in the future for family photos. You will not regret your decision hiring Amanda!

I cannot say enough nice things about Lightly and Amanda! Without being able to express exactly what I wanted looking for in our wedding photographs, Amanda and her associate were able to capture such beautiful moments at our wedding! Amanda did an absolutely fabulous job at keeping us all together and in line, and made sure we did not miss any major photo opportunity. Amanda was great both at helping us have some wonderful engagement photos but also plenty of pictures from our wedding to choose from. It is incredibly hard to choose our favorites from our big day! They are the best for a reason!

The Lightly team did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos, they captured every moment perfectly and beautifully. Amanda was professional, kind, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. We didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING on the day of our wedding because we knew we were in such great hands. I’m so happy to have these stunning photos for the rest of our lives! Highly and happily recommend Lightly!!

Amanda and Lightly Photography are wonderful! We had Amanda take our engagement photos and wedding day photos and couldn't be happier. She was fun to be around and came up with some really creative photo ideas on top of the classic wedding shots. During our reception we even snuck outside to get some incredible shots downtown when no one else was around, and these turned out great! I definitely recommend everything about Lightly and Amanda - they were organized, punctual, and very professional throughout the whole process and even helped revamp our day of wedding schedule after we had a 100% chance of rain in our wedding day forecast. With her input, we switched up the locations and were still able to get the photos that I wanted even with the wet grass and rain. We also used the Lightly services to print our engagement photos into a guest book for our wedding, and that turned out better than we could have hoped for. This is a great company all around and I highly recommend using Amanda for your wedding pictures!

Tracy Autem has the innate ability to view ordain environments and see unique characteristics of that space that we otherwise miss. It is this, coupled with her receptivity to her subject(s) which creates an organic way of capturing those moments. It captures both the raw present moment that is unique to those images, as well as the purest essence of their story. I guess what I'm trying to say is, she is way better than the mall lady who used her grandma's curtain as the back drop for your 6th grade pictures that was developed at Walgreens!

Amanda at Lightly was a dream to work with! From the first meeting to the big day she was very attentive and made the process go so smooth! I appreciate her promptness and attention to detail. We love our pictures and are beyond happy!!!
