Jennifer is so talented and is such a breeze to work with! She truly captured every special moment of our wedding. We are so pleased with how the photos turned out! Jennifer and the team at Lightly are a no-brainer when selecting a photographer for your wedding - do not hesitate on booking this amazing team!
This team did an incredible job! Amanda captured every special moment and sent me a lot of the photos within days of the wedding. She was so patient and kind throughout the whole process, and I love how all the photos turned out!
Wow! I cannot say enough kind words about Lightly / Tracy Autem Photography (I technically booked with Lightly, but they are doing a rebrand and moving all wedding content under the Tracy Autem Brand). Not only are my photos BEAUTIFUL & natural, she sent me the WHOLE collection in only 3 weeks! On top of that, I got many compliments from my wedding party about how Jennifer was the kindest, most professional, and most flexible wedding photographer they had ever seen. Jennifer could not have done a better job capturing and supporting us throughout our entire Wedding Day!
Tracy & her team are AMAZING! They captured our wedding day so beautifully and were the best people to work with. Tracy had us feeling so comfortable in front of the camera. Highly highly recommend Tracy & her team for your wedding day 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!!!
We had Lindsey as our photographer and she was amazing!! Went with the flow so well you hardly knew she and her assistant were there but they got all the shots we wanted plus so many more! The photography is incredible, they had no issue with the different lighting in each room and the design and effort put into every shot was truly amazing artwork! I can’t thank them enough for these wonderful photos! I would highly recommend to anyone! Will be using them again for any photography work!
Photography was super high on our priority list, and I am so incredibly happy we decided to work with Annie at Lightly Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures! Annie was stellar- she helped make our schedule and was super helpful and informative throughout the planning process, and on the wedding day not only did she keep our large (and fairly rambunctious) wedding party in line and on schedule, she pinned on boutonnieres, helped bustle my dress, and kept me feeling relaxed. She put up with weird requests, rowdy groomsmen, our huge families, schedule changes, and more without even batting an eye.
On top of all of that, she captured our wedding day beautifully- she caught so many moments we missed or didn't remember, and captured the emotions of the day so well. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled to have such a perfect record of one of the best days of our lives. She knocked it out of the ballpark for our engagement pictures as well! She's still the only person I know who's managed to get my dog to look right at her for a picture.
Annie's work is stunning and she and the rest of the Lightly team are a delight to work with. I cannot recommend them enough!
Lindsey was our primary photographer and was wonderful! She managed to get in all my requested shots, plus additional ones in a shortened time schedule and in July heat! She also had a ridiculously quick turn around time on the pictures and they look fantastic!
Annie Kercho with Lightly Photography did both our engagement session and our wedding day and she was absolutely amazing. She made something that my husband and I both hate - taking photos - into an amazing and wonderful experience. We loved every second of both days and the photos came out incredible. If I could give her and Lightly 6 stars, I would!!!
Our most important wedding vendor was a photographer which created a lot of pressure to find the perfect one and one that both my husband and I felt comfortable with. We met with a couple of different photographers prior to finding Tracey Autum Photography. We met with Tracey and felt she was just a tad more than we budgeted for, so she recommended Amanda.
Amanda is literally the best gift for any bride. She seriously is absolutely amazing in every single way possible. Let me tell you why:
• She is professional. All my emails were responded to in a timely manner
• She dressed professionally our venue
• She has a personality that is a burst of joy. Our guests said our photographers were the best and blended in with the rest of the people.
• For our engagement session we had a blast getting to know Amanda.
• On the day of the wedding, Amanda literally saved the day! Our wedding planner wasn’t on top of it and important details were behind (floral was late, guests didn’t know where to go, we weren’t sure when the groom was coming) and she stepped right up to coordinating when needed. She calmed me down and just made me smile when we needed it. Following the wedding, she followed up to make sure that I talked with the vendors of concern.
• Even though she photographs multiple couples, we still felt special. She sent a book prior to the wedding to help us prepare for wedding and also sent a canvas picture following.
• Our pictures were provided in a timely manner and the pictures captured all the emotions of the day.
If we could do it all over again, we would chose Amanda. We decided from this point forward she will be our family photographer. I promise if you book with Lightly Photography and Amanda you won’t regret your decision and will be thankful you spent the extra money on it.
Jennifer is wonderful! Jennifer just completed my Bridals this past Friday in 100 degree heat with a smile on her face the entire time! She is wonderful, helpful, patient and kind. I do not have my pictures back yet of course but just her professional attitude made the day great! She did it all! I am super excited and I will post something more once I get the pictures back! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
We hired Lightly Photography for our wedding and I’m so happy we did! We live out of town so we did all of our planning via email or phone and Annie was so helpful! I emailed her so many questions and she always had the answers! We did our engagement pictures with Amanda and they were beautiful! I love them! Annie was very sweet and professional on the wedding day. It was a super hot day in June so she worked fast to keep us and the wedding party out of the heat which I appreciated so much! We also had some rowdy groomsmen and Annie did a great job rounding everyone up and getting them to behave for pictures 😂 I’ve only seen a sneak peak of my wedding pictures so far and I loved what I saw! Her attention to detail and light is truly beautiful!
I cannot recommend Lightly Photography and ANNIE enough!!! Annie was so kind and professional throughout everything. She is the most delightful person to spend 8 hours with. She also has given us the most wonderful wedding photos - and I am not just saying that. Many friends and family members have gone on and on about how lucky we are to have had Annie. She just knows how to capture the most beautiful moments. She also provided us with our photos weeks before we expected. Love her and the entire Lightly team!
Annie took my bridal portraits, engagement photos, and wedding photos! She is so sweet and easy to work with and did an amazing job! She makes you feel comfortable. Loved getting to work with her!
Amanda took our wedding photos and did an outstanding job! I have gotten so many compliments on her pictures! It's amazing to know that our wedding day will always be preserved with these gorgeous photos! Highly recommend Amanda to anyone and everyone!
Tracy Autem - you are amazing and your work is incredible! We hired Tracy to do our engagement pictures, my bridals and our wedding day and I cannot say enough great things. We got our wedding pictures back last week and I've looked at them at least 15 times. I have received SO many compliments on how GREAT her work was and how she took so many good shots. People won't stop talking about our pictures and every time it makes me smile!
Tracy was so great to work with. She is the friendliest and happiest person you will meet. She is so much fun to work with and always made us feel so comfortable. We had a lot of questions leading up to our big day with scheduling, what pictures to take, timing, etc. and she was so patient answering everything and making it work. She was a great help with both of our moms as well assuring we would get everything done.
Photography is a definitely a big investment and not something I was going to take lightly. It was the #1 item / vendor on my list to book from the beginning as photos are one of the few things to could take with you from your wedding day. I interviewed / talked with probably 6-8 photographers and am so happy I chose Tracy - her professionalism, friendliness, quality (and quantity) of pictures, everything was just perfect. She turns pictures around very quickly as well which is another added bonus. Choosing Tracy and her team as your photographer would be one of the best choices you could make throughout your wedding planning. Remember, the pictures stay with you for a lifetime, so you'll want an amazing photographer like Tracy :) It is well worth the investment. Thank you Tracy, Annie and Team for everything you did for us!
Lightly photography is AMAZING! Amanda took incredible engagement photos for us and was amazing at our wedding. My family is loud and parties HARD. Amanda was able to get people out of the way (professionally haha) in order to continue getting pictures of me and my husband. She is a great at giving instructions and always has the right words to say so that you don't feel silly or awkward. We cannot wait to get our wedding photos back. I am confident they will be amazing! :)
Annie from Lightly Photography did our engagements and wedding day photos, and OH MY GOODNESS she is AMAZING! Hiring Annie was one of the best decisions we made. The pictures she took are absolutely gorgeous! Choosing which pictures to print is almost impossible because they're all amazing! Not only is Annie incredibly talented and has a great eye for what looks good in pictures, but she is such a joy to work with! Whoever you hire, you'll be spending one of the most important days of your life with them, and I am so glad Annie was there for us! She was so great in directing family/friends in pictures, making sure we weren't bombarded with arriving wedding guests when taking our bridal party pictures before the wedding, and giving us time during the first look and after the wedding to be alone together and really soak it all in! We loved everything about working with Annie and can't say enough good things about her!
Tracy and her team are amazing! She is so talented and knows exactly what moments you'll want captured the most. She and her associate, Annie, did an absolutely stunning job on our photos! From candids to formal photos, we are so happy with every photo they took! Tracy and Annie were amazing day-of and put up with our crazy shenanigans! We could not be more thankful for their incredible work and skill!
We used Amanda with Lightly Photography for our wedding this past June. She was absolutely AMAZING!!! Lightly Photography was very well priced, even with their travel cost for 2 photographers down to College Station, Texas. Amanda took my bridals in Dallas and I knew immediately how much I was going to love the pictures. She was so professional and yet fun to work with and really captured my personality. My bridals turned out SUPERB! On our actual wedding day Amanda and Annie were fantastic. They captured all of the big moments and so many little moments. I had multiple girls in my wedding party comment on how great they were because every time I turned around there was Amanda or Annie. They made sure they were always there capturing dance floor pictures or pictures of me and my guest. After the wedding Amanda put a sneak peak of her favorites on the Lightly Photography blog and Facebook, as well as creating us a short video from our wedding day. It was all so perfect! Lightly Photography made it so easy for us! Pictures were one of my primary concerns and where I would have spent more money, if needed, to make sure I received excellent quality pictures. Lightly Photography blew away my expectations! I was thoroughly impressed with everything and would highly recommend them to anyone!
Tracy and her staff are incredible!! Tracy worked with us on an engagement shoot, bridal portraits and our wedding. She was so creative and helpful when thinking of a unique location for our engagement photos - a charming bookstore in Ft. Worth - that suited us perfectly. Tracy made us feel so at ease in front of the camera! Her professionalism especially showed through on our wedding day when the weather through us a curve ball and we had to make some last minute changes before the ceremony. She stayed with us the entire time, capturing each moment and keeping us calm and focused. Tracy does beautiful work and its clear that she really cares about each client. It was truly a treat to work with her!
When it came to choosing our photographer, it was a no brainer to go with Tracy Autem. She photographed my sisters wedding and did a fabulous job, so she was one of the first vendors I booked. I had a large wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen) and also a large family, she did a great job wrangling everyone for photos. Most importantly though, her photos are top quality. I haven't seen any others that compare. Photography quality is definitely something you don't want to skimp on & she delivered 100%. She's also really great to work with!!
Choosing our photographer was one of the first decisions we made after we got engaged since we knew the top photographers usually book up fast. I had seen Tracy's work in a magazine and decided to try Lightly Photography due to availability. As with our engagement pictures, when the wedding pictures came back there were only a handful we really loved and the majority we just liked. I feel like over the course of the 10 hours of the day, 2 photographers, and the money we were spending, there should have been twice as many photos then were taken in my opinion. Also, I feel like some of the angles the photos were taken from were just not flattering at all..I mean I understand I am my worst critic but I just felt in seeing some photos that were spot on- why were there not more taken like that for the portraits of my husband and I. Its hard to feel sad or dissapointed about your photos since its the day that matter the most, but I definitely would have changed a few things or spoken up more to see pictures as they were being taken. maybe have gone with Tracy herself.
Can't say enough great things about Tracy! I loved her take charge attitude and ability to read the situation at both our engagement photos and actual wedding ceremony/reception. Pictures we've received back so far turned out BEAUTIFUL and we received many compliments. Thanks, Tracy!
I had Amanda and Sarah at my wedding and they were phenomenal! They got every picture I wanted and did a wonderful job of capturing the moments! They were quick getting the pictures back to us. I would highly recommend using them!
This was from back in 2011. I was excited after seeing the engagement photos. However, the Bridals and Wedding Day photos were disappointing. I loved all my other vendors, but I regret splurging on Lightly Photography. I believe our photographer missed priceless photos. The "you may kiss the bride photo" was not captured. I do think she is overall a good photographer, but she was having an off day and it showed in her work. Now we can never get those photos. If I could go back an do it again, I would use a different wedding photographer.
After interviewing a few photographers in the Fort Worth area for our wedding, there was no question we were going with Sarah Rizy and Lightly Photography. She is flexible, energetic, and has a great eye for what she does. Sarah and her partner took 2 different vantage points of every important moment of our wedding day. Sarah took all of the photos we asked for and captured all of the spontaneous special moments of the day. She was great at blending into the background. We have had so many compliments on our wedding pictures and my bridal portraits. We will be proud to show this photography to our friends and family for generations to come. Thank you again for your wonderful photographs! Caitlin & Brian Sauter 11-2-13
Working with Amanda was fantastic. It was a pleasure and the photos came out just beautifully! My husband and I are in the Air Force and stationed in Ohio but our wedding was in Fort Worth. Because of this we couldn't make in to town for an engagement shoot so they modified the package to come and take photos of our Rehearsal Party which was wonderful! The Lightly Photography team was fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone!
Sarah Rizy and Amanda did an awesome job at the wedding ceremony and reception taking pictures of everything. The pictures are beautiful and pricess.
So great to work with. Very professional, friendly, and organized. Made the entire process easy! Beautiful work! I will use her again and again for other photo needs as well!
We had the pleasure of working with Amanda for our April 2013 wedding. She was friendly and professional from start to finish, and really took the time to understand my husband and my personality so she could capture our engagement & wedding in the most personal light possible. She offered tons of ideas to create the best portfolio of pictures, and really captured the love and excitement surrounding our big day. I could not imagine our wedding events being captured more beautifully then what she did, and would absolutely recommend her to any couple getting married in the DFW area! She is just a doll and so fun to work with - and her work speaks for itself about how much she loves what she does. She's the best!
