Lillie was the perfect photographer for our wedding day! From the first day I met Lillie I knew that her down to earth, fun-loving personality, was a great match for us as a couple and the tone that we wanted to set for our wedding. Little did ...

I know how essential it was that she put us at ease so that we would feel comfortable on the day (and at the engagement session) so that the photographs would represent our true selves. And then this translated to the photographs of our family and guests. From the pre-planned family portraits to all of the non-posed photos throughout the day, Lillie brought the most important day to life, for eternity. Her description at our initial meeting was that she aimed to feel like a friend at the wedding and that’s exactly what she was. Having Lillie and her assistant photographer with us before the wedding, at the ceremony and on the dance floor, capturing the reception, was an invaluable part of a day that goes by way too fast! But when I received the digital photo album, it all came to life again! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Any questions?

I honestly can’t recommend Lillie enough. From the first time we met in person I could tell she was going to be more than just a wedding photographer. Lillie cared about every detail and wanted to get to know me and my husband, and make our day...

special. Lillie is hilarious and our whole family and guests loved having her and Georgiana there. Lillie is kind, funny, thorough, punctual, and always there to answer questions. She made our wedding day feel easy and we had so much fun through the evening. Her photos are absolutely stunning, I am blown away with how beautiful her pictures are. We can’t thank and recommend Lillie enough!!!

I am incredibly happy with the service Lillie provided. She did our engagement photos and we hired her to photograph our wedding as well. It ended up that she needed to bring on some other photographers for the day of our wedding because she ne...

eded to go on maternity leave. I so appreciate her communication through all of the process. She didn't leave us out in the cold to find a new photographer, she brought on a team that she had experience with and knew they would provide the same quality service we wanted. Then Lillie edited all of our photos. You can't expect everything to go as planned on the day of your wedding, but having vendors thay understand the stress your under and communicate openly when things don't go as planned and still want to provide the best service possible really helps with the stress of the day. Georgie and Alex were fabulous to work with on the day of! Thank you!!

ivity and encouragement for us, helping us to come out of our shells in front of the camera. The ultimate hype-woman, something I never knew I needed for our wedding day. Lillie was on her game from day one; promptly responding to emails/texts, making time to go over details with me, and helping guide the timeline process to help our day go smoothly. She worked with us to make a package that fit our needs and our short timeline (we had a large wedding with only 4 months planning time). AND THE PHOTOS! I can’t even begin to express how incredible our photos are. Our friends and family have been gushing over her personality and skills for months now. Don’t wait on booking this creative gem!

Owner

My name is Lillie and I am a classically trained artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and concentration in photography. I started my photography business straight out of college, and have fallen in love with what I do, and how my work has evolved over the past ten years. I keep things as relaxed- yet professional- as possible by maintaining that my clients are comfortable and laughing, and making sure my role is an asset to the wedding day experience instead of an additional task on a check list. I'm a passionate art-lover, and at the end of the day, that is the essence of my photography.
