We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Lillie as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly, easy-going, and a joy to work with. Her relaxed yet professional approach helped put us at ease, and it was clear that she was deeply committed to capturing every beautiful moment from our special day.
Lillie’s proficiency as a photographer is simply unmatched. She, along with her second photographer Georgie, seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. Many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the way Lillie and Georgie seemed to cover every angle and detail seamlessly.
Not only did they work efficiently, but they also collaborated so well with our videographer and the other vendors. It was amazing to see how smoothly they coordinated with everyone involved, including the venue staff, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch.
Most importantly, the photos turned out absolutely stunning. Every shot was beautifully composed, and they truly captured the joy, love, and essence of our day. We are beyond grateful to Lillie for giving us these memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer for their big day!
I am so grateful to Lillie for the photography for our wedding on 11.9.2024. Lillie perfectly balanced being an artist and thinking about our experience on the day. Leading up to the wedding, she was so organized and communicative – she made it so easy for us and was so patiently walking through everything and taking our input. On the wedding day, she was creative and flexible – from moving family photos to under the glorious chuppah, to catching the early sunset. She was so perceptive to our emotions and stamina that day. I confided in her how I can get nervous as the center of the attention and she was so understanding and supportive – she took a more documentary approach and I had a blast. It was clear she really cared about us personally – it felt like I was working with a friend. She is one now!
Lillie got our sneak peek photos to us within a week and we are absolutely blown away. She captured the perfect subtle moments – they somehow all looked candid and like a fairy tale. When I saw the photos I thought, “I’ll look back on these one day and think, this is when I was young and beautiful”. Lillie gave me that gift!
My fiancé and I just got our engagement photos back from our session with Lillie and we are so so happy with them! Lillie made us feel really comfortable and gave great directions, and that really came through in the photos. She will be shooting our wedding next year and I can’t wait!
Any questions?
Lillie was able to capture our wedding day in the most authentic way imaginable. She truly is a master at her craft. Some of the shots we've seen so far have brought us to tears because of the raw emotion she was able to capture. She was flexible and encouraging throughout our day which made everything even better. We are so thankful to have those memories now captured forever for us to look back on.
Working with Lillie was an absolute pleasure to say the least! We first met Lillie for our engagement shoot (which came out gorgeous) and we knew we had chosen the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She was warm and welcoming, made us feel comfortable, and knew exactly what poses we should do to capture beautiful moments. Lillie’s timeline and communication with us and our venue during planning was spot on. Our wedding day came and we were not surprised with how PERFECT our photos came out. Lillie and Georgie were amazing. They captured pictures we will cherish for a lifetime, with all of the people we love, on one of the most special days of our lives… They made us laugh, ensured the champagne was poppin’, and lead us through to each moment along the day. Although it was an extremely hot day in July, they made sure we didn’t manage to melt and were so creative in every way possible. They were agreeable to all the boys silly photo requests, and knew exactly when it was time for the bride to get inside and outta the heat (lol). Throughout the night, they continued to amaze us with all of the beautiful quality details they captured for us to look back on. The smiles, tears, laughs, dances, kisses, LOVE in the room… You can feel it in every picture. We’ll look back on these photos in years to come and remember exactly what that day felt like. We couldn’t have imagined choosing anyone else for our wedding day. We hope to hire Lillie again in the future for anytime we want absolutely beautiful photographs!! Thank you again Lillie ❤️❤️❤️ RC/RC
Lillie is a wonderful, wonderful photographer. She shot our wedding and an engagement session - both photo albums we received are absolutely stunning. (This is coming from a person who usually does not like photos of herself!) My husband and I were both a little nervous to be in front of the camera at our engagement session, but Lillie helped guide us through our initial awkwardness with ease. The wedding day was no different - Lillie is truly great at what she does; capturing candid and authentic moments as well as thoughtfully posed shots that don't feel stiff. She is also a fun and bubbly person to be around in general! We're so glad Lillie was our photographer and would highly recommend hiring her for your photography needs.

Carrie & Freddy, thank you so much for this sweet review! You were both such a pleasure to work with and I truly enjoyed your garden-themed wedding! Every detail was thought out, and the entire day was magical. Those porch photos came out so et...
hereal!! Thank you for letting me capture your day!
We are so happy that we found Lillie & could not be happier with her work. It was important to us to find a photographer who not only captured great photos, but would be fun to work with. To say the least, Lillie & Georgie delivered - my husband & I, along with our bridal parties and families, had so much fun throughout the day and we received many comments in the days following the wedding about how great our photographers were. And of course, the photos are incredible - Lillie & Georgie captured so many candid moments of us and the gallery we received went above & beyond our expectations. We ended up adding a couple hours to our day so they could capture more of the reception, which was entirely worth it - the pics from the dance floor are some of our favorities! We cannot thank Lillie enough and would highly recommend her!

Lillie is amazing, she made the whole process so easy, from our initial call with her, to the day of our wedding! She had myself, my husband all our family and friends laughing all day long. And the photos are stunning! Lillie and Georgie captured all the fun, love and silly candid moments of our special day! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, you will not be disappointed by her professionalism, attention to detail and wonderful personality!

Sarah, thank you for such a heartfelt review! I had the best time capturing your incredible NYC wedding, and your family and friends were some of my favorite families to date. Great clients help make the best pictures!
Lillie was a pleasure to work with during our engagement and wedding photo shoots. Her warmth made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she has a great artistic eye. Georgie was wonderful, as well! We're thrilled with the photos from our wedding day. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Martha & Neill! Your families were lovely to work with and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful couple to capture!
Lillie is a spectacular wedding photographer and it was so much fun working with her! As a bride, I was getting nervous and prior to the ceremony and she melted those nerves away with her fun loving personality. You definitely need a photographer who will be your cheerleader throughout the day and understands your vision. Her photos are incredible and she truly has an eye for her craft. She is a pure photography genius!

Meredith, your words mean so much to me! You and Rich were absolutely wonderful to work with, and I am thrilled I was able to capture your big day for both you and your families!
Lillie is the absolute best!!! She captured our engagement photos and our wedding day and I cannot recommend her enough. It is obvious she loves what she does and it shows in all the pictures she takes. She’s organized, and on time. And most importantly she makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and captures everyone’s natural beauty !!!
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.
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 needed 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!!
We couldn't be happier with the photography for our wedding. The photos themselves are beautiful and Lillie got all of the shots that we wanted. Lillie was great with helping us pose and organizing people for the group photos. She was friendly and professional and we would highly recommend!
Hire Lillie NOW. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not hesitate. She is the absolute best - our photos are gorgeous, AND she makes the process comfortable and fun! Lille did our wedding photos as well as a family photo shoot with our new baby (and our dog!), and we were thrilled with both. She was hands-down one of our best decisions of any kind for our wedding.
Lillie was INCREDIBLE! From the moment we decided to work with her, she was nothing but positive, responsive, excited and accommodating. On our wedding day, she jumped right in and captured every special moment. She truly felt like a friend from the start! Our photos came out beautifully - her technique and editing captured the vibe of the day perfectly. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Thank you, Melissa! You know I'm a sucker for the magic of Christmas, and your day was MAGICAL! That dining room and that decor was to die for!! Thank you, Melissa and Eddie!! xoxo
You MUST hire Lillie! From her photos, Lillie’s talent and artistic abilities speak for themselves. But from our first conversation, I knew Lillie was a special person and had to have her as our photographer. She was instantly a source of creativity 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!

Oh my gosh, Nicole! You're going to make me cry! Thank you so much for the lovely review and for loving my work as much as I loved working with both you and Joe! I mean, it was pretty hard NOT to take great photos on that carousel! xoxo
We can't say enough amazing things about Lillie. She was so patient with us throughout the planning process and so professional, upbeat, and fun on the wedding day. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! Would *highly* recommend Lillie to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture both the intimate and major wedding moments.

Thank you, Michal! Your day was so special and filled with culture. The unveiling of the bride was such a phenomenal moment and I cannot believe I had the honor of photographing it! xoxo
Lillie is so knowledgeable, professional, and creative. She made sure to get all of the shots we wanted, plus ones we didn't even know we wanted, all in a reasonable amount of time. She scouted out the best locations at our venue for creative shots that came out amazing. These photos are classic, and will last a lifetime. Thanks Lillie!!

Thank you Marjaun! I feel like I'm family now haha. It's always the greatest compliment when families continue using my services through their years, and it's the greatest pleasure to watch my client's families grow!!!
It was such a pleasure working with Lillie. We felt like she was family, and she made our day so comfortable. She also listened to what we needed/requested. And her pictures speak for themselves. They are amazing. We can't recommend her enough!

Thank you SO much Kady!!
Lillie is a photog queen, for sure! I had the pleasure of meeting Lillie as the second photographer at my wedding. It was such a joy to have her there! Every time I looked up, there she was, contorting herself to make sure she got the perfect shot! She was so much fun to talk to and her photos are breathtaking.
Amazing work! She is puntual, quickly responds to all questions, her work is wonderful, and is a pleasure to work with. We had our wedding a month ago, and she was just fantastic. She was a pleasure to work with. I am so pleased with our pictures. She captured our special day with the amazing details and all of the love that was there. We are incredibly pleased with Lillie.
Wowwwww... Using Lillie Fortino Photography was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning!!! We were skeptical at first because photography can get really expensive and we didn't want to make the wrong decision. Lillie has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. There were limited cheesy smiles because she captured genuine moments of joy. When we look through our photos it brings back a flood of emotion from our special day. Our friends are all jealous because not only do we have beautiful photographs of our wedding but they are also very artistic. Lillie is an artist first and a photographer second. She has a keen eye for detail and it shows in her final product. We would recommend Lillie and her team to anyone who is looking for natural looking artistic photographs. We are looking for any excuse to have another photoshoot with Lillie! We can't thank you enough!!!!
Lillie is an amazing photographer and so easy to work with! She had great ideas and truly has your best interests in mind. She was great to work with leading up to the big day, incredibly responsive and thoughtful. The pictures came out perfectly and we couldn't be happier :)
Thank you Lillie!!!
Lillie will capture your day in a way that you envision it but also in ways that you would have never thought to. She's a great photographer who really takes the time to get to know you and everyone involved in the shoots. Our wedding was captured in a round about way that has everyone still raving about the photos!

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.
