About This Vendor
Capturing Moments That Make You Feel
Based in Lynchburg, VA, Lilly Magnolia Photography is a wedding photography service. Lead photographer Lizzie Jacobson focuses her lens on authenticity in actions and emotions. Through her images, she wants you to relive every flash of feeling you experienced on your special day. Lizzie has lived with a camera in hand since her freshman year of high school. She worked on her school’s yearbook and practiced photography as a fun hobby. After years passed, she was motivated to turn this long-held pastime into a full-time career. Lizzie’s husband Austin helped to establish Lilly Magnolia Photography. This photographer’s skills have developed into a passion for capturing life’s most raw, magical moments. Lilly Magnolia Photography uses images to tell a story. Lizzie can document your relationship from the engagement through to the day after the wedding. She believes that your wedding pictures should say something about you and be authentic to yourself. To help this, she offers minimal direction and guides you with a series of prompts and light posing that might make you feel more at home in front of her camera. If you want additional help towards capturing every detail from every angle, Lizzie is happy to work alongside a second photographer. Your wedding day can unfold in front of you in an online gallery filled with emotion that can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.

I cannot rave about Lizzie and her business enough. Lizzie is a professional first, an incredibly cool human being second and lady-in-charge to top it all off. She knows her craft so well… if you don’t feel like you know how to pose or be photo...
genic, just listen to her cues and the photos will turn out better than you imagined. She photographed our engagement, rehearsal and wedding and each time was a rockstar. She is so cool and interesting and well rounded- a great follow on Instagram to keep up with what she’s doing personally and in her business. Lastly, when our wedding timeline got out-of-wack because transportation went awry, Lizzie took command. Her years of experience and her general wisdom helped to fix timing questions quickly. It took only TWO DAYS during BUSY season to get wedding previews. I can’t say enough good things about Lizzie. My sister and friends all want to use her and I can’t wait to do the same in years to come for pregnancy and family photos. Book now while you can!

I am so blown away by my wedding photos. Kaitlyn helped my husband and I find the perfect backgrounds for our couples portraits and really captured how perfect the day was. Lilly Magnolia Photography is definitely worth that price. You pay for ...

Any questions?
We had Kacey as our photographer, and she was an absolute dream! My husband and I hate being the center of attention, and were worried we would feel awkward in front of a camera all day, but Kacey made me feel at ease within the first few minut...
es. She followed our shots list, but also had us do fun spontaneous shots based on the location, and happened to catch special moments between us without us knowing as well. Can't recommend this vendor enough!

Tessa! Thanks so much! We enjoyed getting to capture your special day!
Lizzie was so quick to respond, and was extremely kind and professional in all of our correspondence. We went in another direction, but I thoroughly enjoyed communicating with her. She has a clear passion for weddings that I could feel in our c...
onsultation, which made me feel comfortable and excited. Her prices were very fair, and her style is so cute!
Lizzie and her team were great to work with! We had Lizzie do our engagement session, which came with our package, and she was great with helping pick a location and working with our schedule. We had our pictures back very quickly!
For our wed...
ding day, we had two of her associates, Katie and Tracey. Not only did they capture beautiful pictures, they really helped to calm me down and reassure me that everything would be alright when I had a major (to me) issue with my dress. I’m so grateful for their patience with me before our ceremony, it was the only thing I had to stress about the entire day. As soon as they arrived to the venue they set to work and didn’t stop until the night was over. They were so great to work with! Lizzie edited our photos and had our preview gallery sent to us within a week. Our full gallery was sent within the timeline promised. My new husband and I loved being able to look through the whole gallery and reminisce on our favorite day. I’d recommend Lizzie and her team to anyone looking for a photographer!

Dominique, it was a joy capturing so many special moments for y’all! Thank you so much for your sweet words. I am so happy you enjoyed your experience with us.
Lizzie truly is such a gem! From day one, she was extremely professional, passionate for what she does, and always was there to answer my questions. She was such a delight to work with and always had encouraging words to say when photographing ...
my husband and I. As it got closer to the wedding we discussed several "must have" pictures from the wedding day. She captured all of those and way more. I have gone back through all the pictures so many times because I have such trouble picking my favorites because all of them are truly beautiful and magical. Lizzie is such a joy and light in my life, and I am forever thankful that I chose her to photograph my wedding! I am thankful that she was a part of such a special time in my life and now a friend! I would recommend Lizzie/Lilly Magnolia to any Bride/Groom that is looking to have their special weekend captured beautifully and perfectly!

Lizzie was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding!! If you’re looking for a great photographer who’s both amazingly talented, has a great eye, and is generously affordable, I’d highly recommend working with Lizzie. Her and her lovely ...
assistant, Abbie, did such an incredible job capturing the wonderful and heart-felt moments that took place during our wedding day. Also, I want to commend Lizzie for convincing my husband and I to take pictures outside. It was around 30 degrees or so, and we originally wanted all pictures to be taken inside, but after viewing our gallery, I’m very PLEASED and GRATEFUL for Lizzie pushing us to take pics outside because they all turned out GORGEOUS, haha! Overall, so thankful to have had her part of our wedding experience, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer.
Lizzie was an amazing person to work with! She was quick to respond and helpful when planning out the timeline for picture taking. Lizzie and her assistant were friendly and calm even while it poured the rain throughout the day. We are obsessed...
with how our wedding photos turned out. I highly recommend Lizzie!!
If you want the perfect wedding photographer, don’t look any farther! Lizzie was the best photographer we could of ask for! She could not be more sweet. I took my heels off mid-engagement session and Lizzie gave me hers so I didn’t have to walk...
barefoot. Getting married during Covid added so much additional stress to wedding planning but Lizzie relieved a lot of that. She was quick to respond, flexible, and captured exactly what we wanted. She did our both our engagement and wedding photos. We got our gallery quickly and with so many pictures, SO MANY!
Lizzie was an absolute dream to work with. We were able to clearly communicate what we wanted out of our wedding photos through the questionnaire she sent us after we booked her. She even drove an hour a few weeks before the wedding to walk thr...
ough our venue with us and meet us to talk about what we were wanting. She arrived on time with her second shooter. They are both some of the sweetest people I’ve met and made us feel so comfortable on the day of. Lizzy took initiative and was able to direct groups of people so well for family photos. She had plenty of inspiration and creativity in the shots and worked quickly giving us plenty of time with our guests. We got our photos back in 8 weeks as discussed in our contract but also sent them too us as she edited them so it didn’t feel like long. Her website is easy to navigate to download photos once you get your full gallery. Overall, she is a great communicator and very professional. She captured our vision perfectly. I would recommend her to every one I know, whether it’s weddings, engagement, or family photos.
If if could give Lizzie a million stars on here, I would. She was absolutely amazing. From price, to engagement session, organization, communication, professionalism, etc etc. She is phenomenal. She takes all of what you envision for your weddi...

Hi, I'm Lizzie! I started learning how to operate a camera over a decade ago in high school while being apart of the yearbook team. Years later, my husband and I started Lilly Magnolia Photography in 2018. After shooting my very first wedding, I was in love with it all and I've been hooked on capturing all of the moments on a wedding day ever since! My favorite things to capture are the small and sentimental details and emotion between the exchanges of people. I want your images to be timeless and to feel like you!
