Our photographer, Stephanie, did a great job on our wedding day with taking lots of photos, posing us lots of different ways, and keeping things enjoyable with her upbeat personality!

We enjoyed our videography services! From the time I reached out for info, Kiara was welcoming, informative, & patient. She supported me & I was able to end the call by making a decision. Not only that, I was to use a promo code.
Leading up to our wedding, Gigi was very communicative. She asked important questions I didn’t think of, which was helpful in my preparation process. She then connected with our wedding coordinator, dj, & photographer. She even came to our rehearsal to offer guidance. We were her last wedding of the season, so she made sure to make it memorable.
Finally, Nora has been patient & helpful during the editing process. I can’t wait to see the final results after our edits have been made.
I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because we got our highlight video at the same time as our main video & since I wanted to edit both, we still can’t share the highlight video. It would’ve been nice to have this maybe a month (2 max) after our wedding to give a tease of what to look forward to.
I highly recommend Lily & Lime!

We used this company for our wedding, and this is the biggest regret from our wedding day. I know the saying is true, you get what you pay for but with so many good reviews I figured we found the diamond in the rough. Unfortunately, not.
Long story short the photographer “lost” a big portion of our photos. The portion that included the only family and sibling photos as well as all the individual bridesmaid/groomsmen photos we had from the day.
After noticing they were missing, we inquired and were strung along for months being told they were still being processed and we’d have them soon. After 3+ months of back and forth we finally received an apology and were offered a free photo book as a solution.
Now we are left without any photos with our siblings, or individual photos with our wedding party and can never get this day or these photos back.

Its been a MONTH and still haven't received a single photo.
Wish I would have paid attention to the turnaround time... I got the basic package 8hrs/1 photographer. I am sorry but a 6-8 week turnaround time is unbelievable especially when the photos is the only thing you really have to look back on.
I just called and sat on the phone for over 20 mins with no answer... wondering if Ill ever receive a photo from this company.

Our photographers were amazing; they listened to all of our requests and gave us great suggestions for shots. Even though it was POURING down rain we had over 3,000 photos to choose from :) We were lucky enough to be able to have a lead and associate photographer whom worked really well together. Our videographer was phenomenal as well! Customer service was readily available every step of the way and were quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. The platform to plan day of details helped me get organized and allowed me to create a schedule that everyone was able to follow :)

Lily and Lime Photography and videography was more than we could have hoped for. Our wedding was in another state than we live and not many family/friends had recommendations for local photographers in the area of our event. Enter Lily & Lime. We took a chance on an online ad and fell in love with what we saw. The process of selecting a photographer was so easy and we loved getting to look at available photographers portfolios. Looking at portfolios knowing they were available for our date was so helpful! When our wedding plans changed two weeks out from our date, they were extremely accommodating giving us an open postponement with no added fee. Then, when we had our new plans they switched things with no problem, and then when our plans had to change for a THIRD time they happily changed our event location, meaning hiring new photographers and videographer. They even gave us credit for purchasing photos because we had already paid a travel fee that no longer was needed. We are still trying to pick our photos to print because we love so many of them! Our videographer was absolutely amazing too; he took our desire for candid moments to heart and captured some really fantastic film. Even watching our highlight video gave me tears of joy. We HIGHLY recommend this company !

Wonderful to work with! We booked Lily & Lime back in 2019 before the pandemic, and we worked with them for two years until we were able to get married in 2021. Throughout the entire process their support, Nick in particular, was prompt, professional, and flexible.
Day of we had two photographers and one videographer. Robert, the lead, directed the event with style, and the resulting pictures really show it! They took full advantage of the venue to capture some unique shots rather than just going through the motions. It really felt as though our day was special to them, too.

This review is a long time coming. Last year July 11 2020 I had the pleasure of having Gabriel as our videographer and Troy as our photographer. They were amazing and that is an understatement! They went above and beyond to make sure I was ok and even helped with adjusting my veil on my head, cutting off the price tag on my wedding dress (lol), and pouring champagne for my bridesmaids and I. They were super friendly and when we were finally able to get our frames back from our wedding day…. I cried. The pictures came out so beautiful (despite the fact that I hated my makeup that day). Gabriel and Troy were able to capture all the beauty from our special day. Our wedding was originally suppose to be 120 guest and two different locations. But due to Covid :( we could only have about 24 guest all immediate family and a small ceremony in one location. Despite that they made me feel like I was getting married at the Taj Mahal! Lol They said such kind words to me and made me feel both beautiful and amazing on my wedding day. I wish they could see this because I always wanted to let them know how much I appreciated them !!!

This review is specifically Heidi. While I can't speak for the other photographers at Lily and Lime, Heidi was everything we hoped for in a photographer! She was easy to work with, friendly, flexible, and offered helpful direction. The lighting changed a lot throughout the afternoon due to unexpected weather changes, and she was totally up for the challenge. Also, our wedding was very small and casual due to COVID, and we didn't have a coordinator. Although it really wasn't her job, Heidi took initiative to keep the schedule on track and ensure we captured all the moments we wanted on camera before her time was up. She went above and beyond. The photos came out perfectly and we are so happy with them! Thank you, Heidi.

As it turns out, planning our own wedding was A TON of work! When it came to vendors, I didn't even want to have to think about a thing. Working with Lily & Lime was so easy and stress free from the lead up to the day of and the follow up. Our photographer, Amanda S., did a great job wrangling our families together for group shots and also managed to step back to candidly capture special moments. The photos are such a blast to go through to remind us of all the fun we had. I'd highly recommend Lily & Lime to anyone looking for a photography company that's both affordable and easy to work with.

I think my review was deleted which should tell you a little bit about the company.
I'll just say, we were a queer couple with queer relatives and we attempted to make sure all our vendors were okay with that and would be respectful. Our photographer was NOT queer friendly.
If you are part of the LGBTQ family, you may want to look elsewhere.

Lily & Lime was one of the best choices we made for our January wedding. Our photographer, Cherie, and the customer service rep, Chelsea, were wonderful to work with. I was nervous about what our experience would be simply because their prices are incredibly reasonable compared to all of the other photography companies I researched. My nervousness faded as I realized how detailed the planning documents were (without being overwhelming), and how quick and thorough customer service was in responding to any questions I had. We looked through the photographer's portfolios online and had trouble choosing because all of the photos were gorgeous! We went with Cherie because we loved her style of photos and she had amazing reviews especially about how comfortable she made her clients feel, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint! My husband and I are awkward posing for pictures, but you would never know it from the beautiful photos Cherie was able to capture. I would 100% recommend Lily & Lime. You will get great photos and save SO much!

We are a little more laid back, but after we picked our package and sent wedding plan, we didn't have to think about this vendor - they had it all handled on their own. We opted not to do engagement photos or anything before the wedding, so we didn't meet our photographer until the day of the wedding. Kachi and Daniel were amazing to work with, we had so much fun, and the results were better than all the other couples I know who spent way more than we did. They were just perfect, and we highly recommend on every level!!

Loved working with Lily & Lime, specifically Marta who was my photographer. I think everyone's experience really depends on the photographer chosen, but Marta was great. We spent about half an hour on the phone a few days before the wedding to make sure she was aware of everything for the day (her idea). And on the day of she was great at leading us to get the best photos, you can definitely tell this is something she's been doing for some time. A few days after the wedding and we've already gotten some "Editor's Choice" pics and they look amazing!! So happy and the price cannot be beat. I highly recommend Marta in the Chicago area.

My experience working with Lily & Lime was incredibly positive from start to finish! They were so attentive and helpful whenever I had any questions or wasn't sure about something! They were open to feedback and happy to give suggestions along the way. Our photographer was EXACTLY what we wanted! She did such a fabulous job, and was very good at directing my very distractible family members so we didn't leave anyone out! The assistant photographer and videographer were absolutely outstanding! I am SO excited to see our wedding video and how beautifully our Big Day was captured! I would absolutely recommend them :-)

We loved using Lily & Lime for our October wedding! We looked through their portfolios online and my husband and I both loved the style of photography. Jordan from Customer Support was extremely helpful in answering our questions. We also found the Wedding Planner and Guide extremely useful. Our photographer the day of was so kind, creative, professional, and open to our ideas. We got our photos back within a month, which I felt was very timely. We LOVE our photos - the photography style is what we were looking for and we were able to get all of the pictures we wanted. Overall, I highly recommend Lily & Lime for their affordability, quality, and professionalism!

We used Lily and Lime for our wedding and were very happy with the overall experience. We kind of waited to the last minute to book a photographer, but it was super quick and easy to book online with Lily and Lime. We lived outside of the main service area, so we had to pay an additional fee for travel, but it was still significantly less expensive than any other photographers we found, and the quality of the photos were great!
We'd recommend Lily and Lime to our family and friends!

We were really all-around impressed with Lily and Lime, and could not be happier with our choice. We originally felt very limited on the quality of photography we could get with our budget (especially with one of us starting grad school), but were ecstatic to find the options with Lily and Lime. Our photographer (Shaun: Raleigh, NC) was excellent, professional, and captured an amazing selection of images throughout our day. We also got to work with him for our engagement shoot, which gave a perfect opportunity to get familiar with him. Truly, the photographer was the one vendor that was most important to us, and we are so happy with the choice we made. Additionally, Lily and Lime offered thorough and friendly customer service (shout out to Nigel!) throughout the process, as well as an amazingly fast turn-around on our images. We may have lucked out by getting married in a bit of an off-season, but both our engagement and wedding photos were returned to us (fully edited) in just a couple of weeks! We also received "editor's choice" selections of a handful of images for each after only a few days.
Overall, our experience with Lily and Lime was overwhelmingly positive. As long as you take the time to look through the photographers' portfolios and pick one that you feel speaks to you/suits your personal style, I don't think you could go wrong here!

Okay, so as you can imagine, we were hesitant to book with an online company without meeting someone in person ahead of time...
We ended up taking a leap of faith since my sister and one of my best friends had used the service last year and were both happy with it---and we are so glad we did!
First, you choose the location of our event and find photographers in the area. Then, you can review each photographer's portfolio and book them for your event. They have various packages available so you can pick the one that works best for your needs/budget.
We loved the transparency of the service, and the interactive customer service we've received so far. All communication with the company is done via email, but they have been very responsive and we've had no issues.
The week of our engagement shoot, our photographer reached out and asked if we were still okay with the scheduled date since there was a chance of rain. He offered to push out the date a few days later so we could have sunshine, and worked with us on finding another date which worked well for our busy schedules.
We are so happy we didn't have to compromise between our budget, great photographer, and quality customer service!! Highly recommend!!!

The company was great and quick to respond to any and all questions we had. Our photographer was Bozena and she was very nice and patient with us making sure we had good posture etc. I was pleasantly surprised with how many photos she took.

Our photographers were amazing to work with. They were knowledgeable and helpful when we weren't 100% sure on where we wanted pictures at. They were quick to respond to questions and helped to make planning from out of state a breeze!

I got married in Brooklyn in August 2018 and hired a photographer, Raymond , through Lily and Lime. I went with Lily and Lime because of their affordable packages and because of convenience. Navigating the website was really easy, and it was also easy to reserve a photographer. Raymond was very professional and so positive throughout the day. I looked at his portfolio to choose him beforehand. I was able to have a conversation with him before the wedding. He was really great to work with! I would recommend Lily and Lime especially if you are looking for an affordable photographer and don’t need that much contact with the him or her before booking. It worked out well for us!

Lily & Lime is a great choice for wedding or event photography. Their customer support staff responds quickly to inquiries, their online platform is user friendly, and their photographers are professional.
Our photographer, Violeta, went above and beyond to capture the important moments of our wedding. She interacted well with the guests and was able to direct people into poses quickly and politely. We have no regrets about our choice to go with Lily & Lime!

Lily and Lime was FANTASTIC!
Overall: They were incredibly easy to work with. You can pick your photographer based on who is available that day. Before your wedding, you have to fill out what you expect your timeline to look like for the photographer to prepare. Our photographer called us the week before to get a more detailed timeline and the day of the wedding she was on top of it! She took pictures of anything and everything and we are so very grateful to have found her using this service.
Budget: The amount you pay is based on the time you want, not the name of the photographer. There was no guesswork in pricing. It was easy picking the photographer right for our wedding without being worried if they were within budget.
Turnaround time: I have heard from several people that have waited over a year to get their wedding photographs back. I feel with Lily and Lime there was a nice middle person to make sure we got what we needed in a timely manner.
If you don't have a specific photographer you want to work with, this is the best route you can go.

If you know don't know where to start with wedding photography, Lily & Lime should be your FIRST stop. They have a wonderful online platform that allowed me to let them know what kind of photography experience my wife and I wanted to have on our special day. The photographer was professional and friendly and did an amazing job taking pictures. However, I wish the photographer was more creative and captured more than what we asked for.

Best deal I found for photographer. You'll get what you pay for. Had some problem with the first photographer, however, customer service was very responsive on resolving the problem. Glad we got to work with Sarah for our engagement and wedding shots, she's very friendly and make our photo sessions very comfortable!

My husband and I were a little hesitant to work with Lily & Lime given the “hands-offness” of the photography crew up until the wedding week but we loved the price L&L offers compared to going direct to the photographer/videographer. The Lily & Lime process and platform was straight forward and if we were ever confused or had questions L&L support team was on it. The automated emails along the way if/when there are specific actions that need completed in a timely manner were helpful.
CHOSING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROCESS. Do some online stalking of your photographer to make sure you like them beyond the information L&L gives you ( first name, picture, small portfolio). Cross reference the internet for that photographer’s name in the area you’re searching and review their individual reviews on the other wedding sites since most of L&L reviews are on L&L process and not the photographer you may or may not chose. The thing about L&L is that you don’t interact with your photographer until a week before the wedding. The week before the wedding is probably one the craziest weeks of your life, so my one area of improvement is to allow the couple to engage with the photographer a little sooner. Although I understand why it’s structured this way, it makes it a little more crazy if you don’t opt for engagement photos to interact with your photographer sooner.
The week of your wedding you'll receive your photographer's contact info and if they’re good (like ours was) they’ll reached out to you to introduce themselves and discuss the important parts of your wedding and certain shots you’d like to capture. We received our photos and video very promptly as promised and they’re wonderful. Overall we are pleased with the service, product, and our photographer, especially for the value and price.

Lily & Lime was a cost effective way for us to get our wedding photography and we were very pleased! I really liked the photographer we picked through them as well and the customer service reps were super as there were a few minor snags that needed to be fixed along the way.
