We are still basking in the afterglow of our wedding on June 16th, 2024, and we simply had to share how profoundly grateful we are for the incredible work of our photographer and videographer.
From the very first interaction, their professionalism and genuine enthusiasm made us feel at ease. They took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and the unique aspects we wanted to highlight on our special day. Their commitment to capturing every precious moment was evident from start to finish.
On the big day, their presence was nothing short of magical. They seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid shots that truly reflected the joy, love, and spontaneity of the day. Whether it was the intimate glances shared during our vows or the jubilant celebration with our guests, their ability to document these moments with such authenticity was remarkable.
The quality of the photos and videos exceeded all our expectations. Each image tells a story, perfectly balancing artistic flair with genuine emotion. The video beautifully weaves together the day’s highlights, allowing us to relive every cherished moment as if it were happening all over again.
What truly stood out was their attention to detail and their unwavering dedication. They worked tirelessly, often going above and beyond to ensure no moment was overlooked. Their passion for their craft is evident in every frame and clip, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
We’ve received countless compliments on our wedding photos and video, and it’s all thanks to their extraordinary talent and hard work. They’ve given us a timeless collection of memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a team that will capture your special day with heart and expertise, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend their services and are beyond grateful for the unforgettable moments they preserved for us.
Thank you, Natalie (Photographer) and Anthony (Videographer), from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so beautifully memorable!

I was not pleased at all with the vendor but the photographer was really good we haven’t get our pictures yet but as far as her professionalism I was very happy about it, we had to change the wedding date and we ask if the photographer was available for the new date and they confirmed she was to later charge us $300 fee for the inconvenience of changing the dates when it was not going to affect the photographer at all, later o. We found out that money was For the vendor and not the photographer, he has no idea that had happened. Our venue and church were more pricey and they had no problem accommodating our new date T no charge. Lili and Lime you need to do better, weddings are already crazy expensive, we don’t need to spend more than what we already do

3 stars actually is for the photographer herself for being awesome and helpful with all the guides on poses on our wedding day. "Very affordable, unlimited locations, choose your own photographer" - a signature slogan that is too good to be true kind of deal, but this statement "you get what you paid for" NEVER FAILS, even in this business. $8.5 per 4x6 photo print with the editing "promised," which only means centering and cropping that you can do yourself on a computer in Paint photo editing tools. The turn-around time was too quick for me (8 hours) to believe they actually did any editing at all on the raw files (or digital negatives). If you know how to use basic settings in Lightroom and turn their raw files into amazing photos, hire this vendor. If not, pay a little bit more for another vendor that will actually spends time and edits their own raw files. So disappointed with the prints and time-consuming to fix the raw files...

Jaquline A was my photographer, and she was so easy to work with. I had some ideas for shots that she got, but she saw things I didn't and did some of her own. Honestly, we're kind of a boring couple, but she saw ways to make some creative shots. She knew how to position us and how to keep our smiles natural. She was fast and efficient to took every moment to get those shots. It was really windy on that day, and she took the weather into consideration and found a nice spot to do pictures inside. She even called me a couple days before the wedding to learn more about what I was wanting.

Jamaal was so amazing during our whole wedding! My guests loved him as well. He captured so many amazing moments, I could not have asked for a better photographer for such a special day. He's so easy going and fun. Will definitely recommend Lily and Lime for the affordable price and Jamaal for his amazing work! The ceremony was outside in Feb, he utilized so much of our surroundings and made it beautiful with what we had to work with for a DIY wedding.
I didn't give the extra star because of the website. Only downside of Lily and Lime is the "Wedding - my package login to pay", "My Account - Login to order products and favorite images", then "View wedding images to download login". Not user friendly at all. Not sure if it's just me, but I am having to use 4 different tabs with 3 seperate logins to get full access to my info and images.

We loved our experience with Lily & Lime! Their customer support is top notch and will address any and all concerns you may have. They also offer a large selection of skilled photographers and allow you to look through their portfolios to choose someone who fits your style. Booking is a breeze and is extremely flexible to your specific needs and budget. I loved getting to choose how many photographers/videographers we needed and the hours they would work with us rather than having to shell out a fortune to book someone for the entire day. I do wish we could have met our photographers beforehand (we only had their contact info a couple of weeks before the big day), but there is also an option to add on bridal or engagement portraits which would give you the chance to meet earlier. Even without that, both our lead and associate photographers did amazing work! They were flexible, accommodating, professional, and a joy to have around! And the pictures (which are stored on an online gallery for easy access and downloading) were beautiful! Lily & Lime was our favorite vendor because of the unbeatable quality of their resources, communication, and product. We’re so glad they were a part of our wedding day!!

We both definitely recommend using Lily & Lime, it was a great experience and extremely convenient to plan and arrange - especially with extremely busy schedules. (Didn’t have to plan multiple meetings/discussions/etc. in person - everything set in place via phone & email.) Both photographers they provided did an outstanding job, and were also greatly enjoyed by the guests. They brought a great energy and captured every single moment so perfectly.
Good side note- we were a bit behind on finalizing parts of the wedding, photographer being the big one.. so we didn’t even reach out to Lily & Lime about 6-7 weeks before the wedding.. With the thoughts in mind that we’d struggle getting everything in place last minute, they honestly cleared away all the worry and knocked it out of this world. Their team is awesome made it a night that everyone can look back on for many years to come!

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Lily and Lime. Selecting my package and photographer was easy, and I liked the DIY aspect as well as the online portal. My assigned representative (Chelsea) was very responsive and helpful, and my photographer (Caitlin Feltman) and videographer (Micah) were also amazing. I thought they both did a great job of capturing those candid moments, which is what I wanted. Both were professional, friendly, easy to work with, and down to earth. And Caitlin even helped me with my bustle when no one else could, which I was soo grateful for. I was happy with how my photos turned out as well as my final highlight video (after a minor music change request I made ) and full wedding video. I got lots of compliments. Last but not least, I thought the price for the photo/video package was very reasonable, compared to other companies. I'm so glad I chose Lily and Lime for my wedding!

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 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.

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.

We were given a discount code in an email from Lily & Lime which we used to buy a photography package for our wedding. We paid a deposit to get locked in and the website displayed two future payments we would have to make. When we logged in to pay our second payment the amount due was higher by the tune of a few hundred dollars. I decided to reach out to them to find out what happened.
Four emails and two phone calls and they still haven't figured it out. After the first phone call they immediately admitted this was their mistake and assured me it would be solved in 1-2 business days. It has now been a week and a half since I reached out to Lily & Lime to have this corrected. When the time frame they give me goes by I have to be the one to reach back out to them to let them know they haven't fixed the issue; they do not follow up at all even when they assured me they would.
I've spoken to a few different representatives now and they're all very friendly, but seem to tell you they'll fix it just to get you off the phone so they can bump the problem down the line.
I have very little confidence they will be reliable on the day of our wedding and will be asking for a refund for the deposit we made. I feel like I've been very patient and understanding but Lily & Lime just does not seem capable of delivery a quality product.

We had Ashley as our Main Photographer, and Chris as our Videographer.
We loved our time with Lily and Lime, they were just our style and were willing to do anything to get some amazing shots on our special day. They were laid back, not too pushy, and gave us some really special photos of our day that we would not have gotten otherwise. Our one issue was that the second photographer that was supposed to take the groom and groomsmen to a different area for their photos before the ceremony so that my bridesmaids and I could get photos before the ceremony as well, had to be told multiple times to actually do so. I ended up making one of the groomsmen get my husband and the other groomsmen together to get the photos started. They didn't start taking the groomsmen photos until 45 minutes before the ceremony, which made everything before the ceremony late, and I was still outside when guests began to arrive.
Besides that we had some beautiful photos and memories all caught by our lovely photographer and videographer.

My Husband and I used Lily and Lime for our wedding photos. The process was very easy from booking until the day of. All of our requests and need to know information went into an online portfolio for the photographer. We used Chuck and he was great! From the moment he got there until he left, he really catered to our wants and made she to capture all of the important shots! They were very timely in getting our photos back to us!

Wendy with Lily and Lime was our photographer and made our day such a breeze, and we truly enjoyed working with her. My husband and I are both laid back, and wanted to extend that feel to our wedding with forgoing a lot of the "traditions" and just spending time celebrating with our friends and family. Wendy totally understood our views, and really went with that flow. As we had never worked with a professional photographer before, she guided us through everything, and really captured the feel of us, and our venue in her photographs. Overall, Lily and Lime was such a pleasure to work with. Doing pretty much everything online made it so easy, and took a lot of stress out of booking a photographer. The online forms they provide for you to fill out also adds to the ease and gives the photographer much needed information that they utilize. The customer service rep, Maddy was also awesome. She is very professional and courteous, and kept us up-to-date on every step of the process, while also sending us emails to remind us to complete certain stages (which trust me, you will appreciate). We received sneak peeks of some of the photos within a week of our wedding, all the photos within two weeks and were able to download/purchase within 6 weeks. They processed them very quickly, which was great. We really enjoyed working with Lily and Lime and their staff, and definitely recommend their services if you are looking for a wedding photographer!

Lily & Lime was great to work with. Very simple and straight forward, easy to pick your photographer based on style and availability for your date. Our photographer was Bozena and she was amazing. Photos turned out beautifully.

We LOVED working with Lily & Lime. Customer service was top notch throughout the process - very easy to contact and prompt to respond.
Of course we were nervous choosing a photographer based only off of a portfolio and not actually getting to speak to her until the week of our wedding. We chose Monica because we loved her candid shots and boy did she not disappoint!
I spoke to Monica a few days before our wedding to go over which shots were on our "must have" list, which weren't many. She knew our venue and the surrounding area so she gave some tips and we were set. The day of the wedding she showed up to the venue early to get some pictures of the venue itself, then pictures of me getting ready and with my parents and siblings, then my husband getting ready and with his parents and siblings. We did not do a first look and she did not push for it.
During the ceremony I didn't even know she was there. After the ceremony we headed out to take some pictures with me, the groom and the bridal party and she worked fast because we were losing light - we had a 6 pm ceremony in mid-October. Those pictures came out beautiful, and she really made our jewel tone colors pop.
We didn't even notice her during the reception, but she was all over the place, and easy to find when we did want a specific photo. Our guests actually commented on how much they liked her which was great to hear! I've never heard people rave about a photographer like they were raving about Monica. There are so many sweet photos from our reception, and silly photos, and photos full of pure joy. We could not have asked for a better collection of photos from our wedding day.
Afterwards, we got a sneak peek in about a week and a half - very exciting! We got our full portfolio maybe a week or two after that and are now just waiting a couple more weeks to be able to download them.
Lily & Lime won't be for everyone, namely those who want to meet and have a sit down with their photographer ahead of time, but they were perfect for us. The whole process was really easy and we would absolutely recommend them for future brides.

I couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to choose Lily & Lime as our wedding photography company. They met and exceeded all of our expectations, from the moment we booked their services until our photos were available after the wedding. The customer service team was friendly and made sure that things were organized and on track for the wedding. Then the day of I was so grateful for Ilze and her ability to not only capture all the special moments we were looking for, but to also stay calm and collected during the process. As a bride she made me feel comfortable with the flow of the day and not in a rush to get things done. We are so grateful to everyone at Lily & Lime and would highly recommend them to anyone in the future.

Lily & Lime seemed like it was too good to be true at first. I combed through all of the reviews to be sure they were a real company, and finally took the big leap by purchasing one of their base packages with a discount.
From start to finish they worked with me to ensure that I had exactly what I needed, that I knew about add-on options (without pushing them on me), that I was comfortable and happy with my photographer (who I was able to choose - a great feature offered by Lily & Lime which makes the process feel more personal), and that I loved my photos. They got the photos to me in record time as well; I thought I'd be waiting up to 8 weeks, but the preview came through within two weeks, the photos with watermarks a few days after that, and the downloads in less than a month!
Even though I used a discount, I never felt that they were treating me differently. I can't imagine how they could have made my experience any better - it was darn near perfection! There is no question in my mind that they are organized to a 'T' and that the service I was provided was tailored to me. I'm so thankful I took a shot on Lily & Lime - thank you for helping to make my wedding day a dream!

This was the perfect fit for my husband and I. The pricing was really competitive; the planning process was clear & easy to manage; the day-of experience was excellent; the resulting photographs blew away our expectations.
Lily & Lime's people were all super helpful and responsive before, during, and after our wedding. I interacted with a few different team members at different points, and they were all great to work with.
Our photographer, Leah, was freaking amazing!! I can't recommend her highly enough. She is an absolutely amazing photographer - her work is just beautiful - but her personality is the icing on the cake. She's knowledgeable and professional, but also super friendly and fun. My husband and I were a little nervous that working with a photographer we didn't know well would feel awkward/uncomfortable, but that flew out the window as soon as we met Leah. Seriously - we can't recommend her highly enough!
Overall, working with Lily & Lime was a choice we'd make again & again. Thanks for a great experience!

I decided to go with Lily and Lime for my wedding photography because of the price in all honesty, however I could not have been happier with my choice to go with them. They were very responsive during the entire wedding planning process and I never had to wait long for a response on a question. I decided to go with Casey T for my photographer and I could not have been more pleased with her warmth and professionalism. She was so easy to work with and made sure that I got all of the shots that I wanted for my wedding day (including outdoor shots on a rainy day!). I would highly recommend Casey T and Lily and Lime if you are looking for affordable and professional pictures for your wedding day

Working with Lily and Lime was great. First, contacting the customer service department was easy and smooth. They answered all our questions in a timely fashion. Then before the big day, we contacted our photographer, Rebecca, who was very professional. We had everything arranged a week before (including our favorite shots). Rebecca was great in the wedding day, she did exactly whatever we asked for. Then we got a preview of our wedding pics a week after the wedding. I would definitely recommend Lily and lime.

I am so happy we chose Lily & Lime for our wedding photography service! We were able to review portfolios of dozens of photographers and select the one we thought would take pictures that fit our style and the tone of our wedding. Our wedding photos turned out beautifully!!! The customer service with Lily & Lime was also excellent; always received same-day responses to my questions and they were very professional.

Choosing Lily & Lime was a no brainer to stay within our set budget. I had ideas of what I hoped our pictures would look like and our pictures turned out 10x better. From the planning page on the site to communication with our photographers. The pictures were ready within a few weeks and PICTURE PERFECT! I have recommended so many couples planning to check them out cause they are by far the smartest decision we made planning.

Lily & Lime was the best choice and I am so happy we chose to go with this company! I was hesitant at first to use a larger company without talking to my photographer first, rather than using someone local, but I'm SO glad we took the plunge and went with L&L. The online communication and emails were always easy and I always got fast responses. I could have called if I wanted but I prefer email. The staff is super professional and Chelsea with customer support is so nice and awesome. Payments online were always easy as well. I got to choose my photographer out of many local photographers and I was able to review all of their work before making a decision. A little over a week before our wedding, I was able to chat on the phone with my photographer (Jennifer). She was so awesome, not only before the wedding, but also throughout our wedding day! She stuck to my timeline and made sure I got all of the photos I wanted taken. She helped me remember all the shots I wanted (phew! sigh of relief!), got candids and even more shots that I never would have thought to get. She kept my whole day on time and coordinated with the other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. I usually hate getting my picture taken (I am plus sized) but I hardly noticed she was there unless we were doing formal pictures. The pics all turned out great and she did an amazing job at making me look flattering all day long. I would certainly hire her again for any future photography needs! Editing is turned back over to L&L after the wedding, and all of our pics turned out amazing! We received almost 1200 pictures (over 500 edited) and I am so happy with the volume of pictures Jennifer got for us. She didn't miss a moment and the edited pictures look lovely! Downloading the pictures after the wedding is a breeze and I now have them for my own use forever! You can also buy an album or prints directly from them on their website. Everything about Jennifer and Lily & Lime was amazing from start to finish! You should definitely hire this company, don't hesitate!

We had a great experience with Lily and Lime. Customer service was very helpful with all questions that we had and our photographer was easy to reach. On the day of our wedding, Trene, our photographer, arrived on time and ready to capture wonderful pictures! It took us a little bit of time to warm up to the camera, but she was patient and created a great environment to help us feel comfortable. We would highly recommend!

We were looking for a budget-friendly photography option so we're so lucky to have come across Lily & Lime! Being able to combine photography and videography helped us save thousands. We loved being able to choose our photographer --Camarie was excellent. She was so sweet and did a great job at helping us camera-shy people feel at ease in front of the camera. The booking process was easy and our coordinator Lauren was the best! She always answered my million questions right away and put my worries at ease.
I wish we would have been able to choose a videographer and see a couple full wedding videos to know what to expect or what we would want to include. I also wish we could have met or had contact with our photographer and videographer beforehand. In order to meet our photographer, we had to pay for an engagement session which my husband did not want at all. Instead of an engagement shoot, we just met with her the week before the wedding at the venue so we could walk around together and plan where we would take the pictures. It was a lifesaver but an expensive meeting!
The turnaround time was unbelieveable! We got our pictures back just a few weeks after our wedding and the video about a month after that. We were given a few edits which I really appreciated to get everything just right. We purchased the raw video footage which allowed us to add some priceless clips that weren't included in the original video. We were even able to customize the preview video!
Overall, we were super pleased with our experience, especially for the price. We have priceless memories to cherish forever.

I knew booking our photographer through Lily and Lime could be a risk, but it could not have worked out better. Our lead photographer, Kristen, and her associate photographer, Ryan, we absolutely fantastic! They were prompt, professional, and most of all, patient. They managed us and our wedding party extremely efficiently and with grace. They followed our requested timeline perfectly. We couldn't be happier. We love all of our pictures. We would strongly recommend Lily and Lime in the Baltimore area to anyone.

We looked around for a long time to find the right photographer. I enjoy photography as a hobby and it was important to me to have a good wedding photographer. However, everything in our budget looked like it was taken by an ameteaur. I was so surprised to find Lily & Lime was in our price range AND had high quality photographers. Loved our experience with them through the entire process!

Laurie with Lily & Lime was our photographer and she was so professional and a pleasure to work with. She brought unique and fresh ideas to capture everything we cared about and literally worked her rear off all night to get the candid shots we were looking for. Also, we got our digital negatives so fast and they are crisp, clear, and awesome! Definitely would suggest Lily & Lime to other brides and use them again in the future for any other photography needs!

My husband and I could not be happier with the photos from Lily & Lime. Our photographer, Seth, worked with us to get photos that we will have for a lifetime. The process of signing up, selecting a photographer, setting a timeline, through the actual day, and afterwards – was simply perfection. I struggled with trying to find a photographer and this site made it easy. I got an email confirmation right away, as well as a planning sheet. When Seth showed up the day of the wedding, he was polite, professional, and made me feel at ease. All my guests commented that he was super friendly and enhanced our day. He had a great attitude and even though it rained on our wedding day, he made the best of it, and the photos really showed his skill! I would highly recommend Lily & Lime to anyone asking me for a photographer!

The Lily & Lime process was easy and straight forward. You login to your account to manage payments, setup your wedding day timeline and complete a questionnaire to help your photographer navigate your wedding. The customer service team is courteous and responsive. You'll receive automated emails along the way if/when there are specific actions that need completed in a timely manner.
The week of your wedding you'll receive your photographer's contact info. I'm not sure if it is part of the process or something that our photographer chose to do, but he reached out to us that day to introduce himself. We talked about the important parts of our wedding and certain shots we would like to capture. Within a week we received a sneak peek of our photos and told the full album would be ready within 6-8 weeks. Approximate 2 weeks later we received the full album.
There are a decent number of shots that we plan to include in our album. Unfortunately our photographer had a background in photo journalism rather than portrait photography so not all of our personal or family portraits came out as hoped.
Overall we are pleased with the service and product, especially for the price.

My wife and I decided to get married in MN, so we had to find a local photographer to help us out. After searching several online sites, we decided to work with Lily & Lime. We liked the fact that the packages were straightforward, and we had several portfolios to choose from.
All questions I had were resolved quickly either via email or telephone, and everybody we interacted with were extremely helpful and friendly.
We worked with Lisa as our photographer, and she was also great! Se worked with us every step of the way and snapped some wonderful photos. Our digital negatives arrived rather quickly, so that was awesome. We would definitely recommend using L&L!

My husband and I were looking for affordable photographers, but also wanted good quality - photos were one of our top priorities while still operating on a budget. Lily & Lime was PERFECT. Up to our wedding, and even afterwards, we've had incredible customer service with quick responses and people taking the time to explain their service to us. We used Kayla and Laura in Minneapolis and they were both FANTASTIC. I can't say enough about their logistics, their personalities and caring for our wedding day, and their talent is incredible. I was blown away by our photos and I can't thank them enough for photographing our day!
