Submitting this review for Lily & Lime San Diego here, because we cannot find an entry on the Knot for San Diego specifically. Lily & Lime is a great value with excellent customer service and phenomenal photographers. My one recommendation is that they increase the amount of time that couples have access to photographer contact information from one week in advance to two weeks in advance to put clients more at ease and to meet the needs of other vendors (like coordinators). When our original lead photographer was sick and could no longer work as of two days before our wedding, Lily and Lime informed us while immediately offering a solution of making our assitant photographer the lead and adding another assitant. They also gave us a photo credit for the last minute change. Daniel did a fantastic job as our lead wedding photographer; he was patient, punctual, personable, creative, adaptive, and he elicited genuine emotion that he and his assitant photographer Kyle captured expertly throughout the day and night. Daniel went out of his way to prioritize our top shots and styles and added unique shots that only a passionate professional could have conceptualized. Daniel's photo or pose ideas are some of our favorites from our wedding day and we are so grateful to him and Kyle for stepping up/in last minute to make our dream wedding and mementos a reality. When we look at the photos they captured of our big day I tear up and feel immense joy; they are gorgeous, of exceptional quality, clarity, and color, and better than we could have envisioned or hoped for! I highly recommend Daniel for capturing any event; he is an excellent human and an expert at his craft. Hiring Daniel will be the best investment you make in your wedding/event.

Hello Jackie, thank you for your lovely review! We're glad that you found our services easy and enjoyable, and we appreciate your recommendation for our affordable photography and video service.
I loved working with this vendor. Everything was handled professionally through email and their online portal. We were assigned a coordinator who helped us complete our profile that included information about us, our venues, important family members, special requests, etc. We were paired with a friendly photographer who we FaceTimed with the week of our wedding to talk details. If you're looking for a hassle free experience with your photographs I’d highly recommend Lily & Lime!

Hi Daniel, it's wonderful to read your positive feedback about the hassle-free experience provided by our team. We're glad to hear that our process and friendly photographer made your wedding preparations smoother.
Lily and Lime was the best to work with! They are so attentive and reply quickly to any and all questions. The photographer that we were paired with was so great and the photos felt very natural. Guests at our wedding thought that he was a family friend that we’d known for years! I’m so happy with the photos we received and could not have asked for a more perfect day that we now get to remember for a lifetime!

We were looking for an affordable wedding photographer and came upon Lily & Lime a few months before our wedding. Their process was very simple and easy to understand. Their customer service was quick to respond to our questions. Lily & Lime paired us up with Charles and he was one of the best photographers we've ever met. He was very easy to work with and his photos were absolutely stunning. We're very grateful for Lily & Lime and Charles and are glad we went with them to capture memories of our special day.

I’m so happy we chose Lily & Lime for our wedding! We waited until the last minute, due to being indecisive, to book the photographer. While being important, we didn’t want to go over budget.
Lily & Lime made it so easy to book and our photographer Demetrius was soooo much fun to work with! The website planning tool made it easy to plan for day-of. We ended up with over 1,100 pictures and I’m so glad we chose Lily & Lime. We definitely got our money’s worth!!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/08/2024
Hi Christina, we're glad to know that you're happy with choosing us for your wedding. Demetrius's fun approach and the abundance of pictures are what we strive for. Thank you for your positive feedback.

Hi Joshua, thank you for your positive feedback. Thanks for recommending us to family and friends.
I’m so glad we choose to go through lily and lime. It was so easy from start to finish. Our photographer was amazing. She was easy to communicate with and made sure we didn’t miss any photos that we wanted, she was kind and professional. With in a few days of going through the process of choosing our photographer, picking a package and setting up payment, our photographer reached out to introduce herself and check in. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely go through lily and lime again. After our wedding we had our photos within two weeks. Amazing service, and their planning tool was easy to use!

Our experience with this company was great, they were very patient and helpful with all the requests and questions we had. The photographer (Ibrahim) was very nice, professional and kind., we couldn’t choose better than this. We will recommend it 100%
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2023
Hey Harbi, we appreciate your kind words and are glad you had a great experience with us. Thank you for recommending us and for mentioning Ibrahim's professionalism and kindness.
Our experience with them was spectacular. From the beginning, they take care of you very well and answer all the questions or doubts that you have. The photographer was wonderful as he is from the same country as my husband and it was very nice to find another person from the same land. . He understood our tastes and culture very well and made us feel very comfortable. After the wedding, they were also very attentive and worked very quickly to deliver our photos to us, we had so many photos and we loved that.
I really recommended them

My husband and I had a great experience with Lily & Lime. We have never hired a professional photographer before and they made everything so easy! Our photographer was amazing, and took the extra time to make us feel at ease. You won't be disappointed using Lily & Lime.
Response from the Vendor on 08/03/2022
We are delighted by your response, Selina! Thanks for all the kind words and appreciation. We are pleased to hear that you had a great time working with our photographer. Thanks again for the recommendation.
My wife and I are very pleased with Lilly and Lime. They replied promptly whenever we emailed with questions prior to our wedding. They day of the wedding, our photographer arrived extra early to set up and check the venue. He was very flexible and accommodating. Due to traffic, we arrived late to the place we were going to use for our main portraits, so we had to improvise on the spot. The photographer was very understanding and always reassuring us that the pictures were going to come out great, which they did! My best friend who was in charge of managing the reception program also told me that the photographer was very communicative with him. He paid special attention in details, and made sure that he included good pictures of us, and our family. We couldn't have asked for a better photography company. Or lead photographer's name was Tiago. We also had an additional photographer (Samuel) who was also very professional.
Thank you Lily & Lime for such a great and smooth experience during our wedding. We would highly recommend you, and use your for future events.
Response from the Vendor on 04/25/2022
Hey Claudio & Ariana F, we are pleased to know that you and your wife loved working with our team and with our photographers on your wedding day! Thanks for the big shout-out to Tiago and Samuel! We are delighted to hear about your experience! ...
Best wishes to both of you!
110% pleased with Lily & Lime. We hired 2 photographers and 1 videographer for our wedding in August 2021. All 3 had been to our venue before to shoot a wedding so they knew exactly what to do and where to go for the best shots.
Both photographers were so friendly and talented. They made awkward moments not awkward by laughing and joking. Our videographer was great as well. He knew exactly which angles and techniques to use when recording priceless moments. When we saw the final edit of the video, we were shocked at how good it came out.
Overall, great customer services, great prices, and great photographers/videographers.
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2022
Hey Michael, we are pleased to hear about your experience! Thank you so much from our photographers and videographers! It means a lot to us! Best wishes to you both!
We had an absolutely lovely experience with Lily & Lime. The photographer, WanJun, they sent us (the package we chose includes the company choosing the photographer) was very professional and helpful. Our photos turned out beautiful, and we were pleasantly surprised at just how many photos he was able to take!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2021
Hey Dominique, thanks for all the love and kind words for Wanjun! He is magic to work with! We feel really delighted to hear that you loved working with us and also loved all the photos captured by our photographers! A big thank you again!
Once someone told me wedding is about wedding photos, because at the end that is what would remain- it was true! And I couldn't be happier that I chose Lily and Lime to leave us best memories.
Vincent was our photographer and he was very professional. Couple days before our session, he called me and we talked about every possible details of our wedding so he can capture them all. My husband and I are extremely happy with how our wedding photos turn out and our friends and family loved them as much as we did. Lily and Lime also has an amazing customer support team that answers all your questions on a timely manner. Overall, I would recommend Lily and Lime to any couple who is on a haunt for an affordable and best photographer services.
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2021
Thanks for sharing your experinece with us, Zulhumar! It gives us immense pleasure knowing that your had a great time with our team, especially Vincent! Thanks for all the love, appreciation, and recommendation!
Amazing! I chose Alexa, she was so fun! I was able to call Alexa a week before my wedding and communication was awesome, also sent her my Pinterest album for inspo- she was able to refer those inspo pics during my wedding. My videographer was Graham, and he was such a delight as well. Both had wonderful fun energies :) My sister in law also got her photos done by lily & lime and chose Brandon- I got to meet him at her wedding and he was amazing too! 10/10 would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 09/02/2021
Hey P, the pleasure is all ours! We are really delighted to hear about your and your sister-in-law's experience with us! We do appreciate the love and kind words for Alexa, Graham, and Brandon! It was indeed a pleasure working with you! Please ...
pass on our sincere thanks to your sister-in-law, too!
the communication was good before I booked- I was able to email and call customer support to help me set up and choose my photographer. after that, the email communication slowed. once wa finally got in touch with our photographer a week prior to our wedding (which is the customary time for them I was told) I was happy with our conversation. the day of our photographer arrived on time. once the wedding started we did our ceremony and started with photos. the entire day and night the photographer was a mess. she did not guide us through pictures with ease at all. we were not confident with her pictures and were unable to see them for 2 months from Lily and Lime! once we got them I cried. not a single one was angled to flatter me. they were all taken from below so my double chin was prominent. just awful. when we emailed lily and lime for edits, it took even longer and they were just for brightening photos and removing mosquitos from faces. i do not recommend this route, even though its affordable.

Hi Maddison, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take your feedback to heart as we work to improve our processes. Please reach out to the client support team should we be able to with any remaining comments or concerns.
We're so happy we went with Lily & Lime for our wedding photography. At first, we were a bit skeptical, but we'd read such good reviews for L&L that we decided to give them a shot. It turned out to be an excellent decision.
For starters, they have top notch customer service. Staff were remarkably responsive to our emails/phone calls and always tried their best to provide whatever info we needed. We never felt like L&L was unreliable or untrustworthy, which is understandably a common concern when working with an online only company.
Our photographer was Rebecca and she was awesome. Her personality and style matched what we had in mind, and she was very responsive and communicative as well. We had added a second photographer, but weren't told who they would be until about a week prior to our wedding. After working with Samuel, we can safely say, we never had anything to worry about. We loved him just as much as our main photographer. They took some great shots for us! Both photographers also worked seamlessly with our wedding venue. We didn't have to coordinate a thing after providing them with contact info.
For the quality of service and photographers, you also can't beat L&L's packages. We were on a tight budget and are convinced that no other approach would have yielded this level of value. Our only real complaint is that the editing work was not the best. The way L&L works is that the photographer takes the photos, but L&L editors touch them up. It was unfortunately obvious that the editor(s) were in a rush as some of the colors were overdone while other times, it was puzzling why certain photos were even selected for editing to begin with. That being said, L&L returned over 6,000 photos to us, with around 30% of them edited. 2,000 edited photos is nothing to balk at!
All in all, picking L&L to help with our wedding photography was a fantastic decision. Two thumbs up!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2021
Hi Joanne, we loved working with you, too! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your day. We can assure you that we do light editing on all photos provided, but we are happy to revisit any specific photos you'd like re-edited. Just...

The best thing we loved about Lily & Lime was their customer service. In a year of uncertainty, wedding plans rapidly changing for the pandemic -- any time we needed help with something or had a question, they answered back extremely promptly and were always super helpful and friendly. We're so grateful for their support!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2021
Hey David & Genevieve, thank you so much for your kind words. We are glad that we could be there for you on your big day during the testing times. We strive to deliver the best to our couples, pandemic or not! Thanks again for choosing us!
They were great!
As 2020 bride in California, working with Lily and Lime through the chaos was one of the easier parts of wedding planning. Between the pandemic and the worst fire season on record, planning a wedding was an ordeal. Part of the reason we chose Lily and Lime was the stunning packages they were able to offer at an affordable price. Their ability to be flexible and support us during a pandemic and natural disaster was why we really love working with them. Lily and Lime's customer service support was helpful during our pandemic pivoting, giving us so many options and ideas to consider. Shout out to Nick who answered my millions of questions and scenarios quickly and thoroughly as we postponed, re-planned, and plan A for our wedding day quickly turned into plan C. We were able to pick our photographer. After looking at portfolios I knew we would connect with Rebecca. Rebecca was amazing and we connected instantly. She worked with us to creatively find solutions to take beautiful pictures in lovely locations in a safe way on a very smoky day. The skies had been orange just a few days before as our state struggled with the terrible fire, but the editors made sure the photos turned out beautifully! I would recommend Lily and Lime, especially in these uncertain times!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2020
Hey Amanda! Thanks for all the love you have shown to our team. It has been always a pleasure to fulfill every bride's dream of a gorgeous wedding with amazing pictures taken.
On the plus side, our photographer was awesome to work with, our photos came out lovely, and the customer service rep we worked with was very friendly.
However, working with everyone but the photographer had all the genuine warmth and friendliness of going to the bank. Tons of red tape, a nigh-unusuable website, very blatantly copy-pasted responses that were the email equivalent of "Your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line, and the next available representative will be with you shortly," and we weren't even allowed to meet or contact our photographer until a week before the wedding!
We had to cancel the large wedding we had planned due to COVID, and when we re-schedule (hopefully next year), we're definitely going to go with another photographer - an independent artist, not a huge, unwieldy, impersonal corporation like this.

My Husband and I had a great experience with Lily & Lime. We had to make several last minute changes to our wedding due to the pandemic, and Lily & Lime happily worked with us through these changes. Our Photographer Jessica was AMAZING. She was extremely kind and took some great photos! I highly recommend Lily & Lime for photography services!
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2020
Thanks, Ellie for this awesome review and good vibes with Jessica and our entire team. We always believe in turning every bride's dreamy thoughts into a beautiful reality in her wedding pictures. Thanks again for your continuous support through...
out the ceremony.
We have made the initial payment and was hoping to speak to the photographer, but was informed that we could not do so until 5 days before the event. As hectic as it could be that seems like a poor practice.
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2020
Hi Rich, thank you for sharing this feedback and we're sorry to have had any confusion here. We take care of everything until (almost) the event date, that way our photographers are able to focus on current couples events. I see that you were...

I was hesitant to use L&L since I wasn't able to choose the videographer and you're not able to talk to the vendors until a few days before the reviews made me feel better and the value was great so I went for it. I do not regret a thing. Both the photographer and videographer talked to me several times the week of the wedding, were both super nice, great to work with, and professional. Our photographer was a joy and super organized. I gave her a list of specific shots in the venue I wanted to recreate and she remembered them ALL, even when I was forgetting them. I have also been pleased with the Customer Service who was always quick to answer my questions, find the best plan for us, and even helped upload my day of the schedule into the system when I was overwhelmed and confused.

t you gave us for making it possible.
I was really excited to use these photographers for our wedding. They were affordable and the reviews were great. A few weeks before the wedding, they sent over and I completed a detailed wedding plan of how we wanted the day to go, along with where they would take place. A week before, I had a call with Mike, who was our photographer. The call went well, and I explained to him that we’re an easy going group and should be a fun day. Flash forward to my bridesmaids, mom and I waiting at the hotel for 30 minutes for Mike to show up. He didn’t show, and I gave him a call. He said that he went straight to our venue, which was not in our plan. Okay, fine, we’ll get ready at the venue. Strike one. When we arrived at the venue, he was taking photos of the groomsmen and around the venue. We were able to take about 10 minutes of bridesmaids photos, not in dresses, before we had to get ready, which was now, rushed. We had to get ready fast in order to make the ceremony, and that meant, pictures after the ceremony before the reception, which was a 45 minute window, and that’s when family photos were taking place. Now we’re rushed. Strike two. Ceremony was fine, and afterwards, my planner, myself and other bridesmaids were trying to wrangle people for photos, and the photographer was nowhere to be found. He was on the back patio waiting for us with no communication. It took what seemed a lifetime to get people together. Finally it was time for grand entrance, and because we didn’t have photos of everyone in the wedding party, we had to do those after we finished eating and after toasts. Which, it’s now 7:30-8pm, with horrible lighting. I’m slightly buzzed at this point, so I think I was slightly forgiving in the moment. After this, we asked for photos the tables, and dancing. Which we got, but with heavy flash (once we got photos back). We noticed he kept disappearing through the night, and our videographer (thank god!) was there to capture the big moments for us. Flash forward to the week after our wedding, and a few friends had messaged me about some concerns from our wedding. I was really taken aback to find out that not only was he utilizing our open bar, but he was smoking weed with our guests and hanging out in the smoking area with them for a good portion of the evening during dancing. Strike three. Also, three OTHER friends, tell me that Mike, was using his PERSONAL phone and video device, to film our guests dancing. He asked several of them to “show me your goods” and “give it to me baby!”. At this point, I’m embarrassed a week after our wedding by his actions. Six weeks later, we get our photos back, only to discover that there are multiple photos of multiple guests which are close ups, of them in low cut shirts and dresses. Our family and friends. Once I heard this from everyone, saw our photos that were less than beautiful, and realized I only had ten, YES TEN, photos of my husband and I because of our photographers poor planning and not sticking to the plan this company sent us, I brought it up to Lily and Lime, and they offered us $300 dollars back from our wedding package after an “investigation” on their end. It’s a joke. They isn’t take responsibility for the actions of their photographer, who is a creep, bad photographer and didn’t stick to the plan. Believe me when I say, spend the money on a GOOD photographer with GOOD reviews.

ork for you.
Due to COVID-19 affecting travel plans, we had to adapt our dream wedding to fit the situation. When we had to change our wedding from a 120-guest extravaganza to a 12-guest family ordeal, Lily & Lime was very understanding, and helped us pick a package that was more appropriate for our situation. I'd highly recommend Lily & Lime.
Response from the Vendor on 06/08/2020
Thanks, Mike for your kind words. We are happy to help you replan your wedding during these difficult times. We can't wait for your beautiful celebration ahead!
Lily and Lime was so good, I didn't even have to recommend them, people were coming up to me at my wedding asking for their information. I worked with 2 photographer for my engagement pictures and Alex from Orange County was a much better photographer than the other one. I love my wedding video. Although it was one videographer, he had two cameras filming and his camera work was really good. They even brought their own lighting. I'm recommending them to everyone I know that is getting married. Also they have great discount, you are getting so much for your money.
Response from the Vendor on 06/08/2020

appiness!
Lily & Lime offered a good price, but they were iffy on the selection of photographers and videographers. We would've been able to pick the photographer, but there was no guarantee that it would be THAT photographer on the day of the wedding. As for the videographers, there was no choice in selection. So it would've been a hit or a miss if we had gone with Lily & Lime. Thus, we decided to go with another photographer and videographer group. But for the price and if you get lucky, Lily & Lime would've been a true bargain! But we just weren't willing to take the risk.

My husband and I planned our wedding in 4 short months. We booked Lily and Lime about a month out and we are so happy we did! They made the process so easy for us. They provided first-class service with quality photos at an affordable price. We haven’t seen our wedding video yet, but do not doubt that it will be nothing short of amazing. We plan to use their service for all the other special events that we will have.
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2020
Thanks a lot for this lovely review, Mae! We would love to work with you again. Thanks again for allowing us to be a part of your special day!
I am so glad we went with Lily & Lime for our wedding photography this last summer. It was the easiest process ever, and definitely the most affordable option we found. I think we also got in when they were doing a special deal for an additional discount, so that was great too. At first I was a bit skeptical of the online aspect for the whole process, but it was a dream come true, and one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding.
We were able to select our lead photographer from multiple photographers available on our day in the area, and we selected a great one! We even lucked out with our associate photographer that came with the package we purchased too. He was matched up with us and our lead photographer by Lily & Lime, and he was a perfect fit for us also.
After we selected our package and lead photographer, everything else was just as easy. Later down the timeline our contacts at Lily & Lime reached out with a schedule/itinerary to complete with all the details of what we want included, not included, and all the special things a bride and groom might want for their big day. They were able to give me suggested time frames for certain things (ie: first look, family photos, etc), so that was extremely helpful.
With the wedding a week out, I connected with our lead photographer over the phone. We chatted for about an hour, and he made me feel so comfortable with the process, and at ease, knowing we would be in good hands with him as our photographer. He understood what we wanted, and what was most and least important to us in capturing our big day, and boy did he deliver!
We got all the photos from Lily & Lime within a month of the wedding, and we got a sneak peak of their top 30-ish photos a week after the wedding. There were about 2500 photos that were sent to us, and about half of them were the ones that the Lily & Lime team edited. The other half were the rest of the photos both the lead and associate photographers took, but they weren't edited by the Lily & Lime team. We appreciate that they still gave us these photos, because some of these unedited ones are our favorite!
That was the only one different thing about using Lily & Lime. The photographers take all the photos, and send them directly to Lily & Lime, where their team takes them and picks the ones to edit on behalf of the photographer. So, the photographer might have had one vision in their head for a shot, that the editor might not have thought of, or noticed, but that is okay. For the price, and ease, and everything in between, I'm very pleased with Lily & Lime, and will recommend them to anyone I know that is planning a wedding in the future!

A very big thanks to you, Jill for leaving such nice words for our team. You really made our day!! We are delighted to receive so much love and appreciation. Thanks again for counting on us to capture your most important day.
First of all, the price is very good which is hard to find, the service for customer support is also very quick and responsive. My wedding was in SF and I chose Tiago from his portfolio, he was super nice and talented I explained to him that I like the natural looking photos more snapshots and really capture the moments and he did exactly what we wanted. We got the photos in less than a month after the wedding and absolutely love them. I highly recommend!!!!!

Thanks a ton, Thanida, for all your kind words and great recommendations. Tiago and your team are so happy to hear these wonderful words from you.
I was really happy with our wedding photography through Lily & Lime! With the reasonable price came very responsive customer service, a fantastic photographer (we would rate Jessica as the top vendor at our wedding!), and our photos ahead of schedule with no hidden fees for downloading them. I would 100% recommend!
They are wonderful. Still waiting on photos but super amazing customer service, our photographer Shilpa was amazing, very professional and so nice working with her.
Thank you Lily & Lime for making our big day special!
Lily and Lime has a wide array of photographers to choose from. We got Devon and Alex! They were both so damn amazing and they were always looking for the best shots, best angles, and best lighting. They were both super sweet and wanted to capture every moment they could for me. I cannot thank them enough
Lily and Lime fit our budget and our schedule perfectly--being able to browse all their photographers' portfolios knowing that they were for sure available on the day of our wedding really gave us peace of mind and helped us focus solely on the quality and style of each portfolio.
We decided to work with Linda N., and are so happy we did! She is a kind soul, with a calming presence and an absolute delight to be around. Neither of us know how to act in front of a camera, and hardly ever have serious or formal photos taken of us, but that was fine! Linda worked with us and encouraged us to be fun and silly, as we are off-camera. We have not yet received our photos (Our wedding was on 9/21/2019), but will be back to update our review when we see them!
Lily and Lime customer service was fast and friendly! Throughout the planning process, I had several questions and Lily and Lime's customer service always responded to my questions within a day or two. The only problem I experienced was getting in touch with our photographer on the week of our wedding, but even then the delay was no longer than a day and did not negatively impact our experience in the long run.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Lily and Lime to anyone in need of a photographer. You shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for happy photos of your best day ever :)
Lily and Lime was so easy to work with and so worth the price! Our photos came back early and we couldn't be happier
Overall we were very happy with our experience. We had problems finding photographers that were responsive and reliable, and from our first conversation I knew Lily & Lime’s model was a well-oiled machine. They made it very easy to communicate and even recommended photographers in our area. I would also recommend doing an Engagement Session before the actual wedding so you have time to meet and photograph with your photographer before your actual wedding.
I will say your experience will likely depend on the photographer you book so do your homework. But if you’re looking for affordable, easy, and good quality photography services I would definitely recommend Lily & Lime.
I had the pleasure of working with Jessica L. And Kent, what can I say?! They were absolutely wonderful! There were a few photos I wish had been gotten from a different angle but all things considered I was VERY happy with the photos. I have yet to see the video but I can't wait! I was super nervous hiring a photographer somewhat blind since you don't get to talk to the photographer or videographer until 1 week before the wedding but lily and lime made it easy! There was still someone I could count on to contact for any questions I had and the planning portfolio you submit with a time line for the wedding day is good too. Jessica and Kent have amazing friendly personalities and put me at ease from the second I met them on my wedding day! From suggested poses to friendly conversation I had felt like I had spoken to them both for weeks about the wedding. They were on point about each detail and location and even when things didn't go as planned exactly on the schedule, they rolled with it and made it work. I couldn't have been happier especially for the price compared to other wedding photographers.. I HIGHLY recommend. Don't hesitate 🙂
Great
I was initially very concerned with going with a company like Lily & Lime where you don’t meet your photographer unless you do an engagement shoot and the processing is done by the company and not the photographer. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money on just a photographer but I knew I had to have a videographer. I found Lily & Lime and have never regretted it since I made that choice. We had Rob from SJ as our photographer and he was amazing! Our engagement photos came out great and he was super easy to work with. On our big day we met Emanuele, the videographer and he was very nice and had the most awesome wooden bow. We’ve gotten our editors choice photos from the wedding and can’t wait to see the video. If you’re looking for amazing photos and an option that is cheaper and allows you to get a photographer and videographer, I’d highly recommend Lily & Lime!
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.
Lilly and Lime was great to work with-very easy and didn't have to worry about a thing!
Loved Wendy! Her and Shannon were very professional and sweet. They got pictures of absolutely everything and I have a digital copy of over a thousand pictures. The price was great compared to many photographers of the same quality in my area.
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!
Their professionalism and customer service is outstanding! They work with you if there's an issue and treat you like you're their only customer. I highly recommend them.
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.

Hi Lisa, thank you for your detailed feedback about your experience with Lily & Lime. We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that our platform, process, and support team were helpful to you. It's good to know that you found value in o...
ur service, product, and photographer, making your overall experience positive.
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.
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 hired Gianna - she was really great to work with! Very professional and efficient. The pricing was fair and the photos look amazing. We got a discount by purchasing our photography package way in advance of the wedding (10 months ahead).
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.
We had an amazing experience with photographers and videographer from Lily and Lime. They were prompt, friendly and creative. Thank you Oladipo, Jamaal and Nicole for an amazing time at our wedding.
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!
