My name is Lily and I live in Akron, NY with my husband and three children. I've been photographing weddings since 2017.
I started wedding photography by first shadowing and working weddings for free as a second photographer to gain experience and learn the ins and outs of properly photographing a wedding. After that, I worked for 2 different studios as a paid second photographer and photographed around 20 weddings the first 2 years in the business. Since starting my own business in 2019, I've been so blessed to be hired to photograph over 70 weddings.

We had Lily for both our engagement and wedding photos and she was great. She was professional, easy to work with, the photos came out perfect, and she had very helpful input that helped us plan our wedding day timeline. We would 1000% book her again

Lily was perfect for our wedding - she had an excellent sense of what we wanted for our photos and was amazing at facilitating great photo opportunities without anything feeling forced. Her photos did a perfect job capturing an incredibly special night for all of our family and friends. Super easygoing and knew exactly where to be and what to shoot, we wish we were getting married a second time so we could hire her again!

Lily was fantastic to work with. When my wife and I had to make last minute plan changes (our fault) Lily was incredibly accommodating and able to suggest a new place to take the pre wedding photos. As far as the wedding itself, she was able to catch every action shot, and honestly we wouldn’t / couldn’t ask for anything better!

Lily did both our engagement and wedding photos and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was so easy to work with and we had our finished photos back within just a couple of weeks for both. Our photos turned out so beautifully, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would book with Lily again in a heartbeat!
