Nina Lily Photography

yond, helping as a sort-of bridesmaid since I didn't have a maid of honor or bridesmaids. She made me feel so special. My husband and I aren't comfortable in front of a camera, but she was able to make us comfortable and really allowed our love for each to flow. We also ended up using Christina as our Officiant, which was also a great experience.

ble. That is exactly what we got when we went with Nina Lily Photography. When I first met Sarah I knew they were the right fit for us. She was warm, kind and so knowledgeable about wedding photography (and the photo journalism style that they execute so beautifully). We had the pleasure of having her shoot our engagement photos. She made sure that we were comfortable throughout the whole experience, and we had the best time with her. A few weeks later we received our photos and they were absolutely stunning. When it came time to have the wedding Sarah unfortunately was unavailable, so we were given the opportunity to work with Christina and Jill. (Side Note: While speaking with Sarah at the bridal expo she explained to me how their collective worked. Basically they have a group of phenomenal photographers that have similar styles/approaches to capturing moments so if someone is unavailable they are able to have another photographer step in. In this time of uncertainty, it was very refreshing and reassuring because we knew that no matter what we would be taken care of.) As much as we were bummed not to be able to work with Sarah again, we were absolutely thrilled to work with Jill and Christina. They both made the photography experience fun and comfortable. They went above and beyond to create and capture beautiful memories for us (even running around in the woods in temperatures below freezing). I highly suggest scheduling with Nina Lily Photography.

can feel our happiness jumping out of the photos. She was so wonderful to work with and made us feel at ease throughout the day. We will treasure the photos forever -- thank you, Christina!

ergic to overly posed or prom-y photos). The photography team worked hard to understand our vibe as a couple and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos came out so natural, etherial, and journalistic. We also have a few ill members of our family and the team took such care making sure they looked their best. Can't recommend Nina Lily highly enough.

her heart into it and captured pictures and moments that told a story. Christina was extremely professional and it was a blast to do our engagement shoots and wedding with her! We were really impressed with the time we got our photos back given the amazing editing on them! The online questionnaire for our wedding day that helped convey what we want out of our wedding was very detailed and set Nina Lily apart from others. Could not be happier with our photos, we will cherish them forever!! :)

ssional, and fun! Her second shooter was also awesome. I had no idea how important it would be to have these qualities in a photographer, and am so incredibly grateful we went with Nina Lily for our wedding. We got married on a very cold, snowy day in February, and Christina and her team braved the weather with us and was great at taking charge in terms of choosing locations, keeping us on schedule, and organizing our families and bridal party. I would have already thought she was perfect and would have recommended her without resolution just based on those qualities. After seeing her finished work, though, I was even more amazed. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and she managed to capture so much of the emotion of the day. They are true artists. I seriously can’t recommend them enough!

ing ceremony at Promise Ridge in Stroudsburg. I knew that from our first phone call she was going to make the whole experience stress-free and comfortable. She was great at listening to how we envisioned our photos to look, and they turned out even better than imagined. Christina was like our guide through the day, she helped direct my husband and me to get the most perfect shots. Her suggestions of locations and scenery made for gorgeous backgrounds in our photos. She was able to capture the most precious moments of us and our family during the ceremony. These are memories that I will treasure forever, and Christina truly has the gift to encapsulate these priceless moments. My entire family raved about how beautiful the photos turned out. I really loved how natural we looked, especially as someone who is camera shy! My brother commented that the photos looked like they were from a fairy tale, and that really describes our special day. I can’t thank Christina enough!

he entire time. She was super easy to get a hold of, gave us the feeling that we had her undivided attention (even though she had a number of other clients), got along amazingly with all of our friends and family, and delivered incredible pictures! It felt as though she was a long-time friend attending our wedding instead of a vendor, she is a natural! Even in spite of a horrible family tragedy just a few days after our wedding, she still managed to deliver our photos within the contracted time and we couldn't be happier with the result! Christina is definitely the photographer for you if you are looking for someone with pure talent and incredible people skills!

t 8 or so years. I always knew that when I got married that this would be my first choice when it came to a photographer. During the booking process my fiance and I decided to go with the associate photographer Sam for our engagement photos and also the lead photographer for our wedding. The day of the wedding we were thrilled to have Christina join us as our second photographer. The day of our wedding the weather forecast was 1-3 inches of snow- we ended up with 8 inches! Christina and Sam went above and beyond and were adventurous with our photos. We have the most beautiful winter wonderland photos that we could ever hope for because of them! I can't praise them enough!

an hold a candle to Christina. Wow, she is incredible. Book her now. Seriously, she is amazing. I suppose you are reading this review for information about Christina as a photographer, but we would be remiss if we did not start by talking about Christina as a person. Christina is beautiful inside and out. She is a wonderful soul who made our engagement session and our wedding day incredible experiences. My husband and I are shy in front of a camera, but Christina made the experience so easy. From the moment we first spoke to her on the phone, we were in love. She is incredibly easy to talk to and she puts everyone around her at ease. She is warm, friendly, and happy. And, she is also DAMN GOOD at her job. She is an artist and a magician. After the first engagement shoot, I was nervous about the photographs. I remembered how awkward I had felt (even though Christina is amazing and made me feel exponentially less so, I was still awkward) and had convinced myself that my awkwardness would show through in the photographs. Man, was I wrong. Christina is secretly a wizard and worked MAGIC with the photographs. My jaw dropped when I saw them and I couldn’t believe my eyes. The pictures were SO BEAUTIFUL that I wanted to cry and scream and laugh all at the same time. Everyone we showed the photographs to had the same reaction. And everyone’s first question? “Who is your photographer?!?”. Christina is not just a photographer, she is an artist. Her photographs are beautiful and they capture not only the moment but also the spirit of the people in them. Maybe that sounds crazy, but we really feel as though it is true. Her photographs of us not only capture our faces and our relationship but also who we are as people. Oh man, so many happy tears! Furthermore, Christina is incredibly organized. She utilizes a platform that is super user friendly. She is thorough and she really works hard to get to know her clients. On the day of the wedding, she does a great job of getting everyone together and has really great ideas about shot locations. She picked the location of our First Look (as we had no idea what to do!) and the pictures ended up looking like a magical fantasy forest of enchantment. WOW! To top it all off, she sent us not only a USB of all of our photographs but also a selection of hard copies (not included in our package - just something extra she included because she is stellar) and a book (that she signed) that made us cry and laugh (“The Awesome Book of Love”). She is INCREDIBLE. She goes above and beyond what is expected of her and she works hard to put a personal touch into everything she does. She is a truly an amazing photographer and incredible woman. Christina, thank you for making our wedding day and wedding memories so special. We will have your photographs forever and remember how you made us feel forever and a day. :)

your story and create the best images possible for you wedding day. We talked on the phone for about an hour and completely clicked - don't underestimate how important this is! Christina is basically a gem in the world of wedding photography. She doubles as a wedding planner. She had a whole schedule she sends you almost by the half hour for your wedding day. Its AMAZING. I really can't even explain how important it was to know how on top of it she was. She made sure I didn't see my groom before the ceremony - and never tried to push us to do a first look. On top of all this, the photos are amazingly beautiful. I wish I could post the photo of my husband when he saw me for the first time. Her second shooter, Jen, worked with my hubs and his groomsmen. The guys LOVED her. I think they wanted her to be a guest at the wedding more than a photographer. She managed to keep them all in check (not easy), produce AMAZING photos, and blend in like a guest. It should be noted that Jen also gets stains out of bridesmaids dresses :) Thank you thank you Nina Lily!!!

uine interest in her clients. From our first meeting with Christina (which she arranged via videoconference for our convenience), we felt instantly at ease, and that ease carried into our engagement session and wedding day. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our engagement and wedding imagery, and our loved ones all echoed the same sentiment - that the photos really captured US. Every love is unique, and Christina and her team not only understand this, but know how to showcase that uniqueness in still and moving imagery (her videographer, Kim Bunce, is also wonderfully skilled). When we first started planning, my husband and I agreed that our wedding documentation was a top priority as it’s the piece that will last far beyond the food, flowers, or any other detail, and we could not have chosen better. Working with Christina was an absolute joy and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a fun, professional, and above all talented photographer.

ometown ever since! I adore her style - I would call it classy vintage with a twist of whimsy. She takes every opportunity to capture the unplanned little moments between people rather than focusing on poses, so you really feel like there is a personal connection to the images. Christina spends quite a bit of time with you in the weeks leading up to the wedding to discuss your vision for the wedding and logistics. She is also truly interested in hearing your love story (which I love to tell!) The really great thing about Nina Lily Photography is that Christina has been able to add several other very talented photographers to her company, which broadens availability. In fact, Christina was not available for my wedding, so her associate, Sarah, was the primary photographer and David was the secondary. I was beyond impressed with Sarah and David. Sarah was wildly creative and resourceful when we had a quick sprinkle during our pre-ceremony photo shoot. David was a perfect fly on the wall while my family gathered at the house before the ceremony. He captured some wonderful intimate moments like my grandmother applying her makeup and me and my mother chatting on the couch over a glass of wine. Both photographers were able to get all of the shots I requested without jeopardizing our time with friends and family, which I completely appreciate. I highly recommend Nina Lily Photography. Professionalism, quality and talent is abundant and they will provide you with beautiful photos to document your big day!

and organized but an easy going nice person to work with. I knew from her portfolio that she was a true artist and was versatile with lots of styles. She truly captured our day perfectly and artistically. On the day of our wedding she was efficient, kept things running smoothly in terms of all the family formals and planned pictures as well as made sure to check in with me often to make sure I was comfortable with everything (it was on the verge of downpour the whole time we were photographing outside but we were able to get some amazing shots before the rain!). Our attendants and family all commented that she really captured us all being ourselves and it was easy going and natural. She is the best!

confidence that my wedding photos were going to be unique, gorgeous and reflect personality. I constantly receive compliments on my pictures and people always say that they wished they knew about Nina Lily before their weddings. I have at least a few friends who don't quite have the ring yet but now they are have their photographer picked out when their day comes! Christina and her photographers were awesome to work with from start to finished product. Even though I got married during a hurricane, you'd never be able to tell. Haha! Thank you!

rk with, as are her assistants. We highly recommend Nina Lily Photography to anyone looking for unique photos.

and on our wedding day. I have no complaints. We had so many compliments on how great our pictures were. I'd recommend her over and over again!

where to shoot our engagement photos, she help us to pick the perfect location by asking us where we had been, and what we liked about each place. She has the skill of vision and "the big picture". I would have to say that everyone in my family who meet her, loved her! She has a great way about her which is very helpful in making people cooperate while trying to take pictures. Out of all of our vendors I think she was our best decision. If you are looking for a photographer that gives that little something extra you should pick Christina! She is just awesome! I can't say enough about her pictures... we love them and her!

hroughout the entire planning process and the day of. I would without a doubt recommend her to anybody!
