Hi! I’m Lily
PHOTOGRAPHER AND CREATOR OF LOVE, LILY PHOTOGRAPHY.
While I mostly shoot weddings, portraits, and event photography, my passion takes me to all kinds of destinations and photoshoots. I'm inspired by people, places and how taking a photo has the power to capture a single moment forever.
I have a degree in Art and proudly attended Orange Coast College and Cal State Fullerton. Being creative is my specialty, while also being self-disciplined and focused at work. I pride myself on arriving on time for everything.
Photography makes me happy. I’m lucky to have it as my profession. At present I'm based in Orange County, California but happily work anywhere in world!
I live with my husband Jonathan and our fur baby- Cashmere, a Siberian Husky. I love capturing special moments. Let me create a beautiful story for you!
Love,
Lily

The results were nothing short of stunning; her talent behind the camera truly shone through in every shot, perfectly capturing the essence of such a special moment in our lives. We are truly grateful to Lily for giving us cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you, Lily, for your exceptional talent and making our experience so unforgettable. “

“Lily is by far THE most talented photographer I’ve ever worked with! Her attention to detail, professionalism, fun-loving personality, and enthusiastic nature made my husband and I feel so confident and comfortable on our wedding day! Lily and her assistant Aleigha were literally voted MVP’s of our entire wedding by our wedding party because they basically served as our wedding coordinators, hype women, and photographer all wrapped up into one amazing package! We can’t thank Lily enough for such an incredible experience, not only on our wedding day but also during the entire planning process and our engagement photo shoot. Thank you again Lily, you’re truly the best!!”

“Lily and her partner photographed my wedding and were amazing! I wanted to be worry free the day of my wedding and that is exactly how I felt. No one wants an overwhelmed bride anyways, right? Lily was very patient with my husband and I and let us be ourselves and do our own thing. We’re not really the posing type so she encouraged us to be authentic, while still being able to capture the most beautiful moments. She even took pictures of us while devouring our appetizers after the ceremony. So don’t say you can’t eat at your own wedding cuz that’s pretty much all we did, and danced. She was exceptionally quick with her editing skills. We received a handful of pictures in less than a week of our wedding, and the rest less than a month after. I would and do recommend Lily to everyone I know, and if they don’t use her, well then that’s their mistake! Lily is the sweetest and she will never disappoint! XOXO.”

“Lily photographed our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this past spring. Lily had amazing ideas and suggestions- being a seasoned California girl, she knew how to capture the best beach photos. She was fun to work with and made the whole process very easy.
One of the most exciting moments of getting your wedding photos back is realizing you love them all and cannot possibly frame that many pictures! We hoped to get a few photos that we truly loved and ended up with hundreds.
Lily, we cannot praise you enough for your fabulous personality, effort, and skills. Thank you for making our special day last forever ♥️”— Kyla & Mitch Sparks
“Lily has been my go-to photographer for all of my photo needs for corporate events. I coordinate everything from intimate client dinners to large cocktail receptions in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas for my law firm. I can always count on Lily to be on time (though she is sometimes at the venue earlier than I am), professional, intuitive and artistic with the photos she takes. Depending on the event, attendees range from our attorneys, their c-level executive clientele/contacts and sometimes families with children of all ages. She is able to capture great moments between colleagues, families and venues itself. She turns the photos around quickly too! Lily has an amazing personality to match the amazing photos she produces. I refer Love, Lily Photography to all of my family, friends and colleagues!”

“Lily is more than your photographer-- she is an artist, your friend, and nothing short of a top-notch professional. She was so kind and easy to work and communicate with throughout the wedding process from start to finish and it truly felt like we had known her for years. She cares deeply about her clients and it shows. Her experience shined through on the day of when she was able to gracefully manage large family groups, keep organized and keep on time---mind you, all while making it look easy and keeping a great attitude. She's the kind of person you want at your wedding and on top of that she will also deliver beautiful photos! Thank you for everything, Lily!”

“Lily photographed our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! From the moment we met, I could feel her immense passion for photography and special occasions. She was willing to have meetings with me before the wedding to go through the day-of timeline and specific people or moments we’d like to capture. On the wedding day she had great communication and time management skills, she was very professional and most importantly, she made everyone in front of her lens feel like their best self; comfortable and beautiful in their own skin. The product was utterly amazing! She has such a good eye for special moments and the quality of the photos were excellent! We are so incredibly happy with our wedding photos and would have her photograph for us again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Lily to capture your milestones!”

“While neither of us are naturals in front of the camera, with Lily's skills, you wouldn't know it! Lily is above and beyond the most compassionate, talented, and artistic photographer. From the get-go, her communication with us was empathetic and assuring, and that translated so well to working together with her in person. She was punctual and nailed the shot each and every time - and she helped give us a lot of advice, not just on how to pose but how to enjoy our special day. Lily is such a buoy of joy, so even catching a glimpse of her out of the corners of our eyes helped us feel so reassured during a hectic and busy day, and helped us feel more less awkward in front of the camera. We have gotten so many compliments on the amazing shots Lily captured, and are so grateful that she went above and beyond to include every person in our photos and made them all look incredible. We can't wait to have some of her work hanging on our walls and will be recommending her to everyone we know!”
