The Best Photographers Ever!

We had our wedding in June 2022 and hiring Abben and Lily as our photographers was one of the best decisions that we had made. We fell in love with the photos they posted on their website and since we had never taken professional photos before, we were unsure if they would be able to do the same for us. However, the photos they took went above and beyond what we expected. They were truly worth every penny and you could feel their experience/style in every photo. They were extremely pleasurable to work with and was one of our vendors that eased our anxiety throughout the whole process. We've framed so many of the photos they took and they look beautiful in our house. If you are looking for the best photography for your event, I highly recommend Abben & Lily.

Booked only 4 months in advance with no regrets!

We originally had a different wedding photographer booked since 2019 but they were not communicative like emails about when we would hear from them again would go unanswered. So, after a couple postponements due to the pandemic and it looked certain we would FINALLY have our wedding in 2022, we knew we wanted a change. We found Abben and Lily from SAW (IYKYK) just by luck in Feb of 2022. Yes, only 4 months before the wedding! Immediately, it was a stark different. Abben was our point person and was very responsive. As this was an unforeseen and un-budgeted item, we only booked the one photographer package and Abben was our photographer. The day of the wedding, he was great and the photos came out gorgeous. We are so glad and relieved to have switched. It was a hectic day but we were so happy to go through the pictures and surprised at the moments he was able to capture. Truly ecstatic to have this day captured perfectly after 4 years of planning.

10/10 - Captured our wedding perfectly!

Abben and Lily were phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Our August 2020 wedding underwent major changes due to Covid, and we sincerely appreciated Lily's flexibility. She even let us pick her brain about some of the changes, and her suggestions were spot on. Most importantly, we absolutely love the photos. We said we were hoping for casual candid shots, and Lily delivered. Abben and Lily are organized, friendly, professional, and great at what they do.

Love our wedding photos

Abben and Lily were SO wonderful to work with. We were originally supposed to get married in August 2020, but had to cancel due to COVID. We went through several backup plans and Lily was so flexible and willing to work with us on all of them, even when we ultimately settled on a date only a month in advance. We had a great time shooting with Lily the day of too. Lily put us both at ease and managed to capture us just being ourselves. She had lots of great prompts and questions to get us talking and laughing and just generally having a good time. Even my husband, who does not love having photos taken and can't hold a straight face for more than a minute talked about how much he enjoyed taking our wedding photos :) The photos themselves turned out lovely - they are high quality, classic, and they capture our personality and relationship. Our parents (including my dad who used to shoot weddings and works with pro photographers regularly), kept saying how lovely they are and how glad they were to have the photos. Overall, I'd highly recommend Abben and Lily! Thank you again!

Simply the best!

Our experience with Abben & Lily far exceeded our expectations! While we had never taken professional photos before, Lily guided us through the day, and made us feel very comfortable. Their photography style captured us exactly as we are, which enabled us to recognize the love and joy in each photo. We are so grateful and could not be happier with our decision to hire Abben & Lily!

Suberb photographer duo!

Abben and Lily have been such a blessing to us! We found out about them through a friend for our engagement shoot. We loved our engagement photos so much (and our families could NOT get over them!) that our choice was clear for our wedding photographers. Flash forward to 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic changed every plan we had for our wedding. Abben and Lily were so accommodating and flexible with our constantly evolving plans. We ended up having a tiny intimate wedding with just our immediate families in our chapel, and a quick backyard lunch to celebrate. Abben and Lily blended in and let the day unfold organically – our wedding day was carefree and perfect. They made our bridal photos fun, with just the right amount of direction and allowing us to be our goofy selves (even helping us to film a TikTok)! We absolutely love how they’ve captured our day exactly as it was – full of light and joy – through beautiful photos that we will treasure forever.

Great experience, start to finish!

Abben and Lily were great to work with. I contacted them after finding their photos on Instagram and falling in love with the timeless look and bold colors (they really stood out from some of the current wedding photography trends). After meeting with the two of them for coffee, my now husband and I decided we were all set - we made our decision without consulting any other photogs and couldn't be happier! Lily did a great job with our engagement shoot and communicating with both of them throughout the wedding planning process was easy and incredibly helpful.

We initially planned to have both of them shoot our wedding, but due to a last-minute emergency we ended up only having Abben with us for the day - but he did a GREAT job covering the wedding, doing the job of two photogs, and delivering everything we were hoping for. He did a great job capturing the vibe we wanted and getting all of the shots we requested.

We love our photos and really enjoyed working with Abben & Lily and cannot recommend them enough.

Beautiful, classic photos that capture every special moment

Abben and Lily photographed our wedding and we are overjoyed with the results!! On the day of the wedding, they were so professional and made sure to get all of the shots we included in our shot list. They are great at staging photos and putting everything in the best light possible. The photos we got back exceeded our expectations! They captured the emotion of the day with the perfect amount of candid and posed photos. They even got photos of special moments that we did not even consider or realized they captured! They made use of every minute they were with us to capture beautiful photos and we cannnot recommend them enough to capture your special moments.

We chose Abben and Lilly Photography because we trusted them from our first meeting and we are so happy with our choice. We recently had our engagement photos done and are overjoyed with the results! Lily was great at calming our nerves and was full of creative ideas that made the shoot so much fun! She was so accommodating and wanted to make sure we got every shot we had in mind. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful :) We would highly recommend them and cannot wait to have them photograph our wedding.

Wedding Photography

Abben & Lily did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. They were easy to work with, and met with us several times before the big day to clarify all the details. They took wonderful shots on the wedding day and were flexible about going to different locations and working on a shot list with us to make sure everything came out perfectly. They were very reasonably priced, did an incredible job, and were just plain fun to be with on our day- we highly recommend them!
