Lily recently photographed our wedding and exceeded our expectations. All of our photos are already back to us and they are beyond perfect. Aside from that, she was incredibly helpful throughout our entire day. She helped set up decor, made sure we remembered to eat, and even helped find my maid of honor’s lost phone. Lily’s work speaks for itself but she also genuinely cares and wants to make sure that you have a great day.

Lily is the absolute best photographer I could have asked for for my September 2020 microwedding. Her communication prior to the wedding was consistent and clear, and the pricing quote she provided was completely fair. On the day of, Lily was on time and had a great energy. She was efficient and did an awesome job of blending in with the crowd, while also wrangling my crazy family and friends to make sure that we used our time well and got all of the pictures we wanted. The morning after the wedding, she had already sent me 100+ edited pictures via iCloud which I was so impressed with.

I also can not express enough how happy I am with the way all of the pictures came out. We did our post-ceremony pictures on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, and let me just say, Seaside has never looked more chic. I will 100% be hitting Lily up for every other event in my life worthy of a photo shoot - thank you so much, Lily!!!

We have so many great things to say about Lily Szabo, but here's the bottom line: hire her! Cannot endorse strongly enough!

From our very first email, Lily was an incredible resource, a calm and thoughtful collaborator, and just a lovely, fun human. We were so lucky to work with her, and our photos turned out absolutely incredible. She was such a hero, start to finish!

Lily is so talented in both the technical aspects of photography and editing, and in the way that she put us immediately at ease, confidently gave us photo direction (hello, we are not models), wrangled our big "colorful" families for portraits, and kept our day-of timeline moving forward. Thinking back on our wedding day, what stands out is how seamlessly it all went -- largely thanks to Lily's expertise. She is a true pro, and exactly who you want on your team.

Lily surprised us by sharing a selection of our wedding photos on her blog... just a few days after the ceremony! Did I mention this was just a few days before Christmas? I literally gasped out loud when I saw our photos - they were of course stunningly beautiful, incredibly emotional, and truly captured the spirit of our day. Lily has an eye for the small moments, and there were so many gems in our final photo set. She completely blew us away.

We'll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives, along with our memories of the best day ever, and our friendship with Lily too. If you have the opportunity to work with Lily, do yourself a huge favor and hire her! Lily Szabo is the real deal.

Working with Lily was the best part of wedding planning and one of the best parts of our wedding day. Not only is the quality of her work exceptional, but Lily is a genuinely a terrific person to be around (and to have around on your wedding day - remember, she has been through this 1 million times and is a wealth of knowledge!). I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding photos already. Lily was the first vendor we booked, after seeing her work after a friend's wedding years prior and making a note to remember the name because we'd never seen wedding photos that were so beautiful and not-cheesy. I would book Lily again in a heartbeat, and working with her may be the one thing I'll miss about wedding planning!

Lily was recommended to us by a friend, and wow what an excellent recommendation it was! Lily is firstly an incredible photographer, but her calm demeanor, organization and ability to connect with family and friends makes her stand heads above the rest. We are so happy with our photos (engagement and wedding), and Lily's personality and guidance added so much to the day!

When planning our wedding the one thing I was absolutely dead set on was hiring Lily as our photographer.
The day of the wedding was perfect. Lily made my camera shy husband feel comfortable during the solo portraits before our first look. The small details she captured were incredible. My cat hair clip in honor of my late cat Mia, the necklace I wore for my aunt who couldn’t be there, the tattoo of my dogs name on my ankle and so many more shots that had me tearing up when looking at our gallery. Lily seamlessly made our two giant Italian families cooperate during the family portraits (a feat within itself) and captured the most perfect candids during the reception. It’s been almost a year and we are still completely obsessed with our wedding photos and show everyone who will stand still for long enough.
I cannot wait to book a family session with Lily after the birth of our first baby in May 2020!

Lily was recommended to me from my sister whose daughter was a flower girl in a wedding that Lily shot a few years ago. I perused her website and her instagram and was so impressed by her style of photography. Once we connected, though, I knew VERY quickly that Lily was exactly the type of person that I wanted to be leading the charge/in my corner on such an important day! I cannot express enough how incredible Lily was leading up to our wedding- between the engagement shoot to answering my many questions via email incredibly fast-Lily was always there for us. When it came time for our wedding day, I knew we were in the absolute best hands between her and her second photographer, Joe. Lily was early to my parent's house that day and I felt immediately relieved to see her! She led the charge between setting up the most creative backdrops for photos to making sure we were sticking to the schedule, and offering helpful advice throughout the whole day. Lily and Joe were in constant communication which was so helpful because he was with the groom and groomsmen at a different location prior to our first look. It made me so relieved to know Joe was doing the same thing for the guys! Both Lily and Joe helped us and our families with countless things throughout the day-from putting on the boutonnieres to bustling my dress once we got to the reception! They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Lily is just an all-around awesome person to be around, who also happens to take the most incredible photographs. We just got our full gallery back and it is unbelievable how much she was able to capture throughout our day. I couldn't believe some of the specific shots they got because I had no recollection of Lily or Joe being remotely nearby! They both somehow moved throughout our ceremony and reception without ever being intrusive or too blatantly obvious. That must be such a hard balance to achieve as a wedding photographer, but Lily dominated at it. To sum it up, looking for a wedding photographer who is incredibly talented and who is equally as awesome? You found her!

Where do I start? Lily was more than just an amazing photographer, she is the person that actually MAKES your wedding preparation worth your while. We had actually already done a shoot with another photographer before, so we were able to compare the experience and I can say that Lily’s photos and the whole shooting experience was sooooo much superior. After the photo shoot with Lily, we came away feeling ever closer, relaxed and happier as a couple (albeit in a stressful time!).
7 Reasons Why You Should Book Lily:
1. Lily suggested the perfect times and places to take the best photos considering lighting and other factors.
2. ^That was sunrise (=6am) for our shoot, and she came prepared and ready to go before 6am. Regarding punctuality, she even delivered the photos earlier than she had originally said which we realllly appreciated given the time crunch!
3. Lily knew where the best places to take photos are, and was quick to see the opportunities in new spots (we did ours in Central Park). I lived in NYC for seven years, never been to many of the places she took us in CPark - it was like I got a tour lol
4. Lily made it so EASY for us (=awkward and unexperienced-at-romantic-photos couple) to look more relaxed and in love, by engaging us in fun conversations while taking the photos.
5. Lily gave great direction in terms of where to place the hands, arms, legs, and head when out of balance.
6. She (at least seemed like she) enjoyed the sessions together, climbing rocks and almost getting splattered on by running dogs. She made the whole experience so cherishable.
7. Most importantly, I am EXTREMELY happy with the photos. They are stunning, natural (don’t look forced thanks to her direction skills), and brings back fun memories of the shoot.
I 1000% recommend Lily wholeheartedly!

Working with Lily was one of my favorite experiences in wedding planning. Her style truly tells more of a story than traditional wedding images - you can watch the whole day unfold through them -- but she still captures the photos you want to send to your parents for the holidays. It was her style of photography that had me hooked and once we connected we immediately realized this would be an incredible partnership because her personality is both professional and addictive! She was honest and open with what it is I was looking for - from budget to shot list - as well as finding a way to make all the timing day-of work. Also hiring the Sprinkle Booth was the best decision - we have hundreds of fun photos of our guests to enjoy for years to come. I have already been recommending Lily to everyone and I'll continue to do so! I never thought I would be this obsessed with my wedding photos. There is truly no other photographer like her in this area.

Sure, you could find someone to photograph your wedding for next to nothing, but c'mon, you want it done right, in the least obtrusive way, with someone who understands your ideas, your personality and your vision for your big day. This is Lily to a "T." I'm no professional model, so I don't have routine experience with having my picture taken. I tend to clam up or give the most awkward, forced smiles in the world. Despite my personal shortcomings, Lily blew us out of the water with her work. Do yourself a favor and look at her site - as soon as I did, I knew that this was EXACTLY the style I wanted. She does beautiful work and is worth every single penny we spent. For us, there was no one else I could've imagined capturing these moments. She's simply the best!
