About

My name is Lynnsey Phillips and I'm the one-woman show behind Lionlady Photography a Seattle-based wedding photographer that travels worldwide for weddings.

Photography is my ultimate way of connecting with people. In fact, I was pretty shy in college and used to bring my camera to parties to have something to do when conversations lulled. People grew to know me through my images and I started getting commissioned for paid projects. It wasn't until I was asked to do someone's engagements that I really fell in love. Capturing people (especially the ones in love) has been the joy of my life thus far. Fun fact: anywhere I travel, I dedicate at least a half-day to photographing the people where I am.

The best part about what I do is forming relationships with all sorts of people. I actually remain friends with many of my couples. You can't form a bond and then just say goodbye when the job is done. A huge part of being your wedding photographer is learning who you are separately and who you are together. That's the majority of my job leading up to the wedding. Once we've got that connection, the imagery we create will truly represent you and the emotion you feel for each other.

A must for your wedding

I want to cut and paste all the reviews above me and say DITTO. Lynnsey contributed more to our wedding than I thought possible. She helped with timelines, settings, ideas, and by offering the gift of friendship. The dozens of reviews are all consistent; Lynnsey is a photo ninja who exudes talent, calmness, kindness, and joy. She is a type-A creative. She is a stranger who immediately becomes the best friend you didn't know you needed. She will legitimately give a guest her bra if there is a wardrobe malfunction (don't ask me how I know this). Lynnsey is a visual storyteller. As an artist, she instinctively sees all the rules of composition while spontaneously capturing emotional moments. It is obvious she adores her clients and that telling your love story brings her as much joy as it will you. She is extraordinary and will capture every moment you will never want to forget. I could go on for pages about her talent and professionalism, but her photos speak for themselves. If you're reading this...STOP and book her; you won't regret it.

A seriously amazing photographer

Lynnsey was absolutely instrumental to the success of our wedding. She worked with us during the planning process to understand our needs and create a timeline of events, she scoped out the venue before our ceremony to find the best angles and lighting, and was a consummate professional when the day finally came. Her demeanor was both calming and professional, giving her the ability to corral our extremely excited (and sometimes nervous) wedding party for posed photos.

Most importantly, her photographs were simply amazing and will undoubtedly become a permanent reminder of our special day. Lynnsey has a supernatural ability to get amazing candid photos and was able to capture some extremely intimate moments that surely would have gone unremembered otherwise.

Having Lynnsey as our photographer was an absolute delight. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any friends or family.

Such a talent!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer or considering Lynnsey - I just came here to say that she not only captured the most stunning and personal images from our wedding day (I can't believe they are ours and of us) but she brought the most calming yet in control demeanor to our day. She really is a special photographer - these pictures have the eye of someone who has known us our whole lives - not just the ones of us, but of our guests too- she captured the most beautiful yet fleeting moments of togetherness that bring me back to this day whenever I look at them. I'm so grateful to have that, what a special thing and that is what Lynnsey brings - she's exceptionally talented and I can't recommend her more highly. Worth also noting that in the months leading up to the wedding that you can lean Lynnsey for support with planning and logistics and she is incredibly professional and experienced and made the whole process very easy and I was incredibly grateful to have her as such an important part of this experience. I, personally, extended a bit more of my budget than I initially planned so that we could book Lynnsey and if you are in that same place, I'll just say that was incredibly worth it and I would make that choice again or pay more if that what was necessary because this work really is timeless and Lynnsey's expertise is worth it.

Highly recommend!

AMAZING! Lynnsey was referred to us by our wedding planner. She took our engagement and wedding photos, as well as our wedding video. Her style is so intimate and timeless! We felt really comfortable with her taking the photos, which was amazing because both of us are a bit camera shy. I highly recommend.

If you want the best, don't look any further.

I'm not going to comment on the photos, because Lynnsey's work is clearly amazing and speaks for itself. What I will emphasize is how much of a joy she was to work with. Before the wedding, communication was clear and consistent and my wife and I felt very comfortable leading up to the big day.

On the day of the wedding, she kept us both at ease and we had a great time doing our portraits. She does an amazing job balancing her expertise with our personal photo requests, and I really felt like we were listened to. Beyond that, she has a great attitude which became evident when it started hailing on us in the middle of the shoot! Instead of getting frustrated, she pulled a clear umbrella out of her bag and used the rain to capture some of our favorite shots.

During the wedding itself, Lynnsey was invisible to both of us and yet somehow captured every key moment in both the ceremony and on the dance floor. I don't know how she does it all on her own!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lynnsey and Lionlady Photography to anyone looking for not only incredible photos but a lovely, professional person to work with.

Amazing Boise wedding photographer

Lynnsey is a phenomenal wedding photographer. She truly captured the best moments of our rainy reception (which had to be re-planned because it was in 2020) and those unplanned, unposed moments are some of my favorite pictures.

Amazing and Artistically Unparalleled

My husband and I used Lynnsey as our videographer at our wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning! We almost didn't have a videographer, but we are so happy we did. Having videos from our wedding day is incredible, and Lynnsey's work is artistically unparalleled. We are so fortunate that she was able to work with us!

Amazing photographer, unforgettable memories, beautiful photos!

I am so happy we booked Lynnsey for our wedding! She is the sweetest person, knows how to make everyone feel relaxed, and captured the most beautiful photos of our day. Some of my most favorite moments from the day were spent with her - walking all along the trails near our ceremony site, laughing with my new spouse, and enjoying time together while she captured the most gorgeous photos. From the get go, Lynnsey was so thoughtful and kind with us. She got to know us as a couple over drinks when we were in the research phase, and that kind of care and attention blew us away. She made us feel like old friends, and we immediately knew we wanted that kind of energy present on our wedding day. She also was incredibly helpful through the entire process, going above and beyond to support us when our entire wedding day plans changed due to COVID-19.

Lynnsey makes sure to capture the moments that you don’t even realize are happening, but are so glad you get to see after the fact. I’m talking about the sweet moments between your family members, funny pictures of your pets who are celebrating alongside you, artistic shots of your veil blowing in the wind, etc. She captures all of the love and excitement of the day, and most of the time you don’t even realize she was there. Not that we didn’t want her there of course, it’s just amazing to me how you can be having a very intimate moment and not even notice pictures are being taken. That’s one of her superpowers and also why everyone felt so relaxed and at ease.

When my friend viewed our wedding photos she said, “Wow. These photos of y’all with the landscape are incredible, and the close up photos of everyone are just as amazing. Most photographers I’ve seen are really only great at one or the other. But every photo here is perfect.” She’s totally right - Lynnsey can do it all. She provided us with stunning photos of us in the mountains and of Mother Nature showing off, and photos of all the up close, detailed, personal moments of the day too. We cannot thank her enough and cannot stress how much of a joy she was to work with.

Have you hired her yet?!

Lynnsey is the best of the best when it comes to wedding/elopement photography and a gem of a human!! Hire her...like yesterday!! I've known her for a while as I am in the wedding industry as well and have always loved her photos and how she can make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera! We knew going into the day we'd be happy with whatever she gave us! However her (and all our vendors) impressed us most with how they showed up for us when our intimate wedding in Scotland had to be canceled 4 days before we were supposed to leave, due to Covid 19. We were obviously heartbroken but we were still able to get married around home, on our original date, in the PNW. We had a blast romping around with her and our videographer! Have you hired her yet?! :P Thank you Lynnsey!! We love you, we love our photos!

Radiant photos from an authentic photographer

I am a wedding planner and have worked with Lynnsey in many capacities over the last two years. Not only is she a smart business lady, she is also an authentic and vulnerable human being. She has a gift of connecting with her clients and creating deep connections. Those connections show up in the radiance of her photos. I consider myself lucky to be able to work with Lynnsey, knowing that every couple she works with is bound to have a phenomenal experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
