About

Hi. Hello. How are you? Welcome to McKinley Made.

I am sure you are very busy (and probably a bit overwhelmed) with all the wedding planning so I'll try and keep this quick. We are a husband and wife, photo and film duo. Lilli is the lead photographer and Josh is the lead videographer! We want to capture you and your honey while making you feel special and loved, as you should queen (or king)... and of course promote God's love + mental health awareness while we are at it.

Sincerely,

The McKinley's :)

10/10 would recommend!

Lili and Josh are the perfect photo and film duo. We hired them for engagement photos as well as photo and video on our wedding day and we are very pleased with the results. If you are thinking of booking them for your wedding, I would highly recommend booking an engagement shoot as well. This allowed me and my husband to get to know Lili, her style, allowed us to feel (somewhat) comfortable in front of the camera, and it was an opportunity to see what types of photos we like best and which ones we could live without. This really helped us plan our shot list for the day of the wedding.

Wedding day arrived and Lili and Josh were prompt, had excellent time management, wrangled our family and bridal party like the professionals they are! Everyone knew where they needed to be and they both made the process of taking pictures very easy and quick! Because let's face it, no one wants to take photos for hours after the ceremony, you want to party!! Lili was very efficient! I also had some special photo requests which she managed into our timeline seamlessly. We got our photos and video back within the time frame we agreed on. 10/10 would recommend and I hope to work with them again for other photoshoots in the future!

Best decision we made

I could not recommend Lilli & Josh more. From our first email exchanges, they were very organized and always responsive. On our wedding day first meeting them they were so kind and I felt fully confident that they were going to capture all of our best memories. We just got our video back and my husband and I cried at how beautiful it was and how we felt like we were reliving our wedding day. There are no words to say how grateful we are for the McKinleys!!! If you have not booked videography, this is your sign to book them. You will NOT regret it.

Engagement Shoot

My fiancé and I loved working with Lilli and Josh! They made us feel so comfortable during the shoot and did a great job capturing our personalities and our relationship. We love our photos and would recommend McKinley Made to any of our friends and family looking to get pictures done in the Pensacola area. They were so easy to work with and communicate with throughout the whole planning process.

One of a Kind!

Lilli was a last-minute hire for me because I wanted to get boudoir photos done for my soon-to-be husband’s birthday. I had ZERO experience with this and was so afraid of doing it alone that I brought my best friend with me. Let me tell you guys…Lilli is one of the friendliest people I have ever met. She made sure I felt comfortable and confident the entire time. She set up a great background in her own apartment, pumped up some music and chatted with me and my friend. We left laughing and feeling great about the decision. The photos turned out SO elegant. My man cried from how good they looked and Lilli had everything to do with that. Her angles and her lighting were classic and she has a great natural eye. I was shocked with how fantastic her work was for the price as well! Thank you, Lilli, for such a great last-minute experience, because I probably would have just hid behind a bedsheet otherwise!

Lilli, you did a fantastic job and I still want a family photo set with you sometime.

Lilli is wonderful!

If you are considering booking Lilli Claire, do it. I never got to have a ceremony due to COVID and my husband being active duty, so when we finally got settled and started planning a ceremony, it was important to us to have something small and intimate. Lilli was so understanding of our wants/needs and helpful when deciding on how to book her for our special day. I talked to her prior to, and she made me feel comfortable and confident that we would be getting the exact memories captured that we were looking for. The day of the wedding Lilli was amazing. She is super easy to talk to, and I instantly felt comfortable around her, which made having pictures taken one of the best parts of the day. She sent sneak peaks the day after the wedding, and they are stunning. I am amazed at what she was able to capture, and I am so excited to see the rest and share them with family and friends. Highly recommend Lilli Claire to anyone booking their wedding or other special events.

Definitely Recommend

I cannot say enough good things about Lilli! I am SO glad I booked with her. She captured every single moment that I asked her to, and a million other moments I never would have thought of. Lilli never minded answering all of my questions, and she kept me in the loop the throughout the entire process. Plus- she was sweet and fun to have around on the day of the wedding. Lilli gave me the dream pictures to always remind me of my dream wedding. Book her!
