    Amazing photographer

    I would recommend Jiho over and over. He was an absolute dream to work with from the very first email, he was amazing on our wedding day, and he delivered the most incredible photos within 2 weeks of our wedding! Everyone was swooning over what beautiful photos he was able to capture.

    Hire Jiho - Just Do It.

    From our first meeting, Jiho was friendly, accommodating, thoughtful, and opinionated. He offered his opinion as an expert while also accepting any ideas that we requested. He struck a balance that we didn't receive from any other vendor. Shortly put, Jiho is a professional. BUT IT GETS BETTER - Jiho is also an incredible artist. As we looked through our photos (which he turned around in less than 6 weeks!!), we couldn't pick a favorite. Every. Photo. Was. Amazing. Stop looking for photographers and hire this man (and his team - Ryan was a superstar). Check photographer off your list and worry about something else.

    Best photographer!!

    Jiho is absolutely AMAZING!! Choosing a great photographer to capture our wedding day was very important to my husband and I since these photos will last a lifetime. Jiho was better than we could have ever imagined. He is very talented and has a great eye for capturing the best shots. The candid shots they got from our wedding are incredible and I truly feel like I’m reliving our wedding as I scroll through the pictures. Him and Ryan were our photographers on our wedding day and they were both extremely organized and were able to capture all of the important shots that we wanted and more. Jiho was also super helpful before the wedding. He helped us with our timeline to make sure we were able to get the pics we wanted but also enjoy our wedding... he nailed it! I can’t say enough positive things about Jiho and his team and I’m so happy we were able to have him and Ryan capture our special day!!

    If there are 100 and more stars on Google for reviews, I'd give it to Jiho! He is incredible. He responded 5 minutes after I sent my inquiry and gave great suggestions of dates and times for our engagement session.

    My fiance and I loved how he would make the most of out of the place and situation. He is very creative and has an eye for details. The pictures turned out amazing!

    Amazing Photographer!

    I worked with Jiho for my wedding at Greenhouse Loft in Chicago on 11/2/19. Everything with Jiho was great from start to finish. A co-worker who loved her wedding photos recommended him to me. From my initial email on, Jiho was always responsive and provided very thoughtful answers to questions throughout the process. He gave really helpful advice about how to structure the day for photos and also looked out for my budget advising me when it wasn’t worth spending more money on something. On the day of – Jiho was ON POINT. He was able to take a ton of pictures throughout the day super efficiently to make sure we got everything we wanted. We did getting ready photos and the first look at one location, and then took wedding party photos at 4 different locations throughout the Logan Square area before the wedding. We then took photos with different family and friend groups before and after the ceremony. He was able to direct a ton of people very quickly and keep the day moving. Above all else – his pictures were STUNNING. We talked a lot about the style I was looking for and they turned out exactly as I wanted. He was great at capturing subtle moments with my husband and I throughout the reception and ceremony, and he was really creative with the group photos. And he got the photos to us in 6 weeks! Our experience with Jiho was great from start to finish, highly recommend!

    I'd give him 6 our of 5 stars if I could

    It’s hard to know where to start with Jiho Park. Full disclosure, he’s been a friend of mine for years, but I never had the opportunity to work with him and his photography business until my wedding day. He was kind enough to travel to Massachusetts in the dead of winter, and he made everyone involved comfortable and provided a ton of laughs. He’s so skilled at what he does that you never worry about what he’s going to do or how he’s doing it. He joked around with our wedding party during photos and got a ton of wonderful pictures with genuine smiles and laughter from everyone. My husband and I commented after the wedding that neither one of us had any idea where he was during the ceremony - he was a total ninja! He got so many amazing candid shots of us and our loved ones, it’s going to be impossible not to order prints of every single picture. I’m not good at being serious, so most of the pictures of me are ridiculous and goofy, and they’re perfect. I don’t know how he knows where to be to get the perfect picture at the exact right moment, but he does. And it’s incredible. After he published a few teaser photos, people were swooning over the artistic genius of the photos’ composition. And then when he released them all to share with our guests, people couldn’t stop saying wonderful things about them - and even a month after our wedding, people are STILL texting me just to say they looked through the photos again and felt like they were reliving the day all over again. I will cherish these photos forever, and we can’t thank Jiho enough for the wonderful experience we all had with him. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to book him for your wedding, DON’T BE. Book him immediately and know that this is one aspect of your wedding day you won’t have to worry an ounce about.

    Jiho was our most talented vendor. He does an amazing job with different lighting and took some beautiful, artistic photos. He also took some great documentary photos and captured great emotions of me, my husband and our guests. He took the formal family photos quickly so we could finish and celebrate the rest of the reception. Just look at his photos on his website and you'll see why I would recommend to everyone!

    Our pictures are beautiful, classic, timeless, in the moment, and more. It’s important that we found a photographer that really cared about her job and it showed! My future husband and I met up with Stephanie at a Starbucks to see what we would expect from wedding photography. Of course, you always want the posed shots, but we also wanted pictures that captured the moment in real time. Stephanie and the owner of Lilly Photography (Jiho) answered back to my emails right away with any questions that I had. Stephanie and her assistant were amazing on the day of our wedding! We love all of our pictures! We had such a hard time picking out a photographer, but we definitely made the right decision. At first, I was going to pick a commercial photographer (Timothy Whaley, etc), and I’m so glad that we did not. I spent countless days comparing photographers and reading reviews. Wedding photos are timeless, and it is something that goes through the generation of families. We got married on June 9, 2018, and got our pictures back by June 24, 2018. Their are so many different pictures that we love. The pictures really tell the story of our wedding day and how happy we were the whole day. We decided to have our day photographed for 9.5 hours. I’m glad that we made the investment in Lilly Photography because the pictures were priceless!!!

    I could not be more thrilled with the stunning photos of our wedding prep, ceremony and reception. Jiho Park is truly an artist and expert at his craft. Right from the beginning, Jiho was warm and knowledgable. He helped me understand his process/style and then worked to get a gist of what I was looking for. On the day of, he was professional and lovely. I was able to enjoy the day with total confidence that Jiho would take it away. The photos turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined and I would highly recommend LILLY for your photography needs.

    I am so in love with my wedding pis! Jiho and Stephanie did an amazing job with our photos. We chose them because we wanted someone who was going to be able to capture the in-between photos. I continue to be amazed at how they captured the day. They took our winter evening wedding and turned it into a masterpiece. They did not pressure us into doing a first look and were flexible to what we wanted and the timeline we had. Highly recommend them!

    Jiho made my wedding day effortless. I hadn't realized how essential the photographer is to the organization and flow of the big day until I met Jiho and his team. They took care of me so well that I felt like I just floated through the day. Jiho accomplishes this because he has the perfect personality for this job--he calmly and subtly keeps things on track, but he is relaxed and SO creative at the same time. He worked with my plans while making little tweaks and giving me professional advice in a non-judgemental way. I was so happy that he was there on my big day.

    The photos are wonderful. Jiho is particularly talented at capturing the following:
    -Moments of love (as I started walking down the aisle, he snapped a shot of my dad looking proudly down at me)
    -Flattering/ heartwarming candids
    -Humor (I laughed out loud multiple times looking at my gallery)
    -Unexpected views/angles (I never could have dreamed that some of the architecture photos would turn out as artistic as they are)
    None of my photos feel cliche. I feel like he captured the emotions, the color, the grandeur of the venue, and the joy of that day in a way that makes me feel like I am re-living the wedding day when I look at these photos.

    Picking Lilly Photography and Jiho's team was a decision that has left me with perfect memories that I can cherish for years! Thank you so much!

    We hired Jiho to photograph our July 7, 2017 wedding, and knew we wanted him as our photographer from our first phone meeting when he called himself a "photo ninja". He was exceptionally easy to work with, explained things quickly and concisely, and clearly had confidence in what he does, which put me at ease. When he showed up the day of the wedding, he immediately started taking pictures, and directing shots. Our wedding coordinator said that he was one of the best photographers she had worked with because he kept to the outlined schedule and was VERY conscientious of time. Besides all of that, our photos are gorgeous, and we could not be happier with what he shot. We very highly recommend Jiho to photograph any important event, as he will do a phenomenal job.

    Jiho is incredible! From the very beginning, we were met with the utmost professionalism. Our inquiries were always answered same-day, which was so appreciated. Regarding our wedding photos, they completely blew us away. Jiho has such a creative eye and amazing attention to detail. He captured so many small, sweet moments I had forgotten had even happened in the whirlwind of the wedding day. He does a perfect job of blending artistic, "wow" photos, and capturing raw emotions. Also, during the ceremony and reception I don't even remember seeing him, which in my opinion is what also makes a great photographer. He blended in and was able to take the most stunning photos we have ever seen. They are true works of art. I will be recommending him and his team to everyone I know in need of a wedding photographer.

    Jiho is kind, brilliant, talented, and will work with anyone and everyone. Jiho was incredibly responsive and eager to meet with my parents and me, and my dad and I truly loved his work. We dabble in photography for fun and thought Jiho was not only a talented photography, but also an incredible artist. He took our wedding photos on Sept. 4, 2016. Every photo is BEAUTIFUL! There isn't a bad photo of anyone: bride, groom, families, wedding party, friends, etc. Jiho has a fair price for his work, which we also loved. After seeing wedding photos from other friends and family (of their weddings), I know my parents and I made the right decision in choosing Lilly photography. Jiho and Kathleen captured so many beautiful and memorable moments throughout the day and evening, including some that my husband and I don't remember at all (wedding day was a blur!). Jiho and Kathleen were also very respectful of my rabbi's wishes to not use flash photography during the ceremony and stayed in the aisles to get photos. I was concerned about this, but the ceremony photos turned out to be beautiful! I also don't remember seeing Kathleen or Jiho often at all during the reception, and neither did my husband or my parents, which was great! The hardest part has been choosing which photos I want in a wedding album, which is not the worst problem to have! Thank you so, so much to Jiho and Kathleen for everything!

    We used Lilly Photography for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Jiho’s energy, passion, and professionalism from our first meeting to the wedding was second to none, and made me, as the bride feel comfortable and confident that our pictures were in such great hands. On our actual wedding day, Jiho was able to capture amazing moments and keep us on our schedule without feeling rushed so that my husband and I were truly able to enjoy our day. Besides the high quality professionalism that we got from Lilly Photography throughout this wedding process, the quality of our wedding pictures were unreal! After our wedding, it was exciting to check Lilly Photography’s Facebook page to see the different pictures that Jiho would post from our day. The turn-around time for all of the pictures was no time at all and we found the pictures to be very organized through our online client portal. The moments that Jiho was able to capture were ones that I will cherish forever. We are so grateful that we used Lilly Photography for our wedding and highly recommend them to other couples!

    We were so lucky to have Jiho photograph our wedding last month! It was obvious from the day we first reviewed his portfolio that he did incredible work. But when we received our photos a couple weeks back we were blown away at how stunningly beautiful they were. They captured not only the physical beauty of the day, but he & Kathleen truly took the feeling & atmosphere of the day & brought it to life in our wedding photos. Jiho was great to work with; so laid back & friendly, yet always professional and on top of everything. Highly recommended!!

    Jiho is an amazing photographer. He photographed a friend's wedding on a day that POURED...and with his last minute improvisation the pictures turned out absolutely FANTASTIC! So I booked him...his prices are very competitive but his work probably exceeds those values. He was flexible (we changed our wedding date and plans) and he came along with us to a destination wedding. He was so fun and a true pleasure to work with. Very professional AND personable! You can't go wrong.

    Jiho and Krista were wonderful to work with and will help us remember the details of our wedding for years to come! We were very lucky to find Jiho, and from my first phone conversation, I knew he would be great to work with. As my husband and I live in New York, Jiho was incredibly accommodating to ensure that we were able to get to know each other.

    The day of the wedding, Jiho and Krista took such beautiful photos! All of them are stunning- it was so wonderful to walk around the Art Institute with them taking photos before the ceremony. We were especially appreciative of him taking SO many family photos after the ceremony. All our family/friends love all the photos too!

    I highly recommend Jiho and Lilly Photography!

    Every couple should be so lucky to have a photographer like Jiho for their wedding day. Jiho was amazing at helping us organize our timeline for the day and ensured that we had all of the pictures we wanted while also giving us time to socialize with friends and family. He went out of his way to take pictures at my grandmother's house before the wedding and found ways to take candid pictures of my very photo-shy grandma.

    Jiho and Amy were troopers throughout the day. It was the one day it snowed in November and we have the most breathtaking pictures because of their vision. Not only would I hire Lilly Photography again but I have strongly recommended others to use them. I can't wait until we have an opportunity to hire them again! Thank you so much to Jiho and Amy, friends and family are still raving about our photos!

    His dedication and love of photography comes through in every exchange you have with him. His entire purpose is to give you the very best pictures for your day. The cherry on top is the incredible turnaround time that we had our pictures. He is a professional that clearly pushes himself to be the very best.

    There are not enough words to describe how AWESOME of an experience we had with Jiho and Kathleen of Lilly Photography! We booked our wedding with Jiho and his assistant Kathleen about 20 months before our wedding, and are so happy we did. From our easy communication with Jiho, through our beautiful October engagement session, to our absolutely STUNNING July wedding photos; we would hire Lilly Photography over and over again. It was about 90 degrees on our wedding day, and you would never know from our professional photos. Jiho and Kathleen busted their rear-ends to get wonderful shots- even in these hot and humid conditions.

    Pictures are important to us, and I sincerely believe we could not have made a better decision with who we trusted to take our most important photos. What you see on his site is only a fraction of what you get...every single photo we received was just as beautiful as the highlight photos.

    We will definitely be contacting Lilly Photography to take our future family photos when the time comes!

    Thank you Jiho and Kathleen! You guys are the BEST in the business!

    If you are considering Jiho (Lily Photography) for any photos you will not be disappointed. We had Jiho take our engagement photos, engagement party and wedding day photos. He is a professional, a dream to work with. He has an eye for unique, BEAUTIFUL shots that will amaze you. Our wedding guests were so impressed with his enthusiasm and hard work for our BIG Greek wedding. A lot of our friends have already asked to work with him for upcoming events. Jiho asks all the right questions, gets the shots you didn't know you wanted and makes sure you are happy. For me, there is no one better for the most important (photo) day of your life. I HIGHLY recommend him. :)

    Lilly Photography is by far the best wedding pictures we have ever seen and we are so lucky to have them capture our big day. We worked with Jiho for our engagement session and wedding and could not have been happier. He is a fun, friendly, guy with an eye for photo ops like no other! His work is truly brilliant and he made everything fun. He definitely helped ease my nerves on the big day and was timely and worked with our budget. We chose not to go with a videographer and have no regrets after seeing the amazing work Jiho has produced with our photos. He captured the day perfectly! Book Lilly Photography now, you will not be disappointed!!

    I knew, when I got engaged, that photography was going to be one of my biggest splurges. I researched and contacted various photographers, but I finally chose Lilly Photography for their excited demeanor, their gorgeous online photo sessions, and their pricing. My photographers were Stephanie and Kathleen and they were an absolute delight. They were unobtrusive, yet they captured moments I thought they couldn't have seen. I chose two photographers because I wanted to make sure that both my husband's and my family could be represented. Through their pictures, I have been able to see various angles of the entire wedding day and I don't feel like I missed a single minute. Our portraits came out gorgeous and creative, and having them online has made them much more accessible. The turnaround was an impressive 3 weeks. I highly recommend this team of photographers, they rock!
