    Incredible Experience with Lightly Photography

    I would and already have recommended Lightly Photography to other brides! They were recommended by our venue, The Ashton Depot, and I was so glad. I felt put at ease as soon as I spoke to Jennifer Aguilar. I wasn’t quite sure what to ask or discuss and she gently walked us through the process and potential options. We booked Jennifer for both engagement photos and our wedding day. I really appreciated her suggestion to provide my husband and I some time between ceremony and reception to capture photos on our own.
    As a very structured and scheduled bride, I was comforted by how organized and professional the company and especially, Jennifer, was in preparation for our big day. I appreciated their support on building our timeline and list of requested photos. On the big day, both Jennifer and CJ, second photographer, were timely and were great with organizing our big families for family photos. They were on the dance floor for all the dancing, and we are so blessed by their energy and support all day long.
    Last, but not least, the final photos were incredibly beautiful and captured our favorite moments from our wedding day. We were so excited to share with friends and family! It’s been hard to choose our favorite, but I’m thankful for their sharing processes and online photo albums. We look forward to working with Lightly Photography to build our heirloom album.

    I would recommend Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography to everyone!

    Tracy Autem & Lightly Photography is a preferred vendor for both the Fort Worth Club and the Hotel Drover! Two establishments I love and trust! Tracy and her team were energetic, engaging, personable and made us all feel at ease! Tracy is creative and has an amazing eye at capturing the right angle, lighting and expressions of her subjects. We've seen a few sneak peeks from wedding day. The pictures are stunning!

    Lightly Photography is the best!

    Highly recommend! Thank you to Amanda for taking such amazing bridal portraits and beautiful photographs of our best day! Amanda and her assistant Cassandra took gorgeous photos, and their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. All of our guests complimented how great they were on our wedding day, and helped make the atmosphere very relaxing and fun! Me and my husband were amazed with how prompt Amanda was at taking photos of our large families as well. She was so kind and helpful all around during my bridal portraits and the day of the wedding. Will certainly hire again in the future, especially for family portraits! Lightly Photography is hands down the BEST!

    A+ Photographers

    Absolutely wonderful company, photographers, and all around experience. Our photographer took the time to get to know us before hand, was flexible in providing us services that fit our needs, and was so fun and easy to work with. I have never liked having my picture taken but felt completely comfortable having her take our photos and guide us through poses. Every single photo we got back was absolutely beautiful and truly captured our big day. Jennifer was kind, understanding, and always made us laugh. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family.

    Amazing photography!! So happy with the results!

    Jennifer of Lightly Photography was so wonderful to work with! She was very kind and fun to work with throughout the whole planning process and on day of, too! She put me and everyone else at ease and when we had a power outage during the getting ready part of the day, she went with it and we got some beautiful photos as a result! Her work is phenomenal and I couldn't be any happier with the results -- sooo many gorgeous photos that my husband and I will cherish for a lifetime! I couldn't recommend Jennifer or Lightly Photography more!!

    So Easy to Work With

    We worked with Amanda at Lightly Photography for our February 2020 wedding and are so glad we did! We shot our engagement photos in November and she was super accommodating of location changes due to weather and made my camera-shy husband and me feel comfortable in front of the camera! The photos turned out great! She was so helpful in setting the timeline for photos the day of our wedding and handled all of our changes and edits beautifully. She kept us all right on track and we can't wait to receive our photos!

    My favorite vendor!

    I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved having Lightly as one of my vendors! Amanda is just SO creative and talented. Bonus: she’s also the nicest person I’ve ever met. Absolutely my favorite person to work with throughout our engagement and wedding!

    Lindsey was absolutely wonderful!! She got all the shots I wanted (I had a list) and then some even on a shorten time schedule and really hot weather. The lighting and colors popped. She also had a super quick turn around for delivering finals to us!!

    Wonderful Experience!

    We got to work with Tracy multiple times throughout our wedding process. She took our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding pictures. Every time working with her was amazing. She is a pro at what she does and captures so many special and meaningful moments. She is also so quick at getting people into the right poses and keeping the wedding day picture craziness moving. Tracy was also so much fun to work with and we both felt so comfortable with her and were able to truly enjoy every moment!

    Amazing experience

    What an absolute pleasure to have Tracy capture, so beautifully, my daughter’s engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Her pictures are of the highest quality in all aspects and will allow us to relive and remember all of these special and meaningful moments. However, most importantly, Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work and spend time with. Her very nature provides an amazing warm and caring experience. Along with stunning pictures you will also treasure every minute of your time spent with Tracy. I cannot recommend her more!

    Love our Photos!

    Amanda was wonderful! We met her when we did our engagement session, which I'd highly recommend as it gave us both a chance to get to know her before our big day.

    She did a great job of capturing our day and we're so happy with our photos! She was also super responsive and easy to work with. Thanks again, Amanda!

    Photography was super high on our priority list, and I am so incredibly happy we decided to work with Annie at Lightly Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures! Annie was stellar- she helped make our schedule and was super helpful and informative throughout the planning process, and on the wedding day not only did she keep our large (and fairly rambunctious) wedding party in line and on schedule, she pinned on boutonnieres, helped bustle my dress, and kept me feeling relaxed. She put up with weird requests, rowdy groomsmen, our huge families, schedule changes, and more without even batting an eye.

    On top of all of that, she captured our wedding day beautifully- she caught so many moments we missed or didn't remember, and captured the emotions of the day so well. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled to have such a perfect record of one of the best days of our lives. She knocked it out of the ballpark for our engagement pictures as well! She's still the only person I know who's managed to get my dog to look right at her for a picture.

    Annie's work is stunning and she and the rest of the Lightly team are a delight to work with. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Annie was SO AMAZING! We just got our photos back from our wedding (only 3 weeks after the wedding, by the way) and they are phenomenal. She was able to capture so many great moments! Also, she walked us through the wedding process with such poise and professionalism. Everyone in our wedding party loved working with her. She had a great positive positive attitude but was still about to tell everyone what to do effectively. We feel SO lucky that we had Annie photograph our wedding. We recommend her to everyone!

    I do not have my Bridal photos back yet but OMG! I do have a hand full of pictures my mom and sister took from the side and they are great! We worked with Jennifer this past Friday and she is hands down AMAZING! Her work ethic, patience, communication and overall being is just awesome! She made everything so easy even though it was 100 degrees the day we took Bridals. She did everything with a smile! I would recommend Lightly Photography to everyone and thank you so much Jennifer!!!

    Tracy and the Lightly Team were absolutely WONDERFUL!! They were so great to work with and so sweet! They are very accommodating to out of town couples as majority of the stuff can be done online. Tracy did our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding and all the pictures turned out AMAZING! Would definitely recommended Tracy to anyone! If you want amazing pictures that will last a lifetime use Tracy!

    Annie from Lightly Photography did our engagements and wedding day photos, and OH MY GOODNESS she is AMAZING! Hiring Annie was one of the best decisions we made. The pictures she took are absolutely gorgeous! Choosing which pictures to print is almost impossible because they're all amazing! Not only is Annie incredibly talented and has a great eye for what looks good in pictures, but she is such a joy to work with! Whoever you hire, you'll be spending one of the most important days of your life with them, and I am so glad Annie was there for us! She was so great in directing family/friends in pictures, making sure we weren't bombarded with arriving wedding guests when taking our bridal party pictures before the wedding, and giving us time during the first look and after the wedding to be alone together and really soak it all in! We loved everything about working with Annie and can't say enough good things about her!

    We booked Lightly for our wedding photography, and we are so glad we did! Amanda was fantastic - she was always quick to communicate and respond to our questions, even while we were living in another country. She helped us plan out the details for the day, and our schedule for photos. We got every shot we wanted and then some - every single photo is good. Our family and friends are so impressed with our photos, and we love having such a difficult decision in choosing between so many good photos. The Lightly team is very friendly, knowledgeable, and really care about your day - cannot recommend them more highly!

    Tracy Autem Photography is a blessing!! Tracy photographed my bridal portraits and our wedding day events! Right from the start, Tracy was a bubbling joy to be around. She has this amazing energy and wit about her! She made a very warm July photoshoot in a garden a blast and a half! She was efficient and knew exactly where she wanted to shoot considering the impending heat. Her office quickly followed up with a session to pick out bridal portraits to display. Although Tracy was unable to shoot our Rehearsal Dinner, we were lucky enough to have Annie with us! Annie also joined Tracy for our wedding day, which was great since we'd all met the night before. Annie and Tracy had our crew laughing all day, while being able to keep up with a behind-schedule timeline! You will not regret enlisting Tracy or her team for your big day!! I am so impressed with their timeliness, their professionalism and their overall joyful nature. Tracy and Annie were truly everything I hoped for! These are photos I will cherish for a lifetime and could only have gotten them with this dream team!! Tracy is my go-to for any future photos my family will need!

    We used Amanda and Annie with Lightly Photography for our wedding this past June. They were absolutely AMAZING!!! I was given their name by another photographer, who is a friend of mine, but she was booked. I am so thankful she recommended me to Amanda. Lightly Photography was very well priced, even with their travel cost for 2 photographers down to College Station, Texas. Amanda took my bridals in Dallas and I knew immediately how much I was going to love the pictures. She was so professional and yet fun to work with and really captured my personality. My bridals turned out SUPERB! On our actual wedding day Amanda and Annie were fantastic. They captured all of the big moments and so many little moments. I had multiple girls in my wedding party comment on how great they were because every time I turned around there was Amanda or Annie. They made sure they were always there capturing dance floor pictures or pictures of me and my guest. After the wedding Amanda put a sneak peak of her favorites on the Lightly Photography blog and Facebook, as well as creating us a short video from our wedding day. It was all so perfect! Pictures were one of my primary concerns and where I would have spent more money, if needed, to make sure I received excellent quality pictures. Lightly Photography blew away my expectations! I was thoroughly impressed with everything and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or just a photographer in general.

    Sarah Rizy is a photography rockstar! She did a great job leading the Lightly Photography team during our ceremony and reception. They were able to catch special moments and details from the day that I will cherish forever. Sarah is so easy to work with and made the entire day enjoyable despite the crazy storm and weather we encountered! In fact, she was able to use the weather to her advantage and capture some amazing storm cloud shots that are unique to us and are a special memory of our crazy, fun day!
