We were very happy with the quick response to our query, fast arrangements, and quality of the photos. She produced both black and white and color images with various 'looks' for competitions, recitals, concert programs, and summer festival applications, all in one afternoon. We received the photos within 24 hours.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Lily for over a year. She was the one and only…read morevideographer I callEd when I made the decision to have videographer for my wedding. We spent about 2 HOURS on that first phone call. She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, learn about our families and our life. She invited us out to her hometown for a BONUS engagement shoot. The photos from that shoot are some of my FAVORITE photos I have of myself and now husband. Leading up to our wedding, I did not hire a coordinator (because it was in our backyard), due to this my timeline was a little disjointed. Lily came swooping in and ORGANIZED everything last minute. She coordinated with my other vendors to make the day flow smoothly. Her management of a wedding day was never interpreted as "unprofessional." It comes from a place in her heart of wanting what's best for her brides and providing a heartfelt product. Lily/Gardenhouse Films work is unprecedented. I sometimes go back to her website and watch videos because her work is so darn beautiful, timeless and breathtaking. Her use of video and music captures each couples unique vibe. Gardenhouse Films price point is right on par for talent of her caliber! As someone who debated not having video, man oh man I am SO GLAD I DID. I go back regularly to Lily's Video and relive the day! She also keeps in touch. I find it so incredibly touching that Lily has reach out regularly to check up on myself and my husband. We are both healthcare workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. Lily has reached out to check up, send us information on how to stay healthy and even has sent us homemade masks!!! I mean WOW! I not only gained a vendor but a friend! Weddings are stressful! I repeat WEDDINGS ARE STRESSFUL! Events occur that are completely out of our control. I had things occur during my wedding that caused us to lose money. I changed my venue and lost substantial money but the terms were clear in the vendors contract! Instead of going on Yelp! And having myself and my entire family slander a persons name and livelihood, I accepted it as a life lesson. It saddens me that during this crazy time, instead of rolling with the punches and appreciating/supporting each other, there are people out there attempting to spread ill will for small businesses just trying to get by. The multiple poor reviews given to Lily are all referencing the same occurrence. It is clearly a misrepresented attempt from a disgruntled bride and her family grasping at straws to obtain control and bully a small business owner by manipulating social media. I can only imagine how difficult a time it is to be navigating the wedding business waters but Lily's policies are on line with what I have heard from many friends and colleagues who are in similar situations. So please. Check out her work! It speaks for itself on so many levels! I WILL be using Lily and Gardenhouse films for EVERY life event for the rest of my life!

From minor decisions I needed help with that weren't even related to photography, all the way to major decisions like song choices and floral arrangements! She was very flexible and graciously worked within my budget, allowing me to have the beautiful photos of my wedding and family that I had always dreamed of but hadn't been able to afford from any of the other photographers I found. She also did amazing engagement photos, for FREE, and included a lovely video of the wedding that I will cherish forever. Lily goes above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and desires. She even brought extremely special wedding gifts for my husband and I on our wedding day! My day and the memories of that day were made all the more perfect for me because of her involvement in it. Her photography is amazing, and she truly does it with a passion I admire. I can't recommend Gardenhouse Films enough!
