Finding a wedding photographer in Seattle was a bit daunting. I came across Lily's website after a…read moregoogle search for Seattle photographers. I had looked at several photography websites, and the photographs on her website caught my attention due to the lighting, color, and creativity. When my fiancé and I met with her, she showed us additional photographs which further demonstrated those initial impressions and an eye for beautiful angles an moments. I also really liked her personality. She was professional and so kind. Her packages were also affordable. Shortly after we signed the contract, Lily found out that she was pregnant and due about a month after our wedding. Therefore, photographing for 8 hours would be unlikely for her on our special day. She gave us information about her back up photographers (who have photographed with her professionally) and because she found out soon after we signed the contract, she offered to let us cancel the contract which my fiancé and I appreciated. We didn't take her up on this, however. After Lily promptly answered numerous emails with questions about her back ups, we decided to stay with Lily. We are so glad we did. Lily photographed our engagement session at Golden Gardens in Ballard, and we received hundreds of beautiful photographs from our time with her. The colors were gorgeous and she captured our personalities and relationship dynamic so well. While Lily did not photograph our wedding, she was with me on that day. She took my "getting ready" photos at the salon and at my hotel. I got married on the day of the Solstice Parade, and I got stuck in the parade traffic after the salon. Lily beat me back to the hotel and waited for thirty plus minutes for me. While stuck in traffic, I realized that the Solstice parade was ending at our desired place for pre wedding photographs, Gasworks Park. Therefore, we had to change our location at the last minute, and I was running late. Needless to say, I was frantic. I called Lily, and she was calm and helpful, and said it would be no problem to contact the other photographers. Lily was waiting for me at the hotel when I arrived, frantic and feeling rushed to get ready. She was so calm and organized that it calmed me down. She helped us figure out another location for photographs, on the UW campus. After the initial photographs, she came to the venue for the family photographs to make sure all was going well. I appreciated how invested she was considering she was not even supposed to be there on that day. I recently received all the photographs, and my fiancé and I are so happy. They are absolutely gorgeous, and there are plenty to choose from. The UW proved to be a wonderful location for the pre wedding photographs. The beautiful brick buildings and trees added so much to the photos. All of the photos show creativity in poses and angles. The photographers captured many perfect candid moments as well. This came as no surprise considering what we had already seen from Lily K Photography.

From my message detailing my concerns to Tilly, which she has chosen not to address…read more (Main concerns: poor communication, website overpromises on actual services, hidden charges, and Tilly's general unwillingness to propose any reasonable solution.) I arranged a maternity photoshoot for my brother and his wife in November. I had an opportunity to catch up with him over the holidays and appreciate the photos but am disappointed in how this experience unfolded for them. Pre-Shoot Assessment Issues: A significant mismatch between the pre-shoot assessment's outcomes and the actual session led to a waste of time and reduced session duration. It appears the assessment wasn't effectively applied in preparation. The expected support from this assessment influenced the decision to choose your services, and its underutilization is disappointing. Wardrobe Description Mismatch and Session Impact: The wardrobe is described by your website as a "complete wardrobe of soft textures and colors to perfectly complement your figure and bring out that beautiful baby bump." However, it sounds like the wardrobe options were all more revealing than expected, this turned into a prolonged discussion during the session, then a need to relocate the entire session. This consumed valuable session time and devalued the 'complimentary wardrobe and styling' promise that was a deciding factor in choosing your services. Unexpected Tax Charge on Gift Package: The additional tax charge at the session's end was unexpected, feels like poor customer service, and a grey area for business practices. As the session was intended to be a complete gift, any ancillary costs should have been communicated to me and settled beforehand to ensure a frictionless experience. Additionally, the quality of communication and timeline for this time-sensitive maternity shoot was a concern. Oct. 24 - online Book Now inquiry form submitted Oct. 25 - text message sent asking to be invoiced for the package, Tilly responds with email address Oct. 25 - email sent, asking to be invoiced for the $580 package and requesting "any resources to help them prepare for the photo shoot." - support request never acknowledged Oct. 27 - no response from either email request was received, a follow-up email sent from an alternate email account Oct. 28 - Tilly responds to ask what the gift card should say. I responded to advise and ask "please also provide booking info and anything that would set them up for success in the photoshoot (shoot list, best practices, etc)" - support request never acknowledged and booking link not provided Oct. 31 - invoice sent and paid; email sent to TIlly advising invoice is paid and ask "Do you mind please sharing your availability and wardrobe info" - support request never acknowledged Nov. 1 - Tilly responds, directing my family to the homepage of her website, which does not address the multiple support requests or help facilitate the booking. The images on this page further explain why neither my family nor myself expected the huge disconnect between photoshoot themes when they finally arrived for the scheduled shoot on November 11. *** I am happy to forward the full correspondence to anybody interested in hearing Tilly's feedback.***

We started with our engagement photos and it was so much fun! We aren't from the Seattle area so we didn't really have a place in mind and Alessandra chose the best location and the perfect time... our engagement photos are gorgeous beyond belief! She made us feel so comfortable so fast! Our wedding day comes and Alessandra photographed it PERFECTLY! Every single picture has meaning and is beautiful. Our day was very sentimental and fun which is hard to capture and she did both sooooooo good! I will attach some of our favorites which is honestly so hard to choose! I thank Alessandra for making this the easiest process ever! I forgot to mention the cute packets that we got before during and after the process in the mail! Those had to be my favorite packages to receive! Thank you so much for making our special day amazing!

From the day 1 of our phone consultation, Jen had heard me and my vision of photoshoot. She pulled out every single piece together to create the story in the frame. Not only was our extensive discussion helpful, but also we were able to build a relationship as artist and model, friends, and family. Jen welcomed me and my dad with her heart and made us feel home at Vashon Island. Of course the photoshoot was incredibly fun and I can't wait for another photoshoot with Jen. Not to mention, her assistant Sarah is proactive in communication and so involved throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for such unforgettable memories and experience!

Stephanie was a great photographer for our big day. When she found out we didn't have a wedding…read moreplanner during our initial consult meeting, she also gave us some great tips/hints, which led us to feeling a little less overwhelmed with it all. During that first meeting, Stephanie made sure to walk through the general look and feel of what she'd be doing during our wedding. We went over a pretty comprehensive list of family/group shots that we wanted, and she assured us that the day was going to be special. When she showed up for the day of the wedding, she was prepared and professional and definitely knew how to handle two anxious grooms who were running around making sure everything was good for the festivities. My partner and I just let Stephanie take the reins for how our photos were done, and I'm sure she would have preferred a *little* guidance, we're so glad we did, because her ideas were better than anything we could have come up with. Also, having that list of group shots was so important, because it made taking pictures with all of our family and friends fly by. As for the ceremony and reception, Stephanie was adept at blending in/not being noticed while capturing all the memories we could hope for. The pictures have been fantastic, and I don't know if there's a better person who can take two awkward guys, put them in what seem like awkward poses, and make beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Stephanie!

I knew I had to go with her but can admit I had a lot of questions and needed what I imagine was more guidance than some clients throughout - but Kiersten was a DREAM to work with every step of the way! She was incredibly responsive and communicative. She responds quickly to emails, is genuinely open to questions/ideas/uncertainties, and really wants to understand what her clients are looking for to make sure everyone loves the final products. She listens, asks good questions (has a great and comprehensive form you fill out before the shoot!), encourages you to share what you're feeling or worried about or thinking and then works with you every step of the way. We even had to reschedule once due to weather and I was going to reach out to her but she emailed me first to check in and then easily helped me reschedule without any issues all in a very timely manner. She's also really put me at ease and is so affirming, patient, understanding and a joy to be around. I thought I'd feel self-conscious during the shoot but it was so fun and lighthearted and she brought such great energy and ideas that I knew I was in good hands. Finally, she truly goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure the experience/process are as enjoyable as the products/outcome. I know I was so particular in what I was looking for to the extent that small and subtle differences resonated a lot for me and she worked with me in a really personalized way. She just really wants you to love the photos no matter it takes and goes above and beyond in terms of listening, coming prepared, and and taking the time to cull, choose, edit your photos. I CANNOT RECOMMEND her enough as a photographer and wonderful human being!! Thank you, Kiersten!

She was great with our toddler during both sessions (maternity photos were taken outside and a local barn property and newborn photos were taken at our home).

We are in love with all of the photos she took for us and are amazed by the shots she was able to capture. We know they're photos we will cherish forever.
