Grateful to have booked Lily as our wedding photographer!! We came across her Instagram page and instantly fell in love with the quality of her work. We were thrilled to know she was available for our wedding date since we had been browsing other photographers but none compared to her work. We had the pleasure of having Lily take our engagement pictures, which was a great way for my fiancé and I to get comfortable in front of the camera. Despite this being our first time taking professional pictures, Lily's experience and bubbly personality made us feel comfortable and confident! When we received our engagement pictures we were stunned on how great we looked! We were in LOVE with them! Leaving us with that much more excitement for our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Lily once again impressed us. She gave us the perfect amount of direction to stay on schedule but also enough liberty to take pictures with our loved ones throughout the night. Lily was also incredible with capturing my husband and I in every angle without us even noticing she was there. We received a sneak peek of our wedding pictures within 5 days of our wedding day and once again WE LOVED THEM!! . They're everything we wanted. The quality and clarity of the images and the emotions captured took us back to the day of. We can't wait to receive the rest. Lily, thank you so much for being part of our journey and for capturing life long memories that we can look back at. We look forward to working with you again in the near future! read more

I found Lily through Yelp and WOW.. I am SO thankful I found her! She did our engagement shoot and was so friendly via text and in person. She is communicative, on time, and a super talented photographer. She made the both of us, plus my son feel so relaxed and she knew exactly what she wanted us to do. I feel like that's important for the photographer to guide, since most of us are not used to being in front of a lens. She really captured all the love we have and made us feel so beautiful. Thank you Lily!! read more

¡Que mujer! From the first meeting with Lily we knew she was the one we wanted to capture our story. Her fun, light hearted personality really made us feel comfortable . We started with our engagement photos and we were fascinated with the outcome. As newbies with photo shoots, Lily really knew how to put us at ease. She also helped bring out that natural smile when being in the moment and knowing how to direct you to get the most gorgeous shots you could imagine. Lily is also bilingual and it really helped during our wedding when directing some of our family members. We love our sneak peek wedding photos and can't wait to see the final outcome. She is also creating our photo album and can't wait since all her work has been amazing! We love you Lily! read more

Lily is a godsend. She is visibly passionate about her work and capturing unforgettable moments for her clients.

We appreciated her genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple and our family dynamics, which gave us reassurance and comfort throughout the entire experience. We loved working with Lily and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding or event photographer. read more

Lily makes you feel beautiful and her smile and laugh are absolutely contagious. She was sweet and accommodating throughout our entire process from engagement photos to the day of the wedding. Lily is a down to earth, real person who is willing to help in any way she can to make sure that your photos turn out. The only real downside -- I did go with a second photographer, but I felt that her photos and methods did not compare to Lily's which left me without some key shots that I wish I had known to ask for (but had assumed she would have snapped). read more

My husband and I loved every picture she captured. She made us feel so comfortable, took her time and made sure we were happy with the experience. I 100% will hire her again for my future photo sessions. :) read more

My fiancé and I had the privilege of winning a giveaway with Lily, and we couldn't be more thankful. Lily is so good at what she does and I am not surprised that everyone in these reviews says the same thing. And not only that, she is also such a kind person with a big heart! I found Lily on Instagram, and immediately fell in love with her portfolio. Therefore when I saw she was doing a giveaway, I didn't think twice in joining. The pictures she took of my fiancé and I were perfection!!! My fiancé and I are so in love with every picture she took of us. We had such an amazing engagement session with her! Throughout our engagement session she made everything feel so comfortable and fun. I am personally a very shy person, but Lily's kindness and personality made me feel that I could be me around her and not once did I feel shy to take a picture around her. I believe this shows what an amazing person and photographer Lily is. She truly goes above and beyond and is so passionate at what she does! read more

Room for improvement: -none! she was great! read more

Lily was recommended to me by one of my close friends, and I'm so glad I decided to book her for my maternity shoot! Booking with her was so straightforward, easy, and smooth. She prepares a proposal/contract according to what package is chosen off of her website, which i thought was so cool. She came off as super organized and professional. I told her exactly what I wanted and how I felt about this special moment , she responded promptly and already seemed so sweet and down to earth. This was via email! Even though i already had an idea of what i wanted for my shoot, i still felt nervous because I've never taken profesional photos so i didn't know what to expect. However once we got to the location, Lily made me feel so comfortable, her personality calmed me down and gave me confidence. I was able to enjoy the shoot. My husband and son also loved her, nonetheless. We can't wait for our daughters arrival so future special moments can be captured by Ms. Lily. read more

Lily is the absolute best! This was my first branding session and I was beyond nervous. She walked me through the entire process, gave me pointers, and when we met, she made me feel so comfortable.

My husband and I hired Lily for a photoshoot in June celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary. I first found Lily on Instagram and was immediately enamored by her work. She has the "lens" and "artistry" that I look for in a photographer. We were so confident that she would be the perfect person to capture our first major milestone as husband and wife. Needless to say, Lily completely exceeded all of our expectations. We were first impressed with her immediate professionalism and strong communication skills. She was extremely helpful over our phone meeting regarding our photo session. I was so happy to hear that she wanted to get to know us as a couple before capturing us on camera. Lily was interested in knowing our love story, which made us more confident in her work. During our meeting she also offered help with outfits because Lily believes in the importance of fashion in a photo shoot! I absolutely loved this about her! She also helped us pick two absolutely stunning locations in the city of Palos Verdes, CA. We were so happy that she knew of a special place that would place us on the cliffs of Palos Verdes, CA for our second location. A few weeks passed and it was finally the day of our photo shoot! As soon as we met up, we felt an immediate connection with Lily. Her personality, charisma and quirkiness made us feel like we had known her for years! We had the time of our life and shared so many laughs! (we were genuinely laughing is most of our photos!) Lily has such an amazing attention to detail that we have never experienced before from a photographer. Lily has amazing creative ideas for different shots. She really is all about capturing that special moment. Receiving our final edited photos was definitely an emotional experience. My husband and I really bonded at the absolute beauty of the photoshoot. So many of her photos literally took our breath away. Once the photoshoot was over and we returned back into our car, my husband and I looked at each other and we immediately knew that we had found OUR lifelong photographer. I want to emphasize that we had this thought before ever receiving our final photos. Needless to say that we HIGHLY recommend Lily to capture your special day/moment. I promise it will be an easy decision that you will not regret. It is a dream of ours to renew our vows in New Orleans, LA someday. You better believe that Lily will be coming with us. Thank you again Lily! read more

Decided to book a family session with Lily and it was such a pleasure working with her! She provided so much tips and details prior to the session. During the session, she made it feel fun! The overall experience was just great and such a breeze! I would definitely love to work with her again. Oh, and the pictures came out so beautiful. read more

I met Lily when we both attended a photography workshop that was hosted by another veteran photographer. Lily's hyped and bubbly personality immediately made us close. I saw how Lily work during the workshop; dedicated and focused. I believe those are the two top qualities you want to look for as a photographer. As an amateur photographer myself, I look up to her for guidance since she was very knowledgeable in the Photo Industry. I saw her how she worked with our model couples and was impressed by it. After the workshop we ended up keeping in touch. Fast forward to almost 9months later, me and my Fiance needed a last minute engagement photoshoot. Lily was the first person who came up to my mind. I already know how she works, and her style was also the style me and my fiance are both looking for. I immediately contacted her and she responded in a timely manner, she made sure what me and Fiance wanted and she gave us options where to shoot our engagement photos. We ended up taking her suggestion to have our photoshoot in LA Art District. The day of the shoot came and all I can say was that it was terrific! Me and my Fiance felt really comfortable with her. She was approachable, funny, energetic, and thinks outside of the box. I also like that her style is more geared towards "natural lighting" versus crazy mad edited photos we see on social media nowadays. My favorite part of the photoshoot (aside from her being talented and creative) was she took time and sat with us to get to know us better. I believe that is an important factor when working with your clients, get to know them! I highly recommend Lily to be your Photographer whether be it an engagement photoshoot, wedding, family photos, portrait etc. She is amazing and delivers high quality photos! You won't regret! read more

Lily Tapia is an absolute treasure. From the start, Lily was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to do anything and everything to make sure my husband and I had a great experience. Her personality lends itself to build immediate trust and comfort, which definitely comes through in the pictures. By the end of our wedding planning and the day itself, my husband and I were able to laugh and be silly around her like you would with an old friend or close family member. She has a very stylistic eye to provide stunning photos, but also can pick up on your quirks and tender moments to provide heartwarming candids. Even our families complimented her skill in directing photos with respect and a lot of fun, in both English and Spanish! Look through her site and social media - her work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Lily Tapia Photography - you will be happy you chose her! read more

I LOVE Lily and her work! She is just amazing! Looking for a photographer and deciding on one can always be a little nerve wrecking or even scary. But I am so glad we chose Lily to do both our engagement session back in May of 2016 and our wedding photographer in June of 2017. She definitely makes sure you feel relaxed in front of the camera. She has an attitude of "let's have a ton of fun" while we do this, but also keeps everyone professional. And I love that about her. She doesn't make you feel akward or embarrassed in front of the camera she definitely makes sure everyone is comfortable and is having a good time. Her positive attitude is contagious! Thank you Lily for the awesome pictures. read more

I can't say enough about how amazing and personable Lily is, she did our newborn session with our two week old and was patient and kind. She was able to catch our little family in a way that was absolutely beautiful. She has a great eye for what is flattering yet catching candid moments. I would recommend her over and over again. She is very professional and easy to contact and coordinate with, which for planning newborn photos when our baby came several weeks early ended up making everything possible. read more

If you are looking for an amazing photographer who is out going, funny and will make you feel 100% comfortable while taking pictures Lily is the one for you! We found Lily through a family member and are so glad we did. From our first facetime call to the day we took our engagement pictures it was nothing but a pleasant experience. After our first call I automatically knew I wanted to book her. Her personality and presence made me love her instantly! She was very willing to answer any questions we had and helped us narrow down outfits that fit perfectly together for our engagement pictures. It was my fiancé and I's first time taking professional photos and Lily made it so easy and comfortable for us. Our whole shoot was full of laughs, Disney music and a good time! Although we had to postpone our wedding, Lily was very flexible and able to accommodate us. Our engagement pictures came out amazing, it was hard to pick our favorites. We can't wait to see the magic after she shoots our wedding! read more

This review is long overdue but totally necessary! I booked Lily as soon as I was engaged to my now husband. I reached out to her because I loved her beautiful style, her fun personality, and she was a local in my neighborhood. On the initial meeting, I knew she was the one! She was super down to earth, friendly, and extremely helpful. She was completely professional in her communication and always kept us up to date during the process. I absolutely loved that about her because wedding planning is stressful enough! Ok--Now let me start off by saying that she did an absolutely stunning job on our engagement pictures!! She brought my vision to life--romance and adventure. Now, what's more adventurous than driving to the sand dunes in the middle of a heat wave (I swear it was over 100 degrees!)? We spent the entire day there capturing all the shots and poses that I wanted. Ok--and now come the pictures. THEY WERE GORGEOUS. She captured the most amazing pictures I could ever imagine. My husband and I could not stop raving about them and I'm sure all my friends on social media were completely sick of me (HA but that's ok). I've received so many compliments on them from friends, family, and even strangers! Next came our wedding pictures. Lily once again captured all my favorite moments--from preparation pictures, to family portraits, to romantics, and the reception. ALL WERE PHENOMENAL. We made the best decision picking Lily as our wedding photographer. I can't wait to continue to book her for future events (perhaps future newborn shoots??). Anyways, book Lily with confidence. She will bring your vision to life and you won't regret it. read more

So many wonderful things to say about Lily! I first hired her for my maternity photo shoot in 2016 and then a year later for my daughters first birthday/cake smash pictures. My maternity shoot was amazing, Lily made sure the entire experience was one to remember. Her energy and enthusiasm is so contagious. I loved every minute of it, even the hike back up to the street was memorable, she held my hand all the way up and made sure I didn't fall, she even asked if I needed water. She was so attentive and made the entire experience unforgettable. Now, the pictures...I mean,I felt beautiful and whatever the day of the shoot but when I saw the pictures, I was blown away. Like why am I not a model?? Just kidding, but seriously, they where amazing. My daughters pictures where nothing less than expected. Again, she was amazing and made sure my baby girl got all the attention she deserved. Lily was super patient with her despite all the crying and whining. The pictures where great and I cannot wait to have her take our next family pictures. Thank you Lily, not just for such great pictures but for connecting with your customers and making sure we enjoy the session. read more

We had the pleasure of having Lily document our engagement and wedding and she won us over in every way! Since then she's been there for our maternity pictures, our precious baby, and we hope to have her take pictures for us again soon.

She also has a quick turnaround time, and we get so excited every time our pictures are ready to see the magic, beauty, and intimacy she has the uncanny ability to capture! read more
