"I was so lucky to be able to work with LiEna Photography for my wedding! They perfectly captured how happy we were and how much fun each and every one of our guests was having. My husband and I aren’t the best at posing but LiEna was ready with poses and ideas. We had about 100 people at our wedding and we were able to get a picture with everyone that was there, being able to share those pictures with friends and family will be special. I also recommend doing the videography as well, being able to watch back the vows and speeches will be beautiful. I highly recommend them with my whole heart, they captured our most important day and I will always be thankful!”.

Lili was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! As a fellow photographer you could say I’m picky lol but she did such an amazing job. She made everyone feel so comfortable and brought such a calm, fun energy to the day. Our photos are beautiful and we’ll treasure them forever. We absolutely plan to use her for many of life’s moments to come!

"Lili did such a great job at our wedding!! She understood our vision and our aesthetic. She is awesome to work with. My now husband is somewhat shy and she made him feel comfortable and that made the pictures come out great. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family”.

We thoroughly enjoyed and were beyond pleased with our family/maternity pictures by Lili! She was very sweet and engaging with our shy 2.5YO. She was quick with poses, keeping us moving, to get lots of different options in our session! Absolutely loved it and how the pictures turned out, we will be definitely considering another family shoot after our new addition arrives!

Lili truly exceeded my husband and my expectations!! She was so kind and made us feel very comfortable and put in a TON of work for the price. I don't know if she realizes how truly amazing she is, but we do!! Do NOT hesitate booking her.

We hired LiEna for our wedding. Since, we have received so many compliments about her and her team from our guests, before even seeing any photos! They were all great to work with, made the process a breeze, and genuinely cared! We got our pictures back waaayyy sooner than we expected and they are stunning!! Idk how she did it, but every single photo portrayed every emotion we felt and brought us back to that moment. We will forever be grateful for her for capturing the best day of lives! Would recommend her for any of your photos needs/wants!

Words just cannot encompass the gratitude I have for Lili. She is just one of the sweetest people I’ve ever meet. I was instantly drawn to her style of work so I set up a meeting. I could tell right away she was our photographer. She was phenomenal! She drove up before our wedding just to check out locations and chat about the day. I told her exactly what I wanted and man did she deliver! Besides her amazing skills as a photographer, she was SO sweet to my young daughter. She connected with her and was so so sweet with her which can be hard to do with an overstimulated toddler. She was like a friend hanging out the entire time, which made us more relaxed and comfortable with her. I am crying happy tears looking at our wedding photos. I really cannot say enough good things about her and her husband. We got sneak peeks back right away too. Please don’t sleep on her! I can’t wait to book again for family photos!

"We have had two photoshoots with Lili and she has done an absolute amazing job both times. We're from Ohio and specifically arranged family photos with Lili the past couple years we have went to the beach for vacation. She is so nice, polite and professional and has so much patients with us and our pups. This past year she had help from her husband and they created videos from our photo shoot which turned out absolutely stunning."

“Going into this photo shoot, my fiancé and I were extremely awkward in front of the camera but after a short time we were feeling natural and just wanting to be ourselves. She captured everything I could have imagined in the pictures and I’ll treasure them forever, I can’t wait to share them with everyone!”
