    Love our wedding photos

    Abben and Lily were SO wonderful to work with. We were originally supposed to get married in August 2020, but had to cancel due to COVID. We went through several backup plans and Lily was so flexible and willing to work with us on all of them, even when we ultimately settled on a date only a month in advance. We had a great time shooting with Lily the day of too. Lily put us both at ease and managed to capture us just being ourselves. She had lots of great prompts and questions to get us talking and laughing and just generally having a good time. Even my husband, who does not love having photos taken and can't hold a straight face for more than a minute talked about how much he enjoyed taking our wedding photos :) The photos themselves turned out lovely - they are high quality, classic, and they capture our personality and relationship. Our parents (including my dad who used to shoot weddings and works with pro photographers regularly), kept saying how lovely they are and how glad they were to have the photos. Overall, I'd highly recommend Abben and Lily! Thank you again!

    The Best Photographers Ever!

    We had our wedding in June 2022 and hiring Abben and Lily as our photographers was one of the best decisions that we had made. We fell in love with the photos they posted on their website and since we had never taken professional photos before, we were unsure if they would be able to do the same for us. However, the photos they took went above and beyond what we expected. They were truly worth every penny and you could feel their experience/style in every photo. They were extremely pleasurable to work with and was one of our vendors that eased our anxiety throughout the whole process. We've framed so many of the photos they took and they look beautiful in our house. If you are looking for the best photography for your event, I highly recommend Abben & Lily.

    Booked only 4 months in advance with no regrets!

    We originally had a different wedding photographer booked since 2019 but they were not communicative like emails about when we would hear from them again would go unanswered. So, after a couple postponements due to the pandemic and it looked certain we would FINALLY have our wedding in 2022, we knew we wanted a change. We found Abben and Lily from SAW (IYKYK) just by luck in Feb of 2022. Yes, only 4 months before the wedding! Immediately, it was a stark different. Abben was our point person and was very responsive. As this was an unforeseen and un-budgeted item, we only booked the one photographer package and Abben was our photographer. The day of the wedding, he was great and the photos came out gorgeous. We are so glad and relieved to have switched. It was a hectic day but we were so happy to go through the pictures and surprised at the moments he was able to capture. Truly ecstatic to have this day captured perfectly after 4 years of planning.

    10/10 - Captured our wedding perfectly!

    Abben and Lily were phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Our August 2020 wedding underwent major changes due to Covid, and we sincerely appreciated Lily's flexibility. She even let us pick her brain about some of the changes, and her suggestions were spot on. Most importantly, we absolutely love the photos. We said we were hoping for casual candid shots, and Lily delivered. Abben and Lily are organized, friendly, professional, and great at what they do.

    Beautiful, classic photos that capture every special moment

    Abben and Lily photographed our wedding and we are overjoyed with the results!! On the day of the wedding, they were so professional and made sure to get all of the shots we included in our shot list. They are great at staging photos and putting everything in the best light possible. The photos we got back exceeded our expectations! They captured the emotion of the day with the perfect amount of candid and posed photos. They even got photos of special moments that we did not even consider or realized they captured! They made use of every minute they were with us to capture beautiful photos and we cannnot recommend them enough to capture your special moments.

    We chose Abben and Lilly Photography because we trusted them from our first meeting and we are so happy with our choice. We recently had our engagement photos done and are overjoyed with the results! Lily was great at calming our nerves and was full of creative ideas that made the shoot so much fun! She was so accommodating and wanted to make sure we got every shot we had in mind. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful :) We would highly recommend them and cannot wait to have them photograph our wedding.

    Simply the best!

    Our experience with Abben & Lily far exceeded our expectations! While we had never taken professional photos before, Lily guided us through the day, and made us feel very comfortable. Their photography style captured us exactly as we are, which enabled us to recognize the love and joy in each photo. We are so grateful and could not be happier with our decision to hire Abben & Lily!

    Great experience, start to finish!

    Abben and Lily were great to work with. I contacted them after finding their photos on Instagram and falling in love with the timeless look and bold colors (they really stood out from some of the current wedding photography trends). After meeting with the two of them for coffee, my now husband and I decided we were all set - we made our decision without consulting any other photogs and couldn't be happier! Lily did a great job with our engagement shoot and communicating with both of them throughout the wedding planning process was easy and incredibly helpful.

    We initially planned to have both of them shoot our wedding, but due to a last-minute emergency we ended up only having Abben with us for the day - but he did a GREAT job covering the wedding, doing the job of two photogs, and delivering everything we were hoping for. He did a great job capturing the vibe we wanted and getting all of the shots we requested.

    We love our photos and really enjoyed working with Abben & Lily and cannot recommend them enough.

    Suberb photographer duo!

    Abben and Lily have been such a blessing to us! We found out about them through a friend for our engagement shoot. We loved our engagement photos so much (and our families could NOT get over them!) that our choice was clear for our wedding photographers. Flash forward to 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic changed every plan we had for our wedding. Abben and Lily were so accommodating and flexible with our constantly evolving plans. We ended up having a tiny intimate wedding with just our immediate families in our chapel, and a quick backyard lunch to celebrate. Abben and Lily blended in and let the day unfold organically – our wedding day was carefree and perfect. They made our bridal photos fun, with just the right amount of direction and allowing us to be our goofy selves (even helping us to film a TikTok)! We absolutely love how they’ve captured our day exactly as it was – full of light and joy – through beautiful photos that we will treasure forever.

    Wedding Photography

    Abben & Lily did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. They were easy to work with, and met with us several times before the big day to clarify all the details. They took wonderful shots on the wedding day and were flexible about going to different locations and working on a shot list with us to make sure everything came out perfectly. They were very reasonably priced, did an incredible job, and were just plain fun to be with on our day- we highly recommend them!

    Stunning photos

    Abben and Lily are wonderful! We had them take our engagement & wedding photos and they made the wedding day run so smoothly! They are excellent photographers and are also so easy to feel comfortable around, which makes for great candid photos

    Highly recommend Abben & Lily!!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Abben and Lily Photography. From our first meeting to our engagement photos to our wedding, they made the entire experience painless and enjoyable. They were quick to respond and even give us advice on different details. Lily sat down with us the weekend before our wedding and helped us confirm our day of timeline and even helped us make it! Our day of was stress free knowing that Abben and Lily were there to help out with whatever was needed. If you're considering a photographer for any even, please contact Abben and Lily, they were just ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

    Lily took our proposal and engagement photos and we CANNOT say enough good things about our experience with her!

    When thinking about photography, I never quite realized how integral the photographer is to the entire experience (they’re the other person there with you all during these big life events).
    Abben & Lily Photography are committed to not just getting you great photos, but giving you an amazing and memorable experience – this is what really sets them apart.

    Having seen many proposals in action, Lily was so helpful to the proposal running smoothly. A worry of mine with proposal photography is that the moment might seem less personal because of it. There are none of these worries with Lily - she is EXTREMELY discrete and maintained all of the surprise elements perfectly. She was focused on our experience and that made the entire proposal feel really special. And of course, the pictures turned out incredible. Lily has such a great eye for detail, is crazy skilled in getting the right angles that worked for us, and is innovative and creative with her photography (all things we wanted in a photographer). We received the photos from the proposal less than a week after. They were also kind to give us a few early photos to send to friends and family!

    The next day (fast turn-around that Lily rolled with) we took photos at the Field Museum, Navy Pier, and the Crystal Gardens. Lily knew all the right poses to place us in (no awkward or random arms - this is quite a miracle if you know us). Once again, she cared about giving us a great experience and worked with us to let our personalities shine through in each photo. She had all of these little tricks up her sleeve to help put us at ease and get the right moment/candid shots. Coming from someone who doesn’t love taking photos, I must say that Lily’s sense of humor and easy-going personality made the entire photoshoot SO much fun.

    Would give the highest recommendation to Abben & Lily Photography!

    Perfect for our intimate wedding

    After reaching out to many local photographers for our small, intimate wedding ceremony, Abben and Lily Photography listened to what we were looking for and made a unique package for our request that suited our needs perfectly. Lily was our photographer for the ceremony and was phenomenal every step of the way! She understood and fit perfectly into our casual 11 person ceremony (as the only non-family member there), and gave us plenty of guidance while allowing for flexibility. The pictures came out amazing and we couldn't be happier with her work and communication throughout the process!

    Abben & Lily Photography helped us document our big day beautifully. It was so easy to work with the team, and they were very responsive leading up to the wedding. We had received some sneak peeks and absolutely love them! We felt so comfortable with the team and cannot wait to see all of the pictures

    Personal and Professional Photographers

    Abben and Lily are fantastic! Meeting with them a few times prior to the wedding really eased our nerves. They were our timekeepers on the day of the wedding and even kept track of the weather for us. They were flexible, affirming, and creative, and they took some fabulous pictures! We are super happy we chose them to take our wedding photos and would recommend them to any couple looking for quality photos with a personal touch!

    Abben & Lily did wedding pictures for my husband and I back in June. We could not have picked more perfect photographers!! We chose them not only because Lily and I were friends in high school, but also because their portfolio was full of stunning photos that truly captured what we were envisioning for our own photos. Once we booked them, we then found out how easy it was to plan the wedding day with them. Since we live on opposite sides of the state, my husband and I were worried that we would need to plan several trips to meet with Abben & Lily in person to get everything done. However, we were able to do all of our planning over video chat, and it was an absolute breeze and quite a load off our shoulders.
    The day of the wedding, Abben & Lily were both very easy going and kept our day stress-free. We could barely tell when they were taking pictures - they did a great job of blending into the background so they did not interrupt our day and we could focus on being in the moment. For the staged photos they were excellent at giving direction and keeping people moving in and out of position between shots. They also adapted easily and made the most out of candid situations - and got some great shots out of it too!
    Most of all - we could not be happier with how our photos turned out. They were absolutely beautiful and captured our wedding day perfectly. There is not a single photo that I don't like, and they took hundreds!! They even found a way to edit my face in the photos after I cried during the ceremony and ran mascara down my cheeks.
    There are not enough great things I can say about Abben & Lily. They did an absolutely amazing job, and I am SO happy my husband and I hired them for our wedding. If you are at all considering booking them, do it!!

    Abben and Lily are not only incredibly talented photographers, but they are all around kind, fun, warm souls who were extremely flexible when the weather rained (pun intended) on our engagement photoshoot plans three times. They were very accommodating each time we got rained out with picking out a new date. They went the extra mile in the planning stage, from scouting out a potential photoshoot site ahead of time, to suggesting times when our photo shoot location (the Arb) would be less crowded, to helping brainstorm ideas to make the photoshoot unique to us.

    My fiance and I are not big PDA people and were feeling a bit awkward and nervous about doing a photoshoot in a public space, but from the start, Abben and Lily made us feel comfortable. Day of, they helped directed us in natural-looking poses and providing fun suggestions that had us laughing, which made for some wonderful pictures and good memories behind those photos.

    Abben and Lily both have a fabulous artistic eye for photo composition, and they truly listen and integrate your goals for the photoshoot. They make the photoshoot unique to you. After the shoot, their downloading interface is extremely easy to use, and they are prompt in their photo delivery (ours were delivered in little over two weeks). In terms, of price, they are a true steal for the high quality work they do!

    We are so happy and feel very blessed to have had Abben and Lily document these memories for us, and would have hired them to do our wedding too if it were taking place in Michigan. These two are gifted artists, and we heartily recommend them to everyone!

    I am so thankful for Abben and Lily Photography! When my husband and I got engaged, we started planning immediately! We only had 4 months before the big day, and we were on a tight budget. I was so surprised they weren't already booked the day of our wedding. Because I know this is not much time, photos were one of the first things to be prioritized., especially since it’s the only thing you have to remember it all.

    We set a time for the engagement photos, and because I loved the way the Lawyers court on University of Michigan Ann Arbors campus looked, we went there. It ended up being under construction, I was so thankful to have Lily and Abben there, because without them we would have had no idea where to go. But having gone to school there, they were familiar with other beautiful parts of campus. The turn around for getting the pictures back was so quick that we were able to make a wedding guestbook using them.

    Their feedback with how much time to take taking pictures with at the church, with family, with the bridal party, and then just the two of us really helped everything run smoothly! The day of the wedding, they got all the shots we asked for and others I wouldn’t have thought of! They worked with us so much, and I really could not recommend them high enough!

    Such a wonderful experience working with Abben and Lily. I am still swooning over my wedding photos. They are very organized and knew exactly what they needed to be doing. They keep in great contact with you leading up to the date AND afterwards as well. (Sent me such a nice, handwritten thank you note after the wedding!) Easy going and comfortable! Highly recommend.

    I love Abben & Lily! I've gotten to see their work twice - they were the photographers for a wedding that I was the maid of honor in, and were a blast to work with - super fun, and my best friend's photos turned out STUNNING! They also did a winter session with my husband and I for our Christmas cards and we loved all the photos we got from them!

    Beautiful photos, exceptional and professional service

    Abben and Lily are truly fantastic. From the moment our consultation began I was so impressed. Not only are they willing to work with you to deliver the photos on your list, they make you feel comfortable and relaxed from start to finish. The quality of photos they delivered were outstanding. Each one of our almost 700 photos from the 8 hour package were beautiful. Two talented individuals who will not disappoint!
