    Breathtaking photos by Lily and Chris

    Wild About You Photography was our first vendor we booked for our October wedding. Lily and Chris are true professionals and have the most magnificent artistic eye. They capture your memories and you will cry when reliving them through their beautiful work. Not only are their pictures incredible, but they are truly super and fun human beings to be with. They have a lot of experience and they know what works!

    Lily was communicative from the beginning and even went on an early location scout with us to check out a spot where we wanted pre-wedding photos. We also did engagement photos with them and it was so much fun! They had so many fun ideas. Lily was integral in the overall scheduling of the day also.

    On the day of, Lily and Chris showed up on time and thoroughly impressed us throughout the rest of the day. Pre-wedding portrait session was fun and magical and family portraits were done in record time. Lily learned everyone's names for family portraits (which was impressive) and was assertive when others tried to creep in for more photos (since we were on a schedule). She also had great methods to get us all to smile! Chris got the most beautiful first dance shot! We’re so in love. We did table to table photos and it was so much fun! They will tell you what to do and how to stand (and in the nicest way) so you look your best. We got a lot of great feedback from our guests about how impressive they were and how they made them feel relaxed during photos. At the end of the night, they found a lovely spot and used lighting magic to take dramatic and stunning evening portraits. Thank you, Lily and Chris! We’re so happy we you in our lives!

    Highly recommend Wild About You for your wedding!

    Lily & Chris did both our engagement shoot and our wedding. They were INCREDIBLE! I cannot possibly rate them high enough!

    My husband and I are pretty awkward, introvert nerds. We rarely take photos and when we do, trust me, we feel weird doing it. As a result, I wasn't expecting much from our engagement shoot, but we both ended up looking so cute and candid in them! It really captured the spirit of us when we can just be comfortable around each other, and that's huge. :) We used them for our Save the Dates and got lots of compliments!

    For the wedding itself, they also took extra care to make sure we got all the various shots we wanted and went the extra mile to make our family feel included and happy, even the younger children. It made taking photos really fun!

    And best of all-- they humored some of our nerdier requests, like wanting to take a photo with the dragon statue at the venue. :P That honestly sums up my favorite part of working with them: they're so sweet and will make you laugh and feel comfortable in just being yourself. And that makes for some pretty great photos!

    Lily and Chris are magical!

    There is not enough good words in the world for Lily and Chris. Working with them, start to finish, was a dream. I knew the second I saw their photography that I had to have them shoot my wedding and STILL I was in so much awe over the final results. Lily makes posing and smiling for so long fun somehow, and Chris is extremely talented at spotting the in-the-moment shots. They truly are artists and, if you want your wedding photos to be art, hire them! Thank you so much for making our perfect day last forever!

    Wild About You Photography far exceeded our expectations for both our engagement photo session and our wedding day. The photographers work wonderfully as a pair, and together share an artistic eye for unique and inventive shots. You’re getting more than just wedding photographers with Wild About You, Chris and Lily have a gift and are able to capture truly beautiful moments through their understanding of light. In both instances, they also extended our sessions beyond the quoted time at no additional cost. Both photographers were great at directing our larger photo sessions after the ceremony, but were equally good at blending into the background during our reception (while still covering the entire event). They also had no issues moving to multiple locations during each session. After combing through multiple wedding photography options, we couldn’t be happier that we went with a pair of artists that captured our day in such a unique way. We highly recommend them for your special day!

    Lily and Chris were absolutely phenomenal for our weekend wedding at a campground in the Poconos. They have something of a flair that sets them apart from standard “romantic” shots and it’s a unique style which I LOVE!

    During wedding planning, communication with them was fast and easy. They were even thoughtful enough to send us a card on Valentine’s day!

    At the wedding, Lily and Chris were timely, detail-oriented, friendly to our guests and also a breeze to work with. They set up creative group shots, dramatic & romantic couples shots, plus they even pulled us away near the end of the night to take an awesome romantic teepee silhouette photo that they discovered at the venue! They completely went above and beyond my expectations with the time and creativity they put into their photography!

    Also side note: I was impressed by how they captured the action on the dance floor while expertly dodging our less steady guests!

    In summary, most wedding photographers can capture the emotion and ceremony that you get with a wedding. But if you’re the kind of gal (or guy) who knows you want photos to highlight the sheer fun, genuine emotion, and unique character of your wedding, get Lily & Chris!

    I stumbled upon Wild About You while researching San Francisco-based wedding photographers and fell in love with their style and vision. When my husband and I decided to elope from NYC to San Francisco’s Japanese Tea Garden, we didn’t realize how stressful it would be to plan our big day from 3,000 miles away. Since it was just going to be the two of us flying out to California, quality pictures were extremely important to us and was our top priority. I communicated back and forth with Lily via e-mail before meeting, and every exchange was upbeat and informative. After I explained our unique situation, she came up with a reasonably-priced package that catered to our needs. She offered advice on locations to shoot and even came up with a timed schedule for the day, which put my frazzled mind at ease.

    As soon as we met, we all embraced each other like old friends. Lily knew beforehand that I had social anxiety and she calmed me down from the get-go, offering direction for the shots and making us laugh the day away. Although we were surrounded by a huge crowd, it somehow felt like we were the only ones in the garden. Chris was a true champ; he threw himself into bushes, was lying on the ground, and inevitably wound up with twigs all over his clothes to take some of the most amazing photos I've ever seen. The two of them are an amazing team — they went above and beyond to capture the perfect shot.

    My husband and I reflected on our day over a candle-lit dinner at Cliff House, and we both agreed that hiring them was the best decision we made regarding our elopement. Chris and Lily are extremely talented professionals; their attention to detail made our wedding day unforgettable. Wild About You is the way to go for all of your photography needs!

    Chris and Lily are AMAZING photographers. Our wedding pictures are the most magical pictures I've ever seen. They also did our engagement photos which were equally as magical. They are so open to any ideas and were enthusiastic about our little nerdy details. We felt so comfortable with them the day of wedding. I wish I could give them 10 stars. If you want amazing magical wedding photos, Wild About You is your vendor.

    I could write such a long essay about Chris and Lily's work (Wild About You Photography) but will just say they are the best. They are well-versed in all areas of professional photography including weddings, and their visual work is spectacular. They did an engagement photo session with us and coached us through the whole thing. At our wedding they took care of everything, were present everywhere, took amazing shots that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. And they are wonderful people with outstanding aesthetic tastes.

    Lily and Chris did a great job covering our wedding. We love all the shots, and they really captured all aspects of our Indian-Greek wedding. They worked with us to create a custom package that made sense for our events and needs - from the engagement shoot through to the reception. The photos are bright, colorful, lively and enhance our memories of our wedding. The fine art album is also high quality and a joy to look at. We highly recommend Wild About You!

    I can't say enough about how amazing Chris and Lily were. We eloped in Napa and it was just the two of us. Since my mom was going through chemo at the time, we knew that photos would be the only way she could experience our wedding day. I was very nervous about having photographers I'd never met before (I don't like pictures of myself, generally, and typically only like to have friends photograph me), but I loved their blog and saw a great review in Offbeat Bride. I am SO happy we found Wild About You! The captured our day perfectly without it seeming forced or staged. Everyone has commented that they felt like they were just there, looking along, as they have browsed our photo albums. They even recorded the song I sang to my new husband (not a service they generally offer) so that I could share that with my mom as well. What a precious memory.
    Thank you both so much for helping make our day beautiful and special!

    Dear Lily & Chris,

    You guys are THE best!!! I think you already know we think this but everyone else should know too. When we initially started looking for wedding photographers, we were completely disheartened by the lack of vision and traditional quality of the photographers we were finding...until we found you! Stumbling upon your website was one of the luckiest things that could have happened to us. When we had our 1st Skype meeting, we fell in love with your creative ideas and how awesome and reasonable you guys were. In the coming months, you were very communicative and helpful, which made the wedding planning process so much more enjoyable.
    And now on to the wedding photos: WOW. Just WOW. Every single photo is a work of awesomeness. Working with you on the day was so much fun. You kept us, our family and our bridal party relaxed and in a state of play, which you can absolutely see in the photos. You were also everywhere and nowhere. It was insane. You captured every magical moment that we could have hoped for. At one point Ashley was on the balcony of the barn, getting ready to throw the bouquet, and as she looked down she said "this would be such a good photo! I wish Chris or Lily were up here." And at that moment Chris literally appeared out of nowhere from behind the beam next to her and said "I'm right here." Amazing!! Our wedding guests are still talking about how fun and on top of it you guys were.
    And the Wild Booth!! Our guests had a blast with the props and some of our favorite photos are from the photo booth. Also, the animated gifs you created of us are AHMAZING. Yet another example of your out of the box style and super duper creativity. We could gush about you guys all day long but this is becoming an essay.
    Thank you so much for being one of the biggest parts of what made our wedding day so incredibly special.

    Matt & Ashley Boeka

    It was so amazing to have Wild About You part of our memorable wedding day!
    We absolutely love the pictures, but what we love most, is that we are able to relive each moment of our special day. They really did such a wonderful job. The pictures are warm, genuine and heartfelt. And of course, very artistic, which is different from traditional photos and what we were looking for.
    From the first time I contacted them to the very end, they exceeded our expectations a trillionth fold! Not only with the pictures but with your beautiful personalities.

    They were on time, even a little early, were so friendly and genuine. So professional, but light at the same time. went with the flow of things but stayed on track to meet my list of pictures and so many candid shots, that it really helps relive the day. I love them and recommend them to everyone!

    Hiring Chris and Lily was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. They were so much more than our photographers! They made us feel relaxed and comfortable from the engagement shoot to meeting at the venue for a walk through to the actual wedding! The photos they captured are just breathtaking. We just got the adorable personalized zip drive when we got back from our honeymoon, and it contained 1400 pictures - all AMAZING! The detail shots are excellent, and they really captured all of the emotions of the day. We didn't have a coordinator but Lily took charge and kept us organized for the family pictures and reminded us when we should move on to the next activity. They worked in tandem, sometimes lighting each others shots and sometimes shooting separately - the results are fantastic... They are the greatest! If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will make your day run smoothly and provide you with the most amazing memories of your wedding, look no further!

    Super friendly and attentive and experienced. They thought of everything, and in doing so, of course made things SO much easier for me (because as we neared the day of the wedding, my planning/decision-making fatigue was at an all-time high!). They are both friendly and NOT shy, and thanks to these qualities, they made our guests feel so comfortable--which made for great natural shots filled with laughter (and tears, happy ones!) I look at their photos all the time to remind me of the pure, unbridled happiness of that day! So many people have raved about our wedding photos. I would highly recommend Wild About You Photography for capturing your wedding, or any other milestone celebration!

    It is hard for me to put into words the amount of kindness, professionalism, and true art that was radiating from Chris and Lily from our initial correspondence all the way to the delivery of our images. We were ecstatic when they graciously agreed to fly to our town from across the country to document our wedding. The big day arrived and it was as if they were everywhere all at once! They worked with all elements of our environment to get amazing memorable shots. Their style is fun and punky, and we LOVED every photo! We were delighted to see the way they styled our quirky day without feeling like we were viewing the typical "wedding" photography. They are great to hang around and make you feel at ease behind the camera, giving you some little and needed direction for posing. They were always willing and ready to go above and beyond, to the point of us wanting them to "put down that camera and drink a beer!" They work as a pleasant, personable and very capable team and we were able to really enjoy our day knowing they were capturing all of the fun. Wild About You Photography has a true passion for what they do and it shows!! We are thrilled with their mind-blowing photos!!

    Many months later and our friends and family still comment on how amazing our photographs were! Lily and Chris were incredibly easy to work with, responsive, flexible and professional. They helped us to feel more comfortable by doing an engagement shoot ahead of time that was so much fun to do. The day of the wedding they did a great job of providing direction without putting themselves in the middle of the event. Would unquestionably recommend them to anyone wanting gorgeous, genuine, creative and rich photos.

    My wedding was a destination elopement and Wild About You Photography were the only photographers who I found that actually looked at what was required for our very small ceremony and gave us a reasonable quote. They were very responsive from my first contact, answering all of my questions and ensuring that I was comfortable with all arrangements. They went out of their way to make my camera-shy husband at east on the big day and the photos turned out to be simply amazing. I have received countless compliments on my photos! I personally consider them one of my greatest treasures. My wedding day was perfect and Wild About You Photography not only captured the day magnificently, their supportive and friendly presence was a welcome addition to our wedding! I would recommend them to anyone and regret that they are so far away and I can't use them again for any other photography needs I might have!
