We chose Lilia Parker Photography based on a recommendation from our venue, Falkner Winery, and we're so glad we did! Lilia has over 20 years of experience shooting at Falkner Winery, and it really shows. She knew exactly where we needed to be and when--especially for sunset, which resulted in some of our favorite photos of the day. That level of familiarity with the venue made everything feel seamless and stress-free. On the wedding day, she was incredibly professional, efficient, and confident. When we weren't sure how to pose or what to do, she stepped in with clear direction and made the process easy. At the same time, she kept things moving so we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we're really happy with the final results. She captured the day in a way that felt natural and true to us. Communication leading up to the wedding was smooth, and overall she was reliable and easy to work with. If you're getting married at Falkner Winery (or want someone who knows how to run a tight ship), Lilia is a great choice. read more

LILIA IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!! I worked with Lilia a few times at one of her usual venues, YEARS ago. Once I saw her professional yet best friend vibes that she gave, I looker up her instagram and saw her STUNNING work and I knew from that moment, once it was my turn to get married, I wanted her to capture my big day!! Well fast forward about 4 years, it was my turn to get married and of course I was so excited to choose her! Her communication with me from the beginning & leading up to my wedding was fantastic! Any questions I had were answered, and she was very supportive during the planning process! I got married in San Diego, at a venue she hasn't worked at before but from the moment she came to see me on the day of, she already knew where everything was and where the best lighting/ background would be! My now husband and I aren't models by any means, but Lilia definitely made us feel like that! With her having done over 2000 weddings now, she KNOWS HER STUFF!! I had a high hope for my photos with her, and let me tell you... she went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND the hopes I had!!! I'll attach a couple sneak peak photos I've received, as my wedding was only 2 weeks ago, but after these sneak peaks.... I AM SOOOO EXCITED to receive the rest of the gallery! Lilia, thank you for everything you do. You're truly the best at what you do, and I can't wait to receive the whole gallery of our wedding day!!! -The Freemans read more

Lilia was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! We were so fortunate to have found her through our wedding planner, Celebrations by Hayley. Lilia came highly recommended and did not disappoint in ANY area. I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to her promptness, expertise, attention to detail and passion for her craft!! We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer to capture our most precious memories. I've read from past reviews (because I do my research) that Lilia was like having a friend by your side on the day of your wedding. I found this to be 100% accurate and true. Lilia exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond for us. Her attention to detail, the way she makes you feel by her calming presence while also making sure that as the bride you are enjoying every moment.

Lilia came recommended to us by our venue, Lake Oak Meadows, and truly exceeded our expectations! She was responsive and flexible when we had to reschedule our engagement photos multiple times as well as our wedding itself due to COVID. Once we met Lilia in person, we knew we had made the right choice. Lilia is so much fun to talk to and made the whole process of our engagement shoot so enjoyable and personal. At the wedding, all of my guests were extremely impressed with Lilia's professionalism and how she went above and beyond the call of duty of a photographer. Our venue was unfortunately extremely disorganized and Lilia stepped up to ensure that our night was as perfect as could be despite the issues the venue had created. She remembered every detail of things we had discussed prior to the big day and even picked up on details I never would have thought to photograph. I cannot recommend Lilia enough and will absolutely be using her for family photos in the future. read more

Lilia is simply the best! Her work is exquisite. Not only does she have a pleasant and professional demeanor, she knows how to direct the photo shoot in a manner that means you're going to get what you really want from your photos. She keeps everyone focused (non pun intended!) and on target, she's clear and concise, and she's truly proud to capture your event perfectly so that you can cherish your special day forever. Lilia shot our save the date, my boudoir photos, and our wedding. I was so impressed with the outcome of all three shoots! As a side note, our dog was in our save the date shoot and I'm still so impressed that she could make him smile for the camera. If you want the best, look no further. Just book Lilia! :) read more

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer to capture our beautiful memories! Lilia delivered to us the most beautiful, comprehensive, cohesive, thoughtful, and heartwarming album and each time I look at it again I am transported back in time to the happiest day of my life. She goes above and beyond on the day of, eases all your stress and worries, and works with you every step of the way on your vision and your specific desires for certain photos that you want throughout your day. She also did an amazing job with our engagement photos. I can't believe all that we received from Lilia for such an affordable price! It honestly felt like having a friend right by your side on the day of. She helped in sooo many ways throughout the day in different areas and went above and beyond what I would expect from a photographer. She's been doing this for a long time and could probably do it all blind with one hand by now! I am super beyond grateful to have all these stunning photos (over 900!), the care and thought put into our wedding album brought tears to my eyes. I am especially even more grateful for Lilia's dedication, professionalism, respect, and hard work on our wedding day after an unfortunate experience with a videographer who scammed us and never delivered our video to us. Yes, it really hurts not to have the video, but I keep being so thankful that we had the best photographer ever who clearly cared about us and our special day. Because of Lilia, I still feel like I can relive the day and all the emotions through looking at the album. I personally would look no further for a photographer, you would be in the best hands with Lilia and I am super grateful for everything she did for us. Thank you so much Lilia! read more

In 2022 this photographer was SUPER disrespectful when I asked if my friend could get ONE black and white photo with me. She then CANCELLED a couple months before my wedding. I had one last payment before she did. she essentially stole 1,000 from me and got the day off. I would never want to work with such a big ego on my wedding day. There are way better photographers. read more

Lilia is the most professional, amazing, loyal photographer we have ever worked with!!!

She made my wedding day so much smoother than it ever could have been knowing exactly what I wanted and doing just that, plus going above and beyond! From coordinating a group photo with lots of little ones to capturing the most beautiful, intimate moments, I cannot recommend and thank her enough! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Lilia for our son's wedding at Lake Oak Meadows. It is important to have a photographer who is familiar with the venue and your vendors.

Easiest five stars I've ever given! Lilia is so professional and creative. She knows how to make you feel beautiful on and off camera. Even my husband, who hates taking photos, thoroughly enjoyed this part of our wedding day. Her photos are a work of art and she has an eye for beauty. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable and not awkward in front of the camera. To top it all off, she has the kindest soul. I recommend Lilia for any and all of your photo needs!! read more

Lilia is an amazing photographer! One common tip I got from people when planning a wedding is not to go cheap with a photographer and do your research. I already knew I wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot as part of my package. So I knew i wanted a female photographer. I did my research and reached out to Lilia. From our first talk over the phone I already knew she was the one. My husband and I are not photogenic nor do we know how to pose. Lilia did all the work. She is great with dogs! I have a golden retriever who is very hyper and she was great with her and was able to capture great photos for our engagement photo shoot! Also, we had a huge wedding party and a very rowdy one too and she knew how to keep everyone in check. I had a vision and a timeline. My husband and I did not do a first look and my biggest request was to spend the least amount of time with photos so we can enjoy our wedding. Lilia made it happen. And, now my husband and I can relive our wedding day through these amazing photos. Til this day Lilia and I keep in touch. We became friends. She made us feel comfortable and confident with our photo shoots. And, we had fun taking photos. That was a huge plus because my husband dreads photos. My husband and I will continue to use Lilia for family photos. Highly recommend! read more
