We had so much fun taking photos with Lilia! She‘s an amazing, experienced photographer with a talent to pick the perfect angle.
She was incredibly helpful also in the months leading up to the wedding, making sure we had all the information we needed.
We felt super comfortable during the shoot, she gave us excellent directions on how to look good in the photos, but incorporated all of our requests and ideas as well.
She not only took great typical wedding photos but also lots of sweet candid pictures of us.
All in all we‘re super happy about the whole experience.

Wow. Lilia was just amazing to work with from start to end. The photos we received were beyond all expectations and a dream come true! I knew I wanted to hire her as her photos were exactly to my taste and she has so many years of experience photographing SF City Hall.
Lilia is really great with setting up a phone appointment to chat and get to know you initially. She maintained great communication throughout my planning process and helped me plan a timeline. The day of, I felt like I knew her so well and we both felt completely relaxed with her. All the photos we took felt very natural and not

We absolutely love Lilia's photos of our city hall ceremony! Lilia is clearly a very experienced photographer who coached and encouraged us well to get the best shots and angles. I am so impressed by the photos she captured on a very busy day in city hall. She is patient, easy-going and fun to work with. I highly recommend her!

Lilia was absolutely amazing! She captured our intimate City Hall wedding perfectly. From the start Lilia was professional and organized. Her communication was great, as she set up check in calls during the months leading up to the wedding to ensure we were all on the same page -- I highly appreciated that.
When we arrived to City Hall Lilia wasted no time. She was efficient and focused. We booked the 1.5 hour session with her and she made sure we utilized every minute (without feeling rushed). She also got along well with my family and made us feel comfortable in the spotlight.

My husband and I got married on June 2018 at San Francisco City Hall and we hired Lilia to be our photographer. Let me just say she is more than a photographer. The photos she took were pure art and told a story. She not only took amazing photos that we look at all the time but she was also our guide, coordinator, hair and wardrobe assistant. She was by far the best photographer we have ever hired. The whole experience was amazing! Her personality was contagious and she was so much fun. We laughed so much that day and honestly she brought the best out of my husband and I in the photos. She was

Lilia is amazing, super responsive and she made us feel very comfortable. She did a phenomenal job capturing our SF City Hall ceremony and she delivered on everything we asked for and more. Also, we really didn’t know where to go to check in and what to do next but she helped us through the entire wedding process. Thanks Lilia for everything you’ve done for us!

I never leave reviews on Yelp, but I absolutely needed to talk about how amazing Lilia is! We hired Lilia to photograph our City Hall wedding this past May. Even before we had our date set in stone, I was already sure that I wanted to work with Lilia. I felt like she was my wedding coordinator, answering all of my questions regarding the ins and outs of a city hall wedding (since I had no idea what I had to do). Lilia was very communicative leading up to our wedding, which I really appreciated because it helped ease my nerves. On the day of, Lilia was prompt (even getting there before my groom

We hired Lilia for our SF City Hall wedding. We could not have been more happy with Lilia's work as well as her professionalism! We strongly recommend Lilia because:
1) prompt and professional! Throughout the entire process, Lilia was quick to respond to any of our questions
2) knowledgeable of city hall; in addition to being our photographer she was our city hall guide! She knew the entire process down to every detail and was able to explain it along the way. The city hall staff even knew her by name!
3) As a SF city hall pro, she knew where to get the best shots; therefore we got amazing

Lilia shot our City Hall wedding and was fantastic to work with from the initial phone call to the final photo delivery. She knew all the best spots in the building and even sent us some helpful tips the week before about where to go and what to bring to ensure a smooth and stress-free wedding day. We also did some photos at other locations along the Embarcadero after the ceremony, and Lilia had lots of great ideas and locations in mind for that as well. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, and would highly recommend Lilia to anyone planning a wedding in San Francisco!

We hired Lilia to shoot our SF City Hall wedding and she was absolutely amazing! We called her our "City Hall Guru" because she helped us through the whole process and made everything very easy for us (City Hall can be a little intimidating if you don't know what to expect). She has been on top of her communication from day one which put me at ease. I have found not all vendors communicate as well which always makes me nervous. Prior to our wedding she requested a shot list and names of all those in attendance in advance so by the time we met her at City Hall she was able to call

Great photographer to work with. Great attitude. very punctual and she knows how to manage guests in order to take amazing pictures. She is great at time management during her session and suggests poses for those who are not born to be models :))
She's definitely a pro at her job! Thank you Lilia for the amazing pictures!

Lilia was much more than a photographer for our San Fran city hall wedding. She helped immensely in guiding my large party around the building efficiently yet kindly. My guests all mentioned being impressed by her friendliness. My now husband and I are not big picture takers and therefore are not in our element when it comes to posing etc. but Lilia kindly reminded us to smile and gently gave us directions which ultimately resulted in pictures that im very happy with. My favorite part is that the very next day she emails you quite a few preview photos to hold you over until the rest are ready

From the beginning, Lilia was welcoming, friendly, thoughtful, and professional. In the middle of our first meeting, my now husband got a call with some terrible news. Lilia handled the situation with perfect poise and grace, insisting we finish our conversation at another time if we wished. Her concern and understanding were definitely greatly appreciated! And it was from that first meeting that we knew Lilia needed to be our photographer.
Her work, too, is simply amazing--my husband and I look through our engagement and wedding photos all the time. There is a beautiful simplicity and stunning

My husband and I got married on July 24, 2014 in San Francisco's City Hall and we could not be more ecstatic about our photos. Lilia was so friendly and easy going. She was so wonderful to work with and captured moments I had not ever imagined we would see in photos. She kept our photo session fun, exciting, and memorable. Her guidance, attention to detail, and technique made for the most perfect photos. Our families and friends could not get over how professional and beautiful our photos looked. Lilia is an artist and we are eternally grateful with her for making our wedding day truly perfect

My husband and I know professional photographers that would have loved to been a part of our wedding but I wanted someone that knew City Hall well; hiring Lilia was the best decision we made for our special day.
When we arrived to discover that a special event was using most of City Hall, she calmly reassured us that we would get beautiful photos and suggested that we ask for use of the 4th floor. Also, when our families wanted to talk with us when we needed to take care of our paperwork, she kindly let them know that we had to take care of a few things before the ceremony. Then, the grandparents

Lilia is a miracle worker! Our wedding just happened to fall on the one day it decided to downpour in San Francisco. Despite the horrible weather, she made all the pictures look amazing. From our wedding in City Hall, to all the group photos and the reception... All our guests were astounded at how beautiful all the photos turned out. Lilia helped us navigate through what could've been the most stressful day and made it go by so much easier and smoother with her knowledge of the inner workings of SF City Hall and where to get the best shots. She even stayed a little past her time at the

Lilia is amazing! We had no idea what to expect when planning our City Hall wedding back in August. We were both nervous about being photographed but Lilia made us feel incredibly comfortable and did a fantastic job giving us direction and helping us pick inventive shots.
We went to several locations in the city and she was very accommodating about making sure we hit all the locations we wanted. This included a really sketchy spot in the Tenderloin, the Yoda fountain in the Presidio and the Academy of Sciences. Lilia was kind enough to shuttle us around the city and fully embraced the unconventional

On our initial meeting, she was very patient and detailed in showing us her portfolio. We also really liked that her pricing options were very flexible, and didn't require us to buy expensive packages that included various prints and albums in order to hire her as our wedding photographer.

Best experience ever! The "Lilia" experience is bar none the quintessential idealized wedding photography experience. Her clearly exerted efforts to make our project her project is evident through every step of this potentially stressful and exhausting process. Throughout the day, her energy level feeds into the subjects' ability to keep going to get this very special day captured on film. Her smile and vivacious laughter make everything seamless.

I hired Lilia to shoot our wedding at City Hall based on yelp reviews and we could not be happier. First, she was very easy and pleasant to work with both before the wedding and the day of. She knew her way around City Hall and made us feel very comfortable. She took her time with us, and we have amazing photos as the result. Everyone keeps commenting that our photos look like a magazine shoot! We have to agree---- they are breathtaking. We have photos at City Hall, and at Crissy Field. The photos with the Golden Gate bridge are amazing! I would highly recommend Lilia.
