Your elopement photographer, storyteller, and travel buddy (and the girl who will absolutely cry behind the camera during your vows.)

Before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I was a virtual assistant for photographers. I spent my days behind the scenes, writing their blogs, managing their Pinterest, organizing client galleries, and somewhere in all of that… I fell in love. Not just with the photos, but with the emotion and stories behind them. I’m the kind of girl who just loves love and I always have, from the old couple at the mexican restaurant to diving into romance novels.

Hi, I ‘m Lillian!

I realized I didn’t just want to support the art, I wanted to create it. I grew up in Colorado, moved to Kansas in high school, traveled full time and finally moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2025.

Now, I photograph intimate elopements and couples across the U.S. and beyond. My work is nostalgic, warm, and emotionally rich, like your favorite memory, saved forever. I gravitate towards real, unposed connection, I live for the candid shots no one saw coming.
