hi, i'm lillian
and i'm the digital + film photographer behind lilliioodle photography. I blend cinematic technique and a documentary approach to capture love stories amid the fleeting poetry of everyday life.
I photograph weddings, elopements, engagements, and just-because sessions for couples in London, Oxford, and across the UK. I'm also available for travel worldwide!
When I'm not working with couples, I enjoy working on branding ventures with my small business clients.
I'm originally from Michigan and moved to the UK a few years ago after getting married. When i'm not behind the lens, you'll likely find me curled up with a book, crafting, editing sessions in one of our local coffeeshops, going on long walks with my husband in the chilterns countryside, and playing with little pippa, our siberian kitten. I love lazy days at the lake, the smell of open windows and summer air, long drives with my best friends, and art that makes me feel alive :)
If you feel aligned with my work and are interested in booking with me, please don't hesitate to reach out through my inquiry form. I offer a free 15 minute initial chat where I can get to know what you're looking for, and you can tell me a bit about yourself.
*Most of us are not used to being in front of a camera and it can be quite nerve-wracking - and that's totally okay! I've worked with many couples who have communicated nerves and I always do my best to make you comfortable. That might look like some really lame jokes, some gentle direction and posing, LOTS of compliments...so our photo sessions always end up feeling more like a pretty fun hang, if you ask me :)
I love to make illustrated cards for my couples, and also make (handmade) custom embroidered wedding vow books in my spare time! If this is something you're interested in as a wedding client, let me know!
