Lilian did an absolutely incredible, amazing job capturing every detail of our wedding. There are so many stunning pictures, it was difficult to choose the ones for the album (which is rare). Working with her was a wonderful experience. She is extremely professional, thorough, and does whatever necessary to capture the perfect shot. Her passion for photography is unmistakable, and it really shows in the product she produced. The photographs of our wedding are of a quality, style and excellence that I truly have not seen before in other wedding photographs. They look like images seen in high-end magazines, not standard, familiar wedding photography. For our engagement shoot, Lilian suggested that my now-husband and I take a trip up to the Berkshires for her to photograph us in beautiful nature settings, and those photographs, in addition to the wedding photographs, are incredible. Separate from the actual photographs, the quality of her physical wedding album is unlike any I have seen before. It’s modern and gorgeous, with incredibly thick pages. I realize this review may seem over-the-top, but it’s 100% genuine, sincere and authentic. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Lilian as your wedding or event photographer.

I got married last June at the Metropolitan Club in NYC and researched over 40 photographers. I accidentally stumbled upon the Lilian’s work and right away could tell that we were a match. Lilian and I met a few days after and I was extremely impressed by her talent, work, creativity, and demeanor. You could tell she loves what she does and takes every job she takes to heart. I signed with Lilian right after I met with her and we scheduled an engagement shoot shortly thereafter. I wanted to use some of the photos for the save the date and wanted to do something original. Lilian went above and beyond helping me scout unique locations and even accommodated multiple outfit changes. During the engagement shoot, Lilian taught us how to pose and how to get comfortable in front of the camera. We started with some practice shots and refined them during the shoot. The pictures turned out amazing and till this day we try to remember Lilian’s advice when we take pictures. Fast forward a few months and it was time to plan for the wedding day. Lilian was so accommodating and organized, I felt like I was dealing with a close family member or friend versus a vendor. I got married at the Metropolitan Club in NYC and Lilian had photographed weddings there for many years, so she was very comfortable with the venue and knew all the right places to get the best “shots” with the best lighting. She went above and beyond to plan out the day-of logistics for photos and had a plan B in case we faced inclement weather and could not go to Central Park to take photos outdoors. Lilian gave clear directions during the day and managed my large bridal party and family without missing a beat. As part of our agreement, I explained that I wanted the whole day captured and Lilian took my ask quite literally. She did not miss a beat and captured everything from getting ready photos, candids, the park, the most creative detail shots, party moments and the most incredible sparkler send-off on 5th Avenue! I cannot thank Lilian enough for her hard work and professionalism on my wedding day and throughout the whole process, my whole family felt so comfortable working with her and times did not even realize there was a camera taking shots of us. I got the wedding photos a few short weeks after the wedding and was very impressed by the quality and quantity of photos. I decided to also work with Lilian and have her design wedding albums as a keepsake. Lilian helped me narrow down the photos and designed the most beautiful album. It is hard to believe that those are my wedding photos when the album quite literally looks more like a spread out of a luxury magazine. I absolutely loved working with Lilian and her team. I recommend her to all my friends and family and have already had the pleasure of seeing her again at a few weddings and look forward to hiring Lilian again for all future gatherings and photo shoots. Look no further than Lilian for wedding photography. You will not be disappointed!!

Lilian Haidar is an amazing photographer… or better put artist! The wedding photos we received from her were beyond our expectations. She is imaginative, passionate and caring with an eye for images that are outside of the “wedding industry” box. Photography is not a job for Lilian, it is her life, her passion. She puts her whole being into her work, and it shows. She also puts the camera “where the story is” by capturing both the subtle and the splendid. The images we received truly represent the emotion of the moment to moment reality of our union and the gathering in a way that was genuinely unexpected. We could not be happier!

“Lilian Haidar is a true artist! After hours spent researching a wedding photographer to capture my special day, I stumbled upon Lilian’s work and instantly fell in love. Furthermore, after working with Lilian, she simply surpassed all of my expectations. She is a very talented photographer and a great person to work with. Quirky and upbeat, Lilian quickly made everyone feel comfortable and gave guidance/tips to assure that we all looked our very best. I cannot begin to describe how amazing the results came out!

“Lilian’s photos of our wedding are among our most treasured possessions. She captured one of the biggest days of our lives with an uncommon sensitivity that makes her worth her weight in gold. Our photographs have a cinematic quality that transcends the documentary style. They are beautiful, romantic, and match our wedding’s aesthetic. She completely understood our personalities. Like the best kind of documentary films she takes real life and transforms it into a compelling and beautiful narrative.”

“If you want the best photographer who will take the time to understand your unique relationship and capture your wedding in the most beautiful, creative way then you must work with Lilian. Dominic & I felt that our photos reflect our love, our personality and captured moments we shared in the most stunning way. We knew she was great, but she exceeded our expectations – and this comes from two very creative, ‘picky’ people with really discerning tastes – she is amazing!!!! We Love You Lilian.”

“Lilian is a truly remarkable photographer. She photographed our destination wedding in the Caribbean and we were incredibly pleased with Lilian’s professionalism and talent. Our photos are absolutely incredible-they are far from the traditional wedding posed photos and really capture the essence of the moment in a stunning artistic manner. Lilian covered our wedding weekend for four full days and really felt like a part of our family by the end. She gives wonderful direction and is incredibly helpful, constantly giving 110%. Because of this, we would highly recommend Lilian Haidar Photography to any couple seeking beautiful authentic photos that capture every subtle moment of a wedding!”

“Lilian is wondeful, talented and incredible. Her photography is gorgeous and are works of art. She had the photos developed and ready for pick up by the time I was back from my honeymoon. The quality of the color and b/w prints is perfect. I also purchased a few albums and they are also unique and very high quality. They sit on our coffee table. Lilian is very passionate about her work and takes it seriously. You can ask Lilian how much time she spent with me and Paul! I get so many compliments on our photos and album… I LOVE Lilian.”

“Lilian was the best decision we made in planning our wedding. If you want an artist to document your special day – and not merely a contracting photographer – you simply can’t do better. Lilian approaches projects with care, consideration, humor, and obvious creativity. Over the course of your project – from initial meeting through engagement shot to the big day – you will find yourself gaining not just an endless array of wonderful photos, but also a friend and a support to get you through the often-stressful process of planning a wedding.”

“We are so happy we found Lilian to capture our wedding day and many days thereafter! She is a true gem and her beautiful style of shooting fit our criteria perfectly! She has a great artistic presence, seeking out the best location, lighting, and style. Furthermore she is genuinely invested in your day and photos and cares about the people she works with. Most of all, she is an amazing person to work with and to have with you on such an important day! We could not be happier with our choice and recommend her unequivocally!”
