Meet Lilly, the person behind the lens
Based in southern utah, photographing weddings since 2024
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
I am a huge empathetic, so yes I might have a couple tears in my eyes throughout your day
Emotions are HUGE for me, and are one of my favorite parts of weddings. My goal is to capture all those gorgeous shots you'll hang on the wall, but also capture everything else
The pictures of grandma crying during your first dance, your moms smile while you cut the cake, and that special hug with dad before he gives you away.
Fun facts about me:
- Love hyping people up, but an introvert at heart
- Married in an LDS temple in 2025
- Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda
- Little Caesuras is the best pizza place
- Grew up playing soccer & lacrosse
- Picked up my first camera in 2020 for sports photography but felt drawn to weddings

Testimonials
We needed a photographer to get photos of the people at the temple with my daughter’s wedding. She was wonderful. The grooms cousin took the bridal and engagement pictures, but wasn’t comfortable taking the big group family pictures because she was related. Lilly came in and got the job done. I would definitely use her again. Also, she informed me that our photos were her first wedding photos she had taken. I wouldn’t have known if she didn’t tell me. Thank you!

I absolutely love Lilly and her photography style! She was both professional and personable, making the entire experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. She came prepared with creative pose ideas while also being open to any requests or ideas we had. She captured our family photos beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I highly recommend Lily Wade Photo for anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and professional photographer!
