Questions & notes about Nina Lily Photography

Nina Lily Photography is an award winning boutique wedding photography studio specializing in documentary storytelling with a modern nostalgic approach. Owner Christina Campbell and our collective of artists bring a mix of contemporary vision, fine-art aesthetic, and over a decade of event industry experience to your wedding collaboration. 

Please explore the questions below for more about our work, style, and process.

How would you describe your style?

We call our style artistic documentation. Our artists appreciate great imagery and feel that nothing less should be passed on to our clients. Your photographer and owner Christina Campbell work closely with you throughout the process to ensure that we create imagery that speaks to your tastes, style, and emotion. Using digital imagery, we create modern pieces with a nostalgic look. These will be images that will trigger memories of your amazing day, so we strive to tell your story in the most creative ways possible while maintaining an organic, honest dialog. 

We aren’t comfortable having our picture taken. How do you get such natural looking imagery?

We use a documentary approach in telling the story of your day and strive to be as unobtrusive as possible. In addition to this type of coverage, we will also designate a specific amount of time for your ‘Alone Session.’ We look at this portion of your day as an opportunity for you to focus on each other and stay grounded in the moment; we can schedule as much time as necessary in order to create a laid back and stress-free environment for you. During this time, we will guide you through some suggested posing techniques in order to facilitate natural interaction with one another. This allows us to create beautiful, candid imagery that will remind you of the way you felt in the moment on your wedding day.

It is also helpful to book an engagement session prior to your wedding. Clients who take advantage of some camera time before their wedding day often feel much more relaxed with photography on their day, especially during their Alone Session. Regardless, we strive to create a comfortable, organic and fun experience for you, which naturally translates into great imagery.

When will I receive our images & how many images should we expect?

Approximately 10 weeks following your event, you will receive access to an online gallery of your full image collection. Our full wedding day image collections range from 800 – 1,000 images from your event. Following Christina’s own wedding, she began offering clients larger image sets. While we don’t want to overwhelm you with imagery, we do want to make sure that every aspect of your day is covered; from the clouds in the sky to establishing shots of your venue to extra candid moments of your guests. We feel that every aspect of your day is important and we want you to have comprehensive documentation.

Can we print our photos?

All of our investment options include high-resolution image files printable up to 8x12” and featuring personal rights to reproduction. This means you can take your files and have them printed at the lab of your choosing. We are always available to discuss best practices for handling your digital files and we also offer additional enlargement options through your online gallery.

Do you travel?

Yes, we love to travel! As artists, traveling is one of the ways we reenergize and reconnect. As storytellers, we believe that it is important to constantly explore and educate oneself regarding the larger community. We have had the opportunity to travel extensively for work and play. Destination wedding locations have included locations within the continental US and abroad. You can view our featured Tuscan wedding HERE.

Travel is always included for the Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas.

Travel requiring hotel accommodations and/or flight arrangements will be quoted on an individual basis.

Do you offer elopement & micro-wedding packages?
