Lilian Haidar Photography

Lilian was an absolute joy to work with. She is highly professional, very responsive to your e-mails, patient, and most of all, her photos turn out beautiful. By working with her, we know that we have one less thing to worry about for the wedding because we are in safe hands. What you see is what you get when working with Lilian - there is absolutely no surprises which is always a great thing. We highly recommend Lilian's services.

I loved working with Lilian. Her vision is excellent- you'll receive a wonderful mix of classic, dreamlike wedding images with a bit of a fresh, contemporary documentary feel. Her command of her instruments is impressive, and her assistants kind and capable. As a visual artist, it was really difficult for me to find someone I could trust with my vision as well as trusting in theirs. With Lilian, I never had any fears. I'm also very shy, but she figured out quite quickly how to make me relax as well as make both my husband and I laugh and act normally. We both loved speaking with her and being around her. You can really tell when a person truly believes in and loves the work that they do and she definitely does. It's invigorating to work with someone who cares so deeply about their profession. Working with her was a lovely, special addition to the often tedious wedding process. She was always on time, always in a good mood, always professional. She takes her time- but you should let her, because the end result is so worth it. Our photos turned out perfectly. I have received nothing but compliments and praise from awestruck family members and friends.

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.

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 - Anjanette & Dominic Sinesio

Lilian is a truly remarkable photographer. She photographed our destination wedding in the Caribbean this past May (2011) 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 and her fantastic assistant 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%. We would highly recommend Lilian Haidar Photography to any couple seeking beautiful authentic photos that capture every subtle moment of a wedding!

Lilian's photos are absolutely stunning. I simply cannot stop looking through them and reliving the day. She skillfully captured every moment in a very natural, authentic way. From our first meeting with her she focused in on exactly want we wanted and went above and beyond to deliver. We could not be happier.

Lilian Haidar is a true artist - I actually just reviewed the lay out of my wedding album earlier today. Lilian captured so many absolutely beautiful, spontaneous moments from my wedding - the shots that she took were unique, different and truly lovely. I am so excited that I worked with her and used Lilian as my wedding photographer, because I feel as though not only are my photographs beautiful, but, some of them are real works of art.

As an individual, Lilian is not only an extremely talented photographer in a city full of fabulous photographers - she is professional, accountable, thoughtful, goes the extra mile and a dream to be in the company of. As an element of my wedding: Lilian Haidar Photography was a highlight and part of making my day truly memorable ...full of surprises beyond my expectations. I'm a creative director by trade, used to being behind the camera- and camera-shy and insecure beyond belief :) I now look at my photos and feel more beautiful and confident than I ever did. Yes, my review is obviously quite glowing- but don't just take my word for it... you'll see what I mean when you have the pleasure of working with her.

We can't recommend Lilian highly enough. Her photographs are incredible and have provided us with the perfect memento of our wedding. But Lilian is also a pleasure to work with. She is efficient and direct to ensure she gets the best possible shots, but also has a great sense of humour and a very professional team. We are so pleased that Lilian caputured the essence of our special day so beautifully.

Lilian has one of the best photographic-eyes around. A superb wedding photographer! I highly recommend her (and I can be extremely picky New Yorker!). Hint: make it an overseas wedding and ask her to come shoot it for you!

Lilian did an amazing job photographing our wedding! She was a joy to work with, as were her assistants. I couldn't believe how many up close and intimate shots she got from the night, all while being incredibly unobtrusive. We don't have our albums yet, but I've seen some of the albums she's made for other couples and they are just stunning. She shoots digital but her albums more like gorgeous art books than albums ordered from a web site - the design, the quality, the thickness of the pages, all are exquisite. Plus, because the photos are digital, a second duplicate album costs significantly less than the first. She was also extremely flexible about setting up an engagement shoot with us on the day before Christmas. I would recommend her highly to anyone - you'll be in good hands!

What Lilian brings to your wedding is, without a doubt, the best memories of your most special, treasured moments. What drew me to Lilian was her calmness and ease - she knew exactly what I wanted to capture without even having to explain. Her unique eye in photography made my wedding album and portraits so unique, everyone that sees them comments how beautiful they are. The time Lilian spent with me before the wedding, during wedding and after wedding went far beyond what I expected! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot thank Lilian Haidar enough for the incredibly beautiful pictures she took on my wedding day. For having worked as a model for years prior, I can honestly say that aside from being an amazing photographer; Lilian is also full of creativity. She is able to provide her clients with the exact results they ask and wish for. I hired a photographer, I discovered a business woman who is first and foremost an artist, the best possible choice you could make for the most important day of your life.

Working with Lilian was an absolute breeze. We met a few times prior to the wedding and she thoroughly guided us through every step of the process. She managed to capture so much of the expression of our wedding while remaining practically invisible. We were very happy with her shots and the albums she designed. We couldn't have asked for more.

Lilian Haidar was a pleasure to work with for my June 2010 wedding. She is an excellent photographer and extremely professional. We didn't have a single complaint and the photographs and album she provided for us were absolutely gorgeous--something we will treasure forever. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high quality photography. Additionally, compared to many other photographers in New York City that we interviewed, Lilian's prices were reasonable and I felt like we got much more for our money with her than we would have if we had hired a different photographer. Highly recommended!

Lilian is an amazing photographer and a true professional. Her years of experience are evident in her work. My husband and I are so thrilled with her work on our wedding. She did everything we asked and MORE! Our pictures are unique and capture the elements of NYC that we wanted. She even incorporated my flare for drama and my husband's for architecture. I would recommend her to anyone. I am happy we hired Lilian to preserve the happiest day of our life. She left nothing to chance and planned every moment so that come our wedding day, there was nothing to fear.

We are still amazed when we look through our wedding album - she is truly talented! She captured the spirit of our wedding beautifully, every detail that she focused on tells a story. The emotions that were felt on that day were perfectly put into photograph form. Working with Lilian was an absolute pleasure. She is so much fun and made the grueling task of putting the album together fun and manageable. HIGHLY recommend her.

Lilian is incredibly talented and I highly recommend her! She was extremely professional, easy to work with, and gave us the most beautiful photos we could possibly imagine. Her photojournalistic style is one the reasons why we choose her to photograph our wedding; aside from the family portraits, we did not want a lot of posed photos, and Lilian and her team expertly captured the fun and magic of the day with beautiful candids. Lilian is also extremely organized, yet another trait that makes her easy to work with. The albums, which were made in Italy, were also of the highest quality I have ever seen.

Even until this day my friends and family members are still gushing over my wedding album. The pictures that Lilian took were simply AMAZING!! She was able to capture both the feel of the wedding as well as intimate emotional moments. She has an incredible artistic eye, she's able to visualize what the end result will look like when most of us couldn't. I had a destination wedding in Bali, and Lilian was such a pro. She was with us for the whole week. She documented everything, and constantly coming up with many creative picture opportunities for our album. She's full of energy and passion for what she does, and it's a pleasure watching her work. All in all working with Lilian was such a delight. I highly reccomend her as a photographer.

My wife and I recently got married in the wintertime in NYC and hired Lilian as our photographer. When we first started our search for a photographer, we wanted to avoid the usual "schmaltzy" soft-focus photos that tend to be taken at weddings. Of course, weddings tend to be a gauzy, emotional time, but we felt that Lilian's work overall were more interesting and visually exciting than any of the other portfolios that we saw. Lilian was able to capture many of the small and large moments of our wedding remarkably well - she has the keen eye and cool hand of a seasoned professional, but the understanding and emotional sensitivity of a talented artist. Given that our wedding reception was in a windowless room in fairly low lighting, she created a canon of photos that are special -- and terribly hard to choose between when putting together our subsequent photo album. We recommend her fully for future occasions.
