Weddings
I’m Lily Ma, a wedding photographer and film producer based in Chicago. Having a background in film production, where my passion for telling love stories began: learning to shape emotion, light, and movement into something meaningful. That cinematic foundation guides the way I photograph weddings today.
Hi, I'm Lily
lead photographer of numi studio
We gifted some prints to family members for Christmas and we definitely got some happy tears! You really helped make our day so so so special, and we are happy to do anything that helps you!
“We honestly cannot get over how much we love them!”
Lily is definitely a very talented photographer! She is so good with catching movement and small details, also joyful to work with. We love all our wedding photos, they are absolutely gorgeous. We got a lot of compliments from friends and families.
“Lily is one of the most kind and talented souls we've met.”
I had the pleasure of working with Lily several times, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Her focus on film-style storytelling truly sets her apart. Each photo feels like a frame from a compelling movie, and I'm constantly impressed by her ability to capture emotion and narrative in her work.
“BEST storytelling photographer ever!”
