WE WANT YOU TO

Look back at your photos, and feel it all over again.

We work with a trusted team of photographers and videographers who share our approach and standards. Together, we focus on creating beautiful, honest imagery while making the experience feel effortless from beginning to end.

We’ll give direction when it’s needed, step back when it isn’t, and make sure you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera.

When we're not at a wedding...

We’re usually working on something, building something, or disappearing somewhere outdoors. We’ve been together long enough to know exactly how to annoy each other, somehow still enjoy working together, and share our home with a cat who is fairly certain he owns the place.Lilac Studios is very much a reflection of the two of us — how we see things, how we work, and the standards we hold ourselves to.

Photography that feels like your wedding.

Our approach combines thoughtful composition with genuine, unscripted moments. We create photographs and films with intention, while leaving space for the day to unfold naturally.The result is imagery that feels polished without feeling staged - expressive, cinematic, and rooted in what actually happened.

More than what you see.

A wedding day moves quickly, and you simply can’t be everywhere at once. While you’re living one moment, dozens of others are happening around you.We pay attention to those moments - the reactions, interactions, details and people that make the day yours. Our goal is to tell the story beyond the expected highlights, so when you look back, you discover parts of your wedding you didn’t even know were happening.

The Team

Natalia

Creator of Lilac Studios, Lead Photographer | Customer Happiness Guru

Natalia’s creative path started as soon as she could hold a pencil. Her mom had to travel to larger cities to buy countless coloring books and signed her up for art classes at the age of 4. Although she tried many things, it was when she got her first camera that she knew it was her way of capturing the beauty of the world, people, and finally, love stories.

Natalia’s superpower is putting her couples and their closest ones at ease and radiating calm energy throughout the chaos of a wedding day.

Most clients describe her as a down-to-earth, kind, and detail-oriented person.

Matt

Creator of Lilac Studios, Lead Videographer | Tech Wizard | Expert of Operations

Having a hobbyist photographer dad, who would convert the kitchen into a darkroom on a daily basis, Matt was surrounded by photographic paper, film, and red bulbs since early childhood. His natural curiosity for the technical process and artsy mind led him to pursue Vision and Sound Engineering Studies, where he could combine both worlds, filming short documentary films and exploring the technical aspects of the film industry simultaneously. It didn't take him long to realize that what he loved most was capturing the emotional stories of people.

Our clients describe him as an easy-going person. It is evident that his jokes, huge smile, and deep laugh make people so comfortable around him.

Tom

Lead Editor

As Matt’s younger brother, Tom has been surrounded by photography and art since he can remember. Starting as a content creator in times when YouTube wasn’t owned by Google, he developed a great understanding and knowledge about film, editing, and storytelling. His first creations were sports documentaries, as he is still a huge fan of the NBA and soccer (YNWA!). You can see some of those influences in his creations.

His expert knowledge and great attention to detail make him the perfect person to translate your story into an edited film.
