We LOVED Liss and Bill! My husband has a crazy schedule and they were able to work around our schedules and even able to squeeze us in for our engagement pictures! They were very patient with us during the entire process and we are so thankful for that :) The hardest part about working with these two was deciding what pictures we liked the best!

Most brides say their wedding day seems rushed and like one big blur. Liss and Bill made our wedding day such an enjoyable and laid back experience and for that, my husband and I are so grateful. They were never pushy or overbearing, and instead, let us do what we wanted and needed to do when we needed to do it and were there for the ride every step of the way, capturing every moment. It is also such a blessing to have two working because they truly do capture everything. As the bride, it was such a treat being able to go back and look at the pictures of events that I could not be a part of, for example, the groom getting ready for the wedding and the groom's brunch. As noted in a previous review, most of the photos are candid shots, but Liss and Bill are more than willing to take posed photos of whoever and whatever you want. We are so thrilled with our photos and so greatly appreciate their hard work and time they put into documenting the most important day of our lives! Thank you, Liss and Bill!!! Love, Ben and Taylor Conway

My husband and I are extremely happy with the work of Liss Sterling Photography. Liss and Bill are fantastic, and work so well together. Their creativity is in perfect balance with the fundamentals of wedding photography; in other words, they will work with you to plan what you want and need in terms of the essentials of capturing your wedding, plus they are great at "spontaneous creativity." They have an excellent eye for sizing up the situation, environment, and energy at hand during a shoot, then making the most of it all! In addition, they are easy to work with, and very good at making their subjects feel comfortable. After all, it's a once in a lifetime occasion, having a professional photograph your beautiful union, so it should be rewarding AND fun ... right? Thanks Liss and Bill!

If you are a bride who is looking for the best photographers in town then STOP looking-you found them!!! I remember how crazy my life was when I began planning my wedding and I knew that I had dreamed of having a big wedding all of my life and wanted it to be perfect! So I began searching and searching to find the perfect photographers and when I say I looked everywhere I did! I looked in Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, Florida, and Huntsville and finally decided on Liss and Bill. I am a very picky person when it came to vendors and I wasn't going to just hire anyone. It was a very easy decision because A. their work speaks for itself and B. the first time I met Liss she came to my house and really showed me that she genuinally had a vested interest in me by taking the time to find out what I really wanted....not as a customer, but as a person! And I am so glad today that I did chose her and Bill. Take it from me that I have hired local photographers that took huge amounts of money and did not put in the amount of time, care, and effort that Liss and Bill put in. Not only did we get amazing engagement pictures (that I made many special requests during the shoot and they gladly abliged me), I had gorgeous bridal pictures, and my wedding pictures are more amazing than I could have ever dreamed but also we got them back in a timely fashion unlike the many months you can wait with some photographers. Not only was Liss my photographer but she helped me find an amazing wedding singer and also she sent me to a fantastic makeup artist who made me look perfect all day of my wedding!!! She saved me alot of stress and time helping find those two people!! That is what am saying though....No one but Liss and Bill care enough to make your perfect day perfect. As every bride knows the wedding process can be stressful and it goes by so fast on your wedding day. You want to have the confidence that someone you trust is going to capture the very essence of your love story. I and my husband are thrilled that we have these beautiful pictures that made us laugh, they made us cry, and most of all they will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Thank you Bill and Liss.

Liss and Bill did a great job of capturing every moment of our wedding day. Not only are they great photographers, but they are also very funny and easy to work with. Their quality of work is amazing and we have received tons of compliments on how awesome all of our pictures are. If we had to pick a photographer again, I would definitely choose them.

Liss and Bill were amazing to work with and I can honestly say they were the best decision that we made throughout the entire planning process. They took the time to get to know who we were as individuals and as future husband & wife, as well as how we met and fell in love. The more interactions we had with them, the more they knew what we wanted out of the day and the photos. Communication was the key! They are absolutely amazing in capturing the entire process and telling the wedding story.
If I were to give any advice to future brides I would say this:
My husband and I saw each other before the wedding. I was so torn on this decision as I know many are... I was 50/50, maybe even 75/25 of not seeing him. But I know I made the correct decision. Derek and I were able to have a very private, romantic and tender moment, just the two of us, no one else around before the ceremony. It was perfect! Just my husband to be and I, no distractions. The pictures that captured this moment are some of my favorites Liss & Bill took.
And secondly, during the reception pause and take it all in. Find a corner and just notice people's faces and expressions. It is an amazing feeling. The night truly goes by in a flash and many of my memories from the evening come from that brief moment that I took.
Enjoy EVERYTHING!

Excellent job! They were the best vendor involved at our wedding by far. We got an amazing photo that made me truly appreciate their expertise.

Liss and Bill helped us relax and enjoy the whole process. They took the time to talk to family and friends; they captured those special looks and relationships that made that day so special. The best way to relive a moment is by looking at photos, and I'm so glad we hired them to capture those glimpses of time.

Bill and Liss are incredibly gifted photographers and super nice people. They were a pleasure to work with - very friendly and accomodating. My son's beautiful wedding day was captured perfectly and I have gotten so much joy from looking at the pictures. They provide me with so much detail that I missed on that day. Ordering prints was easy and they remembered us immediately despite the many events they cover. Thanks Bill and Liss!!!

Liss and Bill went above and beyond to make me feel confident and sure in their skills. From the engagement and bridal sessions to the entire wedding week, Bill and Liss were there every time I turned around. As everything began to fall apart with monsoon rains for our outdoor wedding, Liss strapped on her mud boots and said no fear. One of my favorite memories was during the ceremony, I heard plastic moving behind me and when I turned around, Liss was on her back in the mud just to get that perfect shot. They were the first vendors we booked, more than a year out from our wedding, and by far, one of the best decisions we could have made. Their quality of work is far beyond what we even imagined and they truly became like family to us. Thank you for everything!

Bill and Liss have done an amazing job with my wedding. James and I couldn't be more pleased with the way the engagement photos, bridal pics, and all of the wedding shots turned out! The care and time they put into each shot shows. They are so fun to hang out with as well; they make the photo shoots fun!! Getting to know them as professionals and friends has been a blessing to both of us! I would MORE than recommend them as anyone's photographer!

Bill and Liss are very professional and pleasant to work with.
We cannot thank them enough for PERFECTLY capturing every detail and every single emotion we have felt for each other since the beginning of our relationship and throughout our wedding day with our family.
Our album was more, greater than we imagined and expected!

To define Liss Sterling Photography as a "vendor" for my wedding is an understatement because they provided so much more than photographs of my event. Liss and Bill captured the love, excitement, tenderness, joy, and bliss of the most significant and special day in my life; the photos truly embody a love story and they were one of the best parts, if not the best part, of my wedding experience.
One of my friends said that what makes their photos so special is the way they made her feel. It's true. If you want to capture the essence of your wedding experience, the way a father shelters his daughter from the weather, the way a mother helps her daughter into her dress, and the look in the groom's eyes when he sees his bride for the first time, you must use Liss Sterling Photography.
Liss and Bill are very professional and very flexible. For an outdoor wedding, I'm not sure if I could have had worst weather, but the photos still caught the beauty of that day, and Bill and Liss were real troopers. I could not have been in better hands. My albums are works of art, and they are my most treasured possessions from my wedding.
My husband and I feel that we have made friends for life and look forward to them taking pictures of our children someday.
Rose and Matthew
Wedding: 10/19/08
the pros:
1. they are such fun, warm, sincere people that they make the experience very confortable and fun
2. they take amazing candid photographs capturing emotions and unique perspectives on the event
3. I LOVED gettingt and owning all of our digital images!
4. they stayed for almost the whole day- over 12 hours!
5. the pictures were available on line and on dvd very quickly, and very well-organized!
the cons:
1. we only had one formal bride and groom shot that we loved- i wish they ahd directed us a little more to actually look at the camera
2. lots of random shots of hands, shot glasses, etc- I guess they are "arty" but i would have rather had more shots of friends and family- many of our guests didn't make it into a single candid
3. the pictures were not cropped well

All I can say is WOW. Liss and Bill are the BEST. That's actually my husband and me on their profile picture. They did a fabulous job, and I couldn't be happier. They are professional, easy to work with, flexible with scheduling, and they work hard to make your wedding photography something you'll cherish for years to come. Book them-- you won't be disappointed!

Liss Sterling Photography has two extraordinary photographers that are able to capture the moment in every picture. They are able to tell a story with their pictures and the end result is fabulous. I would highly recommend Liss Sterling Photography and I hope to use them again.

Liss and Bill were exceptional to work with. They spent time with my husband and me during an engagement shoot, they covered our wedding rehearsal, and even drove 20 minutes to our rehearsal dinner site to take a few pictures! On the wedding day, Liss accompanied me as I got made up with hair and makeup as well. Liss and Bill were A LOT of fun, sharing their humor and grace with us throughout our engagement and our special day, even when we were late to respond to emails or send them schedules that they needed:) Not only are the photos spectacular (!) and well worth the cost, but their photography packages come with both Liss and Bill, so in the end you can choose from double the amount of pictures! My husband and I spent hours searching online for photographers we liked in the area, and Liss and Bill are by far the best in town! Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Marielle & Martin

Liss Sterling Photography far surpassed our expectations. Liss and Bill are extremely talented and passionate about their work which shows in every picture they take. They captured every special moment of our wedding and I can relive it by looking at our beautiful wedding album. This is not your typical cheesy posed wedding album, this is real life emotions that tell the story and show every little detail of your wedding day. They are worth every penny and more and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting the perfect wedding pictures.
Not only did we get everything we could have wanted out of them as photographers, but we also consider them to be our friends.
