I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lily and her excellent team yesterday and had the time of my life. It was an early Christmas present from my wife, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with it. I have wanted to work with Lily for a long time, and I was not disappointed. The set-up was extremely professional and the entire team were lovely and helpful and very friendly. I simply cannot recommend Lily highly enough and I can't WAIT to work with her again. A truly beautiful model with an even more beautiful spirit. Thank you SO much for an amazing experience Lily.

I had a pleasure to do the underwater shoot with Lily and her team today and it was a great experience. I booked a spot as my own birthday present ( well, who else would really know what I want, right? ) and let me tell you, it was one of the best presents ever :) The whole team is absolutely professional, they took really great care of me and the other photographers and everything was masterfully planned and executed. I spent 7 hours driving from Scotland to Bourne, where they are based, and then drove 6 hours back home, but it was totally worth it. Would I recommend Lily and her friends? 110 percent. Would I go back for another shoot? Absolutely. Thank you everyone for a great experience, I'll be back :)

I worked with lily on an amazing underwater shoot in Peterborough. Her pre communications were excellent and very professional. The day was impeccably organised, everybody had a rota and knew what they were doing at all times. The outfits provided by lily were beautiful and fitted the theme so well. Tea, coffee and snacks were all provided and all the models were looked after so well. A fantastic experience and it was a pleasure meeting this talented lady. She has my highest recommendations and I cannot wait to work with her again.

I've worked with Lily on a number of her underwater shoots now... it's lovely, we're like a small family of floaters and sinkers (you can make your own minds up as to who does what!). Comms before each shoot are always spot on, and then on shoot day it's a brilliant atmosphere to work in... very supportive and friendly. It's great being considered a part of the team, and I'd recommend any photographers (or models) looking to try and capture underwater imagery (but who don't want to payout thousands for underwater housing) to definitely give one of her workshops a go... you won't regret it!

I worked with Lily and her team this weekend and had an absolute blast.

Pre comms were spot on - The day was organized efficiently and ran like clockwork.

Lily and the other models were fantastic underwater, each dive was a different persona and they stayed underwater - looking comfortable - for enough time to get the shot you wanted.

Models, Makeup, styling & hospitality – all first class. Highly Recommended.

Thanks for a great shoot

The fact that I'm leaving another reference for Lily La Mer says it all, really. She translates her intelligence into a profound awareness of her body and her surroundings which makes directing her a pleasure. Add her enthusiasm, creativity, humour and costume-creating skills and you can see why we work together as much as we do. Totally recommended!

I attended the latest Lily La Mer underwater photoshoot. Superbly well organised - pre-shoot information included all the info you could need about the location, when to arrive, what to wear, details of the models and what they would be wearing for the shoot etc. Once there the shoot ran like clockwork as Lily and her team made sure all the photographers have to do is relax and take photos while they do all the hard work.

A fantastic experience that I'd recommend to anyone wanting to get some fantastic shots that you wouldnt normally be able to do without expensive specialist underwater camera equipment.

I have worked with Lily la Mer on a number of occasions and the creativity and grace she brings to shoots is stunning. She is a complete pleasure to work with as well as great fun. I would thoroughly recommend shooting with her.

I have worked with Lily twice now, and both shoots were amazing. She is completely professional and has a great enthusiasm and drive to achieve great images. With the shoot I had today, there is no doubt in my mind that Lily was the absolute perfect model for the job and the pictures we produced show this. Such an amazing person to be around as well. Highly recommended!

Where to begin..!

I was invited to work with Lily La Mer at the Mermaid shoot she hosted yesterday, and was blown away by the sheer level of quality and professionalism she strives, (and achieves)to deliver. Lily i talented in so many ways, from creating outfits to poses to problem solving. Im pretty convinced she IS actually magic! Id love to work with Lily again, and would highly recommend adding her to your portfolio. You wont be disappointed.

Thanks Lily!

This is the first time meeting and working with Lily and I am so impressed. She is very friendly and easy-going as well as extremely organised and hard-working. Very professional.

She knows what looks great and continuously delivers that until the shoot is finished. I left the shoot feeling very confident about we had achieved and am so delighted with the day's results.

I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

I was asked to be the male model on one of Lily's underwater shoots and jumped at the chance. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, and I knew exactly what was expected of me prior to the shoot. On the day I was made to feel so welcome by everyone, and it really was an exciting and fun day! It was fantastic to watch Lily (and the other models) in the water - they moved with a lot more grace than me! I can't wait to dive again!

For anyone dithering about attending one of Lily la Mer's underwater shoots, all I can say is, stop dithering. It's an experience, and well worth the time and expense, you'll be able to put some unique images on your profiles afterward!

Wow, what a dream it was to work with Lily and her crew! As Jackass said, if you have been wondering if you should do a Lily la Mer shoot, you should absolutely do it! Everything, from preshoot communication, to the warm welcome and professional focus that everyone on the set had, all contributed to the making of memorable images. The organization of the crew maximized the time, and I only wish I could go and do another shoot with this team tomorrow. If you haven't done a mermaid shoot with Lily la Mer Ltd. you absolutely should treat yourself to the awesome opportunity they provide!

The first time I met Lily I knew I wanted to work with her. She just that energy about her.

Whatever I say doesn’t do her justice as she is one of those rare individuals who has an innate understanding about how things should be done gracefully.

Creative, imaginative and hardworking are just a few of the traits amongst many.

I would highly recommend Lily for any assignment you may have.

I've worked with Lily on a number of occasions over the last 18 months; she's been a major part of my development as a photographer.

She's organised, professional, intelligent, imaginative, preposterously creative, dedicated, passionate, uncomplaining and ready to try anything! We've got lots more planned :)

I have known and been friends with Lily since she was 18. She is one of the most intelligent, talented and lovely people I know and it has been great to see her develop as a model and performer over the years.

She is very professional to work with, very good with time keeping and professional both before and during a shoot.

I have shot with Lily in some extremely adverse weather conditions and she never complained, which were very challenging, she was enthusiastic and positive through out. She takes direction well and is good at posing.

I look forward working with Lily again in the future.

Lily is a very professional model. Easy to work with and has many great ideas. We created some excellent underwater shots and I would recommend her to any other photographer.
