the photographer, storyteller, and quiet hype-woman behind the camera. I believe your wedding photos should feel as natural and beautiful as the day itself. My approach is all about blending editorial elegance with real, unposed moments, so your gallery feels timeless, true-to-color, and full of life.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, sipping good coffee, and soaking up time with my family — the very things that remind me why preserving memories matters so much. I know how quickly the little moments can pass, and I want you to have images that let you hold onto them forever.
My couples describe me as calm, organized, and someone who makes being photographed feel easy and fun — even for those who claim they’re “awkward” in front of the camera. Whether you’re planning a luxurious Idaho Falls wedding, an intimate Grand Teton elopement, or a destination celebration, my goal is simple: to make you feel celebrated, cared for, and completely present on the best day of your life.
Behind every great wedding day experience is a team — and I’m lucky enough to have the best one. My little sister joins me as my content creator and assistant, capturing behind-the-scenes moments and making sure every detail runs smoothly so I can focus on telling your love story.
At home, I have two of the sweetest little business helpers — my daughters — who love to keep me company during editing marathons. Add in my loyal editing buddy (our sweet pup, who never leaves my side), and an incredibly supportive husband who cheers me on every step of the way, and you’ve got the dream team that keeps Lizee Gardner Photography running with heart.
When you work with me, you’re getting more than just a photographer — you’re getting a whole crew who believes in what we do and who loves celebrating couples just like you.

Like many things in life, Lizee Gardner Photography started with a little curiosity and a lot of courage. I was completely self-taught, armed with a $300 camera I found on Marketplace and zero idea what I was doing. Two months later, I photographed my very first wedding — and I fell in love instantly.
What started as a leap into the unknown quickly became a passion for capturing the kind of moments that take your breath away: the laughter, the quiet glances, the details that tell your unique story. Every couple since has reminded me why I started this journey: to turn fleeting moments into timeless memories you’ll cherish forever.
