We had the pleasure of having Lydia for our engagement session and wedding day. Lydia is nothing short of fabulous!!
She is sooo hardworking, getting in every last shot you can imagine. She really thinks of everything to make your wedding as seamless as possible. Thank you Lydia, we are so lucky to have you!
Lydia was absolutely phenomenal! She is so incredibly talented and so nice as well. She really helped me with everything including planning my timeline for the day which was so so important! She kept us on track all day. She is so organized and had everything and everyone we wanted pictures with written down so she wouldn’t miss anything we wanted. She was my hype girl during the pictures telling me I looked beautiful and showing me the shots she was taking on her camera! It was exactly what I needed! I highly highly recommend her and I’m so glad I found her on here! We are a chill couple and just wanted some fun magical forest pictures and she really captured us. ❤️
All I can say is WOW!!! We knew from the moment we saw our engagement photos that we were going to LOVE our wedding photos....and we did! Lydia did such an amazing job capturing special moments, big and small, on our big day. We couldn't help but smile looking through all our photos. Lydia was professional, calm, and kept us on track the day of the wedding. She really went above and beyond to make sure the day was absolutley perfect, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful, meaningful photos on their wedding day!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lydia! She walked us through the entire process from beginning to end and was incredibly timely in all of her communication. The engagement photo shoot was fantastic and helped all of us feel more comfortable and excited for the big day!
On the day of the wedding she was so incredibly professional, patient, and prepared. She was able to capture authentic, natural moments throughout the entire event and the final results are breathtaking!
Thank you again, Lydia! ❤️
From the very beginning Lydia was super sweet and responsive to all of our emails. She worked with us in scheduling the day even when we had to change a few things because of potential bad weather. She was super patient with our large wedding party from start to finish. She captured so many great photos from the posed to the candid we love them all and are so happy with her work! We highly recommend her to capture your big day!
We had a wonderful time working with Lydia on our engagement photos! She has a great eye, and helped us feel comfortable. Our pictures turned out great, and Lydia shockingly even managed to snap a few pictures with our highly uncooperative cat :-)
When we were searching for a photographer, we did a ton of research. In doing so, we found Lydia’s website and immediately sent an inquiry. From the moment that we met with her over zoom, we knew that she was the only person that we wanted to document our big day.
We are awkward and hate having photographs of us taken, and Lydia made us feel so confident and comfortable. Our engagement photos turned out so lovely! She listened to what we wanted and made perfect suggestions as to how we could document our engagement and get more comfortable in front of the camera. She is so encouraging and kind!
During our wedding she took charge and moved us through the day without any complications. We felt so happy knowing that she was there by our side, guiding us through the process. A couple of days after the wedding, Lydia provided a sneak peak of our photos and we have been so overwhelmed by how beautiful just those handful of photos turned out. We can’t stop talking about them, looking at them, drooling over them!!!
Her photography looks timeless and is so natural. It looks straight out of a magazine. Just. Wow.
If you are going to hire anyone as a vendor for your wedding, you have to hire Lydia. We keep joking that we want to hire her full time to document everything in our life. She is truly an artist and a gem of a person!
Lydia did an absolutely wonderful job capturing my wedding last weekend! When I had to postpone my wedding in 2020, she was flexible with moving the date, and ensured me things would be great! Her calm and happy presence throughout the day and night were exactly what I hoped for and put me and my guests at ease! She showed up early, was ready to go, and guided us through the whole day. I am swooning over my sneak peaks and just can’t wait to see them all soon!
Lydia was amazing!!!!! She was so fun, interacted with my crazy family and friends, but was still able to make my husband and I feel special and like she knew us! We already got some sneak peak pics back and they are beautiful beyond words! She definitely knows what she’s doing!!! And I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Lydia was absolutely phenomenal! She is so kind and patient. Like many people in 2020 our wedding was postponed, twice! This August we finally got to celebrate! Lydia has been attentive to emails and date changes for nearly two years! She is organized and has a great day of schedule. As the big day unfolded, my schedule got a bit delayed. Lydia was so great and easy going about all my delays. The most amazing photos are the ones I didn’t even know she was taking. We could not be more pleased with choosing Lydia as our photographer and would recommend her to everyone!
Lydia was AMAZING! Due to Covid we had our ceremony in December and reception the following July. She worked with us every step of the way and ensured I had photos on both days. She was flexible, kind, went above and beyond and was so easy to work with. I have received so many compliments on my photos. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made. She is a true professional.
Lydia was the best! It was so important for me to have memorable photos of our wedding but it was also important to have someone we felt comfortable with and enjoyed being with for such a big portion of our wedding day. Lydia exceeded all expectations. She was organized and thorough in the wedding planning process and went above and beyond to scope out photo spots based on what we said we wanted. She was creative and flexible and stayed calm even when we got very off track with our timeline! Lydia was helpful in giving good directions and thought of little details while also finding time to take candid shots. She was patient and even was willing to add on a few hours to make sure we got sunset and dancing photos. Christina was her second photographer and also did such a great job! We love our photos and are so grateful Lydia was part of our big day! Book now! 😍😍
Lydia’s sensibility to beauty and ability to capture emotions in intimate moments is incredibly impressive. I would never have thought someone could encapsulate in a photo our closeness and the feelings we have for each other the way she did. The photos she took are truly STUNNING, yet what I was most surprised by is how she really captured “US”. Our relationship and each our personalities show through every picture and I just couldn’t believe it.
Absolutely amazing ! I couldn’t of asked for more amazing photos or person to capture our special day !
Great to work with
Personal, professional, knowledgeable. Appears to have a passion for photography and all that is involved in quality.
Beautiful photos - excellent photographer! Lydia really knew how to capture the joy we feel. Loved the experience and the photos!
Absolutely amazing! Photographer was very communicative and quick with anything we needed. Very upbeat and fun during photos. Made the whole process stress free and had nothing short of fun and a good time
Breathtaking photos !
Lydia is amazing ! She is wonderful in person really help you feel comfortable and the pictures are just absolutely gorgeous. 1000/10 !
Wonderful photographer! She is great to work with and has that special ability to capture priceless, candid moments.
Lydia was AMAZING! My fiancé and I are usually awful at taking pictures, but she made us look and feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I loved how our engagement photos came out, and I look forward to our wedding photos!!!
Lydia captured moments in a way I couldn’t even imagine. Our wedding was small, simple and sweet and she found a way to capture every smiles and moments has they happen. I smile every time I look at our wedding photos and know it will always be a way to remind us on why we chose to spend the rest of our lives together.
Lydia was a dream come true to work with! I wish I had more wall space in my house to put up all the photos she’s taken of my family on my wedding day. They are all so stunning!! We love that all her images are so GENUINE and that she captures real moments. The way she uses the light is always so beautiful and she was so good at making me feel comfortable.
I could not be happier that we chose Lydia for our photography. She and her assistant were great! She helped us feel relaxed all day and captured genuine moments without us knowing she was there. I would highly recommend!
