About this vendor
Let's start with the honest truth: I love what I do. I started Lydia Jane Photography in 2006 and since the beginning one thing has never changed: I approach every wedding I photograph as if it were two of my friends getting married. Your wedding is a big deal! My goal is to be one less stressful part of your day. The quality of care I pour into you, my client, directly results in how comfortable and relaxed you are around me when it comes time for me to photograph your wedding. So, let's get to know each other better! Message me so we can set up a time to meet in person and chat.

We had an awesome experience with Lydia during our engagement photo shoot at Rosario Beach near Deception Pass. Even though it was about two hours south of Vancouver, Lydia gracio...
usly made the drive and made the shoot exactly what we were looking for. She got there early to scope out the best places to take pictures and it definitely helped the shoot itself flow smoothly. One of Lydia’s goals was to make the pictures look and feel natural and she definitely succeeded in doing that. We were very pleased with the final product!
Lydia is phenomenal! She was so sweet and helpful from our first meeting and our entire experience with her was nothing but positive. We lived in Europe while planning our wedding...
, so most our communication was online, but she was always quick to respond to any question I had and made sure we were on the same page leading up to the wedding day. On the day of, she was an absolute godsend - completely flexible and helped us stay on track with our timeline. She was always kind, calm, incredibly professional and made sure we were always having fun. After seeing all of the amazing photos she took, I am convinced she must have been in 5 places at once throughout the entire day because she captured EVERYTHING. Our photos are beautiful and everything we could have hoped for, the perfect encapsulation of memories to remember our wedding. We are incredibly grateful for her amazing work and would highly recommend her to anyone!!
We planned our entire wedding from halfway across the world. I was so worried about choosing the right photographer— we needed somebody who wouldn’t be afraid to work with us at a ...
distance, who would be comfortable with my non-English speaking in-laws, and would fit in well with our crowd. Lydia was all of this and more! Leading up to the day, she was so prepared and asked questions that actually helped us with the overall planning. And on the day, she dove right in as soon as she arrived. We had rain on and off all day, which made movement more complicated. But Lydia’s calm and clear direction kept everything running smoothly throughout the day. She captured so many incredible photos, and we had a lot of laughs in the process. Afterwards, so many of our friends and family commented on how kind and professional Lydia was, and we were totally blown away when she made sure we had our photos before we traveled back home 6,000 miles away. All in all, we can’t recommend Lydia highly enough— she was such a pleasure to work with!! :)
Lydia is SO easy to be around while also being extremely organized and pays close attention to detail. What else could you want from a photographer? Her talent is undeniable and he...
r works truly speaks for itself. She is kind, reliable and attentive. She is also a darn trooper. It was 19° and windy on our wedding day and she embraced the heck out of it. Everyone called me crazy for wanting a winter wedding (and actually going through with it) since I was a little girl, but not Lydia. I think the woman actually enjoys a challenge! People that are really good at what they do usually do I think. She made us feel comfortable while also giving helpful guidance through out the day. We live out of state and she was extremely accommodating to the little time when had when we were in town. From the very first meeting with Lydia to receiving our photo package after the wedding in the mail, there is not one negative word or thought we could have about Lydia. We love our photos and so do all our friends and family, we love our memories and we love her.
The photographer was one of the most important aspects of our wedding, and I could not be happier that we used Lydia. She covered all of the necessary bases and was a dream to work...
with. Our photographs are gorgeous. If you want memorable and beautiful candids, then Lydia is your girl! I cannot say enough positive things.
Lydia's communication and organization (pre-wedding) led up to an amazing wedding experience and photos to prove. She is so talented and can capture that perfect look! We had many ...
friends and family complement our photographer choice, and I feel like we certainly invested in the right one :)
I can’t begin to say how thankful I am that we found and chose Lydia! Her beautiful work speaks for itself, but her caring personality and the way she connects with clients and gue...
sts is truly special. From the second we met her, I knew we would be in good hands and that we wouldn’t have to worry about any detail during our big day. And we were right. As someone that does events for a living, I wanted someone who was also very detail oriented and just handled things. She far exceeded my expectations, and I feel like I found a friend in the process. Even my bridal party mentioned how much they enjoyed her company, and how she effortlessly fit into our day. I can’t recommend her enough!
Look no further than Lydia Jane for your photography needs!! She did an amazing job for our wedding photos and went above and beyond our expectations. She was so easy to work with ...
since the very beginning. She was also flexible and geniuenely up for a mini photoshoot of me and my cats on my wedding day! :) She perfectly captured the vibe that we were hoping for and photographed all of the best moments of the wedding. We are easily in tears every time we look at some of the photos. We also had Stefan, Lydia’s husband, videograph portions of our wedding and he created a beautiful, slow motion video that was also just perfect. We believe candid photos of a wedding are always the best ones. You will get your 100% perfect family photos with Lydia. At the same time, her work on capturing the emotions of the day is really going to touch the bottom of your heart! Lydia Jane is the best!
Lydia was our wedding photographer this past summer and we were very impressed with her. She was so organized and knows what she is doing as far as what kinds of questions to ask ...
before the actual day. She has been doing this for a long time and it definitely shows. Her day-of presence was kind, cheerful, gentle, yet assertive--very professional. We were so impressed with her photos as well. They seriously captured the day and told a story in a beautiful, candid, and lovely way. Definitely recommend!
I loved working with Lydia for lifestyle photos for my business. She was very kind + funny and I felt comfortable with her right away, which meant the photos turned out beautifull...
y + were very natural. The pictures are truly gorgeous + I'm so excited to share them! Thank you, Lydia!
Lydia was an incredible photographer and we couldn't be happier to have had her photograph our wedding. She has years of experience and it showed in her professionalism, insight, a...
nd how awesome our photos turned out! We also knew that we would be spending more time with our photographer on our wedding day than with many of our guests, so we wanted to make sure our photographer was someone we meshed well with - Lydia was SO much fun and sweet, and we gained a new friend out of it! Also, even before our wedding photos, my now-hubby and Lydia secretly coordinated her flying out to Los Angeles to photograph his proposal. It is priceless to have that memory captured and those photos turned out absolutely beautiful as well!
Lydia Jane was amazing for my fiancé and I! I actually had been following her on Instagram and she was doing a brief stint in my neck of the woods, so we jumped on the chance to hi...
re her. She was totally professional, incredibly responsive by email and text, and also very flexible. We had to change our shoot location at the last minute from the Lincoln Memorial to the National Cathedral due to my fiancé being really under the weather the day of. Not only was Lydia fine with this, but she also knew this spot really well and produced the loveliest pics for us:) In the end, I was glad we had to change locations! Lydia is extremely personable (and I see this as part of what you pay for in a photographer) and really good at directing poses for couples like us who are not picture takers by any means. She made us feel sooo comfortable so quickly and made this so much fun:) I already told her we want to hire her again. If you go with her for your photographic needs, you will be well taken care of and your friends and family will gush over your photos!
A few years ago, while browsing one of my favorite blogs, I came across a wedding photo shoot that was unlike anything I'd ever seen. I instantly fell in love with the photos - the...
lighting, the natural edits, the way the candid shots told a story. I looked at the credentials, saw Lydia's name, and bookmarked the site. I knew that when the time came, Lydia would be my wedding photographer.
Lydia was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. I was a bit nervous hiring someone so far away (our wedding was in New York) but the distance didn't phase her in the slightest. She was so professional, so friendly, so go with the flow. She embraced my friends and family like her own and was eager to help out in any way she could. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of her lens, and the results are absolutely gorgeous. We love every single shot.
At the end of the weekend, I didn't say goodbye to my photographer - I said "See you later!" to my friend. Thank you, Lydia, for everything!
