1000% Recommend Hiring Lydia!!!

There truly are not enough stars to share how amazing of a photographer Lydia was on our wedding day!!! From our first meeting, we could already tell the amount of passion and care she was going to pour into our day, but she absolutely exceeded our expectations. She was a calming presence on the day of and expertly captured each moment as the day unfolded with a focus on us as a couple and the happiness we were experiencing. She delivered over 100 sneak peaks in just 24 hours which was amazing to be able to share with our friends and family and those who couldn’t attend. We were over the moon getting our full gallery back and cried so many happy tears being able to relive the most special day. Would 1000% recommend Lydia to any bride looking to have the best photographer in their corner on their wedding day! Thank you Lydia!!! (and Erin her amazing 2nd shooter)

Beautiful pictures with emotion and personality!

Lydia was truly a joy to work with! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she truly poured all her creative energy into making sure my wife and I had any and all the shots we needed. We loved her pictures so much that we even had one of them recreated via painting! She made everything feel really comfortable and made it easy for the two of us to just be ourselves, and it resulted in really beautiful, natural photos. Bonus points for really getting down to business when it was time for the large amount of family photos after the ceremony. She really kept things professional but efficient so we could enjoy the moment but get started on the reception. Lydia, you're the best!!

Authentic and Candid!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Lydia! From our engagement shoot to the big day, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She truly listened to what we wanted and created space for us to be ourselves, resulting in photos that felt real, natural, and so authentically us. On our wedding day, she captured every special moment while allowing us to stay present and focus on the joy of it all. Her calming presence, professionalism, and incredible eye for detail made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have had her be part of this journey—highly recommend!

The best in the game!!

Lydia far exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her services. From our first call, it was clear that she cared about the details I knew I wanted to capture… and she delivered!! Our gallery is full of authentic moments that bring my big day back to life every time I look back. Best of all, it was like she wasn’t even there (which was very important to me.. I didn’t want a camera in my or my guests’ faces all night). Yet somehow, the genuine joy in these photos helps us relive these special moments. Lydia, you crushed it!

Just stop right here!

Ok- STOP RIGHT HERE!!

Are you looking for someone to tell YOUR story, or someone to tell the same story?

When my husband and I were searching for a photographer I knew I needed to find someone we connected to. Lydia was great from start to finish! When we had our engagement session, I couldnt wait to do our "date night." I wasnt sure what to expect because we werent comfortable infront of cameras. Lydia made this simple by putting us right in our element! We chatted as if we were all friends sharing stories about our lives. This made for a very natural setting and that's exactly how our photos came out!

Now for the wedding! We happened to get married on the ONE day it rained/sleet/and snowed out of the year! In the beginning I was upset we wouldn't be able to get all of the shots I had hoped for. Stressed that my outside wedding, now turned upside down and inside. Lydia put Ed & I at ease the entire day. She put us first and made sure she grabbed us in time to have our first look outside when there was a 5 minute break in the weather. She took romantic shots inside, and made them ours.

Lydia made sure to capture all of the moments you didn't realize you wanted. If you want your photos to represent the little moments, the sentimental moments, the moments you will cherish for a lifetime. She is your girl.

When I look at my photos from our day, I picture Ed and I showing our children one day, them showing their children.

Lydia doesnt just capture your love story, she captures your legacy.

Thank you,
Mr. & Mrs. Kelleher

Lydia is truly one of a kind

I found Lydia through a friend and fell in love with her photos! I knew we had to book her the week we got engaged! Lydia is truly a special person and her photos are one of a kind. She makes you feel comfortable and makes the experience fun, enjoyable, and easy. Come wedding time, she does things so smoothly and doesn’t miss a thing. My family kept pointing out how she “never stopped”. She was there catching every thing. We have only seen our sneak peeks but already feel like we can relive our day through these beautiful photos. We can’t wait to see the rest.

Thank you Lydia, from the bottom of our hearts! Not only did we get a photographer, but I feel like we made an amazing friend.

Amazing!

Words cannot describe how phenomenal Lydia is! She really captured every beautiful moment of our engagement and wedding. I love her philosophy of no posing because everything looked and felt so natural. She literally laid on the floor to get amazing shots of our families and friends. I’m so grateful to her for helping us capture all the amazing moments of the fastest day of my life! Thank you!!

Stunning Wedding Photography

We worked with Lydia for our wedding photography and were beyond thrilled with her work! From the very beginning when we were first checking out photographers, we were extremely impressed with her professionalism, website and social media, and responsiveness. Lydia was always available to answer any questions we had and was respectful and friendly throughout the process. On our big day, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She explained all the details, walked us through a wide variety of poses, and truly captured who we are as a couple. After seeing our photographs, we were amazed at all she captured from our big day. The work Lydia does is completely stunning and we will treasure these photos forever. We cannot recommend Lydia highly enough to help meet and exceed all your wedding needs and expectations!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
