    Lydia is amazing to work with and a FANTASTIC photographer! Our day was perfect and every moment was captured. She was so easy to work with and very flexible. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. I literally looked through our photos (which came back in 3 weeks) and cried, laughed, and smiled from ear to ear. It was fantastic to relive the best day ever through the most stunning photos!

    I am at the age where all my friends are getting married, so fun. I love looking through wedding pictures, even if i don't know the couple, however, when I saw one of my friend's wedding pictures I could not stop looking at them, they were so beautiful, natural and fresh. I ended up finding the photographers website and looking through all the pictures I could feast my eyes on. When I got engaged I knew exactly who I wanted to take our photos. Lydia! She did such an amazing job. They are perfect, she captured everything we wanted and got us the pictures back very quickly. I will also add that she was very efficient and gave clear directions, waisting no time on our wedding our day.

    Lydia did an amazing job on not only our wedding photos but our engagement pictures as well. Everything I wanted and I described to her she achieved for us. I was worried about it raining and even though it didn't she was communicating with me the day before with backup plans.The quality of the photos and the time she takes to make them perfect is very appreciated. She truly cares about her clients and their wishes! I couldn't have chosen a better photographer to capture our favorite day.

    Lydia and her husband Reed were a joy to work with on our wedding day! They are such a sweet couple and very professional! Finding the perfect wedding photographer for my wedding was a very big task - I searched online for many hours and asked for tons of suggestions. Having a sister who is a fellow wedding photographer, I felt a lot of pressure from family and friends to find the perfect photographer - since my sister was taking on the task as matron of honor for the day. Lydia's work truly exceeded everything I could have dreamed of!! She captured SO many moments that my husband and I will be able to look back on for a lifetime! There were also so many pictures I had forgotten we had taken - those have become some of my favorite photos from the day! Every picture was absolutely stunning!! Lydia and Reed made our wedding day go by so smoothly - even with us having a large wedding party and a lot of family members to photograph!! I have been to plenty of weddings where pictures take way too long! Lydia was so calm and kept everything running on time!! Lastly, Lydia was SUPER speedy with getting our photos back to us!!! She posted a sneak peak on FB while we were on our honeymoon, which was such a fun surprise! And she also quickly edited my family's group photo from the wedding so that my mom could include the picture on our Christmas card! We received the rest of our photos just three weeks after our wedding!! She was so sweet in getting them to us so quickly so we could have them by Christmas time to show to our family!

    Thank you so much Lydia and Reed for being a part of our wedding day!!

    Having Lydia as our wedding photographer was a dream, as quality photography has always been incredibly important to us. She was so easy to work with, and we loved how confident and calm she was in guiding us through our wedding day. Her artistic eye is seen through the natural lighting and light editing in all of her work, which we love! We would recommend Photography by Lydia to any couple, and highly encourage you to make the lifelong investment with her.

    Lydia has been doing pictures for as long as I can remember. She started out in her late teens doing second shooting for another photographer. She has taken photos for me before I requested her to to my husband and I's wedding pictures. She is very talented and love doing her job. the details she shows in her work is fabulous. The wedding and engagement pics she took of us will be something to cherish and remember. I have already did some large prints of them and can't stop looking at them. I am able to print past a 20x30 print:-). I plan on getting more pictures done with her being our photographer. A must have photographer for those that like to keep memories in their home and share them with friends and families. Thanks to PhotographybyLydia that we were able to capture our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    PhotographybyLydia was the perfect choice for a photographer for our wedding. Lydia was so accommodating to our schedule and needs, she flawlessly worked through any and every awkward or confusing family relationss in order to include everyone, she was professional and focused while also remaining calm and adding peace to any chaos, she took initiative, was inspiring, and was attentive to our ideas and thoughts while still achieving the vision of her own. I enjoyed our special day without worrying for a moment that our pictures would be anything but beautiful and that every moment of our wedding would be captured. Lydia was more than a photographer to us that day and I am so thankful for her and am blessed by her talents and gifts.

    Lydia took my sisters engagement and wedding photos and once I saw the candid shots she took I had to have her for my wedding. With my wedding being out of town, Lydia was able to take shots at our rehearsal dinner which gave us great personal family shots to look back on. Lydia was extremely professional and gave us great guidance and direction on positioning where to be to get the perfect shot. She captured all of the "must have photos" I requested before our wedding when I sent her examples of photos I liked as well as putting her own twist on the "vision" of the photo. Lydia was great to work with on our wedding day and our pictures came out amazing. We are so pleased we were able to work with her on our special day.

    Lydia was a dream to work with and I am SO happy we chose her to take our engagement and wedding photos. I looked for a while for the perfect photographer and Lydia exceeded my expectations! After all, once the day we worked so hard to plan was over all we had was beautiful memories and gorgeous photos! She was so sweet and did a wonderful job. Lydia made us feel comfortable and was full of great ideas for poses and creative detail shots. She captured all of our special moments in a beautiful way. I couldn't recommend Lydia enough to other brides! I love my wedding pictures and will cherish them forever.

    We loved having Lydia as part of our day! Even my husband—who does not like having his picture taken—said over and over how professional she was and how comfortable he felt having her there. She does beautiful work!

    Lydia and her husband photographed our wedding and captured every aspect I wanted...great angles...perfect capture of emotions....unique and beautiful posing / positioning. All around FABULOUS job!! I am a photographer, myself, and get a little uneasy about not being the one behind the camera/setting up shots. I can honestly say that knowing that Lydia was responsible for capturing our big day made me not worry at ALL!! She was energetic, fun, and joyful to work with! She is flexible and willing to try anything we asked of her! She covered all of the details and candid moments. I would recommend using Lydia to photograph anything!! (She did our engagement photos, as well, and we were floored!!) She has a true gift!! :) Thank you, Lydia, for securing our wedding memories with your creative eye! :)

    Such a great photographer! Very sweet and professional. Just didn't have much discussion with what we wanted at the wedding as far as pictures other than of the wedding party. Other than that, great experience!

    Lydia has an incredible eye for photography. She needed very little direction and provided an impressive catalog of pictures from our event. We are very pleased with the end product, professionalism, and price. Highly recommended.

    Lydia was very professional and accommodating to my personal needs. She took my example photos and brought them to the engagement session and wedding and made sure to capture all the photos I wanted. She was very willing to take direction and open to ideas on the spot however she has good poses for you as well. The photos did take a long time to get back after the wedding (9 weeks) but I do have full rights to my photos now which is nice for printing.

    I cannot say enough good things about Lydia and her talent! We met before the wedding and she really thoroughly covered how things "usually go" and really let me see how important things were in our wedding timeline. She allowed me to make all the changes that I wanted and really listened when I explained my "vision" for the pictures. The pictures turned out better than my husband and I could have ever hoped for and we treasure them! We both agree we look at them and "remember the moment". Lydia is very professional and we are beyond pleased with her work! We will continue to use her for family photos in the years to come!

    Lydia was the photographer at my wedding. Her style of photography is more relaxed and in the background in order to catch candids. However, when we needed her direction and guidance for positioning she told us where we needed to be and what would look best. Not only was she wonderful on the wedding day but she took time out of her schedule to meet with me individually to talk over the wedding day before it came. Lydia is very easy to talk to and get along with. After the wedding festivities, looking at our pictures, we were very impressed by her work. She is incredibly talented. We were so thankful for her work and would recommend her to anyone!

    Lydia was wonderful to work with for our engagement pictures and on our wedding day! Specifically, on our wedding day there were so many other things to worry about and make sure to get right. It was so great having such peace and confidence in Lydia's ability to capture the moments that were important - and even the silly moments in between. I didn't need to worry at all about the photography once our big day arrived! We are very pleased with the results and all the beautiful moments she captured!

    Awesome work!

    Lydia is amazing! She has an eye for catching those special moments and finding the perfect lighting! I really enjoyed working with her from start to finish. She was very flexible and accommodating with my many requests and always quick to respond. She gave helpful suggestions on poses which helped my fiancé and I a lot on our wedding day! We were very pleased with all our pictures and the album she designed! I would highly recommend choosing her to capture your big day!

    Lydia was really flexible with me as she travelled out of state to my wedding. Since i didn't need engagement photos which was part of her package she helped work with me to make a package that would work for me. I didn't get the photo book which I kind of regret now and I know it is expensive for her to do after the fact, but I am quite particular about pictures of me so that I might recommend to people depending on if you want to choose the photos yourself or not.
