"Lydia was everything and more that we could ever ask for in a photographer... She got an amazing amount of beautiful shots & delivered them very quickly! Her personality is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable!

- Erika

"There are no words to truly describe how amazing she is as a person and at her job! We had a couple other interviews with other potential photographers..but there was NO comparison ...they didn't have the "Lydia" touch... I can honestly say she started out as our "photographer" and came out of it as a friend."

- Chris + Katelyn

"I looked at my fiancĂ© and said 'this is the woman I want to do every photo we ever need for the rest of our lives'. We knew that day that we needed her to be our wedding photographer. And I truly believe God crossed our paths for a reason."
