These two had SO MUCH FUN literally all day long.  From boob grabs and booty bumps during their first look to jamming OUT at their reception, they truly enjoyed their day to the fullest. 

OH, and they both jumped in the lake at the end of the evening. (and yes, there’s photos! scroll to the bottom)

HEY HEEEYYYY Philly people!! At Lydia Joy Photography, we ditched the traditional “engagement session” and invited our couples to join us for “date night” sessions instead. Fishtown, Philadelphia is the perfect spot to explore multiple locations with plenty of unique spots without having to venture too far.

Here are my 10 favorite “date night” spots in Fishtown:

This past Friday, in the *unexpected* snow fall, I made my way over to Baltimore, Maryland to photograph Kellen + Sean’s engagement session. We started at The Anthem House, the spectacular apartment building where the two of them live, and we ended at Little Havana, a small bar down the street. Not only were both […]

Rachel + Davey’s wedding at the beautiful Historic Odessa and celebration at his family’s farm was one for the books.  The day was full love and sentiment, and you know I’m a sucker for details full of back stories.  From sycamore tree’s that were planted on Davey’s great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather’s wedding […]

Ok, so let’s be honest.  As female photographers, figuring out how to dress for weddings is tough.  This is a battle I’ve been fighting for 4 years now, and I finally think I’ve got it down. (trial and error, right?)  I went through the phases of this dress is too long, this dress is too short, […]

Working with Adrienne + Chris was so much fun!! I cannot wait to photograph their wedding later this year at Thousand Acre Farm!! Yesterday was their first time ever seeing Longwood Gardens, and they were in awe. Adrienne’s jaw dropped every time we entered a new room (and she went home with a million plants […]

At our initial meeting, these two knew they wanted their engagement session at Ocean City, MD.  It’s where Jimmy proposed, it’s where Emily’s family has vacationed for years, and it’s somewhere they’ll definitely be visiting for years to come.  I love photographing at a location that means so much to a couple.  Add sand, saltwater, and […]

This wedding has an extra special place in my heart. I met Jill about a year ago, when we met to see if she would like to be my assistant when I photographed weddings, and she has been right by my side ever since. When Jill asked me to photograph her wedding, I was so […]

There’s something so special about a sweet, intimate wedding day. Shannon + Zack were surrounded by their closest family and friends to celebrate their marriage, and their day was so beautiful! Faunbrook Bed & Breakfast was a cozy little venue surrounded by antique eclectic decor, which really fit the vibe of Shannon + Zack’s wedding […]

I always get excited about an engagement session, but this one had a special place in my heart.  Why?  Because Jillian is my assistant for all of my weddings *LJP couples, this is the girl you’ll be seeing on your wedding day.  she’s a life saver!!*  I am so incredibly honored and over-the-moon excited to be […]
