Hey, I’m Lydia — wedding photographer, moment-catcher, and honorary bridesmaid (without the matching dress).
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you — joyful, relaxed, and full of emotion. Whether you’re getting married downtown at The Arbor Loft or planning a cozy backyard celebration in the Finger Lakes, my goal is to capture the real stuff: the teary first look, the spontaneous dance floor moves, and the quiet in-between moments you didn’t even notice happening.
Based in Rochester, NY, I’m a big fan of golden hour, fall weddings in the Finger Lakes, and couples who want to be fully present on their day — not overly posed or stressed.
If you’re looking for timeless photos that feel honest and alive, I’d love to be part of your story.
