FOR Those who have a love story for the books

In true Leo fashion, let me talk about myself for a sec—LOL. I am a super outgoing and detail-oriented type B person. My art draws heavy inspiration from romance in cinema, music, and literature. I’ve always loved storytelling and even wanted to be a writer at one point. Photography became a shortcut for me; I didn’t have to write the words to express myself—I could just show it.

HEY BABE, I’M LYDIA

 I am the girl boss behind Lydia Evelyn Photo. I have a special talent for falling in love with everyone I meet and the story they carry around with them. If i am not shamelessly third wheeling I am more likely than not on a plane or enjoying my home base of Minneapolis; my slice of heaven in the states. Growing up I always knew I was a business woman, buying my first camera at twelve years old and running a full business by fifteen. As the years have flown by I have curated a cinematic, photo journalistic style, with editorial touches specifically for the madly in love. I am available internationally and I am so ready to become best fucking friends. 

P.S if you've read this far... I am blushing

period end of story. 
Inclusivity, love, and kindness are at the core of my business. My business is a representation of who I am, the queer community plays an integral part in my life. allyship is a necessity for me. I have a very important role to play as a wedding vendor and I do not take my privilege lightly. I have zero tolerance for homophobia of any kind, this extends to wedding vendors, guests and clients.
I am so happy you are here.

This experience is about you- not me. I promise to honor whatever your celebration of your love looks like. The art we create is not for the industry, for likes. or follows. Every single couple brings a different story to the table and it is so respected to have different boundaries come with that. It is my highest priority to keep you in a safe creative space you feel most authentic in.

LOVE LETTERS FROM MY SWEET CLIENTS

"Let's start by saying Lydia was straight up FUN! We have done a variety of shoots with different photographers, but our experience with her was hands down top of the list. The way she interacted with us (2 people she'd never met), made us feel like we'd been best friends for years! She set the tone, crafted the mood, and worked her magic behind the camera lens to provide us with a STUNNING set of pictures. Her excitement about the work she was doing in the moment is what really set her apart. Lydia was all-in the whole time and so 'giddy excited' throughout the shoot and afterwards."

"We are absolutely in love with the work that Lydia does. Luckily, my now fiancé chose Lydia as our photog for our engagement & we were beyond thrilled with her friendliness, talent, & turnaround time! We definitely recommend her to those looking for fun couple shoots, weddings, engagements, etc!”

"Lydia is a superstar! We loved every minute of working with her. She is extremely professional, thoughtful, fun, and has a great eye for details. A true artist. She exceeded my wildest dreams. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend her."
