01. INQUIRE
Inquire using the contact form right here on my website, feel free to share your love story, wedding vision, and any of your needs with me! If you don’t know quite what you want or need yet that's cool too just let me know. I will get back to you in a day or two and answer all of your first questions!
02. our first date
Awh our first date! This is where we will chat over a local meal, phone call, or zoom and ultimately get to know each other better. You and your partner can ask me all of your burning questions from vendor recommendations to engagement session locations and everything in between. This may just be my favorite part as it is our first chance to truly bond and create a relationship with each other because who the heck wants a stranger at their wedding.
03. plan
In the planning stage you get to choose me as your photographer if you feel we are a good fit, this will follow with a contract and invoice. Once all is signed and the retainer is paid you are officially on my calendar (eek yay!!). Now we will get into the good stuff aka picking a day for you guys to get in front of my camera, engagement session location and outfit mood boards, wedding timeline, wedding day questionnaires and so much more
04. engagement sesh
Telling your love story for the very first time will be magical, effortless, and unique. You will get to see how my camera and I work as a duo and what you can expect from me on your big day. Prior to your session, I will send you an outfit + engagement session guide so you really know what to expect. I will help plan and pick legendary locations that reflect you and your partner. When shooting I will stray away from poses and rely on prompts to create anything but awkward candid pictures. We will laugh hard + jam out to your favorite tunes making for an incredible adventure with incredible pictures to show for it.
05. saying "i do"
Doing the damn thing- everything we have been waiting for, the story I have been eager to tell. Your one-of-a-kind love story. I will aim to capture and preserve every little part of your story in a way that reminds you exactly how you felt in that moment. Being part of your day is something I will never take for granted and something I am so thankful and proud to be part of.
06. post-process
The final part- creating art. You are guaranteed a sneak peek gallery hours following your wedding day. A few weeks following you will receive a password-protected gallery containing your love story- told in the very order it occurred. You can download the gallery straight to your device and share it effortlessly with your family. I can’t wait for you to get all the feels when you relive your big day.

LOVE LETTERS FROM MY SWEET CLIENTS
"Lydia did such an amazing job with my graduation pictures! She was very responsive to questions and flexible with scheduling. I loved her positive energy during the shoots and her editing is great! She had really good location ideas as well. Overall, I had a great experience!"
"Lydia Swedberg is by far the best photographer i have ever worked with and made my grads an unforgettable experience! Her style is super flattering and I couldn't have asked for a better experience"
“I’ve been able to see Lydia pour her heart and soul into this business from the very beginning and it is so obvious how much passion and love she has for photography. I’ve done so many shoots with her over the years but my favorite was my grad session. She did such a good job capturing the vision I had. Book a session with her you will not regret it.”
