whatever your love looks like ,
I'll be there to witness it fully.
Cinematic destination wedding photography packages rooted in connection, presence, and art.
You’re looking for someone who sees the whole picture. Who can hold the energy of your day, make you feel grounded, and catch the moments that matter without making it a production.
You want someone you trust so deeply, you don’t have to second-guess a single shot. You want to feel safe. Seen. Fully yourself. And you want your photos to reflect that.
Based in Minneapolis, usually not there. Available wherever your love story leads: Europe, the coast, the middle of nowhere.
I’ve been photographing weddings since I was 15 (yep), and now I work with couples around the world who aren’t interested in performative love — they’re interested in being present for the real thing. I blend cinematic storytelling with emotional intuition, so your photos feel like you. Just… extra dreamy.
I create space for you to be in your day.
I’m Lydia

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a gallery.
That would be boring as f*ck.
For the ones craving something different, the ones rewriting tradition: eloping isn’t about skipping the celebration—it’s about choosing meaning over expectation. Whether it’s a cliffside vow exchange or a candlelit backyard celebration, I’ll be there to document the stillness, the spark, and the story.
With elopements, there’s room to breathe. Room to be present. Room to focus on what really matters: the connection between you and your beloved. I work closely with you to shape an experience that feels like you—and then capture it with an intentional, artful lens.
Starting at : $2000
Not every story needs a big occasion. Whether you're long-time lovers, or simply want to celebrate a season of life, couple sessions are a chance to slow down and be seen. To create something just because.
Together, we’ll build a space where you can be fully yourselves—quiet, playful, affectionate, messy. I’ll guide the session with care and ease, blending your natural energy with a little editorial magic. The result is imagery that doesn’t just show you, but feels like you.
Starting at : $777
For creatives, artists, and brands with heart—this is more than headshots. It’s a chance to capture the essence of what you do and why you do it. No matter the community you serve, I approach brand storytelling with the same care and nuance I bring to every love story.
We’ll collaborate to create a visual narrative that’s elevated, intentional, and uniquely you. Think less “perfect poses,” more natural rhythm, texture, and tone—imagery that reflects your creative vision and connects with your people.
Starting at : $1200
You’re getting a grounded, present energy on a day that can feel like a whirlwind. I’m the one calming your nerves, adjusting your veil, hyping you up when you need it, and quietly catching the split-second moments no one else sees. You get intentional, cinematic photography that feels like you, not a version of you you were told to be. Travel? Handled. Weird lighting? Handled. Emotional meltdowns? We embrace them. I’m here to make you feel safe, seen, and completely yourself so the photos don’t just look beautiful… they feel like home.

Next Steps
I send you a long, lovingly chaotic email walking you through the full process — how I work, what to expect, and how we’ll make literal art together. You’ll also get my service menu with all the packages laid out clearly (no surprises here).
01. You inquire.
Pick the package that feels right for you. If you’re unsure, we hop on a call or meet up to vibe-check and build your dream experience together.
02. You choose your adventure.
Once you’re in, I send over the contract and invoice. You can pay the deposit or start a payment plan, whatever works for you.
03. We lock it in.
You’ll get a “Buzzfeed but make it romantic” getting-to-know-you questionnaire. I highly recommend making a date night out of it. Based on your answers, I’ll design a one-of-a-kind engagement session concept that feels exactly like you.
04. The fun part starts.
You get your engagement gallery within a few weeks. (Cue the happy tears and the “omg she GETS us” texts.)
05. We shoot. We hang. We make magic.
You’ll handle your official timeline, but I’m here for structure and guidance. I’ll also send a short questionnaire to help you build your family photo list so no one gets missed.
06. Wedding planning with support, not stress.
Gallery delivery is within 10–13 weeks after your wedding, and I promise it’ll be worth the wait.
07. You get married. I cry. I shoot the most gorgeous, emotional, real photos of your life.
My packages are all inclusive! My travel is already worked in to destination packages to make things easy for both of us. No hidden fees, what you see is what you get.
