Hey there, I'm Lydia! I am a photographer with over 5 years experience, photographing across Australia. I started my career as a commercial photographer but soon found myself transitioning to weddings. I am drawn to the authenticity of wedding photography - I am not there to create a moment, I am there to honour and celebrate genuine connections and moments of love.

FAQ
You will receive a sneak peak within 48 hours of your wedding so you can announce you nuptials to the world! The full gallery will be delivered within 4- 6 weeks.
This depends on what areas of your wedding you would like photos of. I suggest writing a list of what is important to you and your partner.
Here’s a rough time guide for a typical western wedding. (Please note this will vary depending on cultural and religious practices.)
• Preparation - 30mins -1 hour per group
• Ceremony - 1 hour
• Post ceremony photos and family photos - 1 - 1.5 hours
• Wedding party photos - 30 - 45mins
• Couple photos - 1 hour
• Reception - 2- 4 hours Coverage is often determined by the run sheet and when you choose to have speeches, meals, first dances etc.
• Dance floor - 30mins.
Not at all! My style of photography focuses on capturing candid, naturally occurring moments. During the couple shoot I will rarely ask you to just ‘pose’. Instead, I have a collection of thought-provoking and entertaining prompts to ensure you and your partner feel as relaxed as possible.
Two words - golden hour! Approximately 1 hour before sunset and half an hour after sunset is the best time to schedule your couple photoshoot. That is when the sunlight is soft and warm and everything is just that little bit more romantic! Having said that though, being a wedding photographer means being flexible and creative. If sunset doesn’t work for your timeline I will work with you to create stunning couple photos regardless of the time of day.
My style of photography is based on capturing the candid and real moments. All final photos are edited with minimal colour grading and basic adjustments. I do not provide photoshopping as I believe that contradicts the ethos of my candid style.
