What to Expect

Okay.. what's next?
When you inquire, we’ll take the time to get on Zoom (or to grab a delicious caramel latte or a glass of wine!) and plan out every detail of what your vision is for your big day or your booked session. While I specialize in candid-style photography, we can determine any pre-set ideas or dreams you have for your experience, and build our photography playbook so that you wind up with your picture-perfect gallery.
02. Chat
mmmk. tell me more
On our introductory call, we’ll go over every detail you want to see on the day of the shoot. This will fuel our joint artistic vision and get you exactly the look you’re going for during your big day. Plus, I’ll get to know who you are, infusing elements of your personality, preferences, and overall aesthetic into every part of the piece’s composition and end “look.” Not sure what you’re going for yet? No problem! Instead, we can use the call to build and brainstorm together, getting you on track for some seriously great shots.
03. Capture
Heck yes, I'm in!
After the planning takes place, we get excited and wait for the big day to arrive. I’ll arrive on location to capture you and your partner looking absolutely stunning, and we’ll go through our pre-determined shot styles. Remember – this is YOUR shoot. So, if you have any last-minute ideas, needs or preferences, be sure to let me know. I’ll make your vision come to life with every snap of the lens!

Why It's Worth It...
You aren't just paying for the session...
You’re paying for a complete, end-to-end artistic experience that’s designed to do two things: Capture your beautiful love for one another and bring the two of you (even closer!) together! You’ll be able to let loose and get your love caught on camera–perfectly unposed and beautifully undone, letting your true selves shine through…whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or at-home couple’s session!
I'm ready to book!
I'm not your average photographer...
I’ve had 8 years in the photography game and have photographed (hundreds?) of weddings & couples giving me the depth of experience and creativity I need to tell your story through visual art.
photos you'll cherish for a lifetime...
Photos today are an investment for yourselves and your families in the future. You’ll be able to turn back time and look back on the love that you shared and the season of life that you’re in. They’re the most touching and impactful gifts that you can give…to others and each other. Plus, the session is a gift by itself–you’ll see why when you book! Speaking of that….

"Absolutely in love with our pictures!!!"
"I love my photos so much!
It's amazing! Even though there was hardly any snow for my winter wedding, Lydia still managed to capture some gorgeous off season shots of our big day! I'm absolutely in love with our pictures and we've received so many compliments from family and friends. When I was planning, one of the most common pieces of wedding advice I got from friends was "make sure you get a good photographer" and I'm so glad I listened!!"
-The Ingersol's
"It's worth it alone for the memories"
Lydia was truly amazing! We have never had our photos taken professionally, and she coached us through the whole thing. We have now received our photo gallery back and just breath taking! In tears looking at how beautiful they are! Would definitely recommend using her to capture any occasion! It’s worth it alone for the memories we have from our experience!
- Nicole & Jesse
"The BEST hands down"
Lydia is the BEST. Hands down. From doing pictures for our first pregnancy, to our engagement pictures, to our wedding; Lydia was along for the ride, and captured our love story and family perfectly. We love you so much! Thank you endlessly for everything!!!
- Brooke
"I knew I loved her"
After a very hectic wedding planning process, My husband and I never actually met Lydia in person before she shot our wedding. The minute she showed up I felt like I already knew her, and she made us all feel so at ease. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning, I still tear up when I look at them because Lydia really did such an amazing job capturing the whole day and all it’s special moments. I would 10/10 recommend Lydia to literally anybody for any occasion!
- Jamie
"She captured them perfectly"
Lydia captured the best moments during our shoot, we really wanted natural expressions and she captured them perfectly with our 3 boys. We love seeing their personalities shine in our photos!

FAQs
Where are you located?
Okay, so you travel – what are your prices for destination travel photography?
Do you offer payment plans?
That’s awesome. What happens if there’s bad weather on my big day?
We’re awkward in front of the camera (and we know it!) How can you help us snap out of it for the shot?
I’m based out of Fergus, Ontario – but I absolutely love to travel. Whether you’re kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower or eloping in a rural forest spot in Europe, I want to be there to capture the special moment!
We can talk about your specific travel photography needs on our intro call. Let’s connect and let me learn a little more. I’ll be able to quote you more accurately so that you can continue your decision-making process!
While package prices are firm to compensate for time and business costs, I may be able to facilitate a payment plan based on your unique situation. Connect with me if that’s something you might be interested in, and we can work together to find a solution!
Don’t worry about a THING, first of all. The first thing we’ll do is determine just how stormy or inclement it is. We’ll work to find a comparable shoot spot that still captures the moment without getting you or your partner soggy (unless that’s something you want, of course!) I’m all about the wild and free candids!
First of all, everyone feels a little awkward getting photographed. However, that’s why you hired me! I’m here to get you out of your shell and into a comfort zone of love, life, and being “in the moment,” keeping you there to get all the stills and action shots you want.
