A favorite part of my job is spending time with people and getting to know them on a deeper level, whether through trying out new hikes, meeting up for coffee, or grabbing lunch together! Having worked in a floral shop for three years and now also a makeup and hair artist, weddings combine all my loves! Everyone has a story and being able to share in that is such a privilege!
I’m Lydia, a wedding photographer living amidst the trees of Grass Valley, California and lover of European chocolate, capri blue volcano candles, team both coffee and tea, podcasts, and my newest guilty pleasure -- watching legal commentary on live court cases!
Most days you can find me working from home on my MacBook Air, driving over to a coffee shop for a work date (unless it's kombucha with G!), or traveling for a photoshoot I put together on a whim just
to be creative. Every day is new and different, and I thrive on the variety and freedom!
hello!
about me
1. Books! - especially when they're off my phone and in my hand
2. Team both coffee & tea - though Ethiopian light roast beans + my espresso machine has given it a slight edge
3. Magazines - graphic, fashion, and interior design, no wonder I love weddings so much
4. Chocolate - mmmm, European, of course, though dove is a fine substitute
5. Candles - capri blue volcano year round and pumpkin spice in the fall
6. Notes - handwritten and on cute paperie of any kind has my heart
7. Lip Balm - purse, nightstand, and makeup bag - always in reach
8. iPhone - AirDrop for the win!
9. Planner - I'm an organized wannabe, my Simplified Planner and Google calendar keep me on track and on time
And I hope to soon add soon: Ireland - London - Amalfi Coast - Loire Valley - Normandy
Some of my fav trips have included: Cape Cod - Pacific Northwest - Boston in the fall - Charleston - San Antonio - Yosemite - Fort Bragg - coast of Albania - Rome - Paris
Travel! While I believe Grass Valley, California is one of the most beautiful places in the world, I dream of traveling and capturing love in new places near and far!
Last but not least I love...
