“We came across Lydia's photography as we were looking for the perfect match for our desired style. We were delighted by her quick responses, how easy the booking process was, and how she tailored the packages for what we needed. Lydia was absolutely wonderful at guiding us with poses (we are very stiff haha) and had thoroughly thought through our preferences and hopes we had shared with her beforehand. We got all the photos from the day with an extremely quick turnaround! What a dream. She captured exactly the moments we had wished for, and we loved to have received so many photos in the editing style with such timeless touch. Overall we absolutely loved working with Lydia, she's extremely professional, has an amazing style, easy to approach and knows how important these moments are for the couples! We would highly recommend booking with Lydia - she will deliver amazing photoshoot sessions and even better results! Thank you for turning our wedding into forever memories we can continue to cherish!”

“Lydia really went above and beyond for us. She made a very camera shy, awkward bride and groom feel very comfortable and her communication through out the wedding and the build up was excellent. We requested some posed photos but mostly documentary/candid style photos and she gave us exactly what we were looking for. She even stayed later to snap some extra shots. She’s also just a really lovely person and we had guests say the same on the day. I can’t thank or recommend her enough!”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Lydia. Our original photographer cancelled just a couple of days before our wedding, and since we’re from Canada and didn’t know anyone in the area, we were honestly panicking. We reached out to Lydia and she stepped in without hesitation. She was beyond accommodating from the very first message. Her eye for detail is incredible - she knew exactly how to use the landscape, the light, and the atmosphere to bring our vision to life. She offered so many thoughtful suggestions for different shots around the area, ones we never would have thought of ourselves, and every single one turned out beautifully. Lydia didn’t just do what we asked… She delivered so much more. She made us feel comfortable, guided us effortlessly, and captured the day exactly how we wanted it remembered. We feel unbelievably lucky that she was the one who ended up photographing our wedding. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate - she’s truly amazing.”

“Lydia captured our day exactly as we wanted - natural and intimate and we couldn’t have asked for more. We had a little family accident and she was incredible and phoned the ambulance for us! Everything ran smoothly and she made us feel relaxed and comfortable infront of the camera! Highly recommend. Thank you!”

“Lydia was an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish she made us feel totally at ease and all our friends and family found her very helpful and a joy to be around. Thank you, Lydia, you captured our wedding day incredibly well; we absolutely love all of the photos!”

“Lydia was amazing! She took our surprise engagement photos and captured the moment perfectly. From start to finish, she made my planned proposal such an awesome experience. We’re so thankful to have had her there to capture such a special moment for us. We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“We used Lydia for our Edinburgh elopement. I come across her Instagram and she had great communication when I booked and the run up to the wedding. We also used Lydia as one of our witnesses which she was more than happy to do. On the day she made us feel so at ease as we walked about Edinburgh with our two boys. She knew all the best places for the best pictures. She sent us a sneak preview the night of the wedding which we used to tell our families about the news. We then received all the pictures when we were on our honeymoon. I was blown away with our pictures. I can not recommend Lydia enough. Thank you again for being part of our day!”

“We had the best experience with Lydia - she literally hiked up a mountain to capture our once in a lifetime moment. We appreciated her calm and happy personality, and she captured both candid and more posed moments. We will cherish her photos forever!”

“My fiancee and I can’t say enough great things about Lydia!! We flew in from the US for the Fringe Festival and Lydia was so helpful in planning my surprise engagement! I would have been so lost if it wasn’t for her help and I am so happy we trusted her because our photos are AMAZING! During the shoot she made me and my fiancee feel so comfortable. She was great with directions for poses and kept everything fun and easy. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an engagement photographer in Edinburgh!”

“We absolutely loved working with Lydia for our engagement photos! She made us feel so comfortable and captured our relationship perfectly. The photos turned out stunning, full of warmth and emotion, and truly reflect who we are as a couple.”

“We’ve booked with Lydia twice now to capture some special anniversary memories for us, and couldn’t recommend her more. She’s been so flexible and open to trudging across Edinburgh to fulfil my wacky little visions, and she has overdelivered every time!! Our second photoshoot was at Craigmillar Castle, and the gallery Lydia delivered still blows me away. Every image is so instilled with laughter and magic—she was the best possible person to bring the fantasy to life!”

- Jade (Couples sessions in Edinburgh Old Town and at Craigmillar Castle)

“My partner and I had the most amazing experience with Lydia during our engagement shoot in Edinburgh. From the very first moment, she made us feel so comfortable even though we’re not used to being in front of the camera. Her warmth and creativity made the whole experience feel natural and fun. You can truly tell she has a passion for photography. Every picture captures real emotion and feels so genuine. She thought along with us every step of the way to create the most beautiful, unique shots that still looked effortless and authentic. I’m so grateful for how perfectly she captured our special day. These photos mean the world to us, and I’ll cherish them forever. Highly, highly recommend booking Lydia for any occasion! I truly can’t wait to book again!”

- Femke (Surprise proposal and engagement session at Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland)

“The pictures of our elopement in Edinburgh came out incredible and we get to hold onto this special trip for a lifetime because of them. Lydia was super knowledgeable about the city and mapped out our entire shoot from where to have the ceremony to then capturing some of the best scenic areas of the city. She even hopped on zoom calls prior to the trip to better understand our vision and she executed perfectly. She is professional and will work with you to see your vision thru! We highly recommend her, 10/10 experience!”

- Zach and Jessica (Elopement in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland)

“Lydia is a truly wonderful photographer who captured our wedding day beautifully. Even when unexpected weather restricted what we could do on the day, she was incredibly understanding and even offered us a discount so we could re-shoot some photos later. We took her up on this and turned it into a family photo session and we absolutely love the images! Lydia was kind, patient, and made us feel so comfortable throughout both shoots. We also received our final photos in great time, and the quality speaks for itself. I’m so grateful for her talent and professionalism. I highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for stunning photos and exceptional service!”
