Testimonials

Kayla K.

Lydia was a wonderful choice of photographer! She was so easy to communicate with, she made the planning and timeline effortless. I had seen her work with my niece and it was beautiful! I knew right away that I wanted her to photograph our wedding day. She made me feel beautiful and made sure she captured every detail of our day! She sent a preview within a week, when the rest of the photos arrived, the website was easy to navigate and downloading the photos was a breeze. When I look back at the photos I still feel all the same emotions, they are truly amazing! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get photos done!

Welcome to Lydia Rae Photography.

 

Hi! I'm Lydia - a portrait, wedding, and event photographer in West Michigan.


I am here to capture all the magic of you, whether it's your senior pictures, or your wedding photos.


When I am not behind a camera, you can find me working out, editing photos, and doing my homework. I am a student at Ferris State University, studying elementary education. I hope to be a Speech Language Pathologist during the school year & continue my photography career in the summers!


As I grow older, I fall more & more in love with photography. I love bringing out the wonderful color of the world through my photos. Bringing you the exact visual of life. I look forward to working together!
