Hi, I’m Lydia (Rachel’s my middle name!), a wedding photographer, storyteller, and host of The Kiwi Wedding Podcast. I’m based in Auckland, New Zealand, but I'm always up for an adventure and love to travel.

My photography is all about capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, elevated, and true to you. With a calm and thoughtful approach, I blend relaxed documentary moments with a subtle editorial edge, focusing on real connection, intentional details, and the quiet in-betweens that make your day uniquely yours.

Through my podcast, I share honest conversations and helpful advice. Mostly by chatting with recently married couples about what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they’d known.

If you’re drawn to photography that feels effortless, editorial, and true to you, with a calm and grounded presence behind the lens, I’d love to connect. Let’s chat about your day and what matters most to you.
