As a Nashville wedding photographer, I believe your wedding photography experience should feel just as thoughtful as the images themselves. You deserve a photographer who knows when to step in and when to step back. I’ll offer direction when you need it while leaving space for genuine moments to unfold.
With a background as a professional ballet dancer, I have an instinct for movement, timing, and the little details that make a portrait feel natural.
My approach to wedding photography combines posed and candid moments with true-to-color editing. I provide planning support and keep everything organized so you can feel prepared and enjoy your wedding day.
Beautiful images, thoughtful direction, and room to simply be.

Meet Lydia
My journey to photography has been a natural extension of my years as a professional ballet dancer. After spending so much of my life on stage, I found a new way to tell stories through a camera.
I love getting to know my couples and helping them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I enjoy capturing the way they look at each other, the people who make their day special, and all the little moments they may not notice themselves.
Hi, I’m Lydia!
Aly and Lee
Lydia McRae Photography was the best choice I made for my wedding! She was kind, professional and knew how to position everybody to look our best. She was calm when I, the bride, was not. Lydia helped out so much with the scheduling and everything. Can't go wrong.
kind words from my couples
Kenlee and Jace
She was so sweet from the start, gave me a hug when we met her and instantly made me feel better. This was our first professional photoshoot and Lydia just made it so easy and comfortable the whole time. We are from out of town and weren’t familiar with the area and she helped us find the perfect spots for the perfect pics! These pictures will always mean so much to us and just can’t thank her enough!
"If you are questioning, just book her."
Judy and Scott
She has a wonderful eye, seeking out the best light, unique perspectives and flattering angles. Lydia’s photos reflected our emotions – which is not easy to do. She was professional, easy to work with and unobtrusive. I highly recommend Lydia for any of your photography needs.
"Lydia beautifully captured the magic of our wedding day."
