HI, WE ARE LIDIA AND RUBEN CODREAN

Hi!

My name is Lidia and I’ve been in the wedding photography industry for ten years.  I’ve experienced so many beautiful and interesting love stories, and I have never tired of it.  My approach is simple and straight forward.   I am there to document your story, as noninvasive as possible  and to observe the small details that are often overlooked. My goal is for you to relive your wedding day with vivid detail every time you view your photos.

I enjoy being outdoors, staying active with my longboard and filling my home with plants.  I love to travel to new cities with Ruben and explore the local museums and food markets. I have an affinity for renaissance art and and gothic architecture.  I’m always studying art, old and new and drawing inspiration from it.

Ruben is my husband, best friend and travel companion.  He often second shoots weddings with me and he also creates unique wedding films.  He’s always enjoyed creating funny videos with friends, and loves a good meme.

Together we make Codrean Photography and Film and we look forward to getting to know you and your story.

“we take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. “

…what you have caught on film is captured forever. it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

OUR VALUES & THINGS WE LOVE

We love plants, carpentry, design and creating new things.  We’re big homebodies and enjoy a good Netflix documentary and spending time with our cat Luna.

We value family and friends and look forward to BBQs in the summer and the Christkindlmarket in the winter (we’re quite proud of our mug collection). We are laid back, easy going and enjoy a good sense of humor.  If you feel like we would be a good fit to documenting your special event, please get in contact below!

BOTH BORN IN ROMANIA AND RAISED IN THE STATES. WE LOVE CULTURAL WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS

CLEAN AESTHETIC AND A LOVE OF NATURE AND LANDSCAPES
