Who Even is Lizzy Davis?

Well, it’s a long story! But I’ll try to give you the short version…

If you’ve ever been at a rock show and seen a girl with rainbow hair and a camera in her hands running around, that was probably me!

I’m a graphic & web designer turned freelance music, wedding, and landscape photographer. I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design and my intentions were to become a packaging and web designer for bands and record labels. I achieved that goal when I landed a freelance web design gig for a band when I was fresh out of college. But at some point during that job, I ended up with a camera in my hands in the photo pit of a rock show before I even realized what a photo pit was. That was the day my passion for capturing the emotion, excitement and adrenaline of concerts was ignited.

Music photography is the heart and soul of my life. As a very shy introvert, I credit it with helping me open up and experience life to the fullest. Aside from giving me opportunities to travel the country (with my camera, of course), I also credit music photography for tossing me into wedding photography (the 3rd wedding I ever shot was for a rockstar, but I’ll leave that story for another time!). It has lead me down a path I never could have dreamed of, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

As with many, my life was thrown into a whirlwind when the pandemic hit. Since concerts weren’t happening, I decided to pack up my bags and chase another dream – to live in the Caribbean. Now, I’ve discovered another passion for trying to experience a different country and culture to the fullest, and I’m currently documenting my adventures in Barbados in my blog.

Weddings are one of those extraordinary days where emotions and excitement run high – not unlike the feelings I get at a concert! It felt like a natural progression for me to dive into wedding photography, and I’m passionate about capturing the love and memories for couples to cherish forever.
